Well more in the "buyer beware" learning experience; I got word from
some other people. Looks like the plane I "bought" really didn't
belong to either of the people selling it. Lukasz Barowicz by all
accounts has never owned any aircraft and he doesn't seem to know what
the N-number was on the plane he was allegedly selling. It certainly
wasn't built by him, and there is only one BG-12BD in FAA records in
NY. (Also not built by its present owner.)
