I was approached and asked to "repair" an ineligible airplane by installing
a used airworthy fuselage, wings, elevator, engine, instruments, etc etc.
Essentially this would be taking an airplane that is not eligible as an LSA
and changing the serial number plate with one that was and annotating the
log as to the "repair".


Paul, I don't think I'd do that. Imagine a future buyer having an accident, and
a lawyer paging through the aircraft records. It would look very much like you
were trying to hide damage history. I seem to recall some aircraft-parts
companies got in some serious trouble this way, swapping data plates.
