Bill:
The wife is not available for loan or purchase.? She is one in a million!? She
is the one that finally pushed me over the edge as to buying the airplane.? She
took one look at it in the hangar and said "Oh, we have to have it!"? Kinda
shot down my negotiating position.
I bought my airplane from Warren Pietsch.? Warren is a friend of mine and a co-worker
at the same airline.? Warren owns a restoration shop in Minot ND and one
of the airplanes that he restored was pictured on the cover of last month's
EAA Warbirds magazine, a TBM.? He put my L-29 together about 11 years ago.? He
is currently assembling a P-51 and is selling off all non-essentials to fund
this project.? I know he misses the L-29 but the P-51 is the priority now.
I have not flown a minute of formation and I would like to come to Lamar to get
some dual.? I do belong to the RPA.? I do look forward to meeting you and flying
your Viper.
Gene

I love my L-29 and won't trade it or sell it for anything. It's a jet
and it's mine. Even if I buy something else I will always love the '29.
It's dependable, flys great and it's mine and I am not rich. Greg

Tires can be retreated here in the U.S. There is at least one company
that will do it.
Don't throw out your worn tire. I was told they wear much better with
American rubber on them.

A good reason to BUY a spare Factory Overhauled Zero Time Engine for
your L-29!!!
Oh, also tubes & tires are going to be something you guys might want to
keep as a spare. Ever think about what your plan of action is when you
blow a tire and there are no spares around?
The right "hoof" on my pig decided to start leaking and had to put a new
tube in it.

| Subject: | Hydraulic Brakes, Oxy and 'G' suits? |
Be careful if you are using an air compressor. There is no way to
completely purge the system of moisture and over time you will corrode
the metal lines.
The problem is no one knows how much time it takes to corrode lines or
the current interior conditions of our old lines.
There are Dry Air Compressors that are used for SCUBA tanks that will
remove most of the moisture but I don't know if they are small enough to
fit in the plane.
Converting brakes to hydraulics is one thing but modifying the current
vital systems can be a safety issue. Food for thought.

It dry the air. There is a purge to turn after the flight to put the
water off. I put the compressor off when doing aerobatics. Working
perfectly since many years.

Does it dry the air? Or is the moiture is flowing freely through the

I use an air electric compressor, in place in the nose, on the right
(where was the original IFF). It goes automatically on at 20 bars and
goes off at 50 bars. I have a switch for this on the main switch pannel.
I use also both original and westerns anti-G, with a special connector.
My oxygen circuit is still working and usable.

I read in some old posts there was someone modifying there L-29 to take
western wheels and hydraulic brakes. Was it successful? Also does anyone
run their oxygen system at all or is it all deactivated for extra brake
system capacity? I would be interested to hear of anyone who does have
and run a serviceable oxy system. Finally whilst we are on this kind of
subject does anyone use the =91G=92 suits obtainable for this aircraft
and
if so where did you source them from or are they western suits adopted
for the L-29 fitting?
Thanks to anyone who might be able to answer these questions.

I work for NWA. I know Warren and Kent very well.
We need another L-29 guy for the clinic. We have 3
L-29's And relatively cheap fuel.
We are offering the use of some Yak52s for your first couple lessons in
formaton. This will allow you to learn the basics for alot less fuel
cost. We have qualified Yak/Lead pilots in their Yaks. Nice offer! Then
we can fly the jets for the next lessons. The only cost is your fuel!
(jet & Yak)
Fly NWA into COS or DEN. We can pick you up or you can rent a car and
drive down. NWA flys into both.
Sept 19-23 Look at the RPA web site under fly-ins. Lamar is listed.
We need you.
Bill
