I wonder if a scuba dive shop would check those bottles?- They check scub
a bottles, up to 5-7,000 psi routinely.
If you need a copilot for your MN to VA trip and can use a copilot with zer
o hours jet time, I might be available.- Depends on the time frame.

A few quick thoughts. Is the power on when you try to lock the control rods
? It could be de-activated that way with a wiring change to the armament pa
nel or a short somewhere grounding the solenoid for the release. If it lock
s with power off and releases with power on, that could be it. Mine has no
ARM panel, but the connector is there, I rigged a safety switch so I could
drop in emergencies.
O2 and Air bottles are the big elephant in the room no one wants to talk ab
out. I tried all sorts of places, no ones willing to take liability for the
inspection. My A&P "visually inspects" per the maintenance docs, but that'
s it. I've been thinking about replacing them with scuba and aircraft O2 ta
nks, haven't decided yet.

If you hang one tank with the power on, it releases automatically.
Safety. You don't want to fly with one full tank hanging so it releases
both. Just leave the power off until both hooks are in place.

A few quick thoughts. Is the power on when you try to lock the
control rods? It could be de-activated that way with a wiring change to
the armament panel or a short somewhere grounding the solenoid for the
release. If it locks with power off and releases with power on, that
could be it. Mine has no ARM panel, but the connector is there, I rigged
a safety switch so I could drop in emergencies.
O2 and Air bottles are the big elephant in the room no one
wants to talk about. I tried all sorts of places, no ones willing to
take liability for the inspection. My A&P "visually inspects" per the
maintenance docs, but that's it. I've been thinking about replacing them
with scuba and aircraft O2 tanks, haven't decided yet.

Subject: L29-List: External Tanks
Could someone out there maybe help with a problem? I am
preparing to transfer my newly acquired L-29 from Minnesota to Virginia.
I am trying to install the external fuel tanks but can't get the
hardpoint hooks to close on the support rods. I was told all that was
needed was to push the support rods into the latches. When this is done,
the hook closes around the rod but doesn't lock. As soon as pressure is
released, the hooks springs open. Seems to be in the jettison position
all the time.
We've tried all the switch combinations on the armament panel
and still open. Checked all the right panel switches in the F/C and R/C
and schematics but still no cigar. Could someone tell me how to set the
hooks into the closed position? Only other solution is to put a bolt
thru the mechansim to hold the hook in the closed position.
Another issue. Can the Czech NO2 and O2 bottles be hydro
tested in the US and be DOT approved if they pass? I've heard they had
to be replaced if they are removed from the aircraft. Is this correct or
can they be hydro tested?
Any advise would be appreciated
Thanks,
Anthony

Hey David,
Wish I could accomodate you but I am taking an instructor along
and this will be my training for the type rating. I had an LOA in 2000
but didn't change it to a type rating. So I have to do the training
over. But I'll keep you in mind for the future.
Regards
Tony

I wonder if a scuba dive shop would check those bottles? They
check scuba bottles, up to 5-7,000 psi routinely.
If you need a copilot for your MN to VA trip and can use a
copilot with zero hours jet time, I might be available. Depends on the
time frame.

If I was doing it again, I would replace the nitrogen and oxygen tanks
with removable dive tanks, clipped in, and take them out and just get
them refilled, lots of tyre shops use nitrogen, but I just used air in
mine.
