Anyone notice the L-29 market is very weak and going LOWER with the high
price of fuel and more cheap imports coming into the country. There are
flying/certified L-29's with good paint and radios in the US and they are
on the market and NOT selling at these prices which tells you that the price
is still too high! Read it and weep...... Two of them on Trade-a-plane
ASKING $44,900 and not selling. Imagine how many L-29 owners want to sell,
but have not listed their planes.....?
I can see the market easily going down to $30K for a nice L-29 with good
paint, radios, ground equipment, certified/flying in the US. These planes
are underpowered pigs and have poor range and basically have no practical
use. Fuel burn at 160 gallons/hour at an average of $3.50 for jet A equals
fuel cost of approx $560 an hour just for fuel.... Not too many folks can
afford to throw away that type of money just to go jerk around for an hour.
Good luck selling these pigs!

Not sure what this guy is thinking.... $60K for a basic stock airplane....
In his dreams....
Guess he has no clue as to the market....

If I had the rating, I'd jump on a decent flyable plane at $50,000. I'm a
long way from that rating unfortunately at 110 hours (single engine recip VFR).
Though what I really want is an F-86 Wink The L-29 should be a great entry
level jet. It's cool looking, forgiving, readily available, and plenty of parts.
It's the Cessna of the warbird market. Nothing wrong with that!

Well, Get your pen out and get busy.... 1,000 hours racks up pretty
quick Smile

I'm a pilot for a major airline (no longer bankrupt) and I fly the 757/767
and I enjoy my L-29, but the high cost of fuel has made it an issue for me.

Maybe you should post your rants on the Cessna list, since you obviously
have no idea aout what you're talking about, and have absolutely no
dicernable clue regarding L-29's. If you have so much disdain for L-29''s
then why are you on this list? Probably because you're a social cripple
who cant get along in normal social circles, and trolls around on internet
lists trying to get a rise out of people.

Ernie,

I seem to remember someone once saying something similar to you in the past
when you asked a question about L-29's.

He who lives in a glass house!

Ernie;
Not sure if that was directed at me or not. Sorry don't mean to offend
saying it was the Cessna of warbirds. What I meant by that, is it doesn't TO
and land at 150 knots, nor require a pilot to be in the top 5% of pilots to
fly. As compared to the Iskra, I have been told it's a little easier to fly.
That's all. I'd buy one in a skinny minute, IF I had the rating.

Well,
Looks like I got a rise out of you!
Comparing email addresses it's obvious you're the guy who has his L-29
priced for sale almost twice what it's worth!

Very predictable response!

As far as ranting, it's obvious that is where your expertise presents
itself, and not the current market value for L-29's. $60K LOL.... In
your "L-29 Dreams"! How many offers have you received? ZERO!

Also, in your"rant", check the spelling on: "aout" and "dicernable" or at
least run spell check before you retort with such an embarrassing
response.....

By the way.... it's spelled "discernible" in case you are not able to
"discern" the correct spelling....

Best of luck to you on selling your plane because at that ridiculous price
you will need plenty of luck and then some, OR just some total fool to come
along and pay that price....
The market is obviously very soft and planes are not selling even in the
$40's.

Hope you get some blinds for that glass house, because from what I see
looking in appears pretty ugly, contentious and arrogant!

There are some L-29's on the market, I have seen them from 40K up to 100K
(the later being on drugs or something) Yes the market is soft right now but
where else can you fly a warbird for 50K. It's a bargin especially at that price,
and you are flying a Jet! I know someone who just bought a JT12 powered L-29
for 70 Grand. If I would have known about it I would have bought it. That
thing hauls ass!!! But I am happy tooling around 2 hours a month in my L-29. It
satisfies the bug quite well.....

In response to Steve Roberts post:

I've been involved in the L-29 community for almost 10 years and I feel that
a response to Mr. Roberts is necessary.

When the L-29 first became available the prices were around $100,000 for a
certified , flying nice aircraft. The L-29 market was dramatically affected
by the introduction of the L-39 to the civilian market. However, there was
and still is no comparison between the 2 aircraft, except for the wonderful
quality of Aero Vodochody production. The L-39 is a more sophisticated with
more advanced systems, a very expensive fan jet engine, costing over
$100,000 to replace and annualized routine maintained far above that of the
L-29. That being said, it is a wonderful aircraft and even in today's
marketplace of somewhat reduced prices, you are going to be paying $175,000
and up for any decent flying aircraft. While fuel burn between the 2
aircrafts is very similar.

