New VAF member, only one post, etc. etc. Looks troll-like to me as well.

This whole thread is baloney. Builder (manufacturer) has no authority over airworthiness status.

No not a troll at all and to be honest with you somethings getting a little bit of water on it specially freshwater doesn’t really cause any more corrosion on it than normal Humidity like we have here in Florida 24 hours a day seven days a week that contacts the inside of every Non painted surface of every plane and it’s a nice plane doikg a few updates to it the gps was just old air maps 2000 junk and the paint over all great flying aircraft great performance and low fuel burn and great work from the bulder kind of strange it looks like he was halfway through scuffing it to have it painted maybe you can enlighten me on what was going on there Also I’d like to know what kind of fuel pickups he had installed on it any any buld logs woud be helpful

Default Question

It appears the builder has indicated that they do not want anything to do with a structure that his been salvaged. Why are you asking him for builder logs and such?

Maybe he'll assist you if you comply with his 'AD'.

So, the builder thinks the aircraft was permanently and irrecoverably ruined and cannot be made airworthy. The insurance company totaled it and re-sold to recover some of their loss, removing it from the ownership (and therefore control) of the builder. The new owner apparently disagrees with the builder's assessment and has it flying again.

I guess the lesson here is, if you want to make sure your airplane never flies again, you'll probably need to wreck it yourself. You may give up your insurance settlement in the process... just how strongly do you feel about it?

Wow, what an unreadable mess of text; please, next time try some punctuation, sentence structure, paragraphs and whatnot.

I don’t mean to be snarky, but when I try to read a mess like that the actual message is lost and all I can see is the English language being massacred...

Default Corrosion

Between the improper punctuation and people
Not separating the skins and spars after a
heavy rain or splashing thru a muddy runway.

Default Interesting point

I wonder if builder could have removed the data plate and kept it. The insurance company could still sell the structure and avionics but the traceability back to builder would be difficult without that data plate. Would that limit liability exposure?
