| Subject: | Pre buy inpection questions. |
I'm looking at a Piet for sale that has a corvair motor and was apparently built
per the manual. It has no 5th bearing and a Harley Davidson carb.
I suppose the right thing to do is tear it back down and verify proper modifications,
block, crank numbers, as well a getting a 5th bearing for it.
Assume nothing, right?
Kind of related question:
The aircraft is mostly finished, covered painted, etc. It looks like a good quality
build, from what I can see in the inspection panels and whatnot. Landing
gear is metal type, with cross springs, good looking welds, supposedly from a
certified guy.
However, there is no build log, and very few pictures, like 6 maybe. No receipts,
and except for a copy of the plans and misc notes, drawings, no paperwork.
It's never been finished, no N number etc.
How would that work with an inspection?
How would an EAA tech advisor. Or whomever the guy is that gives you the certificate,
sign that off?
I'm have my A&P so even though I'm not the original builder I could work on it.
Thoughts?
Thanks
