Another newbie question - has anyone figured out a way to carry baggage
in the L-29?
And has anyone gone thru weight reduction program - including redundant
wires etc.
This esp. important, flying out of 8000ft density altitude airport.

where are you located? We have all done weight reduction. Get a skinney seat pack
chute, (no cushion) and put your socks in the deep well of the seat pan.

Hi Bill
I live in South Africa. The chute idea sounds good - I am running live
seats though. Any info on weight reduction? Seems many people have
done it but no-one has documented it, so everytime people "re-invent the
wheel".

Hi,
We have a local fellow who removed about 250 lbs, soviet radios,adf,iff,
some wire etc., does not seem to have any gain in takeoff distance, speed or
climb, for local flights just reduce fuel amount,
Have also seen drop tanks converted to baggage.
If you seem to be using too much runway be sure and check your exhaust
nozzle for match with your engine, these range from 303mm to 316mm , check
your last overhaul in your engine book because they can change .
Roma
