There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Those lower wings on that Stinson are interesting because back when my father had an ag business there was a Piper J3 that came floating into the grass strip one day and it had that same set-up cfg of lower wings added to it which looked almost exactly like this L5 pictured.
It was early 1970's when I saw the J-3. The only ever one I saw, never to be seen again until now. That J-3 was also set up for spraying.
I looked across the net to try to find a picture example like the modification like the J3 had and could find not a trace, yet here you bring a picture of a very similar modification. Someone must have obtained type certificates for the extra wings back around that time and apparently was trying to market it for several different small planes that would fit into the ag business. Most likely to increase load.
I remember seeing that J-3 coming in on final and it looked like it was at walking speed.
Very glad you posted this.
