Looking at a couple of used gliders in my price range across the border in Canada. Does anybody have recent experience importing and re-registering a Canadian glider in the US? Logistics, cost, time, etc.
Thanks in advance

Take care, went to Toronto (from FL)to buy an ASW-15 some years ago. Owner told me it was pristine, never damaged, etc., etc., etc.. He never wanted me to review the logbook and when I did, I didn't really find any discrepancies that would throw up the red flags. Upon inspection of the ship, I noticed some very small pinholes in the gel coat on the leading edge of the vertical fin. The owner then explained that the aft fuselage from the trailing edge of the wings to the top of the vertical fin had been refinished by a local Corvette repair shop. No certified logbook entry by an AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineer) for the refinish. Ended my inspection. His mistake, I hold an A&P certificate and AME "R" (rotary wing)certificate from Canada. Just my opine.
