This illustrates the old saying,”The way to make a small fortune in aviation is to start with a large fortune”.

I’m a 66 hr non-ticketed pilot. The Cherokee six is the plane for me. Two peeps and some camping gear is fine with me. Cargo door is tops! I love the stable characteristics of that airplane. Fly from A to B call in your approach and flair. Done! Have a nice day.

Congrats Jimmy, it turn out fantastic. Saw the trade a plane ad, and if I was ready to trade out of my 182, I’d have to come look at it. Just not ready, but you’ve got that one loaded like I would want! I think asking price is right for today’s market, good timing on that! Look forward to the next project, love your channel

The wrap makes her absolutely beautiful! Love the pharmacy supply jokes.

Such an awesome story and turnover on this amazing airplane. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Next thing I would definitely do is change out those airplane seats for something more comfortable.

Really enjoyed this overview of the type and what it took to get this wonderful plane back in the air. Well done Jim keep safe

Great job Jimmy. I bought an Aztec and fixed it up. Pickup truck x2!! Love the plane, does a great job…….but the crawling up the wing not so much. Looking at cheap 340s now. Great watching your progress. You got some guts buddy.

I've been thinking about getting my pilot's license, so I've been doing a lot of research online. I came across Jimmy's videos a few days ago and I've been watching them quite a bit. Lots of useful information and the guy has a pretty fun personality. I just subscribed, keep up the good work.👍

15 years ago I restored a t-tail Lance (paint, panel & interior). That might be a good next project? If you want a little more speed (150-155kt cruise) the Lance/Saratoga is a good choice.

Thanks for sharing your story about the Cherokee 6. I've got about 100 hrs in the 6 and I love that it can haul a ton and it's very comfortable for pilot and passengers. My ATF plane is the twin Comanche but the Seneca would be an interesting project plane.

This is your best vid so far, Jimmy, IMHO. Less hollering and goofiness; more useful info...but still has youthful enthusiasm. Nice work.

Best channel on KZfaq! Not another car rebuild, will it start, barn survivor channel but an actual interesting and technical channel. Love the content especially the older planes.

Very enjoyable to watch you, Jimmy! Great info, you're a positive, can-do kinda guy who doesn't mind hard work and getting your hands dirty!

We had an Aztec in the 80's got rid of that and got a 206 Turbo... Much happier with the 206 and especially living in the southwest desert.. high wing is just a lot more comfy IMO..

Great practical educational videos! Love them, Jimmy. I have started my commercial pilot's licence, your videos spur me on! Thank you.

I've never seen the interior of a plane look so much like a family car. No wonder the prices are skyrocketing, we could all be flying around this country with our families and shit. That would be sweet.

If you want to stay in the Piper family a Lance or a Saratoga retracts get you more speed. If you are not brand tied a Cessna P210 might tickle that itch better. If you are looking at twins Aero Commander and then you can imagine you're Bob Hoover.

Thanks for the cost breakdown and good overall plane rating.

Loved following along on this journey Jimmy! Looking forward to your next project!

New subsciber here. Not a pilot, not going to buy a plane but I am a big fan of aircraft of all sorts and your channel is great, very informative, not so serious and quite funny. Keep it up Jimmy, I love it.

Jimmy, loved the recap, an outstanding job. If you are looking, may I suggest a Commander 114, around 185 mph more or less, lots of room, wide cabin, retracts and the price is under $100K. Service ceiling is 17,000 and change.

I'm not an aviator but enjoy watching aviation videos. I subscribed, you have a great video personality and of course aviation knowledge. Congrats!

35yrs here in southern ohio and recently became absolutely obsessed with aviation and love youre videos and very mechanically savy lol but give me a job!! Dream come true!!

