story city is just north of iowa city i believe
i went to high school in nevada which is just east of iowa city

guthrie center is 50 miles west of des moines
i fly up to boone (10 miles west of iowa city)
where they build a lot of RV Van aircraft

Keith campbell built the experimental L-4 'stinky'
you may have seen it at oshkosh

thot you all might enjoy this picture
of my L4's insignia
which i painted on by making a template
tracing the out the pattern
meticulously blue 3M tapping and masking etc.

there are a few flaws
just enough to show the human touch
but i think it looks pretty good
probably way over restored by Lockhaven's standards!

We have a flier that keeps company with the T-6s and fighters here.

Quick question... Where did you get your plane from, and for how much?

My dad is looking to get a super cub, but he would much rather have a L-4 project

i'm sorry i've been away and was unable to answer your Q
i bought this demolished plane in Nebraska in 2007
with the help of my IA + 4,600 hours
finished and soloed it on 8/3/2013
now have 49 hours and 101 landings!!
it flies great
was an honor to return this proud little warbird to the sky
