Ed, do you mean a homebuilt? I think it's next to impossible, but I may
be wrong. Contact Joe Norris at EAA for clarification.

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?
