finally got an email correspondence from the FAA.
i initially sent paperwork in january with all the required documentation and supporting documents showing the transfer of ownership and how it got into my possession. they responded in April, 3 months later saying their records showed it as scrapped/destroyed/not complete. i then responded with pictures and original serial numbers matching the kit bill of sale from rotorway showing this machine was never completed and infact has never flown. 4 months later to now i still havnt received any update from the FAA.
thats when i finally realized they have an Email for the registration branch which they got back to me in 2 days with an update of my process.
just sharing my experience with everyone. i have a worst case scenario where the previous owners passed away and there is no proper bill of sale path from the previous registered owner. and the previous registered owner isnt even listed as the builder! despite the machine never being finished!
anyone else out there in this headache. have patience...
