A Cessna 195 that was sitting in Redmond, OR for about 26 year in storage came into the MAS shop. We are working on getting it to be a flyable machine.
The prospect of starting up an aircraft that has been dormant for 26 years is quite a daunting yet exciting endeavor. It's like uncovering a piece of aviation history and reviving it. Proper maintenance, thorough inspections, and meticulous procedures are essential in such cases to ensure safety and reliability.
And I thought the F-104 had serious wing loading! It does my heart good to see folks like you restoring beautiful old machines, especially planes. I can see that this bird is aching to be free again and I wish you well with this worthy project! Cheers and thanks for sharing - Dave from Sydney, Oz
It is getting closer! We have the wings on it and working on the tail gear right now......pretty bad....Changed all the oil and fuel lines and brake lines too. Got a few more things to do before we can taxi, but stay tuned for another video.
After that long in storage isn't the engine out of spec for logs? Doesn't the engine have to be tore down and rebuilt and the engine logs started from scratch?
TheArctictern .did you get her in the air by now? I know you posted last year. Please keep me informed. I love airplanes and helicopters. I'd love to go for a ride. Thank you for sharing your video.
I'm surprised the smoke cleared so quickly. Rings are shaped (at least in diesels) so they expand with the pressure of combustion. Usually they have to get to operating temp to seal.
Ron Willliams I learned to fly in a 140, went on to a 170b and always loved the 195! She looks and sounds great. Look forward to your progress and postings.
OMG! THE PROP IS RUNNING BACKWARDS! RUUUUUUNNNNN FOREST, RUUUUNNNNN! Cool effect how the frame rate stops the prop, dad's friend had a 195 back in the day, coolest single-engine Cessna ever with that big radial.
I see it is registered in Alaska and got registered in 2015 through 2018 so I guess you fixed it well. But that looked like between what it was burning and what it was throwing on the ground the oil wouldn't last long enough to taxi for takeoff.
Owned one for a few years, delivered the Sunday Oklahoman Newspaper to several small towns. It would haul anything that you could stuff in it. The papers for each town wre bundled together and I'd fly over the drop zone at about 20 feet and the guy in the back would kick them out the door. It had the crosswind gear which made flying it interesting.
What a beauty!! A Jacobs has a different sound than a Pratt & Whitney. Great job!! I just started restoring my grandfathers 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. Check out my videos. 👍🏼 Great job on getting her running again.
It would have started first time if he spun it with his arms, and BTW, you have to put some sort of long flat slabs with a teardrop profile hanging from the sides for it to actually fly.
During my "teething years", the mid-'70s, there were two 190's, and one 195, at the airport where I learned to fly, KMQS. When I discovered they were Cessna aircraft, I made the (naive) remark "they can't be Cessna's, they have radial engines". By this point in time, I had damn near 100 hrs in my old man's PA-23 Aztec; the next time we went up, it was in a borrowed Piper Cub, and if memory serves, I was forced to research the history of both Piper and Cessna. (then write a five page report about it)
ROTAXD This was about right for a Jacobs that hasn't run in awhile. My Jacobs blew smoke and thick, black oil out it's exhaust longer than this one did. Normal for radial engines, especially Jacobs with early-style pistons. Oil was very cheap back when these engines were designed and built.
I'm sure there's probably lubricants in the fuel to help lubricate the top end because it hasn't been started in such a long time you know just stay Bill alone will make an engine smoke really bad for a while. And if it had a bad jug or rings then it wouldn't stop smoking!
wait a minute guys, there's something missing on that plane but I just can't put my hand on it. oh wait I think I have it figured out. The reason it won't start is because the fuel tanks are in the wings that haven't showed-up yet. Hope this helps. Is there an A&P around there? The prop appears to be turning backwards but there again, I don't know which way you are going. Beautiful old bird. looking good. Make a good bush plane.
There is a temporary tank of top of the ladder . The prop looks as if it's going backwards , but of course it is not . It's due to the sec rate on the camera .
it had been sitting for 26 years, radials tend to burn more oil than most engines, but yes the ring could have been sticky and allowing oil to bypass. However each time since then we have started it it has gotten much better on this aspect of it. It is also high time too so that doesn't help.
From Wikipedia: The engines fitted to the 190 and 195 became well known for their oil consumption. The aircraft has a 5-US-gallon (19 L) oil tank, with 2 US gallons (7.6 L) the minimum for flight. Typical oil consumption with steel cylinder barrels is 2 US quarts (1.9 L) per hour.[6]
Zuloff, I agree. Maybe there was preservation oil in the cylinders or puddled up in the lower exhaust blowing out upon starting up? There is sure a lot of oil on the pavement, yet the exhaust stopped smoking
What did you do to get it ready? I have a Continental 85 that has been sitting for 13 years. It was running fine when parked. What do you recommend I do to it before starting?
That’s just what Jacobs motors do (at least ones using carbs and mags), ones converted into fuel injection and electric ignition run smoother (and produce about 40 hp more).
Yes we did! In fact we let it sit for about 2 hours and went through it and then as time went on we actually went through the whole thing, changed all the hoses, 3 rocker arms and the oil again. If you see the next video we had the wings on and it actually taxied around the airport under its own power!
barry phillips it‘s called rolling shutter, it‘s when the propeller is spinning so fast that the camera‘s shutter speed cannot capture it fully, giving it the distorted image
That engine is goi my to need overhauled. The amount of oil on the ground from it running is insane. Break out the kitty litter.And it never does quit smoking.
Maybe a Glider Pilot laughing at that silly Contraption someone put in front of a perfectly good plane. And yes, a plane that doesn't need an engine to fly is a Glider. Sailplanes are like Soccer, only Americans say it.
did you have to tear the engine down before you tried to run it? i heard radial's main bearings actually deform if the engine is allowed to sit for long periods of time in the vertical position
No we used MMO in each cylinder to make sure everything was lubed up well, inspected everything, pulled all the rocker covers and made sure nothing was broken there, went through the prop and filled it with oil and got gas to her and she fired up!

