“It’ll be fine” was his last words… Should be on his headstone! Love the content and I hope your son gets his license and you both get to fly beside each other! ❤
haven’t watched your channel for a while. impressed by your sense of humour, thoroughness & mechanical preparation. “the engine & undercarriage of more concern than the frame”. really liked the plug cleaner/tester demo. “your concern about cylinder temperatures during takeoff.” what a way to end with solo test flight & 90deg bank!
21:13 to 21:42 - sounded like it was the stall warning was going off, but I think it was electrical interference into his radio... might want to see if a radio wire is routed with a power wire or the shielding is damaged.
Love this channel....Jimmy, you are something else....."it'll be fine." You have quite the stable of airships. Hopefully, your son will be flying soon himself.
@Golf Foxtrot who knows, these TH-cam ppl come and go all the time, maybe he spent to much money, maybe family issues who knows, youtubers come and go all the time so chill out!!
Good to see you back, obviously you had to spend time at home with the family, you're one bad airplane purchase from not having to worry about that next year.
G'day, Regarding the Headphone Noise while idling and Preflight Checklisting...; my speculation is that you're maybe hearing Radio Frequency Interference emanating from the Alternator's Regulator - as you sit there at low RPM, Radios on, Ignition consuming Current but the Alternator turning almost too slowly to make sufficient Current to run it's own Field Exciter Circuit... So as the Battery Voltage drops the Regulator is pumping as many Amps as it can feed into the Stator Coils, trying to produce a Field sufficiently strong as to generate Current anyway..., because that's what the (Voltage) Regulator on an Alternator is built to do. And my guess is that somewhere in that Circuit there's some Sparkage occurring which produces a bit of Radio Frequency Interferance which somehow avoids the Ignition-Noise Suppression Technology built into other parts of the Electrical, Radio, and Intercom Systems. It's a complicated guess, but it might perhaps possibly be not entirely wrong (?) ! Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
Went to Fantasy of Flight today, lived in Winter Haven for over 5 years yet it was the first time I visited the Museum. Kermit Weeks owns 180 aircraft, we got to see maybe 15. It is about as close to you as it is to me. I really appreciate all that you are doing to bring so many planes back to life. I flew for over 40 years but did not have the desire you have to bring back the abandon. Keep up th good work so we may live the adventure you are creating.

@@dr.d.h.derkazarianphdmphms413 Wow, you certainly got into it. Did fly some part 135, had opportunity to co-pilot a Citation and go further but I owned a building construction company so my flying was part time. My son over time owned 3 helicopters so I was able to get in some rotary wing time. Was so fun to be able to land in your back yard. Got my private in 1965. Haven't flown now for maybe 7 years.
Ok Jimmy, I have an idea. Find a piece of property of course to stage the plane. Get it all repainted and updated inside. Then do electronics to make it the largest simulator in the world. Have the windows turned into tv screens that would make it appear you are in the air. Maybe even have the plane on a platform that would coincide with simulator to recreate taking off, landings, turbulence, etc... Make it one of the coolest airbnb’s (pun intentional) ever created. I’d pay to experience it. My imagination would run wild with it.
You have a noise, remove everything that is not part of the aircraft, test run it if the noise is gone, you need to pack the things you carry better. If it is still present, you need to look for things that mite be getting loose, control rodes , hinges , interior trim panels, wiring harness , battery box and covers , or just wait until whatever it is falls off.
18:19 - More fuel does indeed cause an engine to run cooler but this is called a rich mixture rather than a lean mixture which is what you stated. If you lean the mixture of fuel vs air this causes an engine to run hotter. The best way to go about making changes to the air fuel mixture would be trying to aim for the ideal stoichiometry for the fuel you use in relation to the forever changing atmospheric air density i.e. the higher you clime the less air there is to combust with the fuel.
