Never has been sold and is trash. It is full of fertilizer with silt I also have issue an AD/SB on this aircraft due to the total loss and damage it incurred.

The FAA has their AD and I do myself. There is NO regulation that states I can not put out an AD on my product. Research this and let me know if I'm wrong. It is a my AD>!

You can create whatever term you want, but it has no legal standing or enforceability. "AD" is a term for a specific FAA document, not something you just make up. (There's no regulation that says I cannot declare myself King, but it doesn't mean I am, or that anybody has to bow to me.)

But I suspect that by adding the aircraft's N-number here to the forum (and thereby making it searchable online), you have made it easier for people to find out the full history of the airplane if they want to -- which is your intent, I believe. So, mission accomplished!

But they might, you never know.

Happy news the plane is back in the air and flying great

I have not been following this closely, but would love to hear what you did to restore this aircraft. Wish you nothing but good luck and hope you enjoy the plane.

(Also completely understand the concern the original builder has and hopefully you can as well.)

IFR100, I'm pretty sure this would NOT make the original builder happy, as he has repeatedly stated that it should never be considered airworthy again.

I am curious what you did to it, so as to negate corrosion issues, doubly so because you are in Florida.

I have a feeling that his post was a bit of a troll since it was posted here with very little info. With that said, sharing how you inspect, address, and replace any serious corrosion would be interesting to see. I'm holding all judgement till I see what was done. I think the original builder has done all he can to distance himself from from this salvaged airframe to limit his liability, and don't blame him.
