I only went 5 days on “K rats”, during a peacetime deployment during the early development phase of what is now known as JSOC. I was part of a five man USAF element, mixed with some Marines and a couple of Navy guys. We worked on inter service coordination, to try to prevent a repeat of the Desert Disaster of 1980 in Iran. Two things I remember about the rations. One was a “Buffalo chip” cookie. It was never, ever intended to be eaten. It was apparently constructed of an indestructible space-age material, painted dark brown with black pebbles epoxied to the exterior. It had no smell. And you couldn’t break it with a pickaxe. The second was something guys would actually trade away WITH a canned peaches incentive, because they were so vile. A few midwestern guys loved them; I never learned much about their childhoods, but I also believe I’m better off that way. They were called “ham and motherfuckers”. The actual name was ham and Lima beans. The nickname was perfect for the astonishingly disgusting visual you got when peeling the lid back on these beauties. I had a great time with those loopy a-holes, and we did some solid work! Oh. My. God.
Lmao I thought you called your 10yo daughter the 'old girl'... I was like wow another unattainable standard for women hehe. Jokes aside, hopes she becomes a pilot!
@@yellowbags lol no….I’m surrounded by powerful women in my house. The 10 year old came to me the other day with a plan to be an airline pilot…complete with the college she wants to go to to get her aeronautics degree.
I was in the Marine Corps...we deployed to Norway for 99 days, survived on 1st gen MRE's and the Cold Weather MRE's of the 80's the entire time. You don't know what an MRE poop is until you have to do it on the top of a mountain, in Norway, 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
I was in the test battalion at Ft Hood when we first tested MREs for a month (1982?). Considering that we had previously eaten C-Rations in the field, we thought MREs were wonderful!
I.m a Viet Nam Vet who lived off C rations almost all the time that I was in country. Never had a problem with it. Food is food and I was glad to have it. Had other concerns.
Jimmy, you may be doing this backwards. Start from the other end, and put the signal on the wire (Tone). Use the schematic to locate all the wires which are intended to get to the C/B pannel. Then, check the rats nest of CB wires, one by one. ;) This may be a little easier. Also, whenever you locate a wire 'end' away from the Flight Station, put a tone on it, and try and track it, and confirm it against the documentation. all the best! Brian OConnor N32693
I was going to suggest similar - use a tone probe and multiple tone sender units set with different tones to locate wires. Then ohm them out for confirmation. It will save you a ton of time.
MREs are Life savers in and out of the service. I got divorced and poor and was working for $12/hr living in a boarding room trying to save money. I had MRE's for two months to make it through that faux combat experience. Now, even though I don't need them, I keep two cases in the house all the time. When my son comes over to visit (Marine corps) he eats them for snacks. LOL.
Hey Jimmy, love those landing lights. I am a 30 year vet of a large Sheriff's Dept. when we would go to the County garage to fill up and get things fixed on our patrol cars. we would go grab landing lights and replace the crappy alley lights with the landing lights. We would also put the landing lights in our spotlights. Really bright!!
I got my multi in a 1957 310 in 1985. Great plane and a bit of a "tiger by the tail" till you get used to it. Shortly after that, I took it from Crestview, FL to New Orleans. I had never flown it at night and this was a big mistake on my part. On the flight down, I was showing 185 m.p.h. (can't remember the power setting). On the flight back (at night), I was showing around 160 and there was a slight vibration. I checked the gear and flaps and they were both up. At one point the controller wanted to verify that it was a "twin" Cessna! Come to find out, I'd turned off the landing lights after take-off but never retracted them. Due to their large size, they make great speed brakes! Once retracted, the speed went up to 190 or so and the vibration went away. Another interesting thing to note: You can see sparks coming from the over-wing exhaust when it's dark. According to the owner, it's perfectly normal as it's un-burned carbon particles.

Looks like you are just using a multimeter to trace the wire, It seems like it would go a lot faster with a toner. They are used for network tracing, but can be used for individual wires as well. An example is the Fluke Networks Pro3000, but I think you can buy cheap ones at Home Depot as well.
Jimmy, have you ever considered getting yourself a cable tracker like the phone service guys use them (at least over here in good old Europe)? Sounds like they were invented exactly for your problem at 3:48.
Cable toner, network tracer, cable mapper... lots of different terms for them. Those of us who work in IT use them regularly. He should definitely consider using one on this project.
