I'm buying a second-hand GlaStar kit from Florida and I'm in Texas.

1. Does anyone know if there are sales tax or property tax implications
regarding the purchase? I am picking it up myself and hauling it to Texas.

2. Is there a standard "bill of sale" I can use for the purchase? EAA or
AOPA? - I'm a member of both.

Cheers

I suspect I would use the FAA standard Bill of Sale. You will need it when
you apply to the FAA to register the aircraft. You will need something to
show that you purchased a kit to license a kitplane with the FAA. We just
went through that here with a gentleman in the chapter who built a kit. The
kit company was going to send him the "bill of sale" but went bellyup before
doing so. Not only did he not get a bill of sale, but he didn't get all of
the kit either. When it was finally finished and ready to fly, the FAA
wouldn't issue him a Certificate of Registration, without which they
wouldn't issue a Certificate of Airworthiness, without which they wouldn't
let him fly the durn thing!
