Dear Sir,

I read your advertisement regarding the sale of the HB-SPQ.
I would like to know which Type of Airworthiness Certificate the nipper has:
ARC or Permit to Fly ?
In case of getting a new arc in your country, would it be possible
to carry out the planned repairs in "your" Maintenance-shop with the parts
you mentioned and do you know approximately the costs?
Wound you be so kind as to send pictures of the interior and spare parts, etc..

Kind Regards,

René Schweitzer. r.m.schw@gmail.com
