That is sharp!
I cried when I found out the new owner was painting it in those markings! I wanted it to be painted as a factory fresh L-5B right off the assembly line. I thought the blue was too gaudy.

Seriously, I was always partial to that OD/ white tail version. And isn't there at least one other L5 in the Dallas area? Bet he's got a ton of background...You already know this
There are two already restored at Propwash in the OD with the white tail.

Hey Taylor, if you need any help, I'm sure Charlie would be glad to give you ideas, he's a wealth of info about 'Miss Ziggy' and other L-5s.

Congrats Taylor, kind of looks like when Butch Schroeder found "LiL Margaret" at a garage sale. :wink:

Good Luck with it....

I am partial to the white tail version myself. Anyone have any pics handy?

Congratulations Taylor.... that really should be a lot of fun to fly. Have fun taking part in the restoration too.

All the best,
Richard
