C of A
The C of A, before it ever leaves, or any registration things happen is INCREDIBLY important. There were a bunch of Allouettes brought into this country and not all of them had the C of A with them. They all got N numbers, things went fine for years, then the FAA grounded all of them, until the C of A could be resolved. Some ended up with standard AW cert, some ended up with Experimental Exhibition cert. In today's FAA, they'd ground you, and never look back.
BTW, there are some aircraft coming for auction, they are CLT, and a bit faster than a Defiant. They climb pretty good, too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CDLb...eature=related The Auction http://www.go-dove.com/event-15794/T...-Military-Jets No FOD on the rear prop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsYxF...eature=related They get off the ground in 1630 feet, so naturally I was interested.

Well, sadly, I'm finding nobody wants to finance a Rutan Defiant...if it were a Vans or Lancair experimental, easy, but not a Defiant. I'm bummed. Just too apprehensive to invest in a 337 again, mainly due to the possibility that I would never be able to sell her again if I wanted/needed. It amazes me that such a great plane has come to cause such trepidation...Thanks to most who posted constructive responses.
