mDDIFll:ATIDn5 DIREI:TDRY For those of you who are interested in or have decided on a conversion or modification, we have compiled this list of mod shops to help you locate the people who can rejuvenate your airplane. To find out who does what to your model, check the cross-refer- ence list for your airplane, then look in the directory for the company or companies listed. (You may have heard of a conversion or modification that is not listed; a number of compa- nies did not answer our queries.) Many facilities around the country will supply supplemental type certifi- cates and the necessary paper work and instructions so that you can do your own work or have an airframe and powerplant mechanic do it; oth- ers will perform the modifications in their own shops. Some conversions/modifications are completed under license from the STC holder. Robertson and Ram Air- craft have several conversion centers or dealers around the country, and Schafer Aircraft Modifications has li- censed Pronto Aviation in Canons- burg, Pennsylvania, to perform the Comanchero 750 conversion. Pearce Aeronautics, Incorporated, sells only the use of the STC for the Lycoming 160-hp engine conversion for 1968 through 1976 Cessna 172s and Piper PA-28-140s and -150s and Warrior ISIs. There is another category of aircraft shops that are called completion cen- ters. These companies take "green" aircraft from the manufacturers, pri- marily turbine aircraft, and install in- teriors, avionics systems and exterior finish. Completion centers are not in- cluded in this directory. Prices are, of course, subject to change. Installation charges usually are estimates and may vary depend- ing on aircraft model and condition and type of equipment instailed in the aircraft. Applicable taxes and freight charges are additional. All performance figures were sup- plied by the companies. Figures may vary depending on aircraft model and piloting techniques. 0 I:RD55 REFEREnl:EAERO COMMANDER Jet Commander 112] Jetwind, ]nc. AYRES S2R Marsh Aviation Co.
