My suggestion would be to buy the glider through an agent in the European country where you intend to fly, and let them deal with the paperwork.

Thanks, Bob K.

JS1 can be registered to EU? According to JS webpage: "Jonker Sailplanes is currently working with the SACAA to progress towards EASA Type Validation (a validation of the SACAA Type Certification, so avoiding unnecessarily duplication of the certification ground and flight testing). With EASA Type Validation it is expected that all signatories to the EASA-FAA bilateral will accept the Type Certification, including the USA and Australia."

Now this text has been there, unaltered, for at least 5 years now.

The EU agent/partner, M&D, announces that on their behalf everything is ready for cert. at the end of 2015, a year ago.

This has to be one of the longest certification processes in aviation history.