Great plane, I owned 3 of them. My favorite was a 7 seat 300. I flew medivac, freight and tons of my own things. It does have a reasonable conservative flight envelope in calm low altitudes. I have flown many aircraft, piston, turboprop (PT6) and a few jets. The 540 Lycoming is the best. It is the most comfortable AC that I have flown. The big back doors are fantastic. The stability in rough weather is tops. I love the two hershey bar wings over the new tapered long span ones. The prices keep climbing for a reason.

Hoovie of the planes, Doug of the 1-10 reviews, Wizard of the rebuild! And you fly the damn things!!!, Love it! Subscribed

Good on you for getting it done! Now, get a Baron! If I could ever afford one, that would be it. (Just 'cause turbine singles are even MORE expensive)

Awesome video sir. Enjoyed the ride and the over the shoulder tech stuff. Would love to see a twin rebuild..... LOL Thank you for taking us along. Hope to see you again soon.

Great personality that talks in very easy way that everyone can understand the meaning of aviation. Well done and you make things interesting to watch.

Good job Jimmy, this is awesome. Man this is so cool to fly and to have your own build bird to fly. I would love to pass my PPL and start flying too but that seems to be a dream for the moment.

I love the way you work and are so efficient at diagnostics. You need a former aviator handy with tools and methods to help you like me!! Your 'kid' is amazing in the videos and so knowledgabal!

Jimmy you could have saved 500 in that encoder. Remember you have dual g5 with gad 29b. You can drive digital Arinc 429 out of the gad and Into that es transponder. One less thing to get certified on your 24 month checks as well. Just FYI good job.

Yes, your right Jimmy. The Cherokee 6 300 is an old dependable workhorse. I've spent many hours flying one back in the 70's. I dropped jumpers out it, cross country hops and hauled lots of cargo, When I could find another pilot to fly it, I made several skydives out of that cargo door. The only incident I had with the 6 300 was a broken belt that drove the alternator. Happened at night on a cross country. Lost battery power. Sure gets dark in there with no lights, and really quiet with no radio. I spent the night and a small airport. Keep up the good work. I enjoy the videos and the crazy banter. Just an old Marine here. R.

“You can fit all kinds of medical supplies back there”… you mean “pharmaceutical supplies” right 😂

Jimmy, Love your videos and explanations of expenses. Question Jimmy....Did all the upgrades include the Annual or preparation for an Annual ?

Looks great, Jimmy. Thanks for the videos.

Nice job with the upgrades, I can see that thing really being fun to cruise around in.

Great job Jimmy. Let's have some flying videos pls. destinations etc. Then another build. Thanks

Thanks for the rebuild blog. It was fun to watch. Good luck with selling it. You will have a great set of videos for the perspective new owner to watch before they buy. My opinion on the new plane would be a Cessna 310 but I guess I am biased.

Never expected less from a Red Horse. Jimmy, that’s one fine restoration job, great looking airplane. Hope your family gets many an adventure with the six. Blue skies Brother.

Damn nice truck if you ask me. When you get to be my age speed isn't so much of a factor but dependability, durability, and stability are cool. You did a great job refitting and upgrading the electronics. Who ever gets this machine will have a gem of a plane.

I've recently happened upon your videos, and subscribed. I love what you are doing, and your love for aviation. You have a likeable personality, and good presentation. "Down to Earth" with your head in the clouds... Adding the family is the best part! Keep em coming and good luck on gaining more viewers! I'm sharing your stuff to help...

Jimmy, I enjoyed watching the restoration. Maybe you could show how to put all the speed mods on the plane that will make it faster and more efficient.

Man, I really liked that. I seen a documentary on how heavy planes fly with shorter wings. After watching big birds floating on the wind and getting higher. They figured it out. They put those curved up tips on the end of the wings. Now the heavy plane was lighter when it flew. But don't change a thing. That plane is beautiful. You did an outstanding job. I was just sharing something I seen one time. Planes are fascinating.

Jimmy. Your sense of humor is gold. Great channel you have.

