The EAA did have a checklist back in '99. Ken is right!
These sales can always be opened up, but I till think it is
wise to take these precautions anyway.

Look up - "suggested checklist for sale of a homebuilt"
under Google Groups for some good background.
This will give you a good start. I would also insist that
the new owner must do an immediate annual inspection.
This may require some timing, but there are ways.
