The agreement is not meant to be a binding contract, it's meant to show to a judge and/or jury that the person knew exactly what he/she was getting into, knew the aircraft was dangerous, was given the opportunity to and completed a full inspection, and accepted all responsibility for doing anything with it, among other things. Besides, if the owner is so worried about liability, there are always other options -- donate the aircraft to a charity, remove the engine or some other component and surrender the airworthiness certificate to force the new owner to ask for a new certificate (and in the process sign a form saying that he/she says it is airworthy), take an axe to it, sell it overseas in a country where frivolous lawsuits that ignore the concept of personal responsibility are laughed out of court and get the plaintiff whacked in the head on his way out, etc. Sell the a/c without the airworthiness certificate sounds like it might work, even if you do nothing to the aircraft. Heck, you could just disconnect the pitot/static line to render it 'unairworthy.' Do it with the guy watching. Bill of sale should read "not-airworthy homebuilt aircraft project." He, his wife, and all his kids sign - hey, it's a big, exciting day for the family, right? :-) Then, when you get served papers, you can send their lawyer a copy of the BOS - and a copy of your bank statement. |

Thanks for all of the input,there is a lot of good solid advice here.maybe
I'll just sell the airplane and hope the new owner is as safe as I have been for the past 8 years,or maybe just disassemble it and hope the grandkids take up our great sport. Thanks again Ray "Floyd R Cudd" wrote in message ... could someone please provide me with a copy of the standard release of liability when selling a homebuilt,I contacted EAA to no avail.or point me in the right direction to obtain one. Thanks Ray |
