These requirements, defined in an exemption to CAR 549.01, do require that the aircraft have flown 100 hours. http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/applications/exemptions/docs/en/1627.htm I have never read of a similar requirement for Canadian built aircraft being imported to the US. -- Kevin Horton RV-8 (Flying Again!)
