Looking for abandoned plane to rebuild

Thanks so much!

I'm glad you have the 310 as well ... sometimes you have to go with what may not be the best commercial decision ... but the most aesthetically pleasing one!

Just joined the channel 😊 not a plane guy but absolutely love the content and really looking forward to the next video. Cheers from NZ 👍

On plane 3 the Bonanza, she looks like a parts plane to me, to much corrosion.

You're right about that, there's a lot of Vets with aircraft experience that would like to get their hands on projects like these, just for the thereputic value alone. The Aztec and 310 wouldn't take much to restore, while the Bonanza with it's issues should be saved for its historical value alone. These three aeroplanes deserve to fly again.

Man this is a great idea!

Heck yeah... As a veteran with 18+ years of aircraft maintenance... I'd love to get in on a project like this... So I know there are others who would love this opportunity!

Wow, great idea, put it together and do it and post your video

But at least 5 gallons of Greased Lightning degreaser. It won't damage the paint in any way and dirt will just flow off. Wet the birds down then pour the GL 25,% (or more) / 75% water mix into a pressure washer and spray them down. Restaurants use it to clean walls, ceilings and floors around deep fryers. I've used it for years cleaning pool table in bars and you wouldn't believe how filthy they get.

I'm sure he loves aviation , but if there wasn't money to be made, he would leave the planes to rot and go look elsewhere for something else that will make a dollar. Same with making the videos. He does seem to have fun though. I did.

@@kirbylee57 Absolutely. He’s into it for a multitude of reasons but surely not to lose money. He’s smart, entertaining and passionate. It all makes for interesting videos.

Agreed.

Please let me come and work with you for a week!!!!!

I got my multi in a 310A. The over wing exhaust surprised me. On my first night flight I found out that sparks come flying out of the exhaust! I also found out that leaving the retractable landing lights down reduces cruise by about 25m.p.h.! Great flying airplane though. A friend ended up purchasing another 310A a few years later. I helped overhaul the right engine and installed some radios in it. For my help, he let me fly it for fuel. Even though gas was $1.50/gallon then, at 25 g.p.h., it was too expense to go very far. I already had my own Apache that burned less fuel and was STCed for auto fuel. I loved the way it flew. It took a few minutes to not over control in roll with all that fuel weight out in the tips.

I’ve done a couple of the spar/ pylon mods for the 310/320’s …. Exhaust routing cooks the structure right out of it

when the RATIONAL mind rationalizes the extended RANGE those big bulbs have, one wonders WHY THE HECK DONT ALL AIRCRAFT HAVE such big tubes out there!! ?? LOL

@@alexmikhael5061 Very simple. When you own a huge range, you probably own a private jet. Most people own just an average range. They never really need extra thanks.

YES!!!!!

There's a hint of jealousy there....

She likes watching Jimmy buying and selling airplanes, taking chances, and coming out on top. Why are you laughing ?

Thanks so much!

Let's see the 310 in the Air!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

It's more like "flight controls NOT free and NOT correct"!

@@therealjimmysworld did any control surfaces move when you forced the yoke to move?

Hahahahahahaha

Remove them before flight. Not the tags, the flight controls.

Definitely would like to see that 310 fixed up and running

That is why I love this channel! He brings the old beauties back to life...

Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video!

for real!

@@therealjimmysworld Yeah, is Ted Lasso your brother??

You nailed the perfect description of Jimmy.

very cool! Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video!

Sky king 310 a classic and worth money just for that reason and may be worth restoring....maybe

ME TOO VICARIOUSLY LOL

If you can buy a KIA, you could buy a plane.

At this point I can’t buy a Kia😂

@@thaddeusstubblefield9841 One day lol

I thought the SAMEE thing, maybe they should “meet up” lol

That’s a great comparison!

HAHAHA, that's awesome!

Yup.

Yep…

Totally! 😄

Damn right

am looking for a rather average plane

I agree,use the funds to revive the 310.

Yes, Absolutely.

Looks can be deceiving. You got three airframes now. Choose the plane you want most. Maybe think about which one sells best, in case you call it a day. Everything in these three can be repared. It is totally up to you. Reassuring enough, you are not exactly an idiot. Good luck!

nah, better revive the bonanza and maybe sell the the 310

Bonanza parts are worth more than the whole. Owners are hoarding parts.

I found a loop hole for that.. I don’t buy airplanes, I buy parts of airplanes. When you collect enough “parts” you have yourself an airplane. Order your first “sub component TODAY”

My bro, my bro, that is the predicament of many, including moi! I’ve searched for years, and I’ve come close. I can at least get a balsa kit, but then when I say, “I want to get a plane,”, I’ll hear, “you already have one!”

🤣🤣

No comment.

:) Chi chi chi

😂😂, I'm definitely attending your church

HAHAHA, that's awesome!

Fuck the Cessna. Save the Aztec This comment is sponsored by Piper Aircraft

That STC was just for noise reduction? not anything to do with heat issues?

@@therealjimmysworld Well I am sure there are many benefits to that mod. I think the main appeal is actually the storage space. When I was flying one back in the early 80's the LOUD was the major problem we had with plane. We had no exhaust issues back then. So if *I* was to spend money on the STC it would be to solve the problem I actually had. ;) So 40 years later what I remember of that plane was that it was a sweet flying fast climbing bird that gave you a headache the rest of the day after flying it! lol With all that said I think the newer bottom exhaust 310's have a corrosion issue AD where the underwing exhaust let corrosive residue buildup and corrode the trailing edge spar... EDIT: Found this ... "(6) The 1965 J-models were the first with the under-wing exhaust. These planes are a little quieter than the over-wing exhaust. But… the placement of the exhaust pipes pumps a lot of exhaust gases into the wheel wells and flap area. You might want to spend a little time keeping those areas clean to avoid corrosion problems later."

@@therealjimmysworld hey Jimmy check your email

@@therealjimmysworld It's more than just noise reduction. Over-the-wing exhaust encourages corrosion in the skins over which the exhaust flows. There was an STC to move the exhaust below the wing, moving some noise away from the cabin while preserving the aft top of the wing.

Seems like it’s basically a straight pipe with no baffling from the engine directly to atmosphere. Super loud indeed

very cool. Yeah, Jack was telling me that he would just taxi back and forth but never flew it after putting that prop on there... Sounds like a heck of a guy.

I would take the Beech and make an artificial reef and use it as a dive attraction if I can fit it on a flat rack container and ship it...and find a place somewhere on the tourist circuit.

V-tail doctor killer needs salvaged, and I’d try to put both the others back in the air...I mean if you’re game to buy three planes...

that 310 flew just the other day before this video was made, the grandkids bombed the hell out of some bridge or another.....

Time out of service of 3 AC, corrosion has control beyond this event.

Yes. I Agree.

for real! That would be epic!

One man’s pleasure is another man’s pain.

He'll at least make a little from the KZfaq videos...

Honestly if he paid money over the scrap metal valuation of the planes, it was a terrible deal. Poor op... And, if he isn't poor, he certainly will be.

Spicoli wuz here

That's very cool 🙂 👌

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The wise words of a man known as Jeremy Clarkson

Really happy to see the 310 is going to be a project. For my untrained eye she looked like to be in the better shape of the two.

sssshhhhhhh, she doesn't know yet... I told her I took Silas on a boy scout camping trip....

@@therealjimmysworld 😅

@@therealjimmysworld Hopefully she won't sell them for what you told her they were worth if you go away for some reason (won't get morbid here).

Reminds me of Demolition Ranch - Don't Tell Mere!!!

Thanks so much!

Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video!

will be interesting to see after he cuts the wings off