Yeah!!! Gotta love those old radial engines. Cessna 195's are still a beautiful old bird. She'll be sweet when you get her finished up!
You gotta love the sound of a radial engine!
It really is amazing just how tough those little engine are ! And they sound so good WOT

Did this A/C come from Eastern Kansas?.have tons of pics of it in it's open T hangar. S
Is it airworthy yet? Flying? Video update please!!!! Best Regards
Cool! I've never seen a Cessna with a radial engine. That's awesome.
I'm surprised the smoke cleared so quickly. Rings are shaped (at least in diesels) so they expand with the pressure of combustion. Usually they have to get to operating temp to seal.
Such a beautiful sound.

I learned early about round engines, no oil on the ground, no oil in the engine.
cool.....good luck with the rest of the restoration.....

cageordie ,
thanks again and I look
I'm
YOWZA - "built in smoke system"! Glad to hear it's "loosening up" - some Marvel Mystery Oil in both the fuel and oil will help out a LOT!
The engine has been restored , the miracle of it fly again !
The cropduster. Definitely killed all the mosquitoes by the shop.
Love the 195, last of the "real" airplanes. Looks, sounds and smells like a real airplane.
Yes they were quality you really can't buy anymore.. Very stable plane even in rough weather.

That Radial helps that feeling of solid reliability
Jim Foreman was the guy in the back Marion Brooks??
And it burns oil at a ratio somewhat higher than my chainsaw.
Beautiful! Congratulations.

