I am located in the US. Does anyone out there have any
experience with purchasing and importing a used sailplane
from the UK or Europe, into the US. If so, and you would
be willing to share your experiences, please contact me at
Thanks Ken

Sounds like a bad idea right now with the exchange the way it is.

Actually it isn't too bad when you are purchasing a $15k sailplane

Type the words
- used glider USA import
into a search engine (set it to search the groups), and you'll get a
lot of information.

Mr."Slick" if you don't have anything interesting to say please keep
your stupid comments to yourself. "Juggle5" is not asking about
exchange rate, or is it good or bad idea.
Please note that the man is asking for GOOD INFORMATION from people
who have experience and who can write more then one sentence.
This man IS NOT asking for stupid comments from people who know
nothing, who waist averybody's time.
Next time think of something interesting, write about half page of
text, so we all can enjoy reading.

Been there, done that as they say. It's easy to do. If the glider is in
a trailer, have it shipped via car carrier (Roll-on Roll-off, also known
as a RO-RO), not a container ship.
This has been discussed at length in this newsgroup.Use Google to search
the newsgroup archives and you will get a ton of info.
