Be really, really careful here. I understand that owner maintenance
airplanes can NEVER be accepted as airworthy in the US by the FAA, and even
planes that have been maintained by certified mechanics have huge paperwork
issues. I've got two buddies who did import their planes (a PA-12 and a
Luscombe) from Canada, and found that the Canadians are not required to keep
their paperwork records for more than a year, so each of their planes sat at
their US mechanic's shops for over a year while everything was researched
and refiled to comply with our regs. Every modification, all AD's,
everything had to be done over again.

That makes sense. Question: how is it different to bring a Coupe
re-imported back from Canada to legal airworthiness in the U.S. compared to
doing the same to a no-paperwork project plane?
