That engine sounds smooth and healthy. You can bet they put their best builder on that one and that all the specs were spot on and double checked. An old mentor of mine taught me that “Complacency Can Kill”. I have never forgotten that. Blue Skies.
As a nobody in the TH-cam comments section its nice to see someone doing it right. No chute required, no glory wanted or views, just a guy getting back in the saddle (after getting the sh*t scared out of him) to do something he loves and sharing it with us. The anxiety for the first trip back up in the air must have been hard to press through and not that enjoyable. But you did it, and having to stop worrying about something out of your control and actually get back to enjoy the flying will be great. You are also showing the younger gen that are coming up that an engine out never has to end bad if you train for it.
I know this was all a year ago, but great job on the emergency landing when the engine self destructed. I'm glad that the shop made it right for you. They got off easy as they would have been a lot of trouble if the aircraft had been damaged, something on the ground had been damaged or their had been injuries. Compared to what could have been replacing an engine is cheap. Glad everything worked out and you are back in the air. 😀
Being an A&P, having overhauled this model engine for 50 years along with general maintenance on this model 210, you have a good plane. Not much chance of having two “bad” engines. Enjoy. Sweet model.
Great job. I was very impressed how you handled the engine out during takeoff. And I've been super impressed the way you have handled getting the airplane back in the air. It was great to see the engine shop completely stand behind their work. And it's great to see that beautiful bird back in the air. Enjoy your 210 and stay safe!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride and not having any music. I like the sounds of the plane, the rushing air and your comments. I look forward to your next flight!
Worked on the 210 quite a bit, and he's a marvelous ship. The landing gear,, I always called them hornet gear,, the way they hang just like the bee hornet. Amazing the suspension they give, even during severe crosswind landings, one foot at a time touching while going sideways. Boy do they dance. Being pretty fussy with wiring under the panel, Sure enough I redid his rats nest, and being upside down for hours while under deep into panel is not fun. Your hands come out all cat scratched to death from the hundreds of wire ties. But's it's always beautiful in the end. No stray wires anywhere. I have to admit, I thought the engine spun a rod bearing,, as in too tight, if not certified by plastic gauge to confirm clearance. It sure was a shame to see that much damage, and that engine new with nothing on it has to be roughly 20K$, maybe much more now, when they came from Bolduc Engine supply. A small 4 cylinder was almost 9K$. Bare to the bone. Well you certainly have a great ship now. You'll have close to 2000 hrs on him within a year. Cheers
I think the bad engine maybe had bad bearing clearance or maybe the bolts weren't torqued properly during assembly, the oil pressure was steadily coming down until it grenaded. Whatever the issue ended up being though, glad you landed it safely (almost better than this video haha) and the shop stood by their work replacing everything! Excellent videos! Enjoy your time flying sir
I am an automotive machinist by trade. I have no performed some machine work on aircraft engines a few times. Mainly dynamic balance tests on the engine rotating assembly. Knowing these engines are air cooled and heavily relying on oil to keep the engine operating temperatures down, I would never advocate someone running contaminated engine oil. Used oil coolers and lines? Never even in a car. One other detail to keep in mind that will speak volumes on a shops abilities and knowledge is red shop tags. If you see someone wiping down internal engine parts with red shop rags you are in the wrong shop. While many people will claim they’ve used them a million times with no issues. One time is all it takes and I’ve seen the fibers from red shop rags completely plug up oil passages. It doesn’t take much. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Great news on the parachute & fire extinguisher! Did you remember to swap out the new engine for a "parts" engine and disconnect the empty wing fuel tanks and let the interior fuel selector switch dangle freely? Do you have enough of Uncle-Ernie's ashes to sprinkle on top of Mt Everest? Check! Awesome! 🤣🤣
Ballsy flying with NO parachute 🪂 😂 Congrats on being back in the air! Hope everything looks good from the break in and kudos to the shop for doing what’s right.
