Oh crapola! Now I'm going to have to get busy! The time and money right now
is going to the Mustang II build! My son is 2 1/2. I think a L-29 would be a
great project for us in another year or so! I hope Mr Schwartz (hope I
spelled it right) is still bringing in 29's then. I spoke with him a while back.
Nice guy.

You have to remember , you get what you pay for, Although it might be
possible to get a "certified" L29 for 35,000
you probably are not getting much and you wont know how it was put
together or much of its history., I good one here is more in the range
of $50,000. So, there still is a savings to buy it in the box, if you
are handy.

| Subject: | rebuild project L-29 |
Charlie Kraus's widow would love to sell his L-29.
It has been stored in their hanger since his death 2 years ago.
I started in two months ago and it seemed to work normally.
The plane is a bit rough in some places as Charlie was a bit of a
character.
It has new canopies and a new windshield, new tires and fair paint.
I would plan on installing a new engine as this one is a high time
engine.
I have photos of the restoration when I had the plane.
Ann can be reached at (530) 527-6226

I've always been the kind of guy who likes a project. I've a number of cars
in my past I built/rebuilt to varying degrees, and now the kitplane deal.
Don't know about doing a 29 though. I've no turbine experience, other than
riding in airliners! I'd probably be in over my head with a L-29 "project". The
learning curve with the kit plane has been straight up! Any of you guys "put
together" a 29 with little prior experience?

I'm doing it right now. I have an A&P license which helps, but the
aircraft is simple and designed for field maintenance. In many regards
it is a far safer project than a composite homebuilt.

I'm doing it right now. I have an A&P license which helps, but the
aircraft is simple and designed for field maintenance. In many regards
it is a far safer project than a composite homebuilt.

I've always been the kind of guy who likes a project. I've a
number of cars in my past I built/rebuilt to varying degrees, and now
the kitplane deal. Don't know about doing a 29 though. I've no turbine
experience, other than riding in airliners! I'd probably be in over my
head with a L-29 "project". The learning curve with the kit plane has
been straight up! Any of you guys "put together" a 29 with little prior
experience?

Paul, and others..
The ailerons, elevators, and flaps are manual push pull type controlled I
think. How about the gear retraction? Pneumatic or hydraulic? Brakes are
pneumatic? Canopies open/close with manual cranks? Any electric/hydraulic/pneumatic
control of canopies? Thanks!

Most all of us had little or no experience. If you prefer building
rather than flying, there are some real "Projects" out there. Ask some
of the guys that got "Good deals" on their L-29s. I know of several that
have more in it than they would have had they bought a flying one. I'm
not talking about 100% rebuild. I'm saying take one that is flying for
about $40 or a "Good Deal" for ??? put it together right out of the box.
The parts you are missing or need to replace are not as cheap as they
use to be. However, the one flying for $40 has radio, ELT, intercom, US
altimeter and airspeed, AND is certified already.
The learning curve is much flater. These airplanes are bullet proof.
Easy and comparatively cheaper to maintain. Plus there are a lot of
owners willing to help. Thats the beauty of it!
So "project" airplanes are available and fun to do if you are not
easily frustrated. Dollar for dollar, by one flying.

$35K??? SOLD!
My L-29 has a new factory zero time engine (There's $15K right there) with
good radios, King KX 155 comm with localizer and glideslope, transponder, and
intercom all professionally installed.
It also has new generator, new hydraulic pump, new nose gear (bushing was
worn on old nose gear) new brakes and brake assemblies, perfect canopies, new
tires, NEW elevator (old one had corrosion).
Also, the plane has been gone through and assembled by an original Czech
L-29 mechanic, not some Yocal shade tree mechanic or some A&P where it's the
first time he's every seen or worked on an L-29.
It is completely stripped and ready for paint.
I would sell for around $35 to $40 K and it's Certified and it has flown
plenty with the other L-29's out here on the West Coast in Northern California.
At least 9 other L-29 owners have either flown it, or have seen it fly or
have worked on it. (Some of the L-29 guys were up for the Reno Air Races last
July and helped install a new factory overhauled zero time engine) into the
aircraft.
So, in this case you do get what you pay for, a good reliable plane that was
assembled correctly with a New engine and a lot of headaches and hassles
already all taken care of at a great price!
Happy New Year's guys.

Actually, outside of a "very few" remaining good aircraft, most in
private European hands, there are not any more L29 aircraft worth
bringing, either because of much to high of asking prices in Euro or
because they are not in good condition. So, except for a few special
remaining aircraft, all purchases will need to come from existing US
inventory. In my opinion only, the US fleet of L29 aircraft can be
devided up into a couple of groups. Those that have been carefully
assembled, include decent avionics and have had correct on-going
maintneince and those thrown together out of a container or sitting in a
shed for years and have no realistic maintenance. That defines the
just certifed aircraft from the one that been properly maintained, and
will be safe and no surprise purchase. If you expect to pay $30,000
or $35,0000 for a certified aircraft flying I can only say "let the
buyer beware" You get what you pay for

Charlie Kraus's widow would love to sell his L-29.
It has been stored in their hanger since his death 2 years ago.
I started in two months ago and it seemed to work normally.
The plane is a bit rough in some places as Charlie was a bit of a
character.
It has new canopies and a new windshield, new tires and fair paint.
I would plan on installing a new engine as this one is a high time
engine.
I have photos of the restoration when I had the plane.
Ann can be reached at (530) 527-6226
