I recently found a Super Cub project that a guy is busy with and want to sell. I'm quite interested in the project but the only problem with it is the fact that the data plate has gone missing throughout the years. The aircraft is an original Piper L21. It doesn't have a engine nor prop. As I have it, the current owner also bought it without these.
Now, the question is, since its going to be registered as a experimental(if it can be registered), is it possible to register the aircraft as a Piper L21(Warbird/Ex-Military category), without a data plate and S/N recognition or can it only be registered, as the current owner suggest, as a "Super Cub Replica" and get a new S/N for her?
For me, value wise in the future, is it better to own a Experimental genuine Super Cub rather than a Cub replica although it is a genuine Super Cub.
Can this be done, and if so, how can I manage to get a new Piper Data plate with S/N?
Kind regards
