This weekend, while, getting my Kitfox ready for lessons/flying I could not locate the airworthiness certificate.

It was showing stains and assorted signs of age, so I removed it from the plane to put it in a water-proof bag and the proceeded to lose it.

I'll give myself a few more days to try to find it at home, before asking the FAA for a copy.
My questions:
Did anybody in the forum ask for a replacement?
How long does it take to get a new AC from the FAA?
Mine was 3 or 4 pages long, including limitations, etc. Do the FAA or the DAR keep a full copy of the original?
Any potential problem I should be aware of?

Thanks,


Roberto Waltman