@Jimmys World - For originality purposes, why not keep the gauges the way they are? Anyone can install new gauges, but keeping the original gauges, now there's something very special and it has value. :)
I'll mention it again. Get one of those scrap jet fuselages, and auto body it into a party bus. A guy did a Lear jet, you can see it on youtube, he's asking $5,000,000 for it. He put way too much in it with disco lighted floor, and ceiling no less. You put $50,000-$75,000 into it, get it good looking, and street legal you'd easy get$500,000-$1000,000 from a limo company. If I had the money I'd do it just to sell it to buy one of those under a million dollar jets to donate to that flight school that helps military pilots get their civilian rating. This is a straight forward "get 'er done" project.
E-MAG P series electric ignition is hands down the way to go. Easy install, cheap, crazy amount of spark … highly recommended!! Experimental only though 😢
Howdy, Jimmy! Just want to say I love your enthusiasm and commitment for vets. I'm working on my PPL with the hopes of being able to take my dad up one day. He's retired AF but at the rate I'm going, I might not be able to get it soon enough. (DPE's are hard to find available out here.) Dad started building a Pazmany PL-2 when I was just a kid, and I'm hoping to finish it but I need to learn the skills first. Thankfully, I've got some friends here who know how to buck rivets and all that stuff and are happy to teach me. Blessings to you, sir!!
I've always been in love with the Lancair, especially the four-bangers, as they seem the most reasonable and good bang for the buck. Not saying, that a a couple of wings strapped to a TSIO-550 wouldn't have its own appeal. But then, one can always go full Garrett 😂 It's just a matter of available cash. No, seriously, the four-pot Lancair seems great, even if money is factored out.
Good for you Silas! My son wants to be a pilot so we kicked him out of the house. He is about to finish his instrument rating this month at Polk State. “Clear Prop!”
Jimmy, You know its a fast airplane when you add 10 or more degrees of flaps to take off. Congratulations on the pass on the annual. I am still waiting for my annual to pass on my Ercoupe.
Jimmy - Another great video Sir!! Your homemade plane already better than new ones w/sticker on it! And more importantly, you know who made it!!! Thanks Buddy for all the effort w/Plane & Video!!
As your younger family members learn to fly I would suggest learning how to fly sailplanes. TH-cam carrier guys are always talking about using rudder/feet in stalls. A cfi named Jerry Benz spent a long time patiently helping me with that.
Sparkplug sand blasters can cause sparkplugs to foul quicker than normal. The abrasive etches the porcelain and carbon deposits quickly adhere to the etched part. I would recommend you use a chemical cleaner that removes carbon.. Use a product called "Carbon-Off" If you insist on blasting the plugs heat them thoroughly with a propane torch. This will burn off any oil deposits and help prevent the abrasive from sticking deep down in the plug.
If you will grind down the closed side of side cutter plyers until the bevel disappears, you will be able to eliminate the razor-sharp edge of a tiewrap that is cut with side cutters that have a beveled cutting surface. Cutting hard materials may roll the cutting edge so make the modified tool a dedicated tiewrap cutter.
Hi yah Jimmy I'm to broke to pay attention but not so that I missed @ -5.08 we "leaned" the mix to Allow "More" fuel..yah I'm Old SO WHAT! LOL BTW HAPPY NEW YEAR to you & "yours" .
Hey Jimmy, I've stopped getting any updates from YT about your posting, despite never resetting any notifications, on my part. So glad to see Silas is going for his PPL, and I hope to see you both at SnF '23! Stay in touch, cause we'll love to be your Guber driver again! YanceyMan
That P-51 would be a dream or a Corsair. You have some awesome planes and what you done with helping out with the Floridians hurt from the hurricane. GOD'S pleased with you. GOD bless you and your family. When your son gets his pilot license that would be cool father & son flying buisness.
That is so cool and I luv how you make your own luck in finding these cool planes. Heck I'd be in Heaven with a Cesena Bird Dog as that looks like a fun ride.