Granted fuel costs have risen a lot !!!!. But where can anyone buy and
operate an ex-military jet with the reliability, ease of maintenance and
parts availability that the L-29 affords for these prices? NOWHERE. The
L-29 remains the biggest bang for the buck in all of the warbird community.
Maybe you would prefer investing $70,000 in a YAK with a piston engine that
requires a quart of oil per hour. (Don't get on me, I own one and love it!)
Just a comparison. A $50,000 car would be worth $5,000 -five years latter.
So, everything taken into consideration, its a wonderful aircraft and
affords the average guy the opportunity to live a dream on a beer budget.
With fuel being the single greatest operating cost, I suggest that every
operator look at ways of relocating to airports that allow you to own your
own fuel tank, or allow you to truck in a fuel trailer etc. After all,
reducing fuel costs greatly enhances your hourly ability to fly this
aircraft.

Times change and so will the market for the L-29. With surplus engines
becoming a big issue with the L-39, the L-29 could see a revival in the
coming months and years. To address resale value. The market is all over
the place. I have seen very nice , well equipped aircraft sell for $100,000
and I have seen them in the box for $18,000. Every case is different and
the condition and representation of each aircraft is different. It takes a
nice aircraft, (more than just slapped together) and some salesmanship to
get the top dollar. But it is possible and I know of several that sold
recently well above $50,000. Let work together and stick together. Happy

Are you going to the CJAA convention? I heard that Doug Gillis isnt going,
and Zach wont be there. I spoke with Gary Cole and he was asking if I was
going. I said no. Looks like it'll be a 39 owners convention.

I thought the L-29's burn was about 103 gallons per hour. Is this
incorrect?

and still is no comparison between the 2 aircraft, except for the wonderful
quality of Aero Vodochody production. The L-39 is a more sophisticated with
more advanced systems, a very expensive fan jet engine, costing over
$100,000 to replace and annualized routine maintained far above that of the
L-29. That being said, it is a wonderful aircraft and even in today's
marketplace of somewhat reduced prices, you are going to be paying $175,000
and up for any decent flying aircraft. While fuel burn between the 2
aircrafts is very similar.

Granted fuel costs have risen a lot !!!!. But where can anyone buy and
operate an ex-military jet with the reliability, ease of maintenance and
parts availability that the L-29 affords for these prices? NOWHERE. The
L-29 remains the biggest bang for the buck in all of the warbird community.
Maybe you would prefer investing $70,000 in a YAK with a piston engine that
requires a quart of oil per hour. (Don't get on me, I own one and love it!)
Just a comparison. A $50,000 car would be worth $5,000 -five years latter.
So, everything taken into consideration, its a wonderful aircraft and
affords the average guy the opportunity to live a dream on a beer budget.
With fuel being the single greatest operating cost, I suggest that every
operator look at ways of relocating to airports that allow you to own your
own fuel tank, or allow you to truck in a fuel trailer etc. After all,
reducing fuel costs greatly enhances your hourly ability to fly this
aircraft.

Times change and so will the market for the L-29. With surplus engines
becoming a big issue with the L-39, the L-29 could see a revival in the
coming months and years. To address resale value. The market is all over
the place. I have seen very nice , well equipped aircraft sell for $100,000
and I have seen them in the box for $18,000. Every case is different and
the condition and representation of each aircraft is different. It takes a
nice aircraft, (more than just slapped together) and some salesmanship to
get the top dollar. But it is possible and I know of several that sold
recently well above $50,000. Let work together and stick together. Happy

There really are not any military Jets that will burn 100 gal per hour. At
least not the older ones. I safe average number would be 150 per hour.
with most of the time being in cruise. Fuel economy is not the strong point
of military Jets.

I thought the L-29's burn was about 103 gallons per hour. Is this
incorrect?

It can be done, but you better have the numbers right on. You didnt mention
obstacles. 3300 ft leaves no options for an abort, also high density
altitudes with full tanks would be marginal at best. My personal minimums
are 4500 ft

What is the recommend runway length to operate these birds? Can one get
away with a 3300 foot paved, that is 40 feet wide?

3300 ft is a little tight for the L-29 .as it leaves no safety zone. 4,000
ft will work. 4500 and up is better. Depends on elevation, weight and
expereince.
