I have a name for the air plane Jennifer
Your fun fvck
Name it the skybuster
Me encanta tu trabajo , vivía de niño muy cerca del aeropuerto internacional de carrasco en Montevideo Uruguay amo los aviones !!!!! Si tenés la posición de subir tus video con subtítulos en español ! Mí inglés es muy precario ! Y tenes muchos fans en Latinoamérica !!!! Saludos
Name it bob
This is why I love TH-cam. Never thought I would be watching a "Will it run" video on an abandoned airplane. Great video Jimmy!
the internet and youtube is waaaaaaaayyyy better than that old fashion shit called tv, because on the internet there are more movies
and other great video's and programs to watch when you want, what you want and whenever you want and without adds when you use addblocker,
the best invention on the entire internet! That's why i swapped my couch for my deskchair, because i'm on the internet for 22 years now,
and the only tv i watch is the movies i record, because then i can skip the advertisements. Hell, the internet came right on time, because
tv sucks because they don't make the great tv series anymore like they did in the 60's 70's and 80's. It's all reality tv or who's got a talent
and cheap crap like that, because it's now the average joe that's the tv star, because they don't cost a penny.
ShopLifeTV, love your content man. Maybe we'll see an airplane on the channel soon? haha
Facts. You stole those words right outta my brain
ayyy shoplife
I've actually been looking for an abandon airplane revival channel for a while. I'm glad I found one. I subscribed on the first video
That kind of time with his father is what that child will remember, in a world where there is more and more distance between parents and children, hugs from Venezuela
I never had that:(
Unfortunately planes like the previously shown Bonanza will be good for parts only. BUT they will see life making other planes keep flying. This one and the next are salvageable however, it just depends on what one is willing to invest
I agree. Was watching this next to my wife and said “man, this guys kid is one lucky kid!”. The stuff he’s learning and the quality father son time is immeasurable
I'm reading a book about Argentina during the economic collapse of the early 2000's. Bless you in Venezuela; pray we can stop it here.
You are exactly right! My dad used to work in general aviation. This video brought me back to when I was little coming with him to work. He works on widebodies now. Great memories.
ngl the relationship you have with your son is amazing, also he's a great camera man props to you guys
I had a 1967 Aztec and loved it. It was great flying 1 ton dually.....literally would carry anything you put in it.
Way to go Jimmy. Your son will never forget the times he spends with you doing work like this. I used to work with my boys when they were that age. They are 25 and 29 now, and that time went by in a flash. Proud to be a new subscriber.
@Eliza Cole bet u got him too
What a great education you are providing your son. Clearly you are an outstanding dad. All his buddies are probably locked in their rooms playing video games while he’s getting aviation and mechanical education and spending time with dad!
And having a great time, too. Your son looks like he really enjoys doing this with you! Is that your dad with the cane? That would be awesome if there were three generations from the same family all out doing this together.
@ᴡ ᴍᵉᵉᵏⁱⁿˢ man you are really sensitive. How would me praising this guy an attack on you? As far as growing up, I’m a 36yo airline pilot with a wife and son. My compliment to the channel had nothing to do with you.
@@RobtheAviator I was thinking that too. Why did he take that personal? My husband and my son built top alcohol engines for race boats and dragsters together. Daddy’s are good dads in different ways. Airplanes was one of the few things we never messed with. I know zero about airplane motors.
@@gracieg7601 See you get it! Your husband spent time with your son and taught him some skills. That’s what good dads do. The guy who felt attacked can be a perfectly good dad spending time with his son teaching him to paint, to hike, etc, he would still be a good dad. My comment was to praise this specific dads method of being a good dad.
Thanks Jimmy nice to meet you and your son,,, have a good time,,, and l ll hope to see you on the next video,,, OSCAR,,,
It's so cool that your son gets to spend time with you like this. It's quality time like these that kids will never forget. It's awesome and your content is awesome!
I love seeing old, derelict aircraft brought back to life. Thanks for working to get another one back in the air!
