I was hoping JJ would post up about his fire damage repairs.

Right now at the HP shop we're doing a skunky project involving high-temperature epoxy systems. As part of it, we did some test on more pedestrian epoxies of the sort typically used in gliders. They appear to demonstrate that you can get them well above Tg and they'll still recover full strength when they cool down. Of course, how far above Tg you can safely get is hard to quantify.

...They are shocked that it has not been destroyed...

A corporate entity based in a former Soviet republic is surprised that airworthiness authorities did not seize and destroy the personal property of a private citizen?

Shocked, I tell you, Shocked!

Slovenia has never been a Soviet Republic. Check your history.

Life in the former Yugoslavia wasn't all that different from life in
Soviet-era Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. At least that's
my impression from visiting/travelling through those countries during
1973-1991.

Dealing with border police and banks was much the same in all of them, so
I'd expect aircraft construction and regulation to have been pretty much
in line with Russian practise before 1991, with only gradual changes
until they joined the EU and came under EASA.
