German export c of a are not worth the paper they are written on- 25 years ago a guy from the LBA came to inspect a Bergfalke I was importing and Scheibe only had 2 ADs at the time and one was on release attachment for cracks and when we got it it had big cracks. A guy came from Brunsweig office of LBA who had hardly seen a glider before and wrote out the export c of a at huge expense. After a second such incident I won the battle with GFA and now it is no longer needed to come into Aust
