The L-2 is nice airplane but it is heavy compared to a BC-12.

How does it fly? Is it more of a dog than the J-3? I know the J-3 is
lighter but its certainly not short field or fast plane (lots of stuff
hanging from it). (I'm not looking to buy a J-3, I'm just looking for
a compare)

I haven't actually flown one, I'm basing my comments on those of others.
There are numerous L-2 owners on the vb.taylorcraft.org forum who would be
happy to give you a detailed response. I fly an F-19 (100hp) Taylorcraft.

I've flown a J-3 (about 7 hours). It's not much of a hauler but with a C-
85 it'll pop right off the ground, but it is slow. I believe the L-2 will
beat it by about 10mph.
