Purchase and Completion of a Home-built Aircraft
by Dan
ANSWER: Yes, you can purchase a partially built aircraft and complete it yourself and apply for an experimental amateur built airworthiness certificate. Just a couple of things to note: 1) Make sure the aircraft qualifies (51% rule) as an amateur built aircraft, and 2) that you receive construction records to include build photographs from the seller. With these records, you can continue on with the build documentation to show the FAA at the final inspection. Good build records makes it easier for the FAA to make an airworthiness determination.