I’d love to be in a place where paying 45k for something broken is a good deal lol

Jimmy, does the wing on this Piper fall under the recent AD for the installation of the wing inspection plates and the required inspection of the wing joints for stress fractures? Did you have to do those? If not, why not?

Jimmy nice work on the pickup with wings. Pickups are the best investment I’ve known and the most handy. Keep working on the show entertaining us, take care and keep your wings level .

Hi Jimmy, Love your channel. Love you enthusiasm and knowledge. We done please keep up the great work.

Awesome job Jimmy! Well done, can't wait to see your next build ;-)

Keep her in the air Jimmy, was fun watching you build her!

Just subscribed. I like you're hard work and time you and your team do to keep em flying. I am a Air Force veteran who has a love for aircraft.

Keep em coming Jimmy! great listen to you!

Jimmy, thanks for bringing us along with your adventure. Enjoyed this wrap up. How much time and how many bandaids?

Hey Jimmy, Thanks for the awesome channel! Love the humor (of which the subtler parts are not lost on me :)) and your resourcefulness. May I suggest now that you have built out the "airborne suburban" how about an "airborne boxter"...say a Beech 35 or even a B55 twin? At any rate, all the best!

Good job showing telling jimmy about the plane,and doing nothing is wrong not good so you like doing the plane’s do it to it. but rest don’t over do it so keep on flying see ya next time see ya bye.

Fun video. Loved hearing you thoughts on this "truck." If you go in the opposite direction in a single, look into a Mooney M20 (E, F, or G), that would be a definite new kind of plane. Keep 'em coming.

That was fun..great presentation..thanks. You’re convincing me to get back into bug smashers..it’s been a long time.

Fantastic work & congrats! It has been great seeing you do this. Found you channel via your crazy "Look at this Lear fighter trainer you can buy for $150k" style videos and have stuck around for this kind of content. Think you need to keep doing both to get those new eyeballs and keeping them - you seem to have found the way to name your videos and get KZfaqs algorithm to work for you :) I'd love to see a video on the real running costs.

Nice build! Looks good! Thanks Jimmy!

found your yt channel yesterday , love it, love how you like to rescue and repaire if posible.

They were the second most used 135 airplane in Alaska in the 80-90’s I believe

Owned one with retractable gear. Good combination of load cg. If you stick to utility load rating and are within air density. She will not disappoint. Safe very safe aircraft. Yes it is a truck.

Thanks so much for what you do... and how well you do it. I'm educated, entertained, and motivated by you. Again, thanks! -HelicopterMark

Totally agree on the cargo space. I've flown both air ambulance and air mortuary in a six. You can imagine how much room that takes.

Flipping with Jimmy, the story of how a young man and his MB turn a out of annual Piper into a full time KZfaq channel. In this episode Jimmy has the lust for speed, as we follow him through his work getting a multi engine rating in his new project Piper twin.

Someone talked me into going on a trip in a small plane once. Here's what it felt like: you're on top of a piece of plywood hooked up to a car being driven down a dirt road by a drunk.

I just subscribed. I have been watching for a while. This one won me over. Great video Jimmy!

I surely know what you’re talking about with ‘forgiveness’ and ‘load.’ Even though I’ve flown a lot of oddball aircraft and did all of my ‘quals,’ in a Cassena, the only aircraft that I’ve personally owned was a 46’ Stinson 108-3. It was affectionally known as “The Station Wagon of the Skies.” I bought it for a song, from the original owner. It hadn’t been flown since the late 50’s and I bought it in 1971. It had a very tired and beat-up 165 Franklin in her. I was practically given a Franklin 220 that needed to be rebuilt, which I did myself. Since I had a connection with Edo Corporation, in Manhasset, Long Island, NY, they reworked my pontoons for $500; including shooting them in the Dupont color of the plane itself. That was one epic aircraft.

Ride the greyhound alot cheaper.

Great recap Jimmy. Enjoyed the build. Has Pastor Jimmy given his final blessing to the finished product?