I've done 60 days on C-Rations, and 45 days on MREs. The MRE's are an enormous step up from the C-Rations. In Army boot camp (1981), I had C-Rations with dates on the cans of 1959, before I was born. My experiences were just routine exercises in Germany and Korea.
Oh, the German EPA got better with age, although my oldest (back in '94) was from '86, so basically still brand new. Another guy once picked one up from '74. There was no real difference 🤣
No, once a aircraft has a airworthiness certificate, it is for life, to fly the plane again you would need to perform a annual inspection, make sure all airworthiness directives are complied with, logbook entries done. The patch is not a major repair.
I severed in the Airforce, for a full year in Vietnam, Ben Hoa AFB. I worked a 12-hour shift from 6am to 6am. So, my meals were Breakfast and mid-night chow, which was the same as breakfast. I did have one day off a week, so I was able to get something else besides of powered eggs and rancid bacon. Thanks for your videos. Carl

To answer the MRE question : 2 months, Iraq round 2. We were pretty far forward so didn't have a mess tent around at all for that time frame, so it was MRE fun times for a little around 60ish days. Primary MOS was 63MB9 Moonlighting as a 19D
My dad was in the Army, back when the MRE bags were dark brown. He would come back from field training with several for me and my brother. I think chicken ala king was everybody's favorite. During MY time in the military, I think I went a little over 30 days while deployed. There was one guy who went much longer because he didn't trust any other food while deployed. (We'd sometimes have local food where ever we went). There was some decent ones over the years. Even with some sort of milkshake drink. I retired 4 years ago. I would have nicely accepted the MRE but launched it across the hanger. I haven't been out long enough to try one again. lol Oh, and during one deployment, I got to try several Canadian MREs, which are so much better.
Back in my days, there were C-rations. Things were in cans with a little can opener that was hard on the fingers. They even included a miniature pack of cigarettes with matches. They didn't taste too bad when one was hungry enough. The cigs were good trade material for those who didn't smoke. I was in the USAF too, Jimmy, so we ate those mostly on the flightline when we couldn't get away for lunch. RETIRED FIGHTER MECH.
Hey there Jimmy! Saw the NATO E-3A Component sticker (the new type...) on your fridge while your son was checking his MRE... That Component was my military home for 7 years... I am a proud member of Squadron 1...🤓 Keep up the good work!
@@therealjimmysworld Actually 401 + 310 = 711 Sounds like a sponsorship opportunity to me. This is getting exiting, closing in on engine starts and gear swings! Cant wait!
Nice Cub in the back ground but Whip Lines on a Cub are a bummer. I built a 337 from boxes once, both booms, both rudders, both engines, all the cables plus auto pilot, both main gear, both wings and all the bell cranks. It was insane. But I signed her out. Oh and a complete color change paint job. Lot's a money's. :-)
I’m a Marine veteran and I loved the spaghetti and meatballs in the old MRE’S. It’s been 24 years since I ate my last one. The longest my unit went having to eat MRE’S. Was 80 plus days in the sand box in the 90’s we were supposed to only be out for 45 days but got stuck when our relief unit came and we were told we wouldn’t be leaving.
I went to Basic Training in the US Army in Dec 1986. I was among the first soldiers to sample MREs when they replaced c-rats. Even the Drill Sergeants hadn't tried them yet. My favorites were ham slices and chicken a la king. The dried fruit was pretty good too. That liquid cheese stuff would stop you up but tasted pretty good. MREs eventually had gotten better, and they added tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce which made everything edible.
When I was in the service 40 years ago, we had C Rations. Ham & Eggs you couldn't give away. Enjoy watching your progress on the 310....better you than me.
Jimmy yes I did eat the rashsions, and at 19 or 20 years old living in GERMANY . and out in the fields,in the snow 3foot deep the rashsions we’re great we’ll see ya later I am watching you right now so working on that plane 310 see ya bye.
I was Prince Sultan AB in Saudi Arabia. The first night there, some sort of beetle looking insect crawled out of my chow hall food. So I ate MREs the rest of my 6 months there. Beef stew was my favorite MRE; I broke into a Quonset hut at 2am and stole every beef stew out of there. At the end of the day, there’s nothing like a good MRE 🤣
When I was in Scouts as a kid in the ‘80s our Scout leader was a retired Royal Marine. He used to get us the U.K. ration packs when we went camping/hiking. They had some tinned stuff and a hexi stove as well as dehydrated packets. Best stuff was “Biscuits Fruit”. Or the porridge oats that you would add the apple flakes that were supposed to be a desert to. The modern stuff is much more like your MRE.
