This, and other threads, are "no win" in my book.

My feeling, the less you deal with the government, the better.
I would trust on the "local guy" (a&p in this case) plus whatever you can show upfront. It is HIS neck that gets chopped if the upper group disagree after he signs off.
Maybe direct him/her to a relevant thread on here with linked FAA documents (or other documents for other locations).
I agree, this could have been easy, typical government (in the US) makes it harder.

Apologies to any local guys here. No, I am not looking to hang any of you, so, chill.......

I think your A&P should be the first place you start. But, remember, it is YOUR glider that is being modified, not the A&P's. Issues may arise when it's time to sell your glider and the prospective buyer's A&P reviews your logbook and finds discrepancies.

It is unfortunate that there are trolls out there that have nothing informative to say, but only throw around childish insults (which only reflects on them).
