Couple notes on the Jenny, the v-shaped piece is probably to deflect hot engine air away from the fuel tank. Also, motorcycle type carbs usually need the float bowl and jets cleaned if they have been sitting for a long time.

Those are Squadron or Loehle (who took over the company in the 90s) biplanes. They were made out of Columbus Ohio starting in 1982. I used to work for the company. This one has been converted from the original design to a Jenny. They sold the SE-5, the Spad and the Fokker D7. Thanks.

Had a great visit this week Jimmy! Thanks for coming, and hope to see you again up here in the great Pacific Northwest!

My aviation love began with a flight in an open cockpit “Waco” at the Paul Mantz air museum in the 1960’s. My mother always wanted to be a pilot so, she paid for a flight for me and my brother to do so. I came back (landed) with a love of aviation ever since. The was over sixty years ago and many license’s in aviation in the meantime.

Just what I needed! A distraction from work

LOL, Airspeed indicator cannot be used to measure fuel. Those are spoilers allerions, spoil the airflow over the wing to reduce lift and drop that wing in roll.

I have all the parts for the engine that you could need, I also have electric start conversion for the engine. These were used in Scorpion snowmobiles ending in 1980.

SCREW DRIVER in your back pocket when you got in the airplane would cost you your job at most FBOs. My first employer as an A&P that was rule #1. He had a former employee that sat in a 6 place twin with custom leather interior. The screw driver in the back pocket put a hole in the seat. The leather could not be matched. The shop had to pay for down time and replacement of the whole interior with matching hides. $$$$$$$$ If you need to get out in a hurry, the screw driver stuck in the seat back could make it hard.

what a neat lil plane, always been a dream of mine to own a plane, my fav is a cessna 182. stay blessed, never stressed Jimmy !

Been a subscriber since you started on KZfaq. I’m finally starting my pilot training. I’ve learned tons from watching you. Great job James. Now time for me to find a plane I can afford.

I believe the high-low plane is a Burt Rutan kit plane. When I was a kid my dad wanted to build one but didn't, we did fly to see Burt Rutan when I was 7 or 8

Thank you for bringing us along this trip with you!! Be safe and God Bless y'all!!!

30 minutes of pure history and entertaining thank you jimmy

My dad soloed in a 1941 Taylorcraft BC12D (N29840) in 1957, that plane was donated to this museum, I believe it is still there. I flew with my dad numerous times as a kid in early 60s.

Museum volunteers: "Does anyone know anything about the guy in the parking lot trying to start one of the airplanes??!!" 🤣

Damn. As easy to start as my lawnmower. 😅 I feel your pain Jimmy.

Starting fluid... and a sparky check.should get it running. 30 pulls minus start fluid.

Jimmy, I thought you were going to pop a vein pulling on that thing! Glad you got it running!

Jimmy, the Cuyuna UL -202 uses a mixture of 50:1

"Purrs like a kitten.... on meth" should be the next shirt, lol.

Read the directions on the premix oil container for the correct ratio of gas to oil

What a fun bunch of air machines!

The bicycle gear levers for the throttle and mixture in that Jenny are hilarious!

Hello Jimmy! Watching your videos is very good! In addition to being fun, for those who are not pilots but like aviation, it uses a very easy to understand language. Here in Brazil we do not have a channel with the same profile. Thank you for sharing these amazing experiences in aviation.

4/4 so far! 🎉 Clear Prop!

What a little beast Jimmy, going to be fun to fly that , hopefully

I knew you could do it. Looking forward to seeing you start the rest. God Bless.

Hey there , new to your channel but binged watched after stummbling on one of you " what could possably go wrong episodes" . So now im addicted to your page ..thank you for that ...ss a retired mechanic love " will it run ". Keep on keeping on ..

I'm so looking forward to seeing the mini Jenny 2cycle with you flying around a small airfield .

Hello from Minnesota! Fun episode!

Looking forward to a Meet and Greet around Seattle /Tacoma!

I didn’t think the lady old girl would fire but she went. Awesome Jimmy ❤❤

Never heard a better description of a badly running engine "Purrs like a kitten on methamphetamine" LMAO

by wingspan, the goose is larger than the Antonov, and was only recently surpassed by the Stratolauncher.