Love the content, please don't use over the top cliff hangers like the last episode if the cliff doesn't exist though. It's starting to feel like tv, and there's a reason why tv shows are dying.
Have somebody listen to your videos and write important points down for you to fabricate a note about... Then you wire the note where it needs to be wired to for a... Safety first type of thing... Let's say it's a note that you need to call somebody to look at something.... Write it down and be specific on the Note that you need to do that.,. Stuff like this prevents plane crashes. You've got multiple multiple issues each one has to be checked off one at a time.., make a checklist and start checking things off that you complete.... There ...there ...right there.... very good idea for you. Do that. Catch my drift.,... Make a note to make a checklist.... I used to work at Boeing flight test... I'm a general Machinist...

I had old fashioned c-rats for 31 days. The ww2 ones were almost as good as the koreans. Both were challenges. After a few days you became a pro using your p38 to make a personal stove.
Hi Jimmy. I`ve seen this video the day you posted it. But just today (22/02) I remembered there`s a guy (as old as your 310 owner) that appart from beeing an airline pilot and aicraft mechanic for hobby, that may (or not) help you, if you feel appropriate to hear my (free) advise. It`s Juan Brown , owner of you tube channel "Blancolirio". He didn`t offer to help you, I don`t know him personally, just a thought. I mean, we`re a (aviation) community aren`t we?
The wiring mess brings back nightmares. I’ve worked in datacenter operations and have always written up cable labeling work instructions for staff to follow (label near plug describing what it is to plug into, a label 1” away describing the remote end.
Hi Jimmy, i'm Phil from France, really love your channel and the 310 is my favorite... Have i inderstood you were in the air force? What did you do or fly there? Thank you for the dream and the humour... Love it...
Remember make notes and wire them to everything that the note pertains to.... it's such a load off your brain .....they're made out of sturdy very thin cardboard with a grommet and wire... and you wire them to things.,. I think they're about three and a half by six inches... and have somebody print the note so it's very legible for people to read. Now you walk past the airplane and all the parts ....and you have specific tables,. And workbenches... around that airplane for only parts for that airplane. The notes along with the videos should ensure safety for all... there's an old saying... ideas are like slippery fish they have to be stabbed with a point of a pencil... Meaning write it down or you'll lose the idea or forget it.
Love your content. When I was a kid in the 70s my father was in the military and got cases of sea rations. We would eat them dear hunting. Always got a p38 pack of sugar and a cigarette.
@David Bishop yeah I was in during the 70’s and ate a lot of sea rats. I think that’s where Dr. Seuss got the idea of green eggs and ham. Best wishes to you and your father from an old Gunners Mate.
@NAM CBEO I know you’re right on the “C” part, and I put sea rats in my comment to him. But some of us believed that they took the rats from the port docks and used that to make them sometimes. I still feel the cookie was sometimes the best part though. Here’s wishing you health, happiness and joy.
I wrench on just about anything, but, I’m not a certified mechanic. If I didn’t have to worry about insignificant things, like the lives of the people flying the plane or the people on the ground, I’d volunteer. I spent my Saturday watching the guy doing the 410, washing his plane. How bored do you have to be to watch someone wash an airplane?
31 days in target 157 in Bolivia in 1986. Breakfast, lunch and dinner and I made a deal with the other two EOD personnel to let me have the frankfurters menu the whole time and ate it with bread and cheese the whole time.
Hey Jimmy. When you bent that oil pressure hose it sounds like my back when I get out of bed in the morning. Listening to you guys do the rivets with the bucking bar brought back many fond memories. To be honest I still do some mechanic work at home, but what would normally take a few hours takes me a few weeks even months.
RIVETS: Wing repairs on my old jet used to have to be an electrolytic equivalent of the two pieces of metal they held together. Never use steel rivets on alloy or aluminium. is this still the case?
I can’t quit laughing! You are so funny and Silas is my new hero! Silas - you are a stud! Grizzly - thank you for your service and suffering through 45 days of MREs. My husband and son-in-law feel your pain. Both are Army. Jimmy - thank you for your service! Can’t wait for the next installment of I’m Jimmy and I’m slowly going insane!
