To all,
First, thanks for your responses, they are helpful.
I actually work for the FAA myself as an Aerospace Engineer in Aircraft Certification (where Type Certificates, Supplemental Type Certificates, AD's are processed - but not repairs and 337 which FSDO's do). I did get the FAA paperwork two weeks ago on this airplane. There is no 337 form on file for the wing repairs (there were modifications invloved such as a double row of rivets along the rib instead of single row, etc.) There is also no 337 for the STC'd droop wingtips and for the flap gap seals. All this is by log book entry only. As a condition of sale, I would stipulate that the owner hire an A&P (hies brother is one) to write the 337's (of course that A&P assumes responsibility). Otherwise, no sale.
What are your thoughts? Am I being reasonable, or too paranoid?
Steve
