kinda sad. Why not part it out? (looks like a lot was, but I still see some good parts)
Seems like the lawyers did a good job of covering their own butts.

i would imagine liability of being the builder/manufacturer and selling it to the next guy, owner/builder is high net worth individual who apparently conferred with numerous attorneys/insurers to determine there was no way to avoid the potential liability down the road, makes you think

Do you know that's why it was scrapped? What if it was badly damaged for one reason or another and the owner elected not to repair it.

There are so many things wrong to lead to this end.

John Denver crash - all previous owners and the builder sued.
Russians shoot down Korean 747 - Boeing sued.
Student pilot (solo cross-country) attempts to fly thru a fog bank - CFI sued.
To the best of my knowledge the defendants 'won' in all these cases. But only after spending substantial amounts of money on legal fees. Boeing claims to have spent $1 million. So really, even though they won, they lost.
I know several well off pilots who have said that they thought that they would enjoy being a cfi. Their personal lawyers told them no.
