Pelair A model freighters are being parted
If so a lot of the A model is not compatible with the B model, so the cannibalisation is not for airline use. Engines, gear, electrics, even airframe parts are different, different leading edges and stab sections. There's some commonality but not really any of the expensive useful stuff. Pelair only has 3 I think, not sure, but thought most of the As got sold off O/S. The similarities would be like trying to fix ATR-72 with ATR-42 parts, and since one of those crashed when the wrong fuel sensor unit was installed they made the parts completely incompatible.
