Avionics Or Maintenance in Guatemala?

[GroundPointNiner]

Maybe a long shot: Has anyone worked with an avionics shop, or any aircraft maintenance providers in Guatemala? Any lead at all would be helpful.

I recently acquired a RV-7A that was damaged beyond repair in Guatemala, with plans to remove the Dynon Skyview panel from it and install in my main RV-7A (that is in desperate need of an upgrade).

I could fly down there and pull parts, but I’d prefer to hire someone locally - if anyone has someone they’d recommend. Ideally, I’d fly my -7A to a shop there (after a little negotiation with my insurer… currently only covered as far south as Mexico) and they could handle the rest.

This sounds like "Let's Get Harry"

See attached from the Garmin directory -- figure if they can get Garmin's blessing they should be able to handle Dynon.

It’s in Santiago Atitlan, just south of Lake Atitlan. ~4hrs (driving) from Guatemala City.

Ha! What’s life without a little adventure, right?!

And thank you! These two are on my list to try.

Assume it was N919RV? Too bad, nice find tho...

Nice detective work. It was indeed.

Avionics are simple enoguh (famous last words); real challange will be logistics of getting other parts stateside. Looks like one wing may be in good shape, for example (but difficult to tell by photos). Not worried about making money on those, but would love to avoid having usable parts go to the scrapyard if there is an economically viable way to do it.
