In the UK gliders first registered in the UK before
September 2003 are still controlled by the British
Gliding Association. Any new glider or glider imported
into the UK after September 2003 has to have a Civil
Aviation Authority (nickname Campaign Against Aviation)
registration and C of A, and is, or will be, under
the ultimate control of EASA (European Aviation Safety
Agency).

I therefore believe that we will eventually have the
same problem. There are a number of types of glider
whose makers are no longer trading or supporting their
gliders. I don't know the exact position of Centrair.
Perhaps a French person could explain.

Right, can I just check... this trouble about hours
is because of the FAA, so in Britain are there any
problems? Or is it just that under the FAA?

So, if the Centrair is out of business who, and how
can extend the life
of the Pegasus to satisfy the FAA? Now, if the glider
has more than
3000 hours can it be flown in Experimental Cat.? I
was just looking at
possibility of buying one here, in the US....but it
may not be worth
buying one nowadays?
