Connecticut will send you a sales/use tax bill as soon as
you register your aircraft with the FAA and list a CT
residence.
Damn right they will. That's why you put "$1 and OVC" (other valuable
considerations) on the sales receipt when you buy an aircraft, rather
than the purchase price. Book value is negotiable, a receipt is not.

I know several people who respond to the sales/use tax bill
by notifying the CT tax man that they didn't buy it in CT,
they don't hangar it in CT and they don't fly it in CT. The
tax man goeth away (reluctantly).
