I'm hoping for the least hassle....ie. program letters and all that.

Thanks,

I suggest downloading a copy of FAA Order 8130.2F with Chg3.

Read Chapter 4, Section 1, Section 6, and Section 8. Applicability:
Group I and ALL (see page 119). Other sections may apply, certain
placards required. Search the term 'program letter'. Good document
to understand if you race/fly experimental gliders in the US.

Racing, definitely.
