Paul, the answer is yes, it does, so long as your Twin Lark (serial number) was sold to you with an original (or subsequent) POH that has no lifetime limitation. Speak to your local FSDO if you want independent confirmation.

Sandhill Soaring Club has a Twin Lark for sale, which does not have a lifetime limitation. The aircraft was flying and them mothballed. We learned of the bulletin less than 6 months ago and did our homework on the matter. If you're interested in buying a ship that can be easily returned to service, please email me directly. Thanks.

Hello,

My father recently passed away and owned a 40 year old Lark Two Place Sailplane Model 1S28B2. It is in desperate need of repair and also the lifetime limitation has expired and cannot be flown. It has been tied down for many years. I believe the repairs will cost at least $12,000-14,000. Does anyone know the refurbished value of the plane? Trying to figure out what to do with it. Sounds like the out of use for life is now in place. I honestly don't know anything about this, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Birgit Byers


Hello Birgit,are you here in the USA?We have a flying Lark and would be intrested in a parts glider to ensure future flying.JD
