Right you are, and it seems people are still trying to resurrect old
planes at high prices, like the Micco/Meyers and the Tiger. Nice
planes, but...

Anyway, glad there are parts around and for what it's worth, to me it
sounds like Classic Aero is in the right on this one.

What about the Navion's odd little sibling the Twin Navion? Does it
have parts commonality with the rest of the Navion clan?

There are actually two different twin Navions the Riley's and the Camairs.
All twin Navion's started out as canopy singles. They essentially hang
the wing engines on, remove the front engine (evidentally, in some cases
in that order, there's a picture floating around of a Navion "tri-motor" but
I don't believe it actually flew that way), and redo the tail (larger vertical
stab/rudder and rudder trim). Yes there are a lot of common parts.
Actually the first bunch of conversions were just essentialy "field mods."
It is rumored that this "mod" was what led the CAA to come up with the
STC process...
