The Wiki
The Boeing L-15 Scout or YL-15 was a small, piston engine liaison aircraft built by Boeing in very small numbers after World War II. It was a short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft powered by a 125 hp Lycoming engine. The L-15 was an attempt by Boeing to expand its product line as World War II drew to a close and Boeing's production of combat aircraft declined. Boeing decided against marketing the L-15 as a general aviation aircraft, and the twelve that were produced went to the United States Army for testing then were transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska for various duties.

Does need a smidge of trim for level flight at max speed (~115 MPH)
As Always
A fun little scout plane. Super interesting concept and it makes for a great observation plane as it flies very slowly. Like I said above, needs a bit of trim once airborne for level flight. Couldn't find the right balance when adding wings. Overall, I'm happy with how she turned out. She looks the part, and I hope you like it too. As always, please let me know if you have any suggestions or improvement or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you so much for stopping by, and enjoy your flight!!

Too bad Boeing didn't mass produce this. I think there is only one left in existence that is in flying condition.
