Here’s the scenario. The aircraft is being sold due to the builder having an unfortunate stroke. He had only taxi tested it and the FAA gave him the 25 mi radius to flight test in. If one were to purchase the aircraft, can the new owner fly off the 40 hours and sign the logbook as phase one completed? Would it need a complete re inspection due to new ownership? Can it be ferried out of the flight test area to a new location for flight testing?
Thanks for the input.
