Hi Ben !
There was a list on eBay of his prior purchases - the Rebel buyer has
also bought <2> McCulloch 2-stroke drone engines recently ! Likely
the same place Eddie found that he rode a Honda Gold Wing ...
The 51% is so much of an issue here - it is legal to hire someone
to build your complete kit, as long as you supervise the construction !
But in this case, yes, he'd need a LOT of support from the original
builder.
And you are correct - he <could> open up the wings, the fuel tanks,
the fuselage (remember the double floor ..), the elevators, stab,
rudder, and ailerons ..... and get them inspected ..... a LOT of work,
and he'd end up with a lot of oversized holes .... Really not worth
the effort !!
AFAIK, nobody has successfully done that ! A few have tried ....

Bob, I don't get the "McCullogh 2 stroke drone engine" note. What am I
missing there?
As for inspection, in theory he'd even have some serious troubles proving
51% without the seller's involvement. I guess its been done, but probably
with some heaving fudging of who really did what. Then again, could he
open up the wings and aim for full Canadian inspections?

Sure ! The same reason Experimentals sell much cheaper
in the US than in Canada ..... multiple thorough Government
inspections.
To be registered as an Amateur-Built in Canada, all sub-assemblies
must be inspected by Government Representatives BEFORE CLOSING,
and this usually involves 3 inspections - sometimes more ...
Since that Rebel was completed, closed up, and on the gear,
it cannot be inspected, and cannot be registered ! At least one
person has already tried this - he has a very expensive lawn ornament !!
The MDRA is the usual inspection agency, but for 'flying' imports, or
if they choose to, the inspection is done by Transport Canada.

Could you explain why there is no way he can license that
setup in Canada?
