This is good news. However, the hardest part for most will be getting
buy in from th Mfg if you have no records of aerobatic flight.

Another no-go will be if you cannot conform the wing. *In
certification speak, you must have the original structure and/or
repairs to the letter of the MM and accurate records to substantiate
said conformance.

If you are like the majority and have repairs anywhere in the wing
with non factory rivets, you are not in conformance. *So many have not
noticed that the Blanik rivets have a different geometry/strength
compared to the Std US versions (NASM20426/NAS1097 ect). *If the holes
are not oversize, you might replace them with the correct hardware.
You are allowed to use substitute sheet metal and and fittings as
provided for in the O/H manual.

However, major repairs will probably not be economical to redo.

I also noticed that there's a 2500hr life limit on dual flying. Our
L13
spent most of its time flying with a student and instructor on board;
it may already be close to that limit. I'm not positive we could even
figure it out anymore.