Great rebuild!!!

Jimmy's world is a great show love it keep it up. I'm learning more about planes on every video.

Next project should be a Piper Malibu.

Proud of your achievements on getting your Six Packer from start to finish and let me know what power settings you are using for you and comfort

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Really enjoy following the progress of your nice airplane. Have lots of fun. Saludos !!!

9 months broken back to brand new wow thats amazing #savethe310 great job fixing it! :D

Looking good now. "I love flying" justifies all the money. You're not crazy one bit.

Jimmy, thank you for sharing and documenting this entire process. The educational value is enormous. However, in hindsight, was the $45,000 sale price overvalued? Given how many things had to be fixed just to get it off the ground after so many years, it seems the seller made a fortune on what was once yard clutter. Maybe “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” applies here.

LOVE your Commentary and Explanation !!!! you got my 8 subscriptions...

Congrats!!!! Looks great and seems line a good investment you made, especially now that’s a seller’s market for airplanes. Love your videos! Thx!

Cool! Happy Landings!

It was a fun ride watching you bring this bird back to life.

Well done Jimmy. That’s probably about as good and useful a ch.6 would ever be After all your work and upgrades.

I like the way you bring an aircraft back to life. The job

Great video jimmy. It was informative .

Hello again, I left a comment on your 4 of July video about a fellow KZfaqr that goes by the name of Puddin' s Fab Shop. He lives in Oklahoma & was in the Air Force he is a very good mechanic & I have seen him work magic & fabricate/rejuvenate parts & engine's. Any how best of luck to you & yours & your shop crew !

I have just found your channel and I will be truthful I have no idea about plane's but I seen one of your shorts and I just couldn't stay away I think your fantastic Jimmy keep up with your crazy way and I'll keep watching Bro

Great channel. Don't stop what you are doing.

I have watched several of your videos Jimmy and I enjoyed them, good job. I formerly did nondestructive testing and some of it for aircraft and helicopters. Usually landing assemblies and blade yokes on the choppers. Do you do or have someone do these things on your planes? This should be shown in the log book maintenance.

Sure do enjoy "Jimmy's World"!!! Keep it coming!!!

Dear Jimmy you should try a Lake Buccaneer a four seat light amphibious aircraft originally developed as the Colonial C-2 Skimmer, itself a development of the two-seat Colonial C-1 Skimmer. We are a team of Airline Pilots following you. Great job keep up.

Jimmy great job im working my 1965 Cherokee Six the 144th one ever built hasn't flown in 7 years getting ready for the first engine start.....

I loved the restoration. Keep it up.

Hey Jimmy, i'm im Brazil, and watching your vídeos , i'm taking my PP now, i worked at EMBRAER doing wiring and avionics. Good luck.

I love your show! Please do more! I wish you could do an F4 phantom. We need to find one of these

Enjoyed this series and look forward to another.

Luckily for you, able to buy & repairs plus maintaining a plane, have fun 🤩

Greetings, I'm new to your channel, and thinking about getting my pilots license. I've worked on aircraft for over 20 years, but now I want to get into flying. Your videos are very informative. My question is how much does it cost to maintain your private aircraft as well as fuel cost? How often do you fly?

Jimmy, I've got a lot of PA32-300 time in my younger days and you hit it on the head! The "Six-pack" is a 'single-engine DC3.' Literally speaking, if you can close the doors, you can fly it... within CG limits. Another, similar plane with 'two chances for an engine failure,' a Cessna 402. It's an airborne "1-ton dually" pickup truck. Anything from hauling 1,500# of mail to hauling mining machinery and landing on dirt roads in Nevada's mining districts, the 402 got the job done. I subscribed and hit the bell... Looking forward to the next video........

Great build series. Was awesome! Can I get a clear prop was definitely my favorite. V35 bonanza build would be awesome to see. It does goes faster but not the full 200 knots like u wanted. Great job!
