Where is the SSA in all this? I thought they were to be the ones at
the tip of the spear with helping people out with problems like this,
but in my searching, I have seen no evidence of support. I must say,
I'm pretty disappointed in the lack of action on this. It seems like
it should be at the forefront of their attention. Hell, I don't even
know who "They" are anymore. I used to, but I lost track sometime
around the time all the money disappeared.

Have you bothered to look at this new group archives? If you had you would realize that the SSA has been actively involved. I find it troubling that you assume the SSA is doing nothing just because the French factory has not produced information which to FAA considers necessary to resolve the problem.

What is your suggestion to resolve the FAA's impasse with the factory? How can the SSA force the FAA to meet your needs? What can the SSA do that they haven't already done?

This SSA has been involved every since the factory started providing support for its' US owned product. The time limitation efforts have even been published in Soaring Magazine. Please don't be so critical of the SSA before you have done your research.
