I can't comment directly on Rare Aircraft except to say that the Waco type certificates are in the public domain. Any person who acquires all of the drawings and data can produce and present the result to the FAA for an airworthiness certificate.I hope the feds go look at rareaircrafts Taperwing waco certified aircraft oh that's right they have a few original parts in them
Please pardon my ignorance, but I don't understand what this means. Could you please clarify? Thanks - -The FAA pulled Dan's tickets
My understanding is that they revoked his A&P and IA.
The Fighter pilot's prayer. "Please God don't let me F**k up!"yes, it would like to know exactly so i don't do something dumb too and get in trouble.... which rules they choose to enforce and which they ignore....
The airplane in question was built off a data plate, the rest of the airplane was left with the guy Dan bought the paperwork from. Makes no sense to me but that is what I am told by the guy who has the most to lose, the owner of the aircraft

strange,
i know of others like that....
someone want's a brand new one, and sells the old but flyable airframe & old pieces.....
It has always been my understanding that you couldn't buy the logs & D plate off a "destroyed" aircraft. If the aircraft is written off as a total & de-registered. The Feds won't allow you to bring it back to life once destroyed. Buyer beware...
Big difference between salvaging a wreck and selling the data plate/logbooks to put on an aircraft that has none. This is what the Feds were cracking down on.
So, back to the original point of uncertified fabric or processes. How many stamps have to be visible to determine the entire stc was followed? Doesn't the IA's signed statement that the aircraft was covered iaw the stc indicate that certified materials were used if required by the stc? Can't see the tapes stamps. They are buried. Rib stitch materials certified? . Trust but verify? When is good enough good enough?

I believe in the case of Waco, when they shut down their business they voluntarily turned the certificates to the public domain.When, and how, do Type Certificates get into the public domain?
