I am more than happy with your service and support. We will gladly recommend you to others as well. Please give our compliments to your workshop team for the excellent job. Only 1.3kg of additional weight is an excellent result! The smooth surface is even better than the factory surface 25 years ago. In my opinion, the aircraft is painfully beautiful now...
