I have used scuba air for the last 3 years and they guy that had it
before me used scuba seven years before that. I have spent some time
working on mine recently making sure it will hold air as long as
possible. In doing so, I have removed a check a number of components and
have had no corrosion to speak of. As long as it's DRY, I think that is
the most significant issue. I'd be curious to know what other L-29 guys
are using....
BTW, I found a pretty cool ultrasonic leak detector from Grainger that
is pretty amazing. It surprised me how many really small leaks I had.
Detector was so sensitive and found so many leaks (and one bad reducer)
that she will hold 70 bar for months at a time now...
Bill

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

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 refi
