Default European Delivery

Has anybody picked up their glider in Europe and flown it prior to
shipping?

I am curious if it can be done without any expensive registration or
tax in the country that it was manufactured in.

Hey... as long as it is there in the middle of the summer and ready to
fly... why not?

I presume from the context of the question that you are from the USA.
Perhaps the real question here is if you can get a foreign manufactured
aircraft registered in the US without it being seen by a US government
official. In the case of an experimental, I am pretty sure that is
impossible. I know one case of a gent who took delivery of a new
experimental glider is a different STATE with the idea of taking a domestic
flying vacation, yet was unable to get the FAA to register it until he
trailered it home and applied at his home FSBO.
