Please honor builder’s and family’s request.
To Evergreen Foundation and family, Please issue the required permission for Jimmysworld keep that work of the builder's passion alive for the good of aviation.😊
I concur.
me 3@@mikeschillinger4427
Please
Can the engines be swapped? And swap the other parts even if the base fuselage is not flown again?
That beautifully built airplane should fly again. The builder spent a huge amount of time and passion into that plane and it would be a shame to just let it rust into dust. Please let Jimmy make it the fastest and most famous Lancair on earth. The builder would be proud looking down on his creation flying proudly through the skies again!!
People sends really nice things to you. It is many folks out there, who likes what you do. I know persons that are not in to aviation, but loves your videos. You helping a friend of mine, that are struggling whit depression, because every time you post a new video, his eyes are lighting up. Thanks to you, for showing other people ( The love of living ) Regards from Norway. ❤❤❤
Evergreen family & foundation please give Jimmy's world all permissions to buy & fly that beautiful airplane once again, thank you, another AWESOME video Jimmy & Grizzly 👍👍
To the family of the Lance-air, please allow Jimmy to purchase and fly that aircraft. He isn’t buying for profit, but for the love of the airplane and flying. It would be a shame to let it sit on the ground and deteriorate. It brings a lot of joy to those of us who watch on CZcams and don’t have the means to fly to see these planes in the air again.
^this please.
Please wonderful family, Please send Jimmy the Paperwork allowing Evergreen Museum to sell the Lancair to Jimmy and allow him to fly it. He is a great guy and loves Lancair planes. He already has one and it flies well. He likes the red and white one so much! Thanks and God Bless, Jimmy's World Member.
That was The Best Upside App promotion that I have ever seen, Love the "No Cut" Reality, Keeping it Real Jimmy ! I will hook up with the Upside App because of this.
Regarding your engine mounts, you may want to consider this: FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 20-62, as amended, allows an owner to produce parts for his/her own aircraft. The AC describes what the owner must do to consider the parts to he "owner produced". It's one way to address a situation when you can't find an original part.
That’s how most of my parts are done with all these old airplanes.
Wouldn't it be super expensive to reproduce a rubber component seeing how there are various rubber concoctions and the mfg process?
@@hardwaterhiker2657 I'm sure that there are companies that are capable of producing an identical product. One of the methods of complying with "owner-produced" requirements is that the owner can perform quality control oversight of the product. The owner doesn't have to physically produce the product.
@@therealjimmysworld I was responsible for developing and issuing the AC.
A polyurethane casting with good metal to pu bonding and correct durometer is a possiblity.
Jimmy, I always get a kick out of you, you are an entrepreneur through and through. Love it! Much success to you on all of your ventures.
Fly that museum piece again. Airplanes are not meant to be grounded unless there’s a mechanical issue. LET JIMMY FLY IT!! Please, please, please, please, and Uber please!!!!!
Agreed
He has already tried to see how much it would cost. In the end they found out they could not get it ever flying again because the engines are too loud and there a no sound cancellation kits for the model. And the price was over 3 million dollars.
I believe the original commenter was referring to the Lancair at Evergreen.
Unfortunately it isn't legally allowed to fly. The only way it could be done is if he bought a jet that's similar that is flying & use pieces of it.
@@mizzprettyhuston
You misunderstood. Jimmy asked for comment about the homebuilt in the museum and if we wanted him to actively pursue getting the family to reneg on their original ‘never fly again’ contract agreement with the museum. I say yes.
Obviously Elvis jet is never going to fly again.
I usually fast forward it through the commercials but I like the way you done this one good job Mustang and all
Mossy oak seat covers, with hunters orange tail numbers embroidered..... That would be awesome silver bullet..🦆🤠
wow, 12 minutes posted and already 235 Thumbs Up...SLAP THAT LIKE PEOPLE ......PLEASE LET JIMMY GET THE SIGN OFF FROM FAMILY THIS LANCAIR FLYING AGAIN ONLY JUSTIFIES THE HARD WORK THAT HE PUT INTO IT>>AND THE LOVE>>>LOVE>>>LOVE!
Thumbs up 👍 and thanks for sharing your thoughts 😎
Hey Jimmy, just replaced those mounts on my Cruisemaster with same engine year ago. Found them on AS (might even find the part number somewhere), most expensive piece of rubber i have ever bought! And it took 4 guys and a full day to do the job :D . Best investment ever tho, wouldn't put used ones in there! Blue skies!
Jimmy's in the ring and mike tysons got him against the ropes dang. Come on evergreen these planes need to be up in the sky on Jimmy's channel. Not everyone can get to the museum and its a shame to see them sit in a building , that isnt what they were built for. Jimmy's a great guy and we would appreciate your cooperation. 👍✌️
Seeing both of you in the cockpit was cute.
