Soloy is back.

Though never totally gone, the Olympia, Wash. company had been struggling for nearly a decade as it developed and tried to sell a twin-engine/single-prop conversion for the Cessna 208B Caravan. The Pathfinder, as Soloy called the modified airplane, succumbed to regulatory changes that made redundant the niche market founder Joe Soloy believed it would fill. The Pathfinder is on the backburner now, according to CEO David Stauffer. However, the company is still trying to find a launch platform in a new-design airplane for the Dual Pac twin-engine modification, which is certified to FAR Part 33.
