Symphony Stumbles Through Its Score

Symphony Aircraft Industries manufacturer of the Symphony 160 (a $160,000, 130 KTAS, two-seat high-wing) has filed for creditor protection under Canadian bankruptcy laws. The company is now seeking $6-10 million in fresh capital to continue operations at its Trois Rivieres plant in Quebec.

The company plans to hold a news conference, Tuesday.
