You shoud understand that there are now a number of gliders that would be condsidered ready to fly from a mecanical point of view however in a post Haddon-cave enviroment the paperwork culture is very cautious and parts certification issues are a problem as the military has to get to grips with the way the gilder manufactures release servicable parts to service under EASA.

it is rather a pitty that the gliders are not on the civil register (as are the Grob Tutors,) f they were the whole thing would fall under EASA 145 oversight and not have the complication of a foot in both certification camps when it comes to parts supply.

This is one of the few times I have ever seen when EASA oversight would remove complication.