Hey Edward, I'm from northern Germany/Rhauderfehn and found your channel because I'm very interested in documentaries like you do😀. I would be very happy if you continued this documentary journey with an open end....✊ you can really bring it across authentically and that inspires me👍👍, because many can't do it that way! it would also be a great thing for me if we could maybe get to know each other personally, because I think that you are a great guy by nature and really likeable.... 😉 in this sense I wish you many good flights with your 210 and of course always happy landings.....😉✊✊✊😀 many greetings from Germany/Rhauderfehn 🙋 Kuno Lühring
By weird coincidence, as another guy from Germany just 25 km away (Augustfehn) I also really enjoyed this video and the ones before it... very down to earth reporting, thank you for that!❤
Thank you for letting us ride along - proud father of a 737 FO, and impressed with your emergency handling skills. Fly safe - it's a lot less paperwork that way.
Glad to see the power-plant hold together this round. If this one had taken a dive, I would have suggested that you consider taking up another hobby :) Please keep us updated on oil consumption, fuel burn rates, etc, as she breaks in.
I'm happy for you that the engine is "round". Probably I would take sometime to regain confidence as well, but the bottom line is that was a lot learned from the previous event and that experience is so valuable.
Edward...thank you for your great videos. Not sure how I found your initial video, but have followed this incident, and am very thankful for your survival! I have always wanted to learn to fly. Having rudimentary flight knowledge from AFJROTC, I found myself in a Cessna 421, twin engine, low wing plane flying across the Grand Canyon. I wound up next to the pilot and somehow he let me fly for a few minutes. I 'bout shat myself, but held it all together. Anyways, my obstacle to flying has always been my size. I truly appreciate you being a "person of size" as they call us these days, being a pilot. I will keep my dream of one day maybe flying, but for the time being, Southwest is my chauffeur! Fly safe brother!
I am an auto technician and never worked on anything that flew. Cars you can pull to the side of the road. Planes on the other hand do not have that feature. I understand the pucker feature you alluded to. Glad the shop stood behind their work.
It's good to see that the 310hp stuff works again, Ed. The high speed taxi test, and the full power static test you mentioned as well, is the best part of this video, which basically ensured safety of this test flight. Then the engine shop who took the mistake and fixed the problem, together with your courage to do it again, finally makes this happen - Bravo! Here I want to ask for your permission to re-share this series (the failure, the analysis, and this one) to another site call "Bilibili" since youtube links are not available out there - those videos are quite technical, informational, educational and inspirational... May I? (oh sorry, with credit to your name for sure) Thanks again, and keep safe, more videos pls.
As a private pilot who has suffered an engine-out, it's normal to feel a bit squirrely after such an experience. After all, it is an experience that puts our lives in danger. I was able to land on a closed runway within gliding distance about 30 miles from my normal field because my basic flight training included endless surprise power-offs (by my instructor) after which I had to glide down to within 100 feet of a suitable emergency landing field before climbing away. The lesson was to always have a suitable spot within gliding range, which required me to choose a flight path and sufficient altitude to land safely wherever I was. I was happy for that training because the day my prop stopped my first reaction was to head for the field I had already noted, just in case. Even so my blood pressure jumped!
My dad had to make a dead stick landing in a Piper Cub once in a cotton field. He got out, slammed the door and never flew again as a pilot. I'm amazed that they are still using flat tappet cams and lifters after the success of roller cams in ground transportation. There is no break-in, no expensive zinc loaded oil requirements, much less friction and very efficient. At least they should offer a conversion kit as they do for cars. Glad you are back in the air, mucho cahonies!
Hey ED, YOU are a lucky man.ENJOY your airplane,count your blessings, in that YOU did all the right things and made all the right moves. Give thanks that you made the right connections with the help of good friends and found the shops you used. If you feel that it is the right thing to do, let us in on who your engine shop is. Good honest people are hard to come by. Thank you for sharing your flights and the follow up to your service with your airplane.