Jimmy's world rock's.
Make sure to run the weight and balance again. Most pilots weigh in at 170-180 lbs.
When you have pilots/passengers north of 200 lbs., you need to make sure to check whether the balance point falls within the CG envelope. 🧐🤔
I vote you take Cam'ron to Utah and drop it off at Mike Patey's hangar. Give him the "Please, please PLEEEEEEZE" and ask him to put a turboprop KingAir engine in it like the one he put in his Lanceair!!!
Jimmy, if you take the motor mount and you know what the actual parameters are for it you can make a mold for it. You can decide how dense you want polyurethane and you can actually mix the polyurethane and make it where it won't degrade because it's not made of rubber. And it will actually fit what you need it to fit in.
If you need it more flexible than polyurethane normally is you can always put a few drilled holes in it and allow it to flex and it's still very durable.
Buy the Engine & Prop from the Museum plane, swap your engine to the Museum plane since it's not to be flown !
I think you should bring the outside color back to original. Because when Elvis flew in it the color was perfect.
You should see if Vice Grip Garage would be able to save on that patina and make it purdy for a feller!
G,day Jimmy and "Grizzly" from Sydney Australia. You make me smile each week.
🌏🇭🇲
Just a thought, that chain link for the 310, you may want to look at a husqvarna out front rider mower. They use something very similar for the deck lift and steering.
Hi Jimmy. I'm Jeff Wilson from Chester-Le-Street. Co. Durham. North East England. I'm 60 years old, & I love watching your videos. I've always wanted to learn to fly an Airplane. But it's expensive. I Also have an R.V. its a Talbot Express Talisman. It's 30 Year old. But still in very good condition. It's 16ft Long , 8ft High. I think it's Great what your Doing with the Elvis Jet. Keep up the good work. Yours.. Jeff. what Could Possibly Go Wrong. 😊
Jimmy those 310 issues especially that rusted control yolk cable is nothing a little WD 40 million wont fix!
I love your channel and your diehard enthusiasm and the level of ingenuity you are capable of regardless of any channel!!! You rock! I dont care what anyone says! Limed ypur series from the McMinnville OR evergreen air museum recently as its not far from me and I used to go there with my uncle intil after he passrd away. He was an old veteran us the 1948 airforce and got us kids interested in airplanes at an early age.
Oh I hope the family that donated the 310 to the Evergreen Museum will allow them to sell the plane to you and hope they will be excited to see their former family possession restored to flying condition to be flown by you Jimmy!!!
Thumbs up to sunglasses chap from Wales uk
When your setting up your Elvis Jet schedule, please try to include a stop by the Brand New Hickory Avaition Museum in Hickory, NC which I believe is scheduled to open late next year.
It will include the US Navy FA-18 Hornet Blue Angel #5 that was retired, flown to Hickory, and inducted into the Hickory Avaition Museum. It was just announced last week the Blue Angel # 5 will be the first Aircraft to be placed in the New, INDOOR museum. At present all Aircraft are displayed outdoors which necessitates an extraordinary amount of upkeep. Blue Angel #5 has already been pulled from the display area and is being prepped, and stored indoors awaiting its spot in the new Museum. The museum has several Aircraft, both fixed wing, and rotary. Every thing from Korean War Era prop planes , P-3 Orian ( open for tours) to the Latest Acquisition the Blue Angel # 5
We'd love to have you attend the Opening, regardless of whether or not The Elvis Jet RV is ready to roll.
It's a great Museum, that's open free of charge, and ran and staffed by Volunteers !
Love your videos, and I love wearing my Jimmy's World tee's and explaining just what Jimmy's World is !
Hope to meet you one day. My wife and I will be in Inverness, Fl the last week in February for the Big Honkin Trike Rally, maybe we could come down to Plant City and let you try out our ICE Trikes Adventure HD 26FS Recumbent Trike. A Recumbent trike would be great to take on a flight, as they fold in half, and would be great for getting to the FBO office, or from hanger to hanger. They're awesome, it's like a Go Kart ya pedal !
Have fun, be safe !
Wow I'm very close to this airport. This is gonna be cool. I didn't know all that work was being done 👍👍👍
Jimmy love your great work fantastic ❤
The 3lvis bus is going to be amazing. So cool. I wish you could do something with the back end instead of just closing it off with a flat piece. I would love to see a cone shape at the back to still resemble a plane and then some sort of plane tail and rear wing. Alot smaller than usual but i think something could be done just so it stays with the theme of an airplane. It is going to be awesome.
Something like the space shuttle tail cone during testing!!
Love watching your channel grow more and more. Was here at the beginning, and love hownwell things have been going for ya!
Good morning from Minnesota! Great episode!