"You wanna know the most dangerous flight for an airplane? This one." Last month I flew my plane for the first time with its freshly overhauled engine. Everything went perfect, but I was glad I was taking off to the south and not the north because emergency landing spots are easier to get to if something had gone wrong.
After watching many of your videos I decided to by a used plane, I wanted power and performance. I last flew a Cessna 172 in 1974 out of San Jose International airport, back when you took off right after the jets, it was exciting, I never got my pilots license because of costs, My barn burned down last year with all my projects, cars, motorcycles and lots of tools, so I used the insurance money to buy a plane, a 1981 Mooney M20J Missile, the one with the IO-550, 300 HP go fast engine swap, Thanks for the encouragement, what can go wrong?
many moons ago a friend of the family Rob was building a "cameron" lancair in his back shed here in western australia, i used to mow the lawns then pop into the shed and help with fiberglassing. i never got to see the finished project and never will as Rob was flying east, filled the tanks in SA that night on this leg. He got up early, took off, run out of fuel and plummeted do his death. someone had drained and stole his fuel out from the tanks late that night causing the death of a nice bloke and the demise of a nice plane.
I know of a decent 175 with a prop strike 0300 on it. Guy ran out of money. You could do the o-360 STC on it and sell, or something. Maybe update interior.
Jimmy, I love your channel and your content. I do have to ask........Why the crazy sketchy floor jack set-up when a heavy duty bottle jack can be had for under a hundo??? Keep up the great work and stay safe.
I’ve sent a couple leads for project planes that look like they could fly with minimal reassembly. I never hear back so I don’t know if they aren’t what you’re looking for or if you don’t have time to see all of the messages. I sent a couple emails and one Facebook message on the merch page.
I used to work for Lancair, there was a poster of a 320/360 with a lovely brunette leaning on it that said "Until Ferrari builds an airplane, this is it."
Along with all the new fancy flashy upgrades planned, maybe an electric constant speed prop is on that list? Lovin what you do, good sir. Keep 'em coming! 🤙🏽
Happy New Year hope 23 is great for you and family.. If you ever are looking for something to get more viewers. If you had MFS2020 and Discord you might consider a group flight depending on time of day.. As I am in the UK but would be interesting to see how many of your You Tube followers would like to do a special flight with you from Plant City....Just a suggestion.?
Check out Josh Blair's channel: www.youtube.com/@Blaircraft.Engines
Glad to see that plane flying again . It is a beautifull aircract.
Jimmy, Your videos are my favorite, I love you man!!!!
I think you mean "more rich" for cooling, not "more lean". Leaning can make cylinders more hotter. Love the Ch tho!
“It’ll be fine” was his last words… Should be on his headstone! Love the content and I hope your son gets his license and you both get to fly beside each other! ❤
Good morning..glad you back
Bahaha I just finished watching Josh push trees over and your video pops up! It’s a twofer! Enjoying you both,
Paint and wrap; the weight will slow you dow,, unless the effect of the weight can be cancelled by less drag.
So glad to see your video...been missing Cameron and YOU...!!!!!! Happy New Year Jimmy.... I have learned so much about engines from you...thanks
Happy New Year Jimmy and to all viewers, great too see the videos bk and I can’t wait to see you in the P51.

Jimmy I am unbelievably honored that you named a plane after me I have only flown for around 3 years ppl for two but I am insanely honored
I was using a Champion Spark Plug Cleaner back in about 1964 and it was probably 20 years old at the time.
Jimmy, on that gear operation we use to do a gravity drop and lock test. But that was at the school on an old SNJ trainer.
yep, that is all part of the tests/checks. Originally, this video was over 6 hours.... lol had to edit it down and cut some stuff out...
I heard you won Elvis's plane! Congratulations! Looking forward to the upcoming videos!
Good to see you in one of your favorite aircraft.
Good to go for another year.
Can't wait to see her with all the updates!
