The public federal record on N8482, 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 Weirsdale Glider Club LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 7, 2020, expires May 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for glider, dated December 19, 1969, consistent with the 1969 manufacture year. [1]

N8482 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Stinson SM-2AB (serial 1085, cancelled August 4, 1941). 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 N8482. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
