If you haven't already searched for such, I seem to remember at least one RAS

Except, of course, that neither the IS-28 or IS-29 has an all-flying
tail...

Interesting threads, those - thanks.

I had forgotten (if I had even known) that there was an IS-29D with an
all-flying tail. This discussion was initially about the IS-29B,
which does not.

Cheers,

Kirk

And again, my reading comprehension is not doing too well today! At
least, the link to the IS-29 manual was for a B model with the
conventional tail.

I have a friend looking at rebuilding an IS-29 lark.

Are parts available? Does it have a life limit like the 28?

Thanks,
Jim

Not sure if parts are available (though Blanik parts may fit in some
cases) but it definitely has a life limit, and a factory approved
inspection method for life extension.

Kirk

really? i found a pdf of the flight and maintenance manual online as
well as the faa type certificate and didn't see anything about a life
limit. *there are no AD's against the IS-29 that I can find in the FAA
database.

My mistake, I was thinking IS- 28. Good luck, the 29 looks like an
interesting ship.
