| Alberto y Mario Cerino Buenos Aires, FL | Somos los hermanos Cerino del Aeroclub Río de La Plata, Aeródromo Ezpeleta, Berazategui, Buenos Aires. Tuvimos nuestro primer Navion en el año 1977, el NAV-4-25, con un Lycoming 190 Hp, LV-FHY, el que disfrutamos enormemente durante 5 años. Luego pasamos por un MACCI MB-308, y un SKYMASTER 336 pero extrañábamos nuestro Navion, por lo que en 1995 adquirimos el NAV-4-842, que volamos hasta la fecha con gran satisfacción (el cual pueden observar en las fotos abajo adjuntas, pintado en verde con una gran boca de tiburón). Un gran abrazo a todos los Navioners del mundo. 10/17/2009 @ 16:28 [ref: 25195] |
| Susan Calvin Independence, MO | I own a R/C flying model plans service, Calvin's Classic Plans (calvinsclassicplans.com). Currently, I am gathering data for a very large scale (25-33% scale), accurate, detailed model of the Navion. ('Don't know why no one has bothered to do this before now). I have everything I need except accurate drawings of the fuselage structure (formers, cockpit framing, etc.). Can anyone help me with this project. Thanks.

| James Shaw , OTH | Dear All,
I am a new private pilot (license in Jan 2006 in Kissimmee, Florida, and the mote and more I look at possible first planes, the Navion keeps coming up a winner in terms of options available. I am looking for a basic started Navion (budget is very much a concern). Perhaps someone could direct me to a Navion wuth low engine time available for sale. Thanks so much in advance!!!

| jerry feather grand junction, CO | I have Navion NAV 4-862 which is an L-17 of some ilk. My predecessor in title made some effort to have the FAA change its registration from a Ryan to North American, but did not get it accomplished. I wonder now, after reading some of the history on the net that perhaps it was a north american, but was converted to L-17C by Ryan and that that ;is why it is registered that way. It is in ferryable condition, but needs paint, interior and panel to be licensed. The engine has about 800 hours and runs good. I flew it here when I bought it. It is almost totally unmodified. In fact the only mod is the prop spinner unless the underseat tank is a mod; although I suspect that the tank was done by Ryan and that is what might have made it an L-17C. Does anyone want to buy this airplane for $45,000? 12/17/2005 @ 20:15 [ref: 12011] |
