If you gave me one, I probably couldn't afford the fuel!  

 

 Well, maybe every other month or so, but that wouldn't help to remain current in the bird.

I've always been the kind of guy who likes a  project. I've a number of cars in my past I built/rebuilt to varying degrees,  and now the kitplane deal. Don't know about doing a 29 though. I've no turbine  experience, other than riding in airliners! I'd probably be in over my head with  a L-29 "project". The learning curve with the kit plane has been straight up!  Any of you guys "put together" a 29 with little prior experience?

I’m doing it right now.  I have an A&P license which helps, but the aircraft is simple and designed for field maintenance.  In many regards it is a far safer project than a composite homebuilt.

An A&P helps? Speak Czech or Russian?

Paul, and others..

 The ailerons, elevators, and flaps are manual push pull type controlled I  think. How about the gear retraction? Pneumatic or hydraulic? Brakes are  pneumatic? Canopies open/close with manual cranks? Any  electric/hydraulic/pneumatic control of canopies? Thanks!

Most all of us had little or no experience. If you prefer building rather  than flying, there are some real "Projects" out there. Ask some of the guys that  got "Good deals" on their L-29s. I know of several that have more in it than  they would have had they bought a flying one. I'm not talking about 100%  rebuild. I'm saying take one that is flying for about $40 or a "Good Deal" for  ??? put it together right out of the box. The parts you are missing or need to  replace are not as cheap as they use to be. However, the one flying for $40 has  radio, ELT, intercom, US altimeter and airspeed, AND is certified already.

  

 The learning curve is much flater. These airplanes are bullet proof.  Easy and comparatively cheaper to maintain. Plus there are a lot of  owners willing to help. Thats the beauty of it!

 So  "project" airplanes are available and fun to do if you are  not easily frustrated. Dollar for dollar, by one flying.

Gear = hydraulic

Brakes = pneumatic

canopies unlock and lift or pull in the rear all manual



East no fail.

Got thinking about it the other day, you know you can buy a flying L-29 for  about the cost of a OH 1820 for a T-28!

And it's faster than a T-28, burns not that much fuel and none of the maintance headaches!!!
