The public federal record on N82RV, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "First notice for registration renewal". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built, dated April 1, 1999, consistent with the 1999 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 80308 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N82RV according to the deregistered file. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N82RV. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
