Bill Hempel's 25% L-4

I have used a pull only throttle cable on several planes, works great. Was the standard on the automobile for 100 years.

Finally, it is done. Need to get it outside and run a couple tanks through it before going for the maiden.

But it does run and run well, really liking that little four stroker so far. Will try to get to the field tomorrow.....

Just got in and realized I forgot about you guys. The L-4 had it's maiden done yesterday morning along with a couple follow up flights, then turned around and did several more today. A really good flying plane with a slow, easy, and relaxing state to be in whilst flying.
I'll try to get some pics of it in a day or two.
