  • L-2 wings

    I found a pair of L-2 wings a couple of miles from here. The owner doesn't need them. I have no idea on $. Could give you a phone no. The fuselage is in a conex storage van. The wings are under a covered area, unheated. Dick

      Dick, I will check on them as soon as we get a little break in the Wx and a bit warmer. The fellow that owns them is a grader operator on the roads here and is pretty hooked up. Will do. Dick

        L-2 ?? The D model is set up in tandem seating with stick controls instead of side by side and was accepted into military service as the O-57. Later the designation was changed to L-2. Several models of the L-2 were used by the military. The L-2 (with no letter designation) was the basically the same as the civilian D model. The L-2A and B had "glass" or windows all around the cockpit including behind and had the cylinders sticking out the cowling side of the nose like the Piper J-3. The L-2M had spoiler on the wings and a completely cowled engine like the BC12D.

        E.

        L-2C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L military models were all civilian B models that the military used in some capacity and were not related to the D model.

        Post WWII:
        BC-12D. The BC-12D model was the postwar version of the BC-12.

        After the war plenty of factory parts existed for the D model (L-2) model. The model D tail was added to the B model (along with other refinements) and the post war BC12D was born. The most notable difference between the pre war B and D tail group is a two hinge rudder verses the three hinge pre war rudder as well as being slightly different in shape.