The interior of the Aztec is AMAZING! Its a time capsule. So clean and beautiful
Jimmy and his son in these videos deserves a huge SHOUT OUT on how is has such patience especially when he is interacting with his son. I have so enjoyed these videos as much as I have for a few great reasons and for the ability to watch such a healthy bond between father and son that any man and son would love to have the same strong bond of father 7 son. My best friend, my father was such a man and after he passed away at the age of 69 is when I realized what I lost in his absence. I miss my father every single day and though I am 60 years old you never stop feeling the love from your father and the love of your son. My wife and I were unable to have children and after finding why which was my wife's Multiple Sclerosis we figured out just what we both lost in the death of my dad as he loved my wife with the same unconditional love he always showed me. Rest In Peace, Dad and for Marty and his son, may you both never lose the joys, memories and the bonds of love for your dad and the love of your son. I couldn't find the name of your son, Marty??? Can you please let me know so I can refer to him by his name instead of just son? I am not a freak and just his first name is great. Please all share this video and my comments so others reading this might pay a little more attention to the treasures parents and children share. I know I referred to the relationship between father & son but it applies to both sons and parents or daughters and parents. Peace, Luciano G.
@Eliza Cole program your bots better lol
I know what you mean about your father.... First hand.....every day...
This is the one TH-cam suggested. Love the channel.
"There's no way that's as far back as it goes" As an avionics technician who's constantly crawling back behind the instrument panel, I felt that. Seats in aircraft can be the worst, especially in GA.
You can always tell a real A&P mechanic from a poseur. They all say the same thing: If you can see it, you can't reach it. If you can reach it, you can't see it. The Aztec is one of the worst for working behind or under the instrument panel, since the wing spar carries through under the front seats; if you take out the seats it still doesn't help you much, since you have to lie on your back and your lower back and ass are about a foot above your head as they pass over the spar. "Airplane mechanic" sounds so romantic, but I've done about every dirty/difficult job around, and it's one of the worst.
Why "especially in GA"?
Is it the humidity?

Same with some of his other videos, like the Bonanza... the fire hazards in that were unbelievable. Cringeworthy... yet fascinating.

I'm fairly impressed with your son. It's great to find a channel where the kids are an integral part of the video instead of being hams for the camera. I'm really warming up to your videos frankly.
It warms my heart to see you teaching your son with such excellent slangs and phrases! Reminds me of my Canadian country childhood!
Having worked in Aviation back in the 70’s, I recall a hot Saturday midday in New South Wales where I was refuelling a Pawnee at the bowsers
As I taxied back to the parking area I passed an old Aztec that had not moved for several months. Just as I was level with its nose, an engine dieseled and spun its propeller spontaneously. From that day onwards I have never ever again walked through an aircraft’s propeller arc.
(Scared the daylights out of me.) Cheers from Downunder👍🇦🇺🇺🇸😬
I own a '73 Turbo Aztec. It has the Bendix "Shower of Sparks" ignition system. When you have the starter button in the start position, you are using a different set of contact points in the magneto that retards the spark to around top dead center, as well as depending on a vibrator circuit to make it all work. When you release the starter button, the system goes to the "run" setting with different timing from an ordinary coil/condenser circuit. Your starting circuit is probably not functioning, likely the reason it won't start until you release. I hope you - or somebody - gets it flying.
Thanks for the info!
@@therealjimmysworld If it is the same as in twin Cessnas, it will also ground the ?right? magneto. So the left magneto may be dead
In the automotive world, I have also heard of them not having enough juice to fire the spark plugs while the starter is running. When you let off they have enough juice to pop them off. That's a whole different field though
The start retard points on the LH mag are probably dirty, it sounds like the buzzbox works.
Also, if you pull the P leads off the mag side it will ground itself, (there is a spring contact that's closes if no P lead is connected) Just learned all about them after nothing would work on my old engine!
Exactly what I was looking for in comments
That pilots seat has a block to prevent the seat from going all the way back just in case the latching mechanism would fail on takeoff. It is a safety device.
As a kid I always had a dream of finding a plane in a junk yard, fixing it up and flying the world. As my dad always says. You're Livin' the dream
i bought a 310i the same shape as that aztec and fixed it up. put over 100 hours on it so far. Had sat for over 20 years in a hanger
Immensely interesting and entertaining. Great content. Keep it up.
I'm a 52 year old auto mechanic and there are a few similarities between auto and aviation internal combustion engines.
Can I just say, from my diagnostic perspective, you seem to be spot on. Systematic, methodical approach to those engines was a pleasure to behold. Compression, check. Fuel, check. Spark, check. That bad boy MUST run. It wasn't a matter of if, but of when.
Glad to see your camera crew invested in the project as well.
Cheers from North of the 49th.