Jimmy, in the words of a southern gal I once knew, "bless your heart", you have very enhanced ones from which thy courage doth emanate. May they continue to grow so you make more bad decisions through which I vicariously live, laugh, and love!!!
There is a much faster and easier way to trace the wires. All you have to do is run an extension cord over from the wall and plug a wire in then who ever is at the dash board touches the wires one at a time. They will know immediately which one it is. Easy peasy. I recommend the job of plugging in the wires over the one of touching the ends. Good Luck !
comment now, but Jimmy I love your videos, your series, its technical, its funny, its prime time material. I really love to see this come all together, take care of you and your family and I am looking forwart to see this plane Fly. Also I hope you figure out your issues with your Piper at some point - would be a shame to not being able to use her
The best ration food i have ever eaten are the old canned food from the 70's called rsp from the norwegian army. Hard to get by these days but every time i find it for sale i buy it 👍.
I’ve only had to endure a couple of weeks straight on MRE’s. I was around at the time the Army transitioned from C rations to MRE’s . They were pretty bad compared to what we got when I retired. I remember one that the main course was a dehydrated beef patty. You had to soak it in cold water and eat it cold. The meals didn’t have heaters in them. The beef patty would leave a layer of grease stuck to the roof of your mouth that could be scraped off. A few of them were ok but if you drew a barbecued beef for breakfast it was a little hard to get down sometimes.
Hey Jimmy, the stall warning vane on the 310 is also heated, and is on the same circuit as the pitot heat, you might want to check its operation as well. As to MREs, I got to play in the Nam, we had C rats, and were even issued some K rations dating back to WW2 once. I don't remember how long we ate them continuously, some things are best forgotten. Never had MREs.
Army here, First two weeks in Haiti in 1994 we lived on pure MRE’s. Pretty sure I didn’t crap for 2 weeks, no joke. I lived in a rat infested warehouse with 400 friends and the air force had air conditioned tents on the airfield. I also watched them land a C-130 and walk off with a stack of pizzas. That’s when I realized I joined the wrong branch, 28 years later i’m still in the Army though. My fav was tuna with noodles.
There's an old joke about asking people from the different services what they'd do if they found a scorpion in their tent. To cut a long story short, when it came to the airforce guy, he said, "I'd phone reception and ask why there was a tent in my room."
Wow. I’ve been out of the Army since 1991. Watching you guys eat the MREs brought back a lot of memories. (Mostly good). Longest I went on MREs was about two weeks during Team Spirit ‘89. Jimmy I’m a huge fan. Keep up the good work.
Thanks to both of you for your service. How about a 9 month deployment on a Destroyer where many days it was so rough that you survived on NOT grilled cheese and bug juice because it wasn’t safe for the Mess Cooks to be around hot surfaces as we bounced around. Thanks, NAVY Vet and RV12 Pilot
@@therealjimmysworld I have a friend in the UK who polishes, mounts and sells aeroplane parts. I don't know if you have the equivalent where you are. You could get them polished and sold as ornaments.
i was in the 82nd Airborne from 1972-1975. We did not have MRE's but we still had c rations with the dried coffee and the packet of 3 cigarettes and matches and a small can opener I believe it was called it a p38. We once went to the field for a month and the c-rat case we took them out of said they had been manufactured in 1948 and that was in 1974. I never saw an MRE until I got out of the Army.
USAF 2001 - 2009. I only had to eat MREs for about a week straight, but I love them for what they are! Some were better than others, and some were legit good!
Use a tone generator for tracing wires. Hook up the wire tone then use tone receiver to trace. No need to use multi meter. You can pickup the wire your tone generator is connected to out of a bundle.
Hey Jimmys World. Love the show, humor and all you do for plane restoration. Desert Storm was the longest I ate MRE’s. Old school as well. Months! Months I tell you. I don’t think I’ve pooped since! Thank you for your service! All of you!
I was in the fire service, not the military. That said, when deployed on wild land fires we would eat a LOT of MREs when out on the line. You’re absolutely right about MRE poops.
for tracing wires, in the Computer Networking world, they have a "Tone Set" allows you connect 1 end.. adds a tone to the wire then you use a probe to find the wire.. very helpful !!! Good Luck !! - I'm in Sedalia MO if you ever fly by.
It’s always comforting to know that in May of 2019 a multi million dollar aircraft was brought down by a 5 cent o-ring improperly installed on the hydraulic system of an F-16 at March AFB . It’s the little things that can kill you. Happy flying. LoL 😂

RETIRED FIGHTER MECH.
