    I bought a $500,000 airplane that was abandoned for 11 years and it looks rough, but can we get it to start? This Cirrus SR22 sat abandoned at Frederick Municipal Airport in Maryland collecting dirt and bird nests. After seeing this plane in person I've definitely been second guessing my buy. If the interior, avionics, and engine look as bad as the outside...we're going to be in big trouble.

    I’ve worked as a federally licensed aircraft mechanic for 40 years. The single most important thing you can do is a thorough records inspection. Not only on the aircraft but the engines, propellers and avionics. Each may have Airworthiness Directives issued against them. The second is a thorough annual inspection. Don’t skimp on this inspection as you have no personal history on this aircraft. Most aircraft manufacturers have an aging aircraft inspection that can be done as well and especially where you’re looking at composite materials in the elements for an extended time. It’s an area where you need to put some good focus. Good luck on your adventure. You will certainly get plenty of content from this project. Expensive as it maybe. Enjoy!

    Absolutely loving this video but i used to work with vinyl doing vehicle wraps.. removing those old decals will be an absolute nightmare. We would typically recommend having decals replaced every 4 years to avoid that UV damage which turns the adhesive into a cement so removal will take you probably a few hours. I would recommend getting a rubber eraser wheel which you can attach to a drill and that'll be the easiest and fastest way to get it off.

    Hey guys. I have been with you guys from the beginning. I look forward every week to seeing the next video. You have a really great team. I have a pilot license and have owned six different airplanes in the past, back when flying was kinda affordable. haven't flown in a while. I really miss it. I also have my Glider rating. Since I live near the Blue Ridge Mountains that was a lot of fun. I like Joe better with a beard lol. When I saw him without it I said who is that. I thought he was a new guy. I think you will do great with this airplane. It has a lot of possibilities. I was concerned when you were looking at the engine. Glad it turned out the way it did. I really miss Sam. He was a good man. Keep up the good work. God Bless all of you.

The cables themselves, after sitting in the heat, might lengthen slightly, bearings and pulleys may break - just general wear and tear, exacerbated by the lengthy period in the elements (which can bring a lot of thermal stress into parts). There's a reason Cirruses are almost always kept hangared.
