If you find that you ACTUALLY HAVE a major problem with this airplane because of what you claim to have uncovered after purchase, I would see a friendly lawyer (if there is such a thing) and ask him what he would charge to write a SINGLE letter to the owner with copies to the AP and the IA who signed it off. The letter should state your intentions. [1] You want a 100% refund or all three will end up in court.