When they start an old truck, they drive it. Just sayin.... YT audience expects a do or die flight test
Seeing that Aztec brought back memory of the mid 70’s when I worked for an ag flying company in New South Wales. It was a hot Saturday midday and I taxied a Pawnee over to the fuel bowser to fill up for Monday , past an old Aztec that was parked in the open and hadn’t moved for several months . It occupied a parking space alongside several other light aircraft. As I was refueling the Pawnee I happened to look across at the Aztec and observed its port engine spontaneously fire up and start spinning the prop for about 15 seconds. I guess that the outside temperature caused some fuel to fire. I have never witnessed anything like that again. It taught me to never walk through the arc of a propeller for any reason.
Cheers from Downunder. 🇦🇺🇺🇸👍
Whoa! Clear Prop! For sure!
The Aztec is my favorite Piper plane. Having grown up in Lock Haven, I saw many of these fly overhead. While working as an engineer intern, I finally had a chance to fly in one. Thanks for saving the old girl.
Same here ,I saw Aztecs on the assembly line. My dad worked in flight test. Before the flood !
@mobius flight have any favorite memories of the 1st One's ,1960 autoflite?
@@bernardc2553 Not really. My father worked there for 35 years. I never say the old girls except for the Apache.
its so exciting when those engines start. we get to see the good stuff. while you get to deal with all the time consuming stuff.. from all of us armchair pilots. thanks dude.
Love the "ya we flooded the crap out of it" cut away...priceless
I get excited when you get excited…it’s contagious…good job Jimmy
This guys is the true meaning of the WINGNUT next door.
👍
I don’t think he’s heard of starter fluid
@@something7992 I believe the product he's shooting (fogging) down the cylinders has some ether like stuff in it. Ether can be very harsh, wash out the rings (no compression so no fire) and can go BOOM! if you use too much.... so ....
Your being generous lose cannon he is😂
Worked in aviation for 28 years no one with a brain used stating fluid on an airplane what a dip
That plane has a ‘shower of sparks’ ignition system that is enabled when cranking. When you release the start switch, the mags go back to the normal run operation. There is an extra set of points in one mag that has delayed timing to get quicker starting. There is a vibratator box, red in color, that is the power for the shower system. I think it’s somewhere behind he instrument panel. It’s been 25 years since I worked on an Aztec. Good luck.
Sounds like the p and retard leads are switched.
Some modern car engines do this as well. These days “it’s only software”. It really helps keep the spark plugs from getting wet during cold weather cranking. That’s actually one of the weaknesses of multipoint fuel injection, it doesn’t have quite as much time for the fuel to vaporize as with a carburetor. I design MPFI systems for a living and wouldn’t advocate going back, but it is a bit more of a pain in the arse for the engineers to get the thing to start all of the time.
100% this. My Mooney has the exact same device...failed 2x in 7 years so I'm intimately familiar with this failure mode. As soon as it worked when he let go of the key I knew what happened. The boxes tend to be in stupid locations and prone to water ingress.
In my 63 Aztec the shower of sparks box is behind left forward nose panel, on a shelf. Also, my baggage door key has to carefully be inserted and massaged around to unlock doors.
@@dale116dot7 I would! Advocate going back to carbs., that is. Old cars=easier to, work on. My opinion, but to each their own! MPI is complicated enough and of course they're making DI now. 😁
Amazing video! I currently fly an F model Aztec for work, absolutely love it.
Que vídeo maravilhoso, eu amo mecânica e isso foi sensacional, parabéns amigo.
assiste tbm o canal REBUILD RESCUE
Love that cockpit, it's like a side-by-side two-seater warbird that was so chunky, they gave it yokes instead of sticks.
This is one of the most amazing TH-cam channels in existence! 2 of my favorite things, airplanes and getting things running that have been sitting a long time!❤ I would give anything to be apart of something like this! Jimmy, you da man!👊👊
I was hooked from the start. What a sweet sound when that engine runs. Change that ignition switch! Best regards,
Al
What you do with these planes is amazing. I wish I had those skills. I’m just a shade tree mechanic with no pilot experience but love planes and have flown in several personal private planes.
very cool!
Oh ya one of those private planes was in a Stearman. Fun loops in that beauty.
Love the videos of bringing these old birds back to life! Call her the "POWER WAGON".
That Aztec is in pretty good shape for how long it's been sitting, hopefully she flies again!
I seriously doubt it because there is nothing great or exceptional or interesting. I was thinking that maybe there is a small chance that someone is emotionally attached.
@@anthonyrstrawbridge I'd be surprised if there isn't frame decay, that poor girl would need a double overhaul
@@EncrypticMethods I totally agree. The level of rust in that fuel cup was scary and I certainly wouldn't like to be the first to take that back in the air.
