Yes,
I got his signature on a bill of sale, and had all the paperwork
in order, but unfortunately, the burden is on the purchaser to file
the paperwork.
When I realized that I was still the registered owner, I contacted the
FAA, of course they want a copy of the bill of sale, which I can no
longer locate (my copy).
So it sits in the FAA database. This is another reason I'm interested
in getting a hold of the owner, if he doesn't want to sell, perhaps he
can register it. There may be difficulty because he isn't a US
citizen (he is Russian).
I contacted the EAA chapter for the Washington State Tri-Cities
area which is where he was living, in hopes that a technical counselor
or other member there has seen the airplane and could put me in touch
with him.
