The public federal record on N126RE, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated July 1, 2026, consistent with the 2026 manufacture year. [1]

N126RE was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Rotec Engineering Inc ROTEC RALLY 3 (serial 25185, cancelled May 9, 2011). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N126RE. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
