i don't have a clue what a used airplane like this cost, but now that it's fixed, cleaned and air worthy, it must be at least double the price he spend on it.
I know people that make more than that in a month. It's all about the knowledge and drive you have. Then try to surround yourself will with successful people who you can follow
If you want to stay in the Piper family a Lance or a Saratoga retracts get you more speed. If you are not brand tied a Cessna P210 might tickle that itch better. If you are looking at twins Aero Commander and then you can imagine you're Bob Hoover.
LOL I saw one of his performances at an airshow when I was ~12 y/o. Then later, when I was getting my MEL, his routine crossed my mind a few times. >:}
Someone talked me into going on a trip in a small plane once. Here's what it felt like: you're on top of a piece of plywood hooked up to a car being driven down a dirt road by a drunk.
Be glad you did not hop into a vintage fighter jet. That feels like sitting in a beer can being thrown by a base ball pitcher. And then hit by a champion. Tock! Few! Out of the stadium! Tock! That was mother earth.
@@voornaam3191 its dumb, but my daydream is climbing into a p51d mustang, getting some altitude, and coming down fast behind enemy fighters at 400 mph with 50 caliber blazing away. Dont miss, they shoot back.
I've never seen the interior of a plane look so much like a family car. No wonder the prices are skyrocketing, we could all be flying around this country with our families and shit. That would be sweet.
@@MarybethIUHoosiers Are you a pilot? I imagine you could arrange it to be no more dangerous than flying with family on a regular airliner. That comes at a cost, I'm sure.
I’m a 66 hr non-ticketed pilot. The Cherokee six is the plane for me. Two peeps and some camping gear is fine with me. Cargo door is tops! I love the stable characteristics of that airplane. Fly from A to B call in your approach and flair. Done! Have a nice day.
I've been thinking about getting my pilot's license, so I've been doing a lot of research online. I came across Jimmy's videos a few days ago and I've been watching them quite a bit. Lots of useful information and the guy has a pretty fun personality. I just subscribed, keep up the good work.👍
We had an Aztec in the 80's got rid of that and got a 206 Turbo... Much happier with the 206 and especially living in the southwest desert.. high wing is just a lot more comfy IMO..
Such an awesome story and turnover on this amazing airplane. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Next thing I would definitely do is change out those airplane seats for something more comfortable.
15 years ago I restored a t-tail Lance (paint, panel & interior). That might be a good next project? If you want a little more speed (150-155kt cruise) the Lance/Saratoga is a good choice.
Best channel on TH-cam! Not another car rebuild, will it start, barn survivor channel but an actual interesting and technical channel. Love the content especially the older planes.
Congrats Jimmy, it turn out fantastic. Saw the trade a plane ad, and if I was ready to trade out of my 182, I’d have to come look at it. Just not ready, but you’ve got that one loaded like I would want! I think asking price is right for today’s market, good timing on that! Look forward to the next project, love your channel
You're NOT going to lose money on the plane. you put around 100+Grand into it. You stand to make 50-70k$ on your investment add an additional 8-10k$ on top of that for upgraded avionics. A quick google search shows them going for around 159k$ on the low end and 319K$ for a fully restored Cherokee 6 with upgraded avionics. Honestly, I'm happy that you'll make a profit! Everyone should see the fruits of their labor, just don't piss on me and tell me it's raining. If there was no money in restoring abandoned planes, you wouldn't be doing it.
Owned one with retractable gear. Good combination of load cg. If you stick to utility load rating and are within air density. She will not disappoint. Safe very safe aircraft. Yes it is a truck.
Sounds like a lot of money, but in context the total is under 100k. You couldn't possibly find a Cherokee Six for under 100 grand with the features Jimmy put in.
Great job Jimmy. I bought an Aztec and fixed it up. Pickup truck x2!! Love the plane, does a great job…….but the crawling up the wing not so much. Looking at cheap 340s now. Great watching your progress. You got some guts buddy.
Great plane, I owned 3 of them. My favorite was a 7 seat 300. I flew medivac, freight and tons of my own things. It does have a reasonable conservative flight envelope in calm low altitudes. I have flown many aircraft, piston, turboprop (PT6) and a few jets. The 540 Lycoming is the best. It is the most comfortable AC that I have flown. The big back doors are fantastic. The stability in rough weather is tops. I love the two hershey bar wings over the new tapered long span ones. The prices keep climbing for a reason.
