He wants to fly me to pick up the L5 in the L4 and we will fly them both back to 52F. The L5 is amazingly done in one of the best builds I have seen. The pre buy inspection showed it needed a new battery and had to be started with an APU, and that was the only issue. I will have to post pictures and a video.

The Stinsons were rugged good airplanes. Haven't seen one in a while. Kermit Weeks has one I think in his museum. Post a pic of the 26 too. We had one when I was little.
