| Subject: | L29 - baggage & weight reduction |
--> L29-List message posted by: "Jorgen Nielsen" <jorgen.nielsen@mweb.co.za>
Hi Roma
RWY distances etc. are all OK, done satisfactory climb tests, all would
appear OK. As always, looking for more performance I guess. 250 lbs is
a lot, but as a percentage it is not, so I guess it would not make such
a big difference.
I guess objectively one could question the cost / benefit of removing
weight, but I just hate the thought of carrying extra dead weight
around. I would like to strip as much as possible, including wiring.
Problem here in SA is a lack of familiarity of the avionics.
Drop tanks as luggage is clever idea.
Thanks
Jorgen

I saw an ad the other day here for an electrical air con to be fitted to
small cars. And thought hhhmmm, this has promise!
Wil try find out more detail, it essentially is a small unit with 12V
24V compressor, components are small enough to mount in a small car, so
could well work in L-29. Thinking the section in nose where IFF unit
lives.

Send me your E-Mail address and I will send pictures with and without
cables.
The cables are mounted to bar that telescopes keeping cables at even
tension.