Look like the prop have variable pitch, cool.
Very common.
Why does the prop seam like it's going one way,then it's spinning the other way around?.
Love the sound of a "Shaky Jake"!
Cessna never used Jacob engines - exclusively Continentals. They all shake like jake on startup.
@@rogertycholiz2218 Wrong. All 195's used a Jacobs engine.
wow, that thing really hosed down the pavement until he leaned it out...
Almost like the Mags weren't on the first go!
Might take a bag of oilsorb on the ramp too
Never get that burnt oil smell out of the pickup
I get the same feeling about the prop as I do watching someone stand at the edge of a tall building.
??
The edge of a cliff.
On a related note, deaths from falls have gone way up because of selfies.
Good job. Hard work .
i dont care whats wrong with it i just i just love the look and the sound yeeha good on you bobby rout new zealand
It looks like and old beaver is that what it is? If so it's one of the greats Bush planes ever built.
Love those old radials!
It would have started first time if he spun it with his arms, and BTW, you have to put some sort of long flat slabs with a teardrop profile hanging from the sides for it to actually fly.
Always the peanuts in the gallery.
Better check the oil in that shake Jake.....radials usually quit smoking.

AMStationEngineer THANKS FOR the funny story!! Good memories!!!
If you leave any type of car plane truck a long time then it won't go. You were very lucky it did .
Huh?
She's a beauty.
Had an old Camaro that would smoke like that when you first started it. Rubber valve stem seals used on airplaines too?
The wings Boss the wings.
How sweet it is!
I'm thinking maybe a ring stuck in the ring lands ? Smoke should've cleared up sooner even if the motor was fogged before storage.
ROTAXD
This was about right for a Jacobs that hasn't run in awhile. My Jacobs blew smoke and thick, black oil out it's exhaust longer than this one did. Normal for radial engines, especially Jacobs with early-style pistons. Oil was very cheap back when these engines were designed and built.
Sweet, well done lads!
Don't forget to attach wings before takeoff.
B Mc kinda hard to fly without fuel tanks
I'm sure there's probably lubricants in the fuel to help lubricate the top end because it hasn't been started in such a long time you know just stay Bill alone will make an engine smoke really bad for a while. And if it had a bad jug or rings then it wouldn't stop smoking!
Just awesome thanks guys
If you randomly clock forwards along the time bar you can actually watch that pool of oil under the engine get bigger.
Engine sounds great !
took awhile to get all the cylinders firing with fluids on the ground but otherwise looking and more importantly sounding good!
I like the Hamilton counterweight prop
wait a minute guys, there's something missing on that plane but I just can't put my hand on it. oh wait I think I have it figured out.

Why is there condensation or water beneath the cowling in the front I don't understand why there would be water?
Terrific. The Jacobs name is now, alas, largely forgotten. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobs_R-755
Excellent stuff - how's it going? Is it flying yet? Give us an update please.
High speed flutter in the prop!
N1071D...thats awfully close to NC1701D, I'd have called it the Enterprise.
Damn, beat me to it.
Wasn't NCC-1071 the hull number for the _USS Constitution_ ? Or was it the _Defiant,_ both being from TOS?
Glad I wasnt the only one who thought of it lol I had to double check, NCC-1071 was the Constellation.
the Enterprise hull number was NCC-1701
Are you sure the Constellation wasn't 1017? The Doomsday Machine was the best episode! @@microbuilder
@@AzTrailRider57 I just looked again, and you are correct, its 1017 thats the Constellation. Mustve had a bit of lexdysia for a moment there lol
Short but great video thank you
That is awesome!!!!....
Love it man........that’s bad ass
That a Cessna 195 fuselage?! 😍
Whoa I know this hanger. This is at the Colorado Loveland airport!
Wrong, it's in mulino oregon
sounds good love old plane's
So close, it almost took to the air
The 195 was a neat airplane, but the very limited view out the side windows would have me concerned about seeing other airplanes.
Love the buisnessliner!!! Round motors rule!!!
Sweet ride.
Ahhhh .... I can smell it from here .............JRW
Nice
hearing protection?
Skip to 2:36 if you want the start.
Is that oil or fuel that thing pissed all over the ground?
Yes.
Just beautiful! No shut down?
Sweet
Ya think he left enough oil on the ramp?
Are you going to take it to the next 195 convention?
Can you imagine that engine in a truck? I've seen it done!
Nah man in my 4wheeler!
1939 Plymouth.
I've seen one in a custom chopper!🏍
That is one fast shutter. CCD?
Was the engine conserved with oil? Like they do it on turbines?
I'm no A&P but it looks like that was burning oil much longer than just clearing out or a depickle from storage. Bad jug or rings?
it had been sitting for 26 years, radials tend to burn more oil than most engines, but yes the ring could have been sticky and allowing oil to bypass. However each time since then we have started it it has gotten much better on this aspect of it. It is also high time too so that doesn't help.

