Cessna 172 taildragger mod/STC

Cessna 172 taildragger mod/STC

I am trying to find a current source and holder for a STC for a Cessna 172xp tailwheel conversion. I am not finding much recent info. Avcon doesnt return calls (not sure if he is still in business) and dont know if anyone took over the STC for Bolen or Texas taildraggers or any others. The FAA records lists 1 person that has a STC, but looks like it was for his plane only, as it was serialized. Anything you could do to help me would be appreciated.

Re: Cessna 172 taildragger mod/STC

Bob Williams of Bush/Avcon owns the Bolen STC, now actually called the TDM, Inc. STC. (I bought one a few years ago) It is likely no longer available due to the lack of PMA for parts manufacture by Williams. I think that was the only one ever who had a multi for the Hawk XP. Stoots aviation in Alaska has recently STC'd the 172 through B model and the 175 through C model, you might direct any interest to them for the Hawk XP conversion, they might add it in the future if there is enough interest.
