Yo Jimmy! As a retired flight test engineer, pilot and mechanic one must never forget the old favorite saying " a good mechanic always has parts left over for the next job".
Those are just installed spares.
Kn I’m o
True. Save those parts for the crash.
Check engine light flashing while in flight I bet hits different than me on the highway while in my crapbox.
Not when you are trying to flee from a zombie apocalypse with your lady.
"money to noise converter". Imma use this for my next check ride lol
I was asked - what makes a plane fly? I said money.
I would definitely ops check that gear like 20-25 times with no failures cause the nose gear is moving against the airstream when you lower it. Hate to see it collapse on landing destroying the prop and overhauled engine.
Maybe leave the gear down for the first flight or two while your testing everything else out.
100% agree!!!
Jimmy actually has time to read the comments!!!! Super cool....love your channel.
👍
Defitine deal breaker due to bad design! That's priceless info!
"Jimmys World " The only channel that I SMASH that thumbs up 👍 before I even watch it, cause.... I already know it's going to be good.
youtube tried to fix their algrythem a few months back and peeps didn't get credit if the peeps smashed like too soon... or some such stuff, it was a BIG HOOOHAAA HAAA peeps not gettin paid ... peeps gettin told their 4000 fans are BOTS and stuff.... yea... I usualy wait into the thrid min nowadays just for that reason it proly don't matter anymore but... at one time it DID! :)
Sorry, but you are a bit squrrily to me
This one and Demolition Ranch... Those are the only 2 I do that with haha
Quit suckin up
Honestly i love this guy so much
I keep watching his videos whenever i'm sad af and he always puts a smile on my face
I was an AT in the Navy. I worked on the ea6b prowler. I love smoke testing. It's the quickest and easiest way to find out what's wrong and where the problem is. 🍻🍻😂🤣😂🤣😂
Jimmy, watch out Bud. I'm retired Army, served USAF and Navy, yet all my life has been dealing with aviation, (even these little toys. LOL)
This is like watching Hoovie's Garage but for airplanes and I love it.
That's what I was thinking the first video I watched lol
Just a couple of months ago you only had 2000 subscribers!!! It's impressive how fast your channel is growing.
Great video. Check the clocking of the prop. On a four-cylinder engine the power stroke should start when the prop is horizontal. Check out the four-cylinder planes on the ramp. Most of them will have the prop stop in the same orientation. This is subtle and easy to miss, but it will reduce vibration and help performance.
I would check the appropriate maintenance manuals on the proper propeller orientation. As I recall, the prop blades should be at 10 and 4 o'clock, but it's been awhile and I could be mistaken.
I'm totally in on Jimmy's world 🌎 🙃.
Oh the old rattle can overhaul. I'm so jealous on your ability to tinker with airplanes, and now and then actually fly some of the gatherings of parts!
the used car special ;) hahahaha, next I'll be armor all'ing the engine bay! hahahaha
Always fun watching. Thank you Jimmy and guys.
I just love the way you do the pilot's job (standing around watching while the ground crew guys get it done).
Ya know Jimmy, they publish service manuals for a reason.
That's just painful watching you having to install the engine four times, the prop twice.
Modern humans don't read more than tweet length texts; if it is a paragraph or more; forget it!
@@josephgould3832 How sad. I read a book a week.
@@kevinjarchow8812 Makes one wonder what happens next; cerebral interfaces with machines listening, watching and saying what to think, say and do next no doubt. I think Jimmy is a bit on the Bi-polar side of this world.
@@josephgould3832 I'm pretty sure that Jimmy isn't interested in becoming one with his flying machine.
Take that mask off!
Good that you didint cover the wind schield during spaying, now you got something to do later.
Haha good one
Another fun video, Jimmy! Keep them coming!
If I may make a suggestion, watch the light source. When you are shooting the cabin, and afterwards for a bit, the camera is pointed at the bright daylight outside the hangar, and you and the cabin are a dark blob. Always keep the light behind the camera. :)
"Money to noise converter." Yes, I definitely know that feeling.
Jimmy you make my day (retired USAF Jet Engine Mechanic/C5 Flt Engineer)
Jimmy your videos are the highlight of my Sundays! Keep up the great content.
Brilliant stuff Jimmy, love every minute, regards from Scotland.
Can't wait for the test flight! I know what you're going through. I took my engine out to overhaul (PA28-140) a year ago and just got all the parts back (but still have to assemble it!). I also opted for a RAM 160 conversion and a Powerflow exhaust. Between the different hardware involved in the conversions and the time that has gone by, I'm sure I'll run into numerous issues like you have. Naturally while the engine has been out, I've gotten involved in other projects like the Cherokee corrosion AD and prepping the firewall forward which also amounted to re-wiring all engine related stuff. Like you, every step of the way, I've run into road blocks. I did take pics of everything I could think of as I was removing the engine, but I know it'll still be a hassle.
Your channel is one of my favorites because I can relate to your problems. I'm an A&P, but that doesn't mean I'm any more savvy than you!
Good luck with everything and would love to see the 310 fly again! I got my multi in a similar old 310 and remember it as being a "tiger by the tail".
