Easier to get an STC when its for govt purposes apparently.
The Riley Company, even after Jack died, worked on their 337 GW STC up until at least 2002, but never did get the FAA to sign off on it.
210HP IO360's regularly carried 5500 lbs (some say up to 6000) when operated as O2A's in Vietnam. Our 337 aircraft are essentially the same bird, and built like the same tank.

There has to be a way someone could combine what Jack Riley had completed and the accepted Airscan STC and put together a workable STC others could benefit from. It's just how to cut through all the red tape the gubmint seems to be hell bent to put in the way of making something actually work.
