Default Pegasus Life span in USA

I wonder...Could we run up the hours in USA to 3000...then sell the glider
to somebody in Europe?

What's the going price in Europe for a nice Pegasus?

legally. Ours is now past 5000 hours.

Yup, still limited, and with the FAA shutdown you can't even check on

the
current status.

As I understand it, there is a dispute between the Centrair and the FAA
about something, and Centrair just wants to wash their hands of anything
going on in the USA.

I have a friend with a 101a that I just love to fly. Fortunately it's

far
from the 3000 hr. limit.
