The Stinson Model L was an experimental four-seat, low-wing monoplane that Stinson tested in 1934 as a possible replacement for the SR-5 Reliant. Robert L. Hall designed it, and Aerofiles lists a 225 horsepower Lycoming R-680B engine. The American Aviation Historical Society production notes record testing in August and September 1934, after which the project was abandoned and its registration, X14199, was applied to the SR-5X Reliant. Aerofiles says the experimental taper-wing design was judged too difficult for the average pilot and was cancelled. Only the one aircraft was built.
