Hi Bill & Brien,

 

I sorta like this guy and I think he has a pretty "real" view  of the L-29.  

If it sits like a pig, walks like a pig and squeals like a  pig, then it's a 

pig!  But that's OK because it's an affordable pig to  purchase and of course 

any jet engine is basically a furnace that burns a lot of  gas, but what the 

hell, the general public has no idea that it's an  oinker.

I'm pretty much enjoying his pokes and jests.  The guy  has had me laughing 

my ass off.  He sounds like he has personality and he  obviously knows how to 

make a stinging point.  The guy sounds like a lawyer  or realtor type to me...  

  He's calling a spade a spade, but  isn't being a jerk about it.  Nothing 

wrong with a viewpoint that is a bit  different.  

In my line of work I've found that even the captain or first  officer that 

pisses ya off can have an insight that is a bit different from  yours and that 

insight turns out to be the one that keeps from bending the  aircraft!

I'll fly with him....

Guys,



Dont respond to this idiot. He is what we call on the net a troll. He

does a little research so he can converse, then goes on topic specific

lists and trashes whatever the list members are into.



By responding you are feeding into him. This is exactly the reaction

he wants. His goal is to get a rise outof people. Just ignore him and

he will go away. We had a similar idiot on another list. These are

disturbed people more than likely kids who need attention. He doesnt

have an airplane, probably isnt old enough to fly.



But the worst thing you can do is respond to him.



Ernie

I love my L-29.  It's warbird, it's a jet and will out perform most piston powered planes that cost 3 times as much and when you show up at your fly-in to eat your $600 burger, it's usually the only warbird jet on the ramp!!! call it what you will, it don't bother me a bit.  You guys are all funny getting all upset about what some jerk off says, don't even respond to him.  Now lets talk our kingman flyin.  sounds like we are going to have a great time!!

Scott, your right I should not be internet fighting with anyone, this is not

fith grade. The only point i was making is WE ALL know what the l29 will and

will not do. Like anything else If you dont like it Stay away, as I should

have done instead of responding. I guess your right, I love to fly my jet

and what others think of it will never change my fun factor.

Hmm  the guy doesn't write like a troll or a kid.   He's obviously educated 

and skilled in writing and I actually have been most  entertained by his 

viewpoint.

That's just me though.  I always enjoy the rebel, maybe  cause I'm in a 

profession that is so structured and uptight and quite often I  fly with guys that 

are wound way too tight.

Guess I'm the only one amused by him???   Besides he  has brought the L-29 

forum to life.

 

Anyhow back to fly in stuff

 

Here is the Kingman AZ info.



I spoke with Jill and Carl and they said they would be glad to  offer any 

help they can and they will be in town that weekend of March  25th.

They are Yak-52 folks, but they have jacks and tools etc.,  that would be 

available.

The only times to avoid are when they have a big rodeo or a  bikers 

convention otherwise the hotels are very cheap.

Cafe on the Airport of Kingman

Hertz car rental on the field

Travel Lodge close to the field   928-757-1188

Days Inn also 928-753-7500

Budget Silver Queen 928-757-4315

Best Western Kings Inn & Suites 928-753-6101  (nicer)

They will get fuel details for me and I'll pass it  on.

Nice resort to drive to at night for dinner is Hualapai  Mountain Resort 

928-757-3545.

Fly out for breakfast Seligman Airport (gotta check runway  length)

Grand Canyon Caverns Airport ----day trip to go to  caverns (gotta check 

runway length)

Kingman Army Airfield Museum- Norm Burge  928-757-1892

Also, of course good low level flying all over that area and  the Colorado 

River.

 

I could make that weekend with my Communist Pig!

  Hey, everybody who is interested or plans on a Kingman AZ fly in the last 

weekend in march please email me at aeroL29driver.com with your name and N# and

Bill,

    Greg here from the list..  what model viper do you  have in your L-29.  I 

found a 0 time factory overhauled Rolls Royce Viper  522 I can pick up for 

$34 K.  How hard is the mod to install it?   Thanks

Also, Bill, could you give us details about your Viper engine 

conversion?  The 'Net says the Viper has been in production for over 50 

years, albeit with many upgrades over time.

 So we all agree to block out Steve Roberts.

 Don't worry about making the fly-in from the East coast Steve, I think 

 several post ago we suggested that you try to NOT come to our fly-ins. 

 Thanks for doing so, regardless of the excuse. L-39s are available for 

 $125,000. I'll give $33,000 for your pork, it is the other white meat. Then 

 you can get a super fast, high altitude, long range L-39. Or do as I have 

 done, put a Viper in your L-29 and enjoy the ride. And out perform the L-39. 

 Even your fuel flow will go down.

 

 Serious question, did you test fly it before you bought it? What were you 

 expecting and which part of turbines & fuel flow didn't you grasp? That fact 

 has never changed since the first turbines. So try to have a good time when 

 at the fly-in yard with your buddies, (I assume you don't alienate 

 everyone,) remember, a bad day at the airport is better than a good day at 

 work.

 

 Bad markets are typical. Gas price up = ALL airplane prices go down.

 

 I read your first post, you definetly were whinning and bitching. I'm 

 married with children, I definetly know what whinning and bitching sounds 

 like. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.....

 

 MOVING ON....

 

 Dear happy owners/pilots;

 

 We pretty much figure this is a West Coast fly-in. There are a few in the 

 East that we can't afford to get to. We too want to fly and hang out. Of 

 course we welcome everybody that graves those days when they can fly even if 

 we can only afford a few times around the patch.

 

 We need to contact Carl Hayes, learn where we sleep, how many $$ for fuel.

 I will be happy to call him. Does anybody have his number?

 Who's really serious about the weekend of the 25th? (week before Easter) 

 Show up Friday go home Sunday or when $$ runs out? (Friday afternoon!)

 

 Well, its a great snowy day in Colorado! Normal 25 kt. wind, Skiings good, 

 I'm still vertical and breathing on my own. How bad can it be. Satrt saving 

 for gas!

 

 2's IN!

Roger.  We're showing up Friday afternoon.



2 guys called and asked if we could work on their FAST wing patch.  So if 

anyone else wants to do a FAST thing, let me know.