@@notwhereyouthink I'd chance it just bc I believe I'm lucky, probably prove me wrong but meh
Will only fly again with new engines and props.
Just happened to stumble upon this in my TH-cam feed and I find it funny that the engines are made from Lycoming and I work for a company that makes Lycoming parts! Pretty neat.
It’s been some long years but I’ve flown this plane before it was amazing nice to see it’s someplace different and coming back to life. Was a different color as well
Man, thanks for always being true to yourself and being the goofy and fun guy you are. I need that reminder to be that way too. Lots of love, bro and cool videos on these old birds!
This guys is like the Mustie1 / Jim Carrey of old air planes. Great content.
Exactly!
Vice Grip Hangar?
He would have to know what he was doing to be called Mustie or Vice Grip Garage
@@carlthomas3074 Yup. He's Derek from Vice Grip Garage only an airplane version. I love it!
exept Mustie actually REPAIR broken junk that he drag to his shop, he even fabricate missing parts. This guy is joke. It's insulting to Mustie to have him compared to this clown.
Totally am having a blast watching these videos.
Once upon a time I used to work on A-6 Intruders for VA-34 BLUEBLLASTERS out of NAS OCEANA, Virginia Beach. That was back in the late '70's. Home ships were the JFK CV-67 & DWIGHT D EISENHOWER CVN-69. Broke the EISENHOWER in brand new. Aviation is amazing. Nice to see you having fun with this. You all be safe, those blades are not predujist. They like anyone. 👍
Honestly, the cockpit still looks really nice in that plane, considering the way the outside looks... surprised the avionics still work
Just high pressure water jet on it and it would look better
Well seeing how it is an Aztec I’d go with Montezuma. The revenge is optional. Lol.
That’ll be a great plane when you get her flying again.
Is that the aim of these videos? To reinstate the planes for flying?
@@nessuno5403 absolutely yes !
Keep 'em coming, Jimmy. Can't wait to see what you do with these.
I repaired many Aztec Lycoming engines. The engine is very tolerate. Once it is service regularly, it preforms well. The air-cooled system is excellent, it helps to maintain the engine. Once it is properly oiled it runs well. Only complication you may encounter is carbon pressurized deposit in the electro unit of the spark plugs due to high torque combustion. However? This will be executed due to proper hourly inspection. Jimmy did a great job. The Magneto, pressure check and overall sequence was good. Good job Jimmy.
Your son does an excellent job with that camera! Good work guy!
Brilliant!
I've had a total of three (so far) of those combination mag select/starter switches with the same failure mode... disconnects mag/ignition whilst cranking. It's like Groundhog's Day in the Twilight Zone.
I love that Aztec. :) It's so beautifully equipped ... back in the 80s I flew one of these and I would have been overjoyed to see that cockpit. I want it.
Jimmy, enjoy your shows and humor, and enjoyed unexpectedly meeting you today at our local home improvement center. Keep up the good work !! Thank you for the entertainment.
Great meeting you as well!
Chris here from UK. We would say here 'she is a runner'. Keep up the good work.
thanks so much!
Jimmy wow, love the channel, fun seeing you revive these old birds! 😎👍
Absolutely love the shoulder pop compression test. OSHA approved I'm sure
Why am I just now seeing this channel. Thanks you tube. I've needed this in my life. Got a subscriber for sure. If it involves airplanes or old cars I'm all in. Great content. Your son will have alot of great memories at the airport just like I do.
You have a nice hobby resurrecting old planes.i like that.😀
The interior of that plane seems remarkably clean for sitting outside that long.
@@noidontthinksolol That's true... but, I know the last old BMW I bought that had been sitting in a garage without running for about the same amount of time was completely covered in grime.
@@noidontthinksolol Twice.
Cabins are pressured and sealed so the interior would not be in the elements.
@@Strange_Brew I highly doubt that. This plane was never sold with a pressurized cabin.
I really hope you don' t take the hacksaw to that Aztec.
Despite the gnarly exterior it looks just too good, has such a nice cabin and it looks like the airframe is pretty solid, too.
This is more interesting than starting old cars,Good show!
As an old B52 Avionics tech I am getting a kick out of watching this stuff. Like watching kids working on their go carts back in the day. Whatever it takes. Go for it Jimmy.
