cost of and problems of getting a glider out of Canada?

If you're an AOPA member, they may be able to help/answer questions as well.

Much easier going from Canada to the US.

Sort out with your state DMV what hoops you have to jump through to license

the trailer. If too onerous, a Montana or Delaware plate may be a better
deal.

The provinces will issue a temporary plate without fuss.

Run the glider repair history by your local glider IA and/or FSDO.

Going into Canada it took two months to get my 20 licensed. The fellow who

took it back to the US had it flying in less than two weeks.

Canadian deregistration requires return of the Certificate of Registration
to
the regional Transport Canada office along with a statement that the
registration letters have been removed (think vinyl) and that the mode S
ICAO
id has been removed from the transponder (if you have a mode S installed).


Liens are registered in each province. The paranoid would want to check
several provinces.

Oh yes, bring the glider over the border yourself "for your own use"

If the seller takes it across, he MUST set up ahead of time with a broker
or
risk a $10,000 fine as a buddy found out the hard way.

Cash over $10,000 must be declared leaving the US and entering Canada.

Have your insurance set up before you hook up the trailer.
