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.

Hi, could you share the contact info on the two IAs? My email is . I am in need of one too. Thanks. D

Deming, Gary Davis is and the other one is Robert who is with "The Jet Guys" whom you can find on Facebook and is located in Covington, TN. I paid Robert to handle the condition inspection on my Concept 70 and have nothing but positive things to share about the experience. Gary is a no BS IA and CFI-G and is located near Eagleville, TN.

To be honest Grob is doing themselves no favors on their brand. I could but won't say more publicly at this point. What I will say is the SSA's comments on the NRPM for the wing spars was accurate, timely, and really precise with respect to the eventual issues. It's unfortunate because this is a totally decent sailplane but it's encumbered by bull**** from opportunists.
