need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Yeah.....  The L-29 is actually fairly common and easy to find...  There's lots of 'em...
Pick up an aviation trader magazine and you'll see at least one on almost every page...
I like classy, beautiful, intelligent woman that say the "F" word a lot....
