Grob 102 Astir IIIB. Five and a possible sixth AD that I have found and read. The wing spigots are not done. Helmut Lindner advised the parts are still available, they only insist that we buy them from their sole North American representative. I won't go into the dialog that followed on that. I'll only say that I'm grateful that we've got two IAs here in Tennessee who do composites and I plan on doing even more business with them in the coming months.

Even if the FAA disagrees with our best estimate of actual flight time it would only add the "extension of life" inspection which for this aircraft at 3000 hours would already be covered in part by the spigot replacement or inspections we've already got to do.

The FSDO is reviewing what I've got so far and hopefully we'll get an answer this week.

Thanks for the advice guys I appreciate the help.