I love planes Jimmy makes it better since he is so real with his personality... We love your content. Mad love from Kenya..
If everything like the $180 bolt with a hole in it was reasonably priced more people could own their own aircraft.
55,000 engine rebuilt wow. Too much for the average person.
Just gotta hit the lottery. Lol. Enjoyed this show. Keep em coming
With all available maching, tools, CNC and laser technology, a asking price of 55k for an overhauling from an engine, is robbing with a slap in the face.
@@alfreddurmeier4178 that's what I think because I was a machinist for 30 years 8 years for the Air Force and I also have rebuilt engines . I know the materials for aircraft are lite and cost money but dang .
Love watching your trials and tribulations. Glad it all works out in the end. Greetings from the UK
I thought there was much more to powerplant installation on aircraft like certifications,tool inventories,logs,checklists ect.Looks like your only missing a couple of 6 packs of beer.
He’s got a IA with him
Love your video's brother, truly do and I don't even want a plane but, still love watching you. Those two guys must be good friends of yours to put up with you while they work on that plane lol
Excellent! thanks for that jimmy 🤙
( my first comment from across the pond)
I love the smell of old avgas and burnt oil...and the metalic sound of aluminum making that beer can crunch..and tools clanking on the conrete floor and the sound of the wind making the hanger door rumble from the wind outside!!! What's that smell that feeling???..
VICTORY MY FRIEND!!
VICTORY!!!
🐦
Great to watch,” money to noise converter” cracks me up!
Such good times Jimmy! Merry Christmas!!!
Can't get it enough of this .thank you
Love all the technical terminology.
BEST episode ever! Hysterical!
Having watched all your videos, I have to tell you you have been the most organic, and truly evolving presence on CZcams. Your best quality is your lack or pre-planned itinerary. Your best asset is your unassuming, and humble exploits that you allow us viewers to experience with you. Please....never become polished, prepared, or professional. You are our only hope!
u bring laughter to my miserable world atm .. ty
34:21 How many aviators does it take to install an engine....SIX. Fave to talk about the way the other guy is putting it in wrong and one to ignore the other five while he gets it DONE! LOL.
Hahahahaha!!! So true!
Jimmy you are now the official hanger ramp queen collector CLEAR PROP
I’m a car guy, don’t even know what a plane is… love the content though. Go jimmy!
Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video!
Love your videos keep your very expensive hobby up just love it and my father was saying that those aircraft have a lot of modern stuff considering he used to fly Tiger Moths and Hawker hurricanes when he was in the Royal New Zealand Air Force but my father is 89years old p.s. Merry Christmas to you and your family and have a great New Year🎄🎁👌
My neighbor built 2 long easy planes in his garage. His son would fly over the house all the time. I liked hanging out with him while he was building the last one. This reminds me of those days.
The firewall's junky appearance looked much nicer after fresh paint. Huge improvement in less than 4 minutes.
Good luck buddy and hope you have a safe flight.
Jimmy those guys are so good you can watch them work all day.
I would love to do what you do…thanks for keeping the dream alive!!😀
Another great video! 👍 Thanks for the entertainment Jimmy!
Thank you for your videos.
Thought on the front gear-might be binding where all the rattle can paint got in the mechanism, I'm just saying..love the channel.
Really enjoy your videos
can't wait to see it in the air, clear !
From Holland Jimmy, I love your channel, and believe it or not I will never buy a plane from you!
However I will not miss an episode 😉
Thanks! That's a wise choice... lol
From 🇰🇪 , really learning alot .Thank Jimmy 🤝
Your channel should be in a TV show! Love your channel man.
You're always having fun with these planes... love seeing the adventures. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen what appears to be an abandoned airplane at an airfield and thought about doing what you're doing right now. :D
Good way to seat those new rings-flood it and wash all the oil off the cylinder walls! Nice!!
I really love this Channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍Jimmys world 🌎 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I could fix that one brass bolt problem ur having in a snap.
And no $180 bolt.
I really enjoy these videos!
Haha those cute little wing jacks
Another good episode
I am already looking forward to your next video. Greetings from Sweden👍😀
omg I saw your mountain dew shirt and looked down I am wearing the same exact shirt. I wish I could take a picture your just going to have to believe me. Good stuff
It's always fun to redo stuff over and over. Quite funny.
Yeah, for the interior you do need some more lighting, otherwise great video as usual 😁😁👍👍
I like the look of that JPI engine monitor...looks like it gives plenty of info about the engine.
I have a JPI fuel-flow monitor, and that is pretty handy.
I would be tempted to also retain the analog gauges for cross-checking, maybe.
The exhaust pipe... surely it would be causing drag, sticking out at 90deg to air stream??
Aw just make into an airfoil shape, like a airfoil shape on a high wing strut as compared to a round strut tube. That's supposed to make quite a difference 😂
Re: the magic bolt, that's a big reason I'd prefer experimental over certified. Paying out the nose for simple stuff is insane in my opinion. Government interference ends up costing you in the long run.
Exactly!
I would have just made one?
it's just a bolt with a hole in it
Or are you not allowed to?