Hey there Jimmy!
Saw the NATO E-3A Component sticker (the new type...) on your fridge while your son was checking his MRE...
That Component was my military home for 7 years...
I am a proud member of Squadron 1...🤓
Keep up the good work!
401 + 310 is almost 717! I think Jimmy and rebuild rescue should be rebuilding a Boeing 717 as a little side project 😎
HAHAHA, that's awesome!
@@therealjimmysworld Actually 401 + 310 = 711 Sounds like a sponsorship opportunity to me. This is getting exiting, closing in on engine starts and gear swings! Cant wait!
717? 711?
and lo and behold N771BC is the N# of the 1972 310Q model belonging to 310Pilot Kevin Thornton and wife Jaime,,
Fwtw
Wow Jimmy that 310 is a labour of love..well done team, that thing is beginning to look like it might just fly:-)
maybe... just maybe!
@@therealjimmysworld Maybe I'll live long enough but it depends on how long till the next MRE takes place.
Jimmy you’re a legend mate, much love from the uk 👍👍👍💪💪💪 keep going pal and get that 310 in the air 😛
That's the plan!
Nice Cub in the back ground but Whip Lines on a Cub are a bummer. I built a 337 from boxes once, both booms, both rudders, both engines, all the cables plus auto pilot, both main gear, both wings and all the bell cranks. It was insane. But I signed her out. Oh and a complete color change paint job. Lot's a money's. :-)
I’m a Marine veteran and I loved the spaghetti and meatballs in the old MRE’S. It’s been 24 years since I ate my last one. The longest my unit went having to eat MRE’S. Was 80 plus days in the sand box in the 90’s we were supposed to only be out for 45 days but got stuck when our relief unit came and we were told we wouldn’t be leaving.
I went to Basic Training in the US Army in Dec 1986. I was among the first soldiers to sample MREs when they replaced c-rats. Even the Drill Sergeants hadn't tried them yet. My favorites were ham slices and chicken a la king. The dried fruit was pretty good too. That liquid cheese stuff would stop you up but tasted pretty good. MREs eventually had gotten better, and they added tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce which made everything edible.
When I was in the service 40 years ago, we had C Rations. Ham & Eggs you couldn't give away. Enjoy watching your progress on the 310....better you than me.
Ham and egg was still persisting into the 90s....it was the one everyone did their best to avoid. I never had to eat that one... the scent was enough!
Jeez, completely forgot about those eggs. Highlighter fluorescent green/yellow pebbles of suffering and death. The beans n weens weren’t bad.
Jimmy yes I did eat the rashsions, and at 19 or 20 years old living in GERMANY . and out in the fields,in the snow 3foot deep the rashsions we’re great we’ll see ya later I am watching you right now so working on that plane 310 see ya bye.
Jimmy, a wire toner would be a lot faster than what you’re doing. Put a tone on a wire and take the toner wand and quickly find it.
I was thinking the same thing. A couple of hours and he should be done.
@@Heathh49008 yep. The only way to quickly trace wires is with a toner. Not what he’s doing.
I was Prince Sultan AB in Saudi Arabia. The first night there, some sort of beetle looking insect crawled out of my chow hall food. So I ate MREs the rest of my 6 months there. Beef stew was my favorite MRE; I broke into a Quonset hut at 2am and stole every beef stew out of there. At the end of the day, there’s nothing like a good MRE 🤣
Can’t wait to see this beauty back in the air! Great series I have learned a lot about the aircraft systems too! Thanks Jimmy
Me too! Glad you enjoy the videos!
When I was in Scouts as a kid in the ‘80s our Scout leader was a retired Royal Marine. He used to get us the U.K. ration packs when we went camping/hiking. They had some tinned stuff and a hexi stove as well as dehydrated packets. Best stuff was “Biscuits Fruit”. Or the porridge oats that you would add the apple flakes that were supposed to be a desert to. The modern stuff is much more like your MRE.
Love the content, please don't use over the top cliff hangers like the last episode if the cliff doesn't exist though. It's starting to feel like tv, and there's a reason why tv shows are dying.
