If you followed the thread, "L-4 Camoflage paint", you're probably aware that a model of the L-4 was being built as an hobby-addon aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX). Will has very kindly given me permission to mention that this L-4 is now available. If you'd like to see how it turned out, why not head on over to this site and have a look:

Btw, I've promised Will that if this sells $1million worth, he gets a new J3; given that one other site, for example, has sold all of 2 in two weeks, I hope he has a long lifespan. ;D
If you're not aware of how the PC-based flight simulation world has come along in the past few years, a tour of the site will give you a good idea. And if you have any questions, fire away.
Thanks, too, to everyone here who helped out, especially Paul Smith, who has an excellent eye for detail and accuracy (not to mention being pretty patient).
A very enjoyable project, and I certainly learned a great deal about this very remarkable aircraft. With luck, a few more people will now learn about it, too.