The throttle and mixture levers seems like old Campagnolo gear shifters!! 🚲🚲🚲

Appreciate you Jimmy, Love the channel! Been following since close to the beginning. Wondering if at some point you could do video with a listing of all the planes you have bought/featured and where they are now . . . I had forgotten the MIG was still around for example. Evergreen Museum is on my bucket list. This has been a fun series of videos. look forward to more!

You definitely need to fly into vice grip gararge.

You are doing great. I’m a private pilot undergoing instrument training right now. You’re so brave showing you’re process including all of the nerves. I firmly believe that your openness is giving strength to a lot of pilots in training. The strength that they need to keep going and pushing through the nerves. A CFI told me that I should expect to be nervous until I have about 300 hours. He told me that I would be stupid not to be. That helped me feel better about my process and better about myself and that alone brought me a lot of calmness in my current training. I have about 175 hours currently so only 125 to go before I’m not nervous. Lol😂. Keep the videos coming. I love them.

I'm pretty sure that thing was only hitting on one cylinder but .. at least you did it.. nice work Jimmy!

You will have arms of steel starting this thing all the time lol.

Hey Jimmy, big fan, are we ever going to see you fly all those kitplanes you bought?

Also been a big fan and long time subscriber, since you started, keep up the good work and all the good videos. Gary from Spokane WA

Jimmy, that was a Great walkthrough of the Evergreen Museum! You did a great job covering yourself while trying to explain the Battle of El Alamein, too, lol! I would not have recovered as well as you ...Your wonderful narrative cadence and really good bonhomie belie an immense knowledge of practical GA clearly evident in your body of work here on your channel. I crack up every time you run your hand along some crunchy control surface, or run your finger inside a carb intake and look at the deposits on your fingers and say, " That'll be fine..." OMG!

Jimmy, I hope you know a two-stroke engine will run either direction.

I've been to these museums a couple of times. They are fantastic and worth the trip. Saw the Goose in Long Beach California before it was moved to this museum. Pretty impressive machine.

great video.... who knew buying old airplanes was such a young mans world.... i had to take a nap just watching you..... lol 😅

loving this series!

Congratulations, it does run!!!

Reminds me of every homeowner trying to start a chain-saw for the first time! 😅

Your adventures are all my dreams as a 12 year old. But now, all my questions about how everything works continue to be answered. I keep saying, "wow!" my questions have been answered. I'm thinkin we share the Question gene.

Always have wanted to go visit the Evergreen Museum, now I have to put in my list the Jimmy air museum when you put al those relics in one place. 😊😊

That Mikuni carb will need the main and idle circuit jets cleaned. They also have an enrichment valve instead of a “choke”. The leaky gas is from the needle and seat. Replace it. Pretty simple carb. Should be fine after that. Enjoy!

Thumbs up for the run 👍

Jimmy, you need to go to the National Museum Of The United States Airforce at Wright Pat in Dayton Ohio, AMAZING!!!!

Another great video Jimmy thanks

Have fulfilled a love for flight by watching you on Roku nightly. But now have the opportunity to blacken your thumbs up. Now my son and I are regulars. God bless!

Jimmy, you were marveling at the short amount of time from Orville and Wilber's Wright Flyer's first flight to the Me 262... now take a quick look at the Avionics. I started flying in UH1's Huey's in 1988 with "Steam Gauges" and my most accurate Nav was a VOR and if we were lucky we'd have an ILS or Localizer on board... When did the first GPS come out that was used in aircraft? and how fast that progressed. I can't imagine flying now without my Avidyne 540 and Aspen 2000Max to get me from A to Z with stops for that $100 Hamburger in between while looking for the best Fuel Price.

Check for spark, that one probably has points behind the flywheel and they are dirty. Also it doesn't need a battery to run. Its got a self contained ignition and alternating system. Another thing, two cycle oil isnt gonna hurt the fuel tank or your can dude.

Wow it started and the engine didn’t go flying by itself!!! For 2 strokes do the musti1 thing!! Pour some fuel in the cylinders !!! Thanks for sharing

- Cuyuna Engines were used in Scorpion Snowmobiles.

Need new plugs, 2 stroke, it definitely probably has a foul plug, and some new fuel lines coming from the carb since air bubbles are probably getting sucked in, and by the condition of the carb, probobly a little clean n tune lol, good luck! ~ZJAK

0:22: that GLASAIR and the baby biplane would also be good Jimmy planes, too. Maybe ask 'em for a buy one get one deal? Maybe already got 'em too?

