I'm looking at an Avid Mk 4 located in AB near the Saskatchewan border. Would you just fly it home to Reno and register it at a FSDO near the border where presumably they've done it before? How much hassle is it? It's registered as a Canadian Homebuilt, not as an Ultralight.

This was post 582. Hmmmmmph. Good thing I'm not superstitious.
Never mind. I called my I/A.
1) Get a de registration from Canada
2) Stop for customs like usual. Bill of sale, canadian airworthiness stuff etc.
3)Fly it home
4)Get a condition inspection and proceed to step B
B) New N- number
1) Certificate of Airworthiness
2) US title
3) Have fun.

If that's the one I saw on barnstormers, that's is just 20 miles west of me.

I don't know if it's on Barnstormers. I saw it on

You wanna go take a look? I think the young man who owns it is an A&E apprentice but he talks so fast I missed most of it.

Probably doesn't apply to experimentals/homebuilts, but I've heard that importing a certificated airplane from Canada nt the US can be a real mightmare.
