This is my favorite photo of an L-5 for some reason. It has character :)

me109, thanks for the pics. Note the long wire antenna on the first pic. The tiny wind sock on the vert. fin gives it away. That radio had to weigh a lot.

Actually the radios were quite small (about an 9" cube) and were located in the wing root area. Certainly heavier than a KX-155 though.
