I know of a guy how recently passed away that had 3 airplanes. One is a pipe j3 cub. The catch is the guy never had a license to fly and did not register the planes. He flew them from his house mostly.

I know he owned the cub for over 20 years as he tried to trade it for a bass boat my dad had back then. As far as I know the plane does not have any logs or maintenance records. I think the guy just worked on it himself.


I think the family will sell the planes for very little especially when they find out they are not legal to fly as is.

How would you go about getting them legal to fly?

Thanks,
