Default Navion kit?

Does anyone make plans for a Navion ? I owned a full scale 1947 north american Navion many years ago and would love to have a model.

Hi TWP;

Greetings from Florida,

I just completed my rounds through the mazes of eBay, and remember a couple of Navion items, I went back for you, checked and found they were just 'plans' for sale, but a real good start, one at 69" ws, and the other at 67"...[the old Berkeley kit plans], check them out yourself: eBay #s: 140104000951 and 270108212572, [I hope I got'em rite for you].

Will close for now, best regards from the dangerously Bikini & Thong infested beaches of Manasota Key, Englewood, Florida,

Joe Nagy.

I am sure glad I don't live there as I am sure the infestations would affect my eye sight.

There are a couple. But none of which are in production today. Best big flying models are the two inch scale versions.

Back four years ago, I did new plans for 68 inch w/s Navion based upon the Musciano plan and for Miller based upon the Berkeley plan. Parts for semi-kit on these are still available.

Was someone over at RCSCALEBUILDER who was doing a building session on the Miller/Berkeley design, but showing how he was installing retracting gear too.

Parts for either of these is quite a bit less than for an original Berkeley kit off of eBay.
