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


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


Thanks,

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.

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.


I looked at the TCDS for both the -28 and -29 and neither mentioned
life limits. I found a POH for the single seat Lark and it did not
mention life limits.
