Subject: L29-List: L-29 Owner

There used to be two L-29's here is Australia. One was recently written 
off, thankfully no one was hurt. This is third hand info and I don't 
profess to know anything about the L-29 landing gear except it is button 
operated!.....apparently there is a gear up lock solinoid (?) that let 
go and the gear partially extended in flight...the pilot elected to do a 
partial gear extended landing, ouch! So now it is just me and my lonely 
old L-29. Still plodding along collecting bits and recently I was able 
to give my aircraft a new hangar floor so she has been moved in now to 
prepare for rigging etc.

Cheers,

Frank
