Based on what I've read on this thread, my two bits on this a
I've seen the photos of that glider on the trailer after the fire. It was nearly black due to soot covering the entire top surfaces. The bubble canopy was black and draped over the seats and instrument combing. I did a NTSB search on the aircraft, and the incident was never reported. As for the listing serial number; I would expect that the whole number could have been entered into the ad. And if you noticed in the ad, the TC was listed as "Experimental" and not LSA as per the FAA records. From my understanding, who ever signs the inspection of the annual and deems it airworthy is Legally Liable and if the plane folds and deaths are a result, that person will end up in prison for involuntary manslaughter charges. I know of such a case and the person was sentenced. So, it's buyer beware and my god have mercy on the AP that inspects it and signs it off as airworthy. One last comment.. Does anyone here have any reservations on buying this plane knowing it's history? Would you chance flying it? Be honest! |
