Though I'm quite a ways out from needing to register, I figure it's best to have my ducks in a row in advance. I purchased a Classic IV kit from a local gentleman who had done next to nothing with it for the past 10 years. He purchased is from the original owner who only installed part of the flight controls.

I have a bill of sale from the gentleman I bought the kit from, but recently found out that I should have a full chain of ownership for the kit. Looking as though that might be difficult to impossible to obtain a copy of the bill of sale between 1st/2nd owners, does anyone know my options? Been doing some digging and it has me slightly worried.

I plan to honestly disassemble anything that was done to the kit thus far and redo it with new hardware, basically starting from page 1 of the build manual. I have the original packing slips and no builders logs from what the 1st owner did.

Thanks for the help.