@@andref6956 I can’t say for 100 percent sure whether making one yourself is actually allowed. Because it’s a part of a certified aircraft, I’d lean towards it requiring to be replaced by an actual aerospace grade part.
If someone was to take an existing bolt and modify it to work, luck would have to be against you big time for an inspector to find it and see it as not approved.
Those restrictions don’t exist for experimental aircraft.
Jimmy, I am like you, I really love work. I can watch it for hours.
This is some of the greatest content out there
Uhuuuuu Jimmy is here. I LOVE YOU MAN
Love your vids
I don't know if any airports were hit during the Friday night tornadoes but there might be plenty of planes for sale up in Kentucky, or Arkansas.
Yep.... 👀
Plenty of parts
I don’t think he needs any encouragement. 😂
@@leesydneyharry7958 Likely not. But I'm trying to show him how to make a small fortune in aviation. Start with a big one.
Just when I thought the sunday couldn't get any more boring. Relief! :-D
There just ain't no world like Jimmy's world. Yea and I love this stuff. Keep putting those birds back where they belong, (in the air)..
How exciting!
I’m praying 🙏 for you Jimmy, although with A&P’s named Dr. Phil and Grizzly, what could go wrong? Yep 👍🏻
Dude, I love watching your videos, you remind me of my family. We were nothing but a living comic book. If i had any advice to give is don't change a thing. Love your boy too! Randy from SATX
love your videos Jimmy, but how do your associates keep a straight face with your shenanigans .LOL
Jimmy, I enjoy every second of Your videos. However, I realised that working with You could be best job in life or easily the worst (or both :) ). Greetz from Poland :)
180 bucks for that bolt? Is that what they call a mission-critical component? Jeez, I buy secondhand bikes for less money. Happy New Year from London UK!
I just bought my GARMIN GTX transponder from Cletus from Gulf coast for my Schweizer 300C and a special shout out to Jimmy
Holla!!
can believe you share hanger space with N16244, I flew that plane at Hoffman aviaton Saginaw Mich in the 70s, had engine failure at Port Huron on departure, glad to see N16244 still flying,
Small world!! That’s awesome
Jimmy love watch your videos
I swear this is like watching a Christopher Nolan film. You're not really sure what's going on or where you are in the story, but dang if it isn't entertaining!
That, and you don't want to admit to yourself (or others) that you have no idea what's going on. Let's all just agree to call it "art" and keep moving forward.
The Corvette in the background! Damn!
Those are the best chargers my friend👌😉
Good evening from Dublin Ireland , Ive decided that tomorrow is already the 26th so i cant wait until tomorrow HAHAHAHAHA , Great upload Jim as is all your money pit videos ( your words not mine :-) ) but i enjoy every second of every one , Regards from this side of the BIG pond ,
Ha! I've built/repaired a couple of those sundowner engine mounts in my shop
Love your channel great entertainment.
"Money to noise generator" hahahaha, quote of the day, made me Lol
Thanks! hahaha
Bravo getting that airplane running!
Great video.👍
Jimmy just wanted to tell you God Bless you and your family and may y’all have a very Marry Christmas. Wishing you much Joy and Happiness. Greetings from West Texas, Land of Sun, Fun and Sand.😂😂😂
Thanks so much! I waved at you on Thursday as I flew over at 245kts :)
@@therealjimmysworld and I’ll always wave back.😂
Your content is so much fun, I don’t know what yer doing but that’s ok
pretty cool your community is aviation oriented.
I really like the CTEK chargers!
You Sir, must have been born into great wealth.... And there is nothing wrong with that. It's good to see that you've found something that you enjoy, and the fact that you share your experiences with others via U Tube. Thanks...
Wish I had known you were in Houston I could have come and met you. Taken you for dinner or given you a nice home cooked meal
We could all go together.
I'm in Houston as well. Would love to meet him or just be able to see this plane up and running in person
@@beboxbabe55 See it! I want to fly it! Maybe buy it. Oops, wife said I can’t afford to buy it.
@@johnregan3732 lmfao! True I'd do anything to be able to go on a ride. My dream is to fly one someday, but doubt it'll happen 😏
that plate at 12:12 making space for the accessory looks screwed on from the cockpit side (nutplates visible) this might indicate that the accessory is accessible from the cabin side without taking off the engine may be?
#JimmysWorld - Great place to be! 👍
180$ for a bolt? That’s madness
Imagine what the price for a toilet seat.
Why not just drill a hole in an 80cent AN bolt? Owner fabricated parts are a legal thing.
Welcome to aviation.
@@bradmarcum2927 i would love to do that in an airliner. You can’t imagine how many times we suffered from a 5 EUR missing bolt, that could be easily procured on site..
@@bradmarcum2927If you're cobbling up parts to keep your own old bird in the air, drill away, and hope that none of your repairs go wrong. If you're selling it, then it's cheap protection from lawsuits should something go wrong. I'm sure this is a flipper.
Jimmy, I want you to make a T-shirt that says “ Jimmy says, if you got time to spare, go by air“ I like that quote I will buy one for sure.