Chewbacca and Han Solo fix the Millennium Falcon 😁😁🤣🤣😂😂👍👍👍👍
Hey Jim I really enjoy the content you put out, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Have somebody listen to your videos and write important points down for you to fabricate a note about... Then you wire the note where it needs to be wired to for a... Safety first type of thing... Let's say it's a note that you need to call somebody to look at something.... Write it down and be specific on the Note that you need to do that.,. Stuff like this prevents plane crashes. You've got multiple multiple issues each one has to be checked off one at a time.., make a checklist and start checking things off that you complete.... There ...there ...right there.... very good idea for you. Do that. Catch my drift.,... Make a note to make a checklist.... I used to work at Boeing flight test... I'm a general Machinist... I used to fabricate,. I made complicated aircraft parts out of aluminum titanium carbon steel stainless steels inconell magnesium... Graphite epoxy composite., Sheet metals .. worked very close to engineers.We were also manufacturing research and development (m r d).
Hiya Jimmy, I am glad this showed up today. I really look forward to all of these that show the progress you make.
Thanks so much! Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video!
Grunt pudding: cut top of pouch to make a bowl. Crush crackers throw them in the bowl. And peanut butter, coffee, creamer, cocoa and water. Mix thoroughly. Serve at room temperature.
Really been looking forward to this episode , it just gets better and better , Hollywood for Jimmy me thinks :) Seriously though , this is a great series , loving every moment , so funny yet I’m learning something as I watch , what can be better
That's why I usually label all my wires and take a few pictures... 10 mins saves 3 days of work.
I had old fashioned c-rats for 31 days. The ww2 ones were almost as good as the koreans. Both were challenges. After a few days you became a pro using your p38 to make a personal stove.
Hi Jimmy. I`ve seen this video the day you posted it. But just today (22/02) I remembered there`s a guy (as old as your 310 owner) that appart from beeing an airline pilot and aicraft mechanic for hobby, that may (or not) help you, if you feel appropriate to hear my (free) advise. It`s Juan Brown , owner of you tube channel "Blancolirio". He didn`t offer to help you, I don`t know him personally, just a thought. I mean, we`re a (aviation) community aren`t we?
Juan is a great guy and you're right, we've been in contact :)
Thks for answering. Nice to know you know each other. Happy landings from Portugal
The wiring mess brings back nightmares. I’ve worked in datacenter operations and have always written up cable labeling work instructions for staff to follow (label near plug describing what it is to plug into, a label 1” away describing the remote end.
Great point
MRE dehydrated pineapple was like fiberglass that welded to tongue and and all sides of your mouth. Choking hazard.
Hi Jimmy, i'm Phil from France, really love your channel and the 310 is my favorite... Have i inderstood you were in the air force? What did you do or fly there? Thank you for the dream and the humour... Love it...
Remember make notes and wire them to everything that the note pertains to.... it's such a load off your brain .....they're made out of sturdy very thin cardboard with a grommet and wire... and you wire them to things.,. I think they're about three and a half by six inches... and have somebody print the note so it's very legible for people to read. Now you walk past the airplane and all the parts ....and you have specific tables,. And workbenches... around that airplane for only parts for that airplane. The notes along with the videos should ensure safety for all... there's an old saying... ideas are like slippery fish they have to be stabbed with a point of a pencil... Meaning write it down or you'll lose the idea or forget it.
I love seeing the restoration of all these aircraft. If I was in Florida I would SO be there to help out.
Heck yeah!
Well, you are on a next-to-impossible mission, so the M,R,E,'s are very much appropriate.
23:34 that one look says it all....
Love your content. When I was a kid in the 70s my father was in the military and got cases of sea rations. We would eat them dear hunting. Always got a p38 pack of sugar and a cigarette.
@David Bishop yeah I was in during the 70’s and ate a lot of sea rats. I think that’s where Dr. Seuss got the idea of green eggs and ham. Best wishes to you and your father from an old Gunners Mate.
@NAM CBEO I know you’re right on the “C” part, and I put sea rats in my comment to him. But some of us believed that they took the rats from the port docks and used that to make them sometimes. I still feel the cookie was sometimes the best part though. Here’s wishing you health, happiness and joy.

I wrench on just about anything, but, I’m not a certified mechanic. If I didn’t have to worry about insignificant things, like the lives of the people flying the plane or the people on the ground, I’d volunteer.
I spent my Saturday watching the guy doing the 410, washing his plane. How bored do you have to be to watch someone wash an airplane?
Love your content. It's been a blast watching you working through the issues.
31 days in target 157 in Bolivia in 1986. Breakfast, lunch and dinner and I made a deal with the other two EOD personnel to let me have the frankfurters menu the whole time and ate it with bread and cheese the whole time.
