Navion trivia
Subtract 3100 from the N-number of a Navion bearing its original N-number to calculate the aircraft's serial number.
For example, the serial number for N5210K is 2110. The serial number can also be calculated this way:
Original N-number: 5210
Less: 3100
Serial number: 2110
You can turn a parked Navion around 360 degrees within its own wingspan.
Carefully step down on the tail skid while holding on to the tail until the nose wheel clears the ground. When you find the Navion's balance point, pull the tail in the desired direction.
