Chet,
Why don't you tell us your problem. Many of us have
found ways to deal with theFederallies, over the years.
They can make a firm stand on things, but knowledge
of how other FSDO's have delt with similar issues can
sometimes win
them over.

Your heart's in the right place, JJ, but registration
issues per se aren't typically dealt with by FSDO offices.
They're handled through OKC. The stickiest wicket I
can think of would be buying a glider without clear
title or - in the case of a used foreign import - without
a 'deregistration' statement from the country of export...
and then finding out you don't own the glider, after
all. (The FAA website has a plethora of information
on proper procedures. In some cases where these aren't
followed, yup/youbetcha, you'd need a lawyer!)