I did six years as a Submarine Sonar Technician in the 80's. Never even saw an MRE.
Thankfully!
You squids were always spoiled
Jimmy look up the Scottish army MRE big Clive did ..... you will enjoy it
I love watching your videos. They’re a great thing to keep me occupied on a Sunday afternoon.👍
Nice!
Hey Jimmy. When you bent that oil pressure hose it sounds like my back when I get out of bed in the morning. Listening to you guys do the rivets with the bucking bar brought back many fond memories. To be honest I still do some mechanic work at home, but what would normally take a few hours takes me a few weeks even months.
Jimmy, now you know what a lot of aviation electricians went through over the years. LOL.
RIVETS: Wing repairs on my old jet used to have to be an electrolytic equivalent of the two pieces of metal they held together. Never use steel rivets on alloy or aluminium. is this still the case?
I can’t quit laughing! You are so funny and Silas is my new hero! Silas - you are a stud! Grizzly - thank you for your service and suffering through 45 days of MREs. My husband and son-in-law feel your pain. Both are Army. Jimmy - thank you for your service! Can’t wait for the next installment of I’m Jimmy and I’m slowly going insane!
Jimmy, in the words of a southern gal I once knew, "bless your heart", you have very enhanced ones from which thy courage doth emanate. May they continue to grow so you make more bad decisions through which I vicariously live, laugh, and love!!!
Excellent ! Jimmy do you have, or are you working on your twin rating ? Looking forward to the first flights of the 310 !
There is a much faster and easier way to trace the wires. All you have to do is run an extension cord over from the wall and plug a wire in then who ever is at the dash board touches the wires one at a time. They will know immediately which one it is. Easy peasy. I recommend the job of plugging in the wires over the one of touching the ends. Good Luck !
comment now, but Jimmy I love your videos, your series, its technical, its funny, its prime time material. I really love to see this come all together, take care of you and your family and I am looking forwart to see this plane Fly. Also I hope you figure out your issues with your Piper at some point - would be a shame to not being able to use her
Glad you enjoy it!
The best ration food i have ever eaten are the old canned food from the 70's called rsp from the norwegian army. Hard to get by these days but every time i find it for sale i buy it 👍.
Hi Jimmy. Loving the videos. Keep up the hard work ✈️👍
Thanks, will do!
Jimmy for a hack you handled that rivet gun better than some A&P's
Love watching your channel. Would love to see the 310 fly again.
I’ve only had to endure a couple of weeks straight on MRE’s. I was around at the time the Army transitioned from C rations to MRE’s . They were pretty bad compared to what we got when I retired. I remember one that the main course was a dehydrated beef patty. You had to soak it in cold water and eat it cold. The meals didn’t have heaters in them. The beef patty would leave a layer of grease stuck to the roof of your mouth that could be scraped off. A few of them were ok but if you drew a barbecued beef for breakfast it was a little hard to get down sometimes.
When you are tracing out wiring try using a toner. You can buy them at lowes or Home Depot
Grizzly Thank you for you service!!! RLW !!! Jimmy if I may ask what was your MOS/AFSC, I was Survival Equipment/Parachute Rigger at Nellis 88-92.
I’m 202nd Red Horse (heavy equipment operator)
Right on I knew a few Red Horse guys at Nellis up in Area 2
i believe jimmy is a millionaire....iam pretty sure he was a billionaire before this channel tho
was.... was... lol
Soon to be a thousandaire.
"How did you end up with a small fortune in aviation?"
"Started with a big one."
"90 days Judge"! "When your bad, your bad"! "USMC Force Recon, 3rd Marine Division"!
MRE's were not around in my time. Ours were in a box and called combat rations.
Hey Jimmy, the stall warning vane on the 310 is also heated, and is on the same circuit as the pitot heat, you might want to check its operation as well. As to MREs, I got to play in the Nam, we had C rats, and were even issued some K rations dating back to WW2 once. I don't remember how long we ate them continuously, some things are best forgotten. Never had MREs.
Army here, First two weeks in Haiti in 1994 we lived on pure MRE’s. Pretty sure I didn’t crap for 2 weeks, no joke. I lived in a rat infested warehouse with 400 friends and the air force had air conditioned tents on the airfield. I also watched them land a C-130 and walk off with a stack of pizzas. That’s when I realized I joined the wrong branch, 28 years later i’m still in the Army though. My fav was tuna with noodles.
