That looks safe to fly as an LSA to me, NON-FAA lawyer that I am. If it had been the airworthiness certificate, then I'd say you were stewed. But, since there is a long history showing its CD status and the FAA records and airworthiness certificate say CD, I'd consider that conclusive. This won't be permanently settled till one or several cases of the insurance company trying to wriggle out of paying go through the court case. I find it hard to think a jury would disallow an insurance policy based on what you've listed. It clearly looks like a clerical error to me with lots of justification for thinking so. It takes a LOT more than writing a letter on a bill of sale and a registration form to change the model of a Coupe. There's NO record of all that list of things being done, based on what you've written. Be clearly informed, I am NOT any kind of lawyer or expert on this. JMHO. Ed
