Notes: The C-3 was manufactured in two slightly different configurations. The original version was the C-3 Collegian, popularly known as the Razorback. The later one was known as the C-3 Master. Perhaps the C-3 Master's most distinctive features were a rounded spine and a smaller vertical tail which provided a more rounded appearance. While most C-3 Master's featured an enclosed cockpit, the C-3 Master was also sold in an open cockpit configuration without the sidedoor known as the "Duplex." Many C-3 Collegian's were converted to the "Master" configuration.

An Oleo tripod gear was specified for seaplanes converted to landplanes.
