How to buy a US registered glider

Matt - make sure you get logbooks going back to day 1 of the glider with
hours, and maintenance.

Congratulations,

MG

I am looking for some advice on the forms and process I need to go
through, to buy a glider registered in the US. From what I can tell,
I need a Bill of Sale (form 8050-2) and an Aircraft Registration
Application (form 8050-1). It appears that the latter form is only
available from the local FSDO (San Jose in my case). Then I need to
transfer title of the glider trailer at the DMV by having the previous
owner sign over the pink slip.

What am I missing, and what have I gotten wrong?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Wrong.
Seller sends the FAA the old REGISTRATION Certificate, not the
Airworthiness Certificate!
Buyer submits an application for new registration with a bill of sale
(and fee) to the FAA.
Do not remove the Airworthiness Certificate from the aircraft!
Please consult with your FAA FSDO or see faa.gov for the correct
process.

Also had mine "new registration"returned from faa " legal dept" for not Printing "under" my signature not below. In other words they wanted me to print then sign right on top or over my name! YRMV.

Me too. they don't provide a space for printing the name. When they sent it back they didn't say what was wrong. I called and got a nasty response implying I was an idiot. Thanks for sharing, I feel less stupid now.

I had a similar experience. My registration was returned simply because
I did not print my name below, not underneath, my signature. My name
was printed elsewhere on the registration form but, not wanting to ****
on the Devil's boots, I just printed my name below my signature and
returned the form. It was accepted.

But don't you feel "safer" now knowing that our government is fighting
terrorism by making you jump through their hoops?

Same thing happened to me in 2012.

I called and asked our friends at the FAA what percentage of those forms are returned because they are filled out wrong. The nice lady said about 3/4 of them. I said "Doesn't that tell you something?"
