Default 109B import from Germany - FAA hassle?

We had a G109B in our club as a 5 year lease-back during the
Reagan tax credit era. I liked it a lot, but found it incredible that an
aircraft like this (which was a lot more complicated than a C-150)
would only require a glider license to fly it...

I hear ya, Brother! I don't think I'd trust any C-150 or C-140 (tail
dragger) pilot to fly a Stemme with simply a glider license. Still, as I
get older and don't want to fly power planes any more, it's good that I
don't need a physical to fly the Stemme. I'll know when it's time to
quit or my wife will let me know...