For the hole at the rear order a polished stainless transport milk truck end cap to fit and rivet it together.
Nice update Jimmy also really shocked to see a fellow Welshman on the channel
What I love as much as other content on “Jimmy’s World” is glimpses of Jimmy’s magnificent S-Class. Can you please do us an owner experience video Jimmy for that nice machine? I love and own a W211 E-Class-maybe your chassis type should be my next hyper-enjoyable road-limited, wing deprived machine? :-)
Please. I would luv to see that plan fly again. Let Jimmy buy it and put it in the air . He will be extremely knowledgeable and perfect for the rebuild .
I can see the reason for not allowing the Lancair to be resold or flown, as a homebuilt that statement limits the builders family from any liability in case of an accident. Oh and did you see the Lancair crash at Aero county airport T31 in Texas?
I get it too, still a bummer though to see such a nice airplane not flown.
Better to have one plane to fly, than 10 that don't. Keep the Lance Air flyable.
Looking forward to a driveable Elvis jet, nice one Jimmy
If you still have the wings and stabilizers from the Elvis jet they would make cool fenders.
That was the most unbiased shout out to Probable Cause I’ve seen yet
Hopefully the Elvis Jet comes out as nice as the Weinermobile. I mean that in a good way. Those things look great. you would never know they are sitting on a GM W4 chassis. Its going to be hard to hide that chassis and all its frame rails. Looking forward to seeing this happen. Please make regular updates.
There is this guy on youtube that hung mirrors down to hide his motorcycle tires. Motorcycle was part of a chassis for a Star Wars glider vehicle, looked like it wasn‘t touching the ground. Was probably highly polish aluminum panels.
To Evergreen Foundation and the Family, Please vote your approval for Jimmy Webb to have authority to purchase and fly this most distinctive airplane. This would be a good thing in my case I just love to watch Jimmy's passion come alive for all things aviation. I always envied my brother who was a pilot and every time i hear a plane fly over I can't help but look up and marvel at such magistic flying that never gets old
watching. Thanks for your considering, I feel for your loss of obviously a great pilot.
Once you remove a Cessna emergency exit window.... YOU WILL NEVER be able to get it to seal again, without completely rebuilding the darn thing. Including replacing all the window seals. You will wreck the window trying to remove it. Seriously. There was an IA who insisted we open an emergency exit to sign off a 100 hour on a 401... and we never were able to get it to seal again. Including using a couple tubes of silicone seal. That baby looks wonderful, and you'd hate to bend it opening it. GET a crash axe and equip the airplane with such. You'll be able to hack out any window or even the side of the thing.
Talk to Trexler rubber about the mounts, I bet they can make you some for a reasonable price.
Nice one jimmy bring on the elvis jet crack on
Aah poor little Jimmy needs families to sign a few papers to give the museum permission to sell Jimmy those imaculet plains and give them a chance to get back in the air again and prove themselves worthy and fast again 😢🎉❤
To the family of the Lancair.. Please allow Jimmy to purchase this plane from Evergreen Aviation Museum so that the legacy will continue on from the family member that built such a beautiful plane!!! I have seen this plane on display multiple times as I live here in Oregon and would love to see it back in the sky…
So very cool. Jimmy. I hope it gets on those wheels soon, and gets travelling around the USA!!
What better way for the family to honor there dad buy allowing the plane to be sold and donate the money to the plane museum because I am sure they could use the money. Please allow Jimmy the opportunity to purchase the plane. Thank you very much Phil
Oh my lol. I was like a tag would be cool for my bud who is a big Elvis fan. I was like expecting $40-50, not quite $330. Still a cool thing though, just not in my ballpark lol.
It was cool to see you spend so much time in my home area.
put an awesome paint job on the lancair so it at least looks faster
Totally with you..."...That is Wrong on So Many Levels!"
Now thats funny as i sat here thinking well i got a boat in parts and pieces, just as you say got a boat on the bottom of a ocean. Lol 😅
To Evergreen Foundation and family, Please issue the required permission for Jimmysworld keep that work of the builder's passion alive for the good of aviation.
The aileron rod clip ....you could use a black plastic zip tie! 😎
What's the story behind that little tank you have in that hanger? It's sad that the Silver Bullet is laid up but "safety first". Good thing you have Cameron and Blue Tarp to keep you company.
Our attempt at a tug… lol
Damn Jimmy got them PLUGS!!!!🔌🔌🔌🔌🔌… Get your Money Bro, that shit ain’t cheap. What you are doing but I love the hustle! You are doing great work Man. That’s pretty awesome. And you’re very talented. You should do a class on how to Vlog. You’re great at it.
