This 1962 Cessna 310 has been sitting for at least 5 years without flying or having an annual inspection. I dont know what it needs to get airworthy again but follow me along this journey to first see if we can get the engines running then going thru the process to get this bird airworthy again.

310's are number one. We flew a 1955 for over 10 years and our latest, a P model for 15+ years. Great birds, best bang for the buck out there IMO :)

Check the front spar thing ahead of cockpit

I am seeing a lot of corrosion in the wheel wells, what type of corrosion are you looking for, 310s are magical it will look like there's no corrosion anywhere, until you start stripping, and then the shock starts, exhausts manifolds develop cracks,

Great to see you from the Skyhawk and the 182 and of course the SR22

Check carefully On leading edges very carefully, riverts need always a few checks on the 310

Beautiful airplane but there is certain to be rust corrosion around exposed to air 'dry of oil' camshaft and follower and some cylinder bore surfaces, unless the engines were correctly inhibited and sealed for longterm storage. Starting them without stripping and corrosion removal will just seal the engines' fates as permanent 'boat anchors'.

Is there a procedure for rejuvenation after being stored improperly over the long term? That doesn’t involve splitting the cases or pulling the cylinders?

@skippmclovan1135 3 ай бұрын

@@ronjon7942 A borescope inspection can show the condition inside each cylinder and it is possible to see some smaller patches of exposed camshaft areas that may or may not indicate any rust corrosion from prolonged dryness and condensation moisture. To put your life in two good engines to get you safely off the ground into the future, you really do need to firmly establish the internal condition. To do this with surety you really need to strip them down. Otherwise it's a step into the unknown.

You should know not to neglect your property. You need annual inspection and all new tires and at least 5 test flights with only one pilot around field.

Pretty plane, my absolute favorite GA aircraft. What model is this? Except for not having the sexier three blade props (hey, gotta look good in the hangar), your plane ticks all the boxes for my aesthetic requirements! :) But those props look just fine when the engines are spinning - prolly look even better considering how much a three-blade prop would cost. If that mod is even allowed on this 310… Well, nice work! How many hours on each engine, and on the airframe? Yeah, from what you had shown, corrosion seems negligible. I just hope nothing rusted inside the 470s, but short of a weekend (kidding) of splitting the crankcase, cross your fingers, eh? Is this your new toy, or are you getting it prepared for a sale?