Zuloff, I agree. Maybe there was preservation oil in the cylinders or puddled up in the lower exhaust blowing out upon starting up? There is sure a lot of oil on the pavement, yet the exhaust stopped smoking
David Null, good grief. That's a lot of "normal" oil consumption per hour.
"A radial engine's three favorite things to do are use oil, use oil, and use oil, in that order."
Wrong Way Feldman ready to fly again!
What did you do to get it ready? I have a Continental 85 that has been sitting for 13 years. It was running fine when parked. What do you recommend I do to it before starting?
Charge the battery. ;-)
Sounds Like It's Got a Weak Barrel,,, ??? Hope Not,,,, But Either Way,,, It's a Beauty,,,,
Probably stuck rings from sitting so long. Not bad enough to be a cracked piston.
That’s just what Jacobs motors do (at least ones using carbs and mags), ones converted into fuel injection and electric ignition run smoother (and produce about 40 hp more).
Is that oil spillage on the ground after the engine run?
beautiful!
Dude! super short wings?
the longer fuselage will make up for the short wings. They checked with the boeing 737 engineers.
I just noticed the wings seem to have been removed from the plane.
turning corkscrew it's a helo o. Its side
What's going on when the pro slows down while cranking, where does the resistance originate from?
As each cylinder passes the compression stroke the starter has to work harder to compress the air/fuel mixture.
Get Er Done!! Go Flying!!
why do the propeller do the thing it do, appearing to reverse and such... inquiring minds want to know.
It has to do with the frame rate of the camera in relation to the RPM of the prop.
Don't you want to stop it and inspect it after a short first run, to make sure that all is going well?
Yes we did! In fact we let it sit for about 2 hours and went through it and then as time went on we actually went through the whole thing, changed all the hoses, 3 rocker arms and the oil again. If you see the next video we had the wings on and it actually taxied around the airport under its own power!
Good to hear! Good job.
They sound so nice! Now, if we could keep that sound and make them enviro-friendly, too, that'd be too good!
AWESOME!
Can someone explain what all the liquid coming from the exhaust is? Is it just water?
it is oil
Perhaps someone can explain how the propeller appeared to be able to spin in one direction then change to other direction.
barry phillips it‘s called rolling shutter, it‘s when the propeller is spinning so fast that the camera‘s shutter speed cannot capture it fully, giving it the distorted image
That engine is goi my to need overhauled. The amount of oil on the ground from it running is insane. Break out the kitty litter.And it never does quit smoking.
There was an evil clown laughing in the background.
James Thompson $k
Maybe a Glider Pilot laughing at that silly Contraption someone put in front of a perfectly good plane.
And yes, a plane that doesn't need an engine to fly is a Glider. Sailplanes are like Soccer, only Americans say it.
What is that smoke coming out of at 11:30 on the engine?
Chemtrails.
That's called "Clearing The Bugs Out", LOL!
So, who got to clean the oil spill??? LMAO!!!
me of course! speedi dry to the rescue!
LOL! The plane looks awesome! Now that it has wings on it... 😉
Thought he was gonna melt the starter
did you have to tear the engine down before you tried to run it? i heard radial's main bearings actually deform if the engine is allowed to sit for long periods of time in the vertical position

Try "Bump starting" it.
