Yes, several that I know of.....you can be sued if you built it, maintained, overhauled it, designed it. Yes, you can even be sued if you part it out. Wan't to minimize being sued?

Question, has anyone to your knowledge actually been involved in a lawsuit of this nature?

Subject: [LML] Any liability lawsuits?

I am aware that when we build our own experimental aircraft, we become the manufacturer.  This subjects us to a product liability exposure for fifteen years after the first date of sale.

I have a beautiful 360 with all the bells and whistles with a strong engine 330 hrs SMOH and prop 12 hrs SMOH and I am considering parting it out or selling the whole bird.  Any ideas?  I need to be convinced that there is no risk in selling the bird as a complete airframe.
 
Doug Bartells, do you have an answer for this question?
