Is that 6,000 hours from the date of the recent factory rebuild or 6,000 total time from when they were first manufactured? I've been seriously considering getting back into an L-13 in the future. The AD&C mod has been accepted in Canada for quite a while but as far as I could tell it only allowed 5,000 hours total time from date of initial manufacture so the cost would have been hard to sustain unless I could have found an L-13 with under 2,000 hours total time. The factory rebuild and mod seems much more promising, so long as I can find a decent L-13 when the time comes.

As long as I have a better flying year in 2019 I should be looking into doing the 3,000 hour inspection on my ASW-15B fairly soon.