I gave really enjoyed your videos. I worked for and with my cousin for about 2 years a couple years ago, he had a nice farm and 13 rental properties, between the two, it made for some long days, and we talked alot, when he wasnt busy flying C-130s, for the national guard at time. I used to love hearing his stories and seeing his pictures, of all the places he had been, a few tours over seas, he had got to see and do alot flying. A few years ago he got offered a job in Arkansas actually teaching new pilots, how to fly C-130s, and went back to active duty, hopefully till he retires. But when he took the new job, he had to leave WV, and sell the farm. Im just glad we got the chance to get closer, more like brothers than just cousins. I have been lucky enough to fly a few times, when i was in Civil Air Patrol, as a teenager, and over the years, taking my kids, and renting a plane to ride around over the house, for a hour or two, is how much ive got to enjoy that kinda stuff. Your videos have brought back alot of memories, i am so glad you are able to tell it, that everything turned out good and safe, thanks for the break down, really good information, how you broke it all down, i sent your videos to my cousin, to watch, cant wait for his response. Best of luck out and up there, and again thanks.
You know, there's something about a big Continental at idle. I just love that sound! From everything I saw, it sounds and looks like you've got a good engine. Of course, you said it was a new or rebuilt engine, a zero-timed one? I would assume that's going to be pretty reliable. As to the Trevor jokes, he's NEVER going to live this down. I can't wait to see what the FAA does to him.
Edward, great job on documenting all this. Your analysis and video angles make your series more addictive than any Netflix show! Glad the shop’s taking care of you and you’re back in the air. Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on the new engine. I am glad the shop did the right thing. As I recall they were in denial at first. Dang counterweight. Fly safe and take care...
Excellent 2 part series and top notch builder, I once had a motor that too didn't hold it's muster my story didn't turn out so well but I learned my lesson.
Great to see you and her flying again. Very informative set of videos on this experience. I was glad to hear that the shop that did the overhaul work stood behind it.
Really glad to see that bird in the air with all cylinders running strong! I don’t blame you for being super cautious on your maiden flight with the new engine. Keep it flying high, fast and often!!! 🛫🛬
It's been a few years since I have flown into Tracy (I flew out of Buchanan). I admire your airmanship and calm through all of this. There used to be a C-150 at the flight school there (63500) - I soloed in it, then later taught in it and soloed my buddy in it. I doubt if it is there any more. I'm glad the shop stood behind their work. Zero time is good... except in our log books. Ha! Rubber side down!
ty sir, great stuff. There are bold pilots and old pilots, not so many old bold pilots. Flew f4s back in the 60/70s in se Asia. Every flight a success due to my being terrified enough to cover the basics++ and repeating everything, time allowed, at least twice. Peace and good thoughts. Once I wore a parachute, now I wear a cord attached to a parachute. 🤦♂️
Happy to see the 210 running again...and looks like the first flight went great. P.S. That was a cool article about you in the EAA Sport Aviation magazine.
Great job documenting your engine problems. Fantastic ADM on the landing!!!!! Did they ever figure out why the engine blew ? strictly metal fragments? I'm sure you feel like a veteran plane owner now? Could a better Pre Buy prevented this?
Hey man, u fly airplanes long enough and something’s going to happen. I have 2000 hours and 2 emergencies. One a nose gear crush. And another with fuel freezing in a Chicago polar vortex. Not to mention an autopilot failure and a G600 failure at 20,000 feet. Fun. As I’ve told my students, and as many have said before, an amateur pilot is surprised when something goes wrong, a pro is surprised when everything goes right. Way to keep your cool. Be safe.
Great job, I know how it feels to make that first flight after loosing an engine! Happy to see it went well and hope it keeps running for thousands of hours more!
You will enjoy that engine for some time, especially the confidence you will have in it. Excellent Engine Shop to stand behind their work, even though not directly responsible. And Edward, I think you handled the situation very well, especially not pointing fingers publicly. You were in a very uncomfortable financial position and you handled like a pro -- As did the engine rebuild company. Very well done video and much to be learned from it. Be Safe out there and play nice.😇
I know that must feel amazing, Edward. So glad to see it's flying as it should. Seems they stood behind it and did what they said. :) Can't wait for the next video, sir.
Only thing I question is the high speed taxi which prolonged the ground time on a brand new rebuild. To avoid glazing the cylinders you want the aircraft on the ground for the shortest amount of time possible and then you want to climb it hard and make her work... once you glaze them it's almost impossible to get the rings to seat. Let us know how your oil consumption has been over the first 50 hours smoh.
