The public federal record on N727RV, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N727RV was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Voeller SMITH MINI PLANE (serial 1, cancelled October 31, 2013). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
