Re: Air conditioner failures
The new A/C panel did not resolve the issue, and we did measure 28V from the Aux alternator. Next will investigate the alternator excitation batteries. The A/C does work when on shore power.

Re: Crack on the leading edge
These do look like paint coat cracks to me also. My only qualification for this observation is owning several older sailplanes, some of which did exhibit paint cracking like this and were eventually refinished to remain airworthy. While the paint cracks are not structural, they can, if left unchecke...

If i recall, this requires at least a ferry flight permit to cover the entry into the USA followed by a change of registration. Including new decals, logbook entry and inspection ...
