I sent in e-mail to Pavel to get his take on the L-13 Grounding...
here was the response:

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your email.

Yes, we are in close touch with LET and at this moment the new
inspection
method is developed and all documents and details about the wing root
area
inspection were sent to EASA for the final approval. If everything
goes
smooth we expect that at the beginning of March more information will
be
released.

The new inspection will be based on eddy current waves and should
allow the
check of wing root area without opening the wing.

When I get more information, I will contact you.

Thank you.

Best regards

Pavel Rind

and for what I understand the L-13's are flying in the Czech
republic.....it's the rest of the world that is waiting for the official AD
resolution....
Gliders with a "known" history can be returned to service with factory
overhauls (as they do in the Czech republic) and with complete
records...those with sketchy records and dubious maintenance are the ones
that are causing the manufacture and CZ FAA the concerns......
and will be the cause of whatever additional inspections are necessary to
prove them airworthy..

You're kidding us right? (You seem to be overlooking just one
teeny,
tiny, small detail!!)

Perhaps he's from that 1 country that didn't seem to get the memo...
