See you on the grid,

I bought a new to me sailplane and it holds an experimental "Exhibition" airworthiness certificate the limitation were written in 1979 nothing like limitations written today (8130.2 G) and I had a hard time letting go. No where in my Limitations did it say I needed a Program Letter. I knew when I called my PMI at the local FSDO he was going to make me have new limitations written up and I was right. I tried to get around this by just asking about who I should send my program letter to and a slight mention that I just bought this sailplane and now I am caught up in the dark world of the Federal Aviation Administration. I hope I will not have to educate my local FAA Dark Lord about sailplanes, and I pray to God that I have every thing back in the cockpit by the time the first Cu pops, I also have a funny feeling I will get a new airworthiness certificate for "Air Racing" instead of "Exhibition", I could have just flown all year and pleaded ignorance...my sailplane would not have known the difference...my insurance man probably would not have caught this...to late now.... to be continued...I am sure I am doing the right thing.....ignorance, what is wrong with that?
