Not again.................... Maybe the answer is to chill. Amateur legal interpretations (which is what this appears to be) are just noise on the net.
But stating that somebody is deliberately making misrepresentations.....Somebody might call that SLANDER. That is my professional legal opinion. So, perhaps for us to be a bit more circumspect in publicly slamming personal reputations would be a better approach. After all, this plane probably is NOT a model "D" so it probably IS a model "C." That is likely why the data plate says "C". There is essentially no other option. If he bills it as a "D" model, some folks will gripe. If he bills it as a "C" model, some folks will gripe. It seems that by the standard used below, he cannot be honest, no matter what he says. Maybe some Prozak would help. We really seem to be getting obsessed with this amateur lawyering over the D / C / LSA blither. If you've been Coupes around long enough, you know that it was once popular to gripe that folks were dishonestly selling so-called "D" models that were really "C" models because the airworthiness certificates said they were '"C" not "D." Now the very same planes are in the reverse situation. So, now what, coach? It's gotta be one or the otherrrrrr! "First you say you do, and then you don't. Then you say you will, and then you won't. You're undecided now, so whada we gonna doooooooooooo?"

Down in the ad he states it is not a LSA model, but knowing from experience that some folks don't read the entire ad they just look at the headline, it is possible for it to be sold as a C. I have sent him 2 messages suggesting he change the headline to say it is what it is. His reply has been that the data plate says it is a Model C. My interpretation is that he is purposely misadvertising the plane. Lee