Great video Jimmy. I first saw a Staggerwing back in the early 1990's at White Waltham airfield here in the UK and thught it was the most gorgeous plane I had ever seen. While I was there they started it up and I saw it take off.

The Spruce Goose had the Antonov AN-225 wingspan beat by 30' 11"!

Neat spoilerons on the kit jenny.

I like the pull string for starting. That's far safer than spinning the prop.

I wouldn’t get in a plane owned by evergreen. It would be real crazy. 😂😂

Nice one Jimmy.

Check out the spoilerons!! That's how B=52s roll. 😂

May want to clean pilot and main jet, clean out idle air jet, and check if fuel enrichment valve is properly functioning. If sitting for some time the fuel will evaporate leaving the 2 stroke oil that can gum up the carb. They are a simple design and easily rebuild able. Looks like the Jenny would be exciting and scary at the same time to fly. Best wishes.

Love the content!

Jimmy that was awesome.

Hope you can fly a spitfire one day love to see that on the channel 😊

Just to say that the battle of El Alamein was where the British, ANZAC's and Indian forces stopped then defeated Rommel and the German Africa Corp Jimmy. The US didn't join until Tunisia a little later on. Love the channel and your adventures.

Great video Jimmy!

Iwas cheering that prop/engine on....out loud...'cmon...c'mon ~!...cmon !!!.cmon!! C'MON !!!!!!... YEA.... lol... would love to tour that hanger.. after i win lotto... lol... great vid, love them all... My best mate is a Jim, he sailed around the world on his home built yacht... and he is always positive , so i think i might just get him one like you wear... air and sea and me on land...lol....

You’re the man Jimmy.

Nice Jimmy!

lol the compass bouncing when it ran.. seems legit

Wow, be really careful😮

Good Job

That's a nice lil "Hubba-dah,Hubba-dah" machine you have there brother! James, you didn't bring a shoe horn with ya,didja??? Ha,ha,ha...

That replica looks like a ball to fly.......as long as it stays on the ground 😂 Good luck bailing of that thing.

wow, this ones full of surprises :D from the swimming pool to the pull starter on the motor... what´re your plans with this?

Hey Jimmy, it was nice to get to catch up with you while you were here. Thank you for the advice you gave to me and my wife, Ill be on track to get my PPL soon!

I vote we call tire chalks, Chire Talks from now on>>

Oh, cool, you can take a bath while flying the mini-Jenny. 🤣

Kudos to you getting that (thing) started Jimmy but that (thing) has Facebook marketplace written all over it 😂😂😂

That was great work Jimmy. You'd want that bi plane to start on one pull. Have you considered a spark plug lead tester, you can see it from the cockpit? 🌏🇭🇲

Let's see you fly that thing! On second thought I like watching you and wouldn't want you to get hurt.

This is awesome Jimmy 😹😹😹 I heard cheering as soon as it came to life😅😒😒

Hello Jimmy

No problem at all.

The vertical tube in the panel is not a fuel gauge, that's your airspeed indicator.

(2:40) Neat, it's got "spoilerons". Kinda like how some of the spoilers on an airliner's upper wing surfaces can also act as ailerons, except that these are the only form of roll control on this plane instead of acting in addition to normal ailerons.

Best line ever!! “Purrs like a kitten…. on methamphetamine…”

I am excited to hear you bought the Quickie. Couple years back, I we didn't know what was wrong with me, was having issues with my health. I have built and flown several model RC planes and quad drones. I took an Interest back then on the Quickie. I revisited my interest when I became sick, we wasn't sure what was wrong with me, and my design interests turned to a full sized home built plane. So I went over old plane designs, and home built designs. The Quickie had my interest because is was small, compact and fast for it's day. It was sold as a kit plane back in the 80's. They have a good top speed and from all accounts very stable. Something about the bi-wing design. The upper wing has a slight dihedral and the lowers was an inverted dihedral. Would love to go flying in one some day, but my dreams of ever becoming a pilot have been dashed. My health issues turned out to be bone marrow cancer, it causes me to be anemic, and the risk of hypoxia at higher altitudes, well let's say FAA and flight surgeons will never pass me for a license. So I my home built designs have stopped and my dream of a pilots license have been dashed. But I am glad to hear it started first time and hope you can fly her if she is air worthy, make a video so I can see one in air!

Since I started watching Jimmy, I don't need my anti depressants anymore.😆
