Left L2 elevator needed

[1943DCO65]

I recently completed an L2-B project that someone else began. The left elevator is bent and I'd like to find a replacement elevator to prepare so I wont have to take the airplane out of service. It is my understanding that the L2 uses the same elevator as the BC-12. Is this correct? And if so does anyone out there have a good left elevator they'd like to sell? Thanks, Doug

Left elevator is specific to the L-2. It has a different trim system. I should have an extra one here. I will check and see.

The early L-2Bs used the same trim as the BC-12D. The later L-2As and L-2Bs and all the L-2Ms used the slide trim. Dick

I did not know the "B" used crank trim on any of them. I know on the "D", straight L-2's, and maybe the TG-6 that were faired without the greenhouse used the same as postwar "B" models.

As a follow-up. The trim was changed from crank style to slide trim starting with sn 4651. So some L-2As and some L-2Bs had crank style trim. With the exception of the TG-6s if the sn is above 4651 it has the slide reom including the L-2Ms. Dick
