You'll have much more luck with the Arrow+IC-910H on FO-29 without preamps than you would with SO-50. However, you will have much more breathing room on FO-29. Especially if you stay away from the center of the transponder (435.850-860) and avoid "neighbors" creeping in on your QSO's.
Good luck and have fun! That's one of my favorite portable setups! See http://www.w5pfg.us/2013/01/a-simplistic-yet-effective-portable.html

I'd like to hear from anyone who has worked FO29 portable. We are
working
with a group of guys on an expedition to a small island and I'm hoping to take only an IC910H and an Arrow hand held Yagi mounted on a light camera tripod. Clearly I can work SO50 with that, but how about FO29? Will I
be
able to hear it with that small antenna and no preamp?