There's an old joke about asking people from the different services what they'd do if they found a scorpion in their tent. To cut a long story short, when it came to the airforce guy, he said, "I'd phone reception and ask why there was a tent in my room."
Hi Jimmy, if you need broken cables re-made have you tried marine rigging shops, they should have hydraulic presses to roll swage fittings on for you.
Wow. I’ve been out of the Army since 1991. Watching you guys eat the MREs brought back a lot of memories. (Mostly good). Longest I went on MREs was about two weeks during Team Spirit ‘89. Jimmy I’m a huge fan. Keep up the good work.
Nice job Jimmy 👏, be safe out there brother.
IS THERE A SHIRT THAYS SAYS “ what could go wrong?”
Dude from a non plane guy, I am so glad I found your channel. I am enjoying this ride!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Greetings from the Orkney Islands off the north of Scotland. Love the videos…keep them coming.
very cool!
Hi Jimmy! Keep it up brother! Love the Content!
Thanks so much!
Thanks to both of you for your service. How about a 9 month deployment on a Destroyer where many days it was so rough that you survived on NOT grilled cheese and bug juice because it wasn’t safe for the Mess Cooks to be around hot surfaces as we bounced around. Thanks, NAVY Vet and RV12 Pilot
Love your videos!!!! So what do you do with any parts that are bad. Any wall or shelf displays??
Good question, right now we pile them in the corner..
@@therealjimmysworld I have a friend in the UK who polishes, mounts and sells aeroplane parts. I don't know if you have the equivalent where you are. You could get them polished and sold as ornaments.
i was in the 82nd Airborne from 1972-1975. We did not have MRE's but we still had c rations with the dried coffee and the packet of 3 cigarettes and matches and a small can opener I believe it was called it a p38. We once went to the field for a month and the c-rat case we took them out of said they had been manufactured in 1948 and that was in 1974. I never saw an MRE until I got out of the Army.
“All the way”brother👍
@@blainebabcock7890 Airborne!!
I am blown away at the speed you guys are getting this done. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
USAF 2001 - 2009. I only had to eat MREs for about a week straight, but I love them for what they are! Some were better than others, and some were legit good!
Use a tone generator for tracing wires. Hook up the wire tone then use tone receiver to trace. No need to use multi meter. You can pickup the wire your tone generator is connected to out of a bundle.
ActuLly Jimmy your electrical guy showed us that nothing was connected in the last video I believe
That is correct... We turned the camera's off for a day and did actual work... lol
I’m sure this 310 is going to continue to be a beautiful money pit after you are done. But… she will be a beautiful bird! Loving this series Jimmy!
Hey Jimmys World. Love the show, humor and all you do for plane restoration. Desert Storm was the longest I ate MRE’s. Old school as well. Months! Months I tell you. I don’t think I’ve pooped since! Thank you for your service! All of you!
I was in the fire service, not the military. That said, when deployed on wild land fires we would eat a LOT of MREs when out on the line. You’re absolutely right about MRE poops.
Oh man, would a Fox and Hound tone injector have made that tracing easier?
Yes, definitely
The 310 is really coming along great! I'm really enjoying watching your progress. I can't wait to see it take flight!
When you were running the flaps down why did they stop moving while the motor was still running? Seemed odd to me...
Nice work Jimmy, great to see the progress with the 310. Awsome documentation for us to see. Cheers from Norway
C Rats were our ration of choice…only choice but I liked most of them. Longest time I had to feast on those was 2 weeks.
Very neat! Thanks for sharing
for tracing wires, in the Computer Networking world, they have a "Tone Set" allows you connect 1 end..
adds a tone to the wire then you use a probe to find the wire.. very helpful !!!
Good Luck !! - I'm in Sedalia MO if you ever fly by.
Exactly... we'd go completely insane tracking cables if we didn't use them.
It’s always comforting to know that in May of 2019 a multi million dollar aircraft was brought down by a 5 cent o-ring improperly installed on the hydraulic system of an F-16 at March AFB . It’s the little things that can kill you. Happy flying. LoL 😂
Hey, Jimmy! Would love to see more collaborations with RebuildRescue and his 401! I get super excited to see the new #savethe310 videos drop. Two of my favorite things: Airplanes and turning wrenches!
Hola Jimmy! Do you have / Found Cessna’s wire diagrams for this 310?
