Earl Aircraft Salvage is throwing in the towel, and I think that they had a lot of 480 stuff and Commander parts. Starman Bros. has a web sight www.starmanauctions.com. If anyone goes, please let me know, as there is one small item that I would like to get.

Apparently I was standing on what used to be the assembly line where they did 8 each week during the war. The shop is Columbia Aircraft Services in Bloomsburg, Pa. 17815. 570-784-3070. Airport N13. They said Scott Smith (the boss) still buys the scarcer parts wherever he can find them. Tell him Ben the Kitfox guy told you to call. HTH Good luck!

I'll keep the info handy. I want to use the airplane in LIMITED commercial service and want to be able to support it. My employer has a similar problem with a discontinued aircraft/engine, and they resorted to cannabilization - which is not going to last more than another couple of months on that airplane. So, I don't want to make the same mistake they did: not having a plan "b." It sounds like there are enough parts out there to keep them going, especially if one's original equipment remains servicable through the overhaul.