Yeah I've been watching you for awhile I remember when you had the engine problem thank God there was a wrong way close by well so far it's looking pretty good you take care and God bless🙏 happy flying🛩👍👍👍
Thanks for all the great comments. I should clarify, other than a tandem rig, I can't find a parachute that fits.
Kudos to the engine rebuilder who stood behind his work! Great flight!
I agree! Great accountability and ownership. That’s the people you want on the job.
That engine sounds smooth and healthy. You can bet they put their best builder on that one and that all the specs were spot on and double checked. An old mentor of mine taught me that “Complacency Can Kill”. I have never forgotten that.

OUTSTANDING THAT ENGINE SHOP WAS A STAND UP GUY COOL THAT HE WARRANTEED EVERYTHING GOOD DEAL HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE
Thanks for sharing dude!! So glad it worked out well in the end!
Great airmanship for your initial emergency, I bet your CFI is smirking with pride

WHEW!!! Glad your flight went as planned!!! 👍🧙🏼♂️
I just watched all 3 videos. Great story, well told. Good luck

TH-cam randomly recommended me your video and I am glad I watched it lol, went through and watched everything from engine out forward
It looked good , hopefully the inspection afterwards was good. Nice job.
So happy the Pucker Factor dropped a bit and seemed like a successful flight. Glad for ya
My dad had to make a dead stick landing in a Piper Cub once in a cotton field. He got out, slammed the door and never flew again as a pilot.
I'm amazed that they are still using flat tappet cams and lifters after the success of roller cams in ground transportation. There is no break-in, no expensive zinc loaded oil requirements, much less friction and very efficient. At least they should offer a conversion kit as they do for cars.
Glad you are back in the air, mucho cahonies!
Flat tappet reliability with proper break in cannot be matched by roller cams. They are more efficient but it's another point of failure.
Nice work! Student flying out of PAO. Been to TCY several times for training. Hopefully checkride in Feb.
Glad you got her back in the air!
Breath a sigh of relief man.
Congrats Ed! Pucker, no more and blue skies !!
GUMP is good 👍

You are a really really brave man to do this again 😅
Way to hang in there Edward. Very informative, please keep up the videos.
I gave really enjoyed your videos. I worked for and with my cousin for about 2 years a couple years ago, he had a nice farm and 13 rental properties, between the two, it made for some long days, and we talked alot, when he wasnt busy flying C-130s, for the national guard at time.

Where in WV are you?
glad they stood by the work and fixed things. great plane and videos :)
That was fun and informative, well it was for me from the comfort of my chair 1ft off the ground..
the avionics are great. And nice to see her flying again
Glad you are back in the air! Good conservative post maintenance flight. Happy for you!
You know, there's something about a big Continental at idle. I just love that sound! From everything I saw, it sounds and looks like you've got a good engine. Of course, you said it was a new or rebuilt engine, a zero-timed one? I would assume that's going to be pretty reliable.
As to the Trevor jokes, he's NEVER going to live this down. I can't wait to see what the FAA does to him.
Edward, great job on documenting all this. Your analysis and video angles make your series more addictive than any Netflix show! Glad the shop’s taking care of you and you’re back in the air. Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on the new engine. I am glad the shop did the right thing. As I recall they were in denial at first. Dang counterweight. Fly safe and take care...
For the catqstrophic engine failure, he actually took care of it right away
I like the way you fly: with your head UP and OUT of your posterior.
Oh man! I was on the edge of my seat! Congrats on your Part Deux. Stay safe!
Excellent 2 part series and top notch builder, I once had a motor that too didn't hold it's muster my story didn't turn out so well but I learned my lesson.
Congrats Ed! Must be a great feeling
Nice that you're back up in the air!
Sounds like the shop threw the absolute lot at this one. Let’s hope this one’s a goer.