GREAT wrap up. I enjoyed the series. The only thing I don't agree with is your safety number. The plane is safe for ALL the reasons you mentioned but, as usual, it's the pilots that over estimate "their" capability and then they get into trouble. Just like your friend in Utah. Sure it was at max, but a stall occured. Anyway, great series and of courst your next plane rehab. should be a twin. Carep Diem! !! !!!
Flipping with Jimmy, the story of how a young man and his MB turn a out of annual Piper into a full time TH-cam channel. In this episode Jimmy has the lust for speed, as we follow him through his work getting a multi engine rating in his new project Piper twin.
Thanks for sharing your story about the Cherokee 6. I've got about 100 hrs in the 6 and I love that it can haul a ton and it's very comfortable for pilot and passengers. My ATF plane is the twin Comanche but the Seneca would be an interesting project plane.
I surely know what you’re talking about with ‘forgiveness’ and ‘load.’ Even though I’ve flown a lot of oddball aircraft and did all of my ‘quals,’ in a Cassena, the only aircraft that I’ve personally owned was a 46’ Stinson 108-3. It was affectionally known as “The Station Wagon of the Skies.” I bought it for a song, from the original owner. It hadn’t been flown since the late 50’s and I bought it in 1971. It had a very tired and beat-up 165 Franklin in her. I was practically given a Franklin 220 that needed to be rebuilt, which I did myself. Since I had a connection with Edo Corporation, in Manhasset, Long Island, NY, they reworked my pontoons for $500; including shooting them in the Dupont color of the plane itself. That was one epic aircraft.
Jimmy, loved the recap, an outstanding job. If you are looking, may I suggest a Commander 114, around 185 mph more or less, lots of room, wide cabin, retracts and the price is under $100K. Service ceiling is 17,000 and change.
Good job showing telling jimmy about the plane,and doing nothing is wrong not good so you like doing the plane’s do it to it. but rest don’t over do it so keep on flying see ya next time see ya bye.
That is a great aircraft - GREAT for aerial photography with the door off - good with the 300 - the 260 is LAME. Your 16 g[h seems high - do a bit of leaning. Enjoy ! JR
Jimmy, does the wing on this Piper fall under the recent AD for the installation of the wing inspection plates and the required inspection of the wing joints for stress fractures? Did you have to do those? If not, why not?
I love the way you work and are so efficient at diagnostics. You need a former aviator handy with tools and methods to help you like me!! Your 'kid' is amazing in the videos and so knowledgabal!
What if the engine fails he's brave I still don't like these ideas fix them flying them ofter years later I think it with have mechanical issues in air ur brave
I've recently happened upon your videos, and subscribed. I love what you are doing, and your love for aviation. You have a likeable personality, and good presentation. "Down to Earth" with your head in the clouds... Adding the family is the best part! Keep em coming and good luck on gaining more viewers! I'm sharing your stuff to help...
Good job Jimmy, this is awesome. Man this is so cool to fly and to have your own build bird to fly. I would love to pass my PPL and start flying too but that seems to be a dream for the moment.
Jimmy, I enjoyed watching the restoration. Maybe you could show how to put all the speed mods on the plane that will make it faster and more efficient.
Thanks for the rebuild blog. It was fun to watch. Good luck with selling it. You will have a great set of videos for the perspective new owner to watch before they buy. My opinion on the new plane would be a Cessna 310 but I guess I am biased.
Thanks so much! To go slow I pull it back to 21in 2350 rpm and burn around 12.5gph, if I'm trying to get someplace, 23in 2400rpm and thats around 14gph
How about a "safe" fun twin like a Cessna 310... rebuilt glass cockpit... cost to purchase, rebuild, and maintain. I am a 40 year retired airline vet and would love to get into a nice twin but man... to go back to steam driven is asking a lot of an old guy! 310 is only a suggestion... cuz I think it looks cool and I know you can get them at a good price, but a 340 like you mentioned (my #1 wanna have but not in Fred Flinstone mode) or even the Seneca.... I did my IFR in 1976 in a Turbo Seneca... nice little bird.
All great planes that are on my short list. It all comes down to the deal I can find. If you find any send me an email. I'll gladly offer a finders fee :)
Hey Jimmy, Thanks for the awesome channel! Love the humor (of which the subtler parts are not lost on me :)) and your resourcefulness. May I suggest now that you have built out the "airborne suburban" how about an "airborne boxter"...say a Beech 35 or even a B55 twin? At any rate, all the best!