I know NOTHING about planes, and I still found this video fun to watch ;) ;)
Hey Jimmy, you should keep the pitot and static system so you can keep the altimeter and ASI in the panel and working. You could also keep the ADF and you can time into AM radio stations and have the indicator point to the direction of the station tower.
That’s the plan :)
If it were me, I would mount the fuselage just like a semi tank trailer. I would make some cradles, and I would weld the cradles to the frame and set the fuselage down in the cradles.
Hey Jimmy for Jimmy’s World; for the 310 seats, or at least the Captains chair; how about an adjustable Racarro Seat!
I empathize with you regarding the RV. I purchased a brand new 40Ft. diesel pusher w/3 slides in 1993. Manufactured by one of the leading RV manufacturers on a Freightliner chassis. Problems started almost immediately with the coach part. Took it to the dealer for warranty repairs multiple times. Eventually after threatening to invoke the "lemon law", the manufacturer agreed to take it back into their factory repair facility and supposedly had a contracted repairman working on it. Three months later, I got it back along with some of the original problems plus new issues. Kept it a few more years, mostly sitting in my driveway and finally got rid of it. Huge financial loss. Interestingly, the Freightliner chassis was trouble free for the entire time I had it. An RV is a moving hole in the road to throw money into.
Love it.
The turn buckle come in a long version and a short version. (Designations "S" for short and "L" for long). The center part is made of brass and the ends of 2330 nickel steel heat treated by 125000 Pound per square inch and cadmium plated. The threads are Class 3NF. Long turn buckles range from 8"-9 5/8". Short turn buckles range 4 1/2"-5". The one in the photo is single wire safety wound. Threads on the ends, there is a right and a left hand thread. There are four that I know of, MS 21251, MS21252, MS21255, MS212256. Make one. The engine mounts, make a mold and than pour one. If you are not breaking rules by doing this.
Old style marine auto pilot setups use chain and threaded yolks like that. Might want to try that area for parts.
crazy Jimmys World... who could think of an elvis Jet
Maybe an electric constant speed propellor for the Lanceair
Just celebrated 20 years together
Hello from finland 👋🇫🇮
Great Vid again, great to hear a good welsh accent from Jeff, 👍👍.
Nice new paint job on the Lancair would be good. Like the Black Beauty from Green Hornet with that metal flake black green pearl paint. Maybe some ghost flames and a couple +10 horse power decals. Awesome paint job always makes things look faster, spruce it up and look great with the glass panels you plan to install.
All the unobtanium parts etc are exactly whats wrong with certified GA. Any of the parts from the exhaust to the control fittings could be made 100X better than factory in any machine shop. I mean you could make full custom titanium exhaust for a fraction what that rusty Cessna crap sells for.
This would be a great limousine!
Maybe you should keep the jacks for when the Elvis jet is parked and people are touring it, but you may be removing them for simplicity and for clearance of the fuselage or not having to cut as much on it….fun projects going on!
Jimmy you are partly right about the GI bill if you go to college they pay 100% im working on my cfi rating right now I just got my commercial and it's all on the GI bill
Love watching your shows. I hope the family will give all give the museum permission to sell you the airplane. I hate to see such a beautiful airplane being stuck on the ground. It's like a bird in a cage. The birds look better in the sky.
Jimmy and Jason 2024 pylon race 401 vs. 310!!
Please send Jimmy the letter to allow him to fly the air plane again please allow him to keep this magnificent machine alive
As for the interior on the 310 I remember there being a couple pieces of sharp metal poking out that could’ve cut someone. I say yes the interior needs a little update.
Thank You Very Much 👍
Special welding, special person AND a SPECIAL PRICE
Jimmy, Jesus is awesome!
Super Cool 😎
Grizzly, you look great! Keep up the good work!
For the Steering, go with a Steer-by-Wire system.
Winglets and avionics on the LanceAir !
please please please give Jimmy the opportunity to put another airplane in the sky. oh great Higgs boson you know what to do
HI 😊 thanks for the great content
So sorry to hear about your loss on purchasing the planes from Evergreen Museum. I was looking forward to the conversion build you were going to hopefully do. 😞
I would definitely be interested in that camper
What a lovely Welsh accent 👍🇬🇧👍
Jimmy. To persuade the family to sign off on the Lanceair, perhaps negotiate a deal where the proceeds of the sale go to an aviation charity.?
Jimmy !!! I never saw the address displayed. 😭😂 ive got something to send thats never been opened. It belonged to my Dad that was in the Air Force and i think you would enjoy it/them. 👍✌️
Welcome home, Jimmy!
Jimmy, you're a freestyle swimmer, Grizzly is butterfly specialist! LOL
it's going to be an epic build. Can't wait to see how you solve all the problems to make it road worthy.
MILSEK! Best furniture polish and stainless steel cleaner on the market!
I’d love to see that lance air fly again!
