I am aware that when we build our own experimental aircraft, we become the manufacturer.  This subjects us to a product liability exposure for fifteen years after the first date of sale.

I have a beautiful 360 with all the bells and whistles with a strong engine 330 hrs SMOH and prop 12 hrs SMOH and I am considering parting it out or selling the whole bird.  Any ideas?  I need to be convinced that there is no risk in selling the bird as a complete airframe.
 
Doug Bartells, do you have an answer for this question?