Aside from the legal factor your guy did the right thing to make right what could have had a fatal outcome.. I'm glad things are OK
Tower,this is "PUCKER FACTOR 1",,,,,,over,,,,,,LOL
i was looking forward to see this recap im glad it went better this time
If I ever have to operate an engine after major work I have decided that will be a good time to practice a few rejected take offs before going up.
Yeah!!! Those 310 horses sound so awesome on take off!
Love this playing guy, thanks for making the video!
Great to see you and her flying again. Very informative set of videos on this experience. I was glad to hear that the shop that did the overhaul work stood behind it.
Glad to see you up in the air again!
Glad this went so well... I can feel your pain and anguish. Hopefully overtime you'll learn to trust that engine again.
Wow. that's a relief well done.
Really glad to see that bird in the air with all cylinders running strong! I don’t blame you for being super cautious on your maiden flight with the new engine. Keep it flying high, fast and often!!! 🛫🛬
The suspense was killing me.. I can only imagine how puckered up you were. Good luck with new engine bro.
It's been a few years since I have flown into Tracy (I flew out of Buchanan). I admire your airmanship and calm through all of this. There used to be a C-150 at the flight school there (63500) - I soloed in it, then later taught in it and soloed my buddy in it. I doubt if it is there any more.

Great job , I’m very happy for you.
Happy to see the 210 running again...and looks like the first flight went great. P.S. That was a cool article about you in the EAA Sport Aviation magazine.
LOL, loved the parachute comment! Great to see you're aircraft is back in business.
Great job documenting your engine problems. Fantastic ADM on the landing!!!!! Did they ever figure out why the engine blew ? strictly metal fragments? I'm sure you feel like a veteran plane owner now? Could a better Pre Buy prevented this?
man what a community. calling in to check on you :) how very kind and thoughtful!
The folks on the airport are amazing, it really is a great community
Everything looks good! Blue skies and happy flying!
Hey man, u fly airplanes long enough and something’s going to happen. I have 2000 hours and 2 emergencies. One a nose gear crush. And another with fuel freezing in a Chicago polar vortex. Not to mention an autopilot failure and a G600 failure at 20,000 feet. Fun.
As I’ve told my students, and as many have said before, an amateur pilot is surprised when something goes wrong, a pro is surprised when everything goes right.
Way to keep your cool. Be safe.
Great job!! Yeah, the break in hour or diamond making period is all behind ya. BLUE SKY!!
Great job, I know how it feels to make that first flight after loosing an engine! Happy to see it went well and hope it keeps running for thousands of hours more!

I’m glad that this engine situation came out really good for you. And that’s one hell of a nice plane. Great video. Thanks
I know that must feel amazing, Edward. So glad to see it's flying as it should. Seems they stood behind it and did what they said. :)
Can't wait for the next video, sir.
Only thing I question is the high speed taxi which prolonged the ground time on a brand new rebuild. To avoid glazing the cylinders you want the aircraft on the ground for the shortest amount of time possible and then you want to climb it hard and make her work... once you glaze them it's almost impossible to get the rings to seat. Let us know how your oil consumption has been over the first 50 hours smoh.
Glad your back in the air again. I did that race track break-in in my Centurian 2 times!
Great plane you have there.
Looking great!
Glad things are going way better than last time :) Hope that continues!
Like your style! Now it's time for TH-cam trips!
So happy for you! It has to be very satisfying to get that first hour in! Looking forward to when you post some more awesome trips!
Nice. Glad you're up and flying again! (collective sigh of relief...)
The only thing missing on your test flight was the tech that put the new engine together.
Hi Edward, congratulations on getting back into the air, may you have many happy hours with your new engine.
This was before the AD on the circlips coming out? Great videos. Nice recovery after engine failure.
It sounded sweet when you took Off..
Engine sounds nice and strong. You have log a good amount of time as a test pilot. Hopefully u regain your confidence in the 210 again
Yeah I've been watching you for awhile I remember when you had the engine problem thank God there was a wrong way close by well so far it's looking pretty good you take care and God bless🙏 happy flying🛩👍👍👍
I meant to say this after watching the preceeding video of your engine failure...you are cool as a cucumber.
Props!
Pun intended 😅
