A glider of wood and fabric, with a steel-tube fuselage frame on some versions.

The public federal record on N81410, 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.
Valid registration to Passeno Jeff P, an individual, certificate issued February 20, 2013, expires February 28, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial SH-8480 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N81410 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-181 (serial 28-8090210, cancelled January 17, 1980); Champion 7AC (serial 7AC-29, cancelled February 14, 1964). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