Fantastic work & congrats! It has been great seeing you do this. Found you channel via your crazy "Look at this Lear fighter trainer you can buy for $150k" style videos and have stuck around for this kind of content. Think you need to keep doing both to get those new eyeballs and keeping them - you seem to have found the way to name your videos and get TH-cams algorithm to work for you :) I'd love to see a video on the real running costs.
Jimmy, thank you for sharing and documenting this entire process. The educational value is enormous. However, in hindsight, was the $45,000 sale price overvalued? Given how many things had to be fixed just to get it off the ground after so many years, it seems the seller made a fortune on what was once yard clutter. Maybe “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” applies here.
JUST LS SWAP!! 🍻🍻😁😁 I'm serious, in the future it will cost more to fix the lycoming/ continental engine, the ls might be less reliable but it give you more power and cheaper repair costs 😏😏, but overall its a great plane.
Jimmy why dont you build a plane like a Vans RV10? Install a aero momentum am20t engine for a fraction of the cost. Then you will have a fast plane with an all glass pannel. Why keep messing around with these old planes?
So assuming you rebuilt it to someday sell the question of the maintenance logs comes up. Who made the required log book entry's and FAA form 337's? Are you an A&P or did you hire an A&P to sign off everything? How was the annual signed off? Looks good. Nice choice of avionics
Great question. I answer that in another video (look for the thumbnail of me in a suit) and yes, I was working closely with an IA to keep everything legal.
Have you not heard that to make a small fortune in aviation is to start out with a big one? And if God intended men to fly He would have given him more money. So, you braggin' or complainin'?
I have a lot of "six" time and solo with low fuel, you are pushing the nose up trim limits. I once had a local flight out of Colorado Springs with five passengers who wanted to fly over Pikes Peak (14,410 feet) to scatter grandpa's ashes. They were in a shoe box that would barely fit through the apple core window on the left. Well, half way out the box bent in the middle, the lid flew off and grandpa's ashes were blown back into the cabin.
This illustrates the old saying,”The way to make a small fortune in aviation is to start with a large fortune”.
i don't have a clue what a used airplane like this cost, but now that it's fixed, cleaned and air worthy, it must be at least double the price he spend on it.
@@3DPeter But, WHY? Who is telling you what a plane is worth? Marketing is like psychiatry, is it? Prizes are insane!
Ive heard that from boat owners
@@3DPeter and half of what he spent
That’s a companion statement to “if you wanna be a millionaire in racing start with 10 million “

Suggest a C150 but throw in at least 140 HP. Front canards would be a nice touch as I have never heard of one out there so equipped.
very cool!
Medical supplies. Aka That sweet cocaine.
And I thought building a hot rod was expensive this is next level shit
So assuming you rebuilt it to someday sell the question of the maintenance logs comes up. Who made the required log book entry's and FAA form 337's? Are you an A&P or did you hire an A&P to sign off everything? How was the annual signed off?
Looks good. Nice choice of avionics
Great question. I answer that in another video (look for the thumbnail of me in a suit) and yes, I was working closely with an IA to keep everything legal.
300 BTU's in the Engine??? Did he mean HP?
Have you not heard that to make a small fortune in aviation is to start out with a big one? And if God intended men to fly He would have given him more money. So, you braggin' or complainin'?
HAHAHA, that's awesome!
is everything beyond 2,000 dollars in aviation in general? and who come out with this numbers 💸😅
for the certified airplanes, yes... it's really dumb... lol
Cool video. After burning a Hunsky on this plane, what's it worth? $175?
I hope so! lol
I always wanted to learn how to fly I'm just s poor boy living vicariously through you so keep me flying
Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video!
Want to go faster? Buy a WW2 SPITFIRE, 300 KNOTS PLUS ? !!!!!!!
very cool!
Lovely looking aeroplane 😎👍
Good job captain 👨✈️ and I enjoyed.
Jimmy go big go Comanche 400!!! Hell get me a sleeping bag and three meals a day and I’ll go help you !!!
heck yes!
Your kids look unimpressed, tell us the truth lol
I have a lot of "six" time and solo with low fuel, you are pushing the nose up trim limits. I once had a local flight out of Colorado Springs with five passengers who wanted to fly over Pikes Peak (14,410 feet) to scatter grandpa's ashes. They were in a shoe box that would barely fit through the apple core window on the left. Well, half way out the box bent in the middle, the lid flew off and grandpa's ashes were blown back into the cabin.
very cool! hahahaha
