| Taylor,
What kind of stringers did you use on the bottom of your L-5? | |

| Cool, it looks like the 108, or stearman stuff. Do you have contact for Lanny? I need to try to find some fillet brackets for the wing root. | |

| It's an E, probably going to make it a Late 45 pacific airplane. A few "Field" mods. I want to either put rocket tubes on it or bomb racks. problem is, I can't find any photos of the Ambulance with rockets on it. | |

|  An original cage for the bottom, not mine, I'm just copying it. Getting ready to make the stringers to the original print.  Close up of stringers  Cable lay-up should have the tailwheel steering and rudder cables done this after noon.  An original Battery, never had acid in it. | |

| Obviously loading and wiring the rockets in the tubes, but where is this photo taken?
Notice the TBM in the background?

| I have thought about putting the bazookas on my a/c after a year of judging. I think they look cool, but I wonder if they affect performance? BTW this is where I would get the bazookas : http://www.whatpriceglory.com/usbazooka.htm -Taylor | |

| Problem is certifiing the installation. Being a Standar cat airplane, there is a lot of engineering going into it. | |
