From Cessnas to Supercubs to L-29s
In many respects the 29 is better, cheaper to buy and operate. It is definitely more maneuverable and the 39 is only about 30 knots faster. The 39 is also a lot more aircraft to maintain, but does have some neat bells and whistles, it also looks better, but in the end I'd take a -29.How do ya like that L-29? One of my roommates has an L-39. Thinking about taking it to Reno this year.
What do ya fly???
Better look into the "RARA" rules for the jet class - they really tightened up what you could do to your jet after the 2007 crash. I was on that crew.We think we've got a few ideas to keep our -39 competitive. (If she actually races... uggg, the ECONOMY)

I hear Brad was a great guy. Sorry for your loss.
Soooo, if my crew beats your crew at Reno, can I be a Moderator?????
Maybe, but I doubt it.
Look at the race results - it was a 2 plane race. The closet -39 to us was "Pipsqueak" flown by Joe Ganao who owned the 1st place airplane. On certain laps the 2 Viper powered -29s had a 5 second 20 MPH advantage.