I flew freight in an Aztec in 1980. I recently looked up that old bird to see if she was still flying. N20DM was well cared for by a retired airline captain and looked better than when she was a freighter. It actually brought a tear to my eye that she was taken care of so well. The airplane saved my life one icy night in Decatur Illinois. I was a pretty green pilot with less than 2k TT in my logbook, most of which was single engine flight instructor time.. N20DM was a full deice AC with boots all around/Hot Plate on the Wind screen and hot props. The Aircraft was loaded for bear with all that deicing equipment. All of us freighters regularly took off into known icing. The only report that would shut us down was freezing rain. I screwed up and took off with the right engine starter spinning but not engaged with the flywheel. I was told the next day that the starter solenoid had welded itself in the start position which caused a semi slow drain on the battery. The DC amps gage was an afterthought and was mounted on the right side under the dash. I had to bend over to the right and shine my flashlight at the gage to read it. I checked the gage to make sure it was showing a charge but I didnt take enough time to interpret what the gage was actually telling me. With the starter still spinning, the gage was trying to tell me that the amount of charge was too high. I saw what I wanted to see but spent only enough time understand that the needle was on the charge side and not the discharge side. I didnt notice that the charge level was much too high and I went through the rest of the check list routine and took off from Springfield ILL enroute to Decatur. The flight usually took only 20 minutes, so I wasnt to worried about the pilot reports of moderate rime ice. Within 5 minutes of the takeoff, I was being vectored for the ILS to Rwy 6 and I noticed the first indication that something wasnt right. The backlighting in my flight instruments started getting dim. I messed with the rheostat for a few seconds, that of course didnt help. I turned on the cockpit lights but they were so dim that they were useless. The next thing I noticed was the ILS to 6 was starting to show flags bouncing in and out of view. I then made the assumption that the electrical charging system was somehow failing. By then ATC was turning me to an intercept heading for the ILS 6 at KDEC. I turned off battery switch and began offloading everything electrical that I could think of. By then I had started using my flashlight to see the instrument panel. I left only the #1 nav head which had the ILS to RWY 6 tuned in and the # 1 com radio switch to their on positions. Everything else that I could think of at that messed up moment was shut off including the Windscreen hot plate. I quickly realized that If I couldnt shoot the approach to RWY 6, I might not make it. The entire area was low IFR in moderate rime ice. I flipped the battery Sw back on and declared an emergency, I told ATC that I was experiencing a electrical problem and asked for distance to localizer intercept. They said I would intercept on current heading in about 9 miles and not receiving your transponder. I had turned it off with everything else to save power. I didnt respond to ATC, again to save power. I then turned off the nav lights, the #1 com and the battery Sw again to conserve as much power as possible for the ILS receiver. All that I needed was the ILS receiver to stay alive. I flew for about 3 minutes with approach flaps getting ready to intercept. Thankfully the wind was calm and I knew from the preflight weather report that the WX was hopefully still 300 overcast and 1 1/2 miles visibility from one hour ago. I flipped on the battery Sw to see if the localizer was moving yet. Thankfully with everything else turned off the battery had a few minutes to recover and the ILS needles swung instantly into motion with no flags. I knew they were telling me the truth, the GS needle was off the peg starting down and within about 5 or 6 seconds the localizer came off the peg. I started my turn to intercept and bracketed the inbound course. At glide slope intercept I put the gear down and started down. In this AC putting the gear down was almost always in a no wind condition a perfect setup for following the Glideslope with very minor inputs. The Aztec was a beautiful instrument platform. As I intercepted and started down the ILS, the nav head started flagging again. I was forced once again to turn off the battery Sw. I let 20DM save my life by gracefully with no autopilot she held her heading and decent rate to the 400 agl point. I flipped the battery Sw back on and the needles centered up and I started seeing the glow of the Rwy lights. She had done a perfect ILS approach on her own In spite of her damn fool pilot. The last bit of crazyness on that approach was that the windscreen was iced over. I had to flare looking out the side windows. I didnt really flare much, I eased back a little and let her do the rest. The way I see it, that graceful old aircraft kept me alive.
Whew! That’s a solid 8.4 on the pucker factor scale!
Do you think you could probably add a little more text, it only took a short 3hr read
@@AwesomeAngryBiker Wish you were there, it felt like forever in a minute after intercepting the glide path and realizing I had to dead recon an ILS with suction guages and pitot static instruments. In other words guess at my position for 2 minutes. Sorry if my writing is a bit wordy. I had only one writing skills class in college, and a c effort at that.
