Hi all,
I have reluctantly decided to sell my L-29 project. I just have too many other commitments right now and I'd like to see someone complete this aircraft.
The aircraft is a 1973 C model from the Romanian AF. It was airworthy when it was crated and shipped to me. It is in excellent condition.
I have completely stripped the airframe down to the metal sub assemblies. All the paint is off, wiring and hydraulics are out. The cockpit, wings, center section and tail are all in cradles with wheels for easy movement.
I have all the original components, logs, low time engine etc.
This would make a great starting point for a Reno racer - stripped off all obsolete equipment it would also be one of the lightest L-29s.
The airframe is in superb condition and would only need a couple of days of prep work before priming and painting.
Everything is located in Fitchburg MA and I have a team of folks who would be willing to help load the aircraft onto a truck(s).
Make me an offer.
Best regards
Paul Hathaway

Paul:
You might remember me as the guy who purchased Number 55 at the same time you purchased your aircraft. I've watched your progress and fully realize the amount of time, talent and treasure required to get your project to the current status.
My aircraft is still untouched and hope to get some additional time to begin the restoration process. The current economic climate is forcing everyone to work, smarter, harder and longer just to keep from going backwards. Then, there is the never ending regulations and red tape from the FAA just to fly these aircraft.
Did you ever accumulate any additional replacement parts? I was able to secure some parts, but have been looking for a good deal on a replacement, zero-time engine along with anything else that might be desirable for future usage.
Thanks
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Good to hear from you.
To answer your question, no I basically have only the parts that I removed from my airframe in order to restore it.
It seems that flight control surfaces, engines and canopies are getting hard to find. I think the $17,500 I am asking for mine is less than the value of the individual stripped parts.
Cheers

Hi Paul,
Sorry to hear of your decision. Wish I was able to take her off your hands, you have done some great work getting to this stage. Are you going to keep the web site going?
Cheers,

Thanks Frank!
I'm certainly going to keep up the site.
Who knows, if there is no interest in the project I may just store it and work on it in a few years.
How is your 29 doing? Send pictures!
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,
Can't remember if I replied, sorry! I can't email you directly for some reason, very frustrating. It's either because I have an email account with a second email address attatched to it or the spam filters in the USA are turned up to the max! I can only comms via groups and since I don't have an on-line photo share file I have no pics for you. Sorry!
Keep in touch, all emails get through to me, even the bad ones! ;>))
Cheers,
Frank
