    Default title search question

    I was wondering how many use the services of title search and insurance companies when buying kitfoxes. Seems a lot of them are being sold quite fast. almost seems too fast to wait on title searches etc. If you do use them how much are you paying and how quickly do you get the results? Any specific companies recommended ? THanks Mark

    Years ago, I bought an Ercoupe. I used AOPA's title search service. It was quick and reasonably priced. The practical reason to do a title search is to ensure that there is not a lien on the title that the seller does not know about (or doesn't want to reveal).

    You can do a search yourself on the FAA web site. It's just a matter of ordering the documents. If they are any liens they should have the data.

    If you go to the FAA website, there is a box near the top on the right hand side where you can type in an N number to look at the plane's registration. Type in the N # and go to that page. In the third box down, titled Airworthyness, you will see a link in the lower left corner. If you click on that link, you will go to where you can order the paperwork for the plane. Either in a CD or paper form. I'll try to post a random aircraft page here so you can see what to look for. Jim Chuk