@@therealjimmysworld I dont know from pucker factor but when I got out of the airplane my legs were like rubber. In 35 years of commercial flying, that night was the closest I came to killing myself. All because I couldnt be bothered to take 3 extra seconds to interpret what turned out to be one of the most important gages for IFR flight. I guarantee that was a lesson learned the hard way and it almost cost me my life. The difference between a normal indication and an overcharge indication was about 3/16 of an inch needle further to the right . Im not making excuses, I messed up by not looking for something out of the ordinary on this incredibly important gage. There were no yellow or red arcs to say there was an overcharge. It was just slightly further to the right than normal. I should have taken a few seconds and at least looked around to see what the slightly abnormal looking gage was trying to tell me. Its amazing how something that at that moment was seemingly an innocuous minor gage anomaly but was actually so important as to nearly be my last flight. It scared me enough to rethink my life choices for about 5 minutes. I instantly realized just how much I love flying. Two hours later I got into the replacement Aztec that my boss flew in from Davenport Iowa and continued my route to Champaign/ Urbana and Midway in Chicago. Crap low IFR and moderate rime ice the whole way and I loved it.

I love your honesty.
Love the Aztec! It's the workhorse of the charter business here in the Bahamas. Hope you get her flying again!
Awesome video man! I really loved the part where you put an old man with a cane about 4 feet from a plane propeller, lol. Love these "Will it start videos" that pop up everywhere. Great to see these machines get brought back to life like this, especially planes!
Great video to watch! Recently had to do something similar with an aztec that had been sat outside for nearly a year. I work with 3 aztecs just currently getting one airworthy and the other 2 are being used for parts! If you need any advice on them give me a shout! Don't forget to check the cables on that thing tho! Seen them in some states in the past 😬

Great episode of Jimmy and Son aeronautical suspense! It’s much more interesting than the TV tonight boys and a real treat when I don’t even need to get my hands dirty! However, and notwithstanding the foregoing, I can’t help feeling that you should seriously consider taking the battery out of little Jimmies watch and wiring the two together to give you a bit more kick!
Roll on next episode. Keep well and don’t forget to call the wife. Your going to need some brownie points when you turn up with all those aero planes.
I just found this channel today. Amazing.
Thanks and welcome
jimmy you are not only a great pilot /airplane mechanic but also a wonderful man of action.
good luck,,, AB. from Dublin - Ireland
Jimmy you forgot the dance after the left engine started! You owe us a dance!
Really enjoying these videos. Reminds me of when I was doing my pre-employment aircraft maintenance training and there were these three knackerd Piper Tomahawks and a Cherokee which we used to mess around on.
Love watching planes getting the chance to live again
Love the determination man, good stuff.
Man I enjoy the “that’s what she said” quotes that you made! Really funny good humor! 😂😂😂
I literally laugh at "this portion of Jimmyhs World brought to you by OSHA"
Gotta love when someone puts kill switches in and never bothers to tell any one about them. Lawyer's plane, yeah?
Wow,.the interior is mint. I wasn't expecting that based of watching a other channels recent free plane repair video.
That one is going to fly again one day. It's in pretty smart condition for baking in the sun as long as it has.
15:47 The same happens to me sometimes in a single-engine Cessna and I think the sparks are generated at different advance timing during starter operation, than under normal operation. With an average engine, I should release the starter at the first sign of firing, in order to transition to the regular advance timing, but if the initial firing is inconsistent, intermittent or weak, I keep on turning the starter and when I release it after 5-7 seconds (not to overheat the starter), it "miracurously" starts with confidence.
He knows what he is doing, and lots of fun.
I love to hear an engine come to life on anything that hasn't been run for some time it 's great listening the engine trying to come back to life
So looking forward to the 310. Except for probably not having the money, I'd love to buy it off you once you are finished with it. Few aircraft looks as good as a straight tail 310.
Me gusta como el comparte sus experiencias...eres un duro 💪😁
There’s nothing cooler than a barn find. Except a hanger find. LoL. Great video. Good luck. Just make this bird fly.
Years ago at age 19 I was the parts manager for a Cessna aircraft dealer and flight school. MacIntyre aviation at Long Island Macarthur airport. I had just finished 2 years of BOCES aviation mechanic school during high school. It was my intention of becoming a licensed A&E mechanic. But being in the business for 2 years I decided it was enough for me and the low pay. I hated Cessna's. Cheap made aircraft. I later became an electrical/ electronics tech for a public water utility. Being now retired I regained my interest in small aircraft. Love this video. But I would checked spark before you did all that work. Lol!
