Go to the below noted web site. Within there are pictures from old Berkeley advertisements. SIG used to re-use the photography for labels. See if my picture does not match yours. The rest of the text may be different though.

Fox definitely DID market almost all of the berkeley line, but only for a couple of years. I have seen most, but not all, of the berkeleys in Fox boxes.


Curtis, somewhere I have a copy of a Duke Fox MAN column/advertisement (remember them?) in which Duke says that he lost has fanny on the Berlekley stuff. I think the approximate quote is, "The stock and and everything else is liquidated. All that is left is the debts. Please don't call me about any kit parts." That would have been c.1962-3.

Status: online 		Hey CBL,

Certainly does look the same. I just found a Berkeley C170 on Ebay this very minute. The exact same kit as my Sig !! You mean to tell me I could have had a laser cut version ? Doh !

Actually, the Navion looks like it was stamped 10 seconds after the dies were sharpened.

I do need windows for my C170, got any molded wind screens ?

I have cowls for both and even a new canopy for the Navion. But my Navion cowl has two bulges on the lower half that I don't like and it is short. I friend did a Navion a few years ago and he lengthened the cowl 1 inch. It looked GREAT ! Flew great too, like a rocket.

Do you have anything like that in inventory ?
