Jimmy, I started flying when I was nine years old. I soloed when I was 15. I am now 68 years old and due to a medical condition I can no longer fly. The way you described your passion about aviation is exactly the way I’ve always felt since I was nine years old. I may be 68, but what you are doing makes me feel like I’m nine again and just discovering the thrill of soaring in the air! Thank you.
Very similar here. First started flying very very young, solo’d at 17 but never actually finished flight school. Went into a career in aerospace as a mechanical / applications engineer. Still always loved all aspects of aviation and then finally went back and finished my part 61 ppl a few years ago and in the middle of finishing up my IFR rating this year
Paul, my Dad took me for my first airplane ride when I 7 or 8. He got his CFI, taught me to my PPL level, and then I ended up going in the Air Force, moved around and just didn't have the money after I got out to continue flying. I'm 64 and I don't know if I could get my medical back, but if I had the money (I still don't) and could get my medical back, I would love to fly again. Hey, while I'm dreaming, I saw yesterday on Controller a 2022 DA62 with 850 hours on it for $1.25M. That would be the airplane I would want today, with gas prices going higher than the service ceiling of most piston airplanes. Cruise at 180 knots at 13gph TOTAL on readily available Jet-A? What's not to like?!?
We are the same age and I started about that age....
I ride a bike everyday with a twenty pound back pack for the past twenty years and I watch my weight and what I eat. ( Everybody makes fun of me because I ride my bike everywhere... THEY DON'T KNOW ..about my flying addiction😃)
I am very deep into flight simulators to keep the mind active. If you can ...
get a good home flight simulator and keep the spirit alive!!!
Keep em Flappin....
🐦
Thanks. That’s a good idea.
@@larrysouthern5098 You keep riding that bike every where, the minute you stop is the minute you put weight on and loose your fitness. Oh yeah, and stop the flight simulator either.
If you don’t use it you loose it.
I just got my Haro Master re release with Skyway Tuff 2’s, it’s a 24” inch cruiser B.M.X which I’m on every day every where, and I got back into Snowboarding in 2019 and go every year, and I wanna do more while I still can.
And at 51 I still love it just like when I started. Do what you want if you still can, before Father Time no.
Silas, was just thinking on how awesome the camera work is on the videos. You're getting some great shots, and you're such an important part of the team.
I tune pianos for a living and tune for lots of concerts and recitals. It's easy to feel unimportant because the pianist gets all the applause. However, it's those behind the scenes jobs that make everyone else look good (we hope)! Just thought I'd encourage you today. You're doing a great job! Keep up the great work! 👍🙂
Great comment!
Totally agree, keep up the great work👍🇬🇧
@@davestelling k
Yay both engines ran. Don't give up.Keep going.
Your camera kid is awesome Jimmy! You are both so lucky to be able to spend this awesome time and share these experiences together. Chip off the ol’ block!
What I like about the 310. It was designed and built in the 50's when everything else was Kludge. Look at cars, trucks and other airplanes. The 310 is like someone went 30 years into the future and brought back the state of the art from the 80's. It is a really beautiful airplane for it's time. Like the DC3 or the XB70. When they were built, they were the future. So glad you are attempting to save this 310 and that your plans are to do it right. Congrats on the engine starts, Jimmy and crew. Now it's time to get down to some serious work. 💖👍👍
Exactly compared to everything else of that era it was a futuristic space ship.
310 was a diamond. I 've always like the Super Beech 18
Isn't the 310 the same plane SKY KING FLEW. ?
@@timothyhead1832 yes. The first was Beachcraft 17 I believe. MY faviost was the Beech Super 18
Your attitude toward not giving up is amazing, I’ve saw you excited about the 310 and I saw you questioning your decisions in the 310, but when the wheels lift up it’ll be worth it, I’ve came to the conclusion that building one from scratch would be a lot easier (and cleaner) hats off to you Jimmy and Company
Waaaaaay easier!
@@therealjimmysworld, the movie THE BOOK OF BOBO FIT, has a woman mechanic in the movie who reminds me so much of jimmy.
@@therealjimmysworld that really depends on the complexity of the build (not fast build), my Glasair took 4000 man hrs to build.
Clearly Jimmy is a millionaire by now. Well, if he started the rebuild as a billionaire ofcourse. The amount of suffering he puts himself and his crew through to entertain/educate the masses is admirable.
Hi Jimmy. A great Tail number would be. JW82CP Jimmy's World 1982 Clear Prop. Great video as always. Cheers. Jeff. From England.
I, too, am 68 and I, too, soloed at 15 and was passionate about aviation since I was 8. It drove me to grind through all my ratings, get the experience, and finally become an airline pilot. I retired as a United Captain 3 years ago. I agree that this channel is great.
You are a great communicator,probably an even better dad.
From Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️
New sub here. Watching the level of commitment to getting this plane in the air again is inspiring. Countless hours of work and a great team behind you is key. Can’t wait to see the completion!
Thanks so much!
Aviation changed my life too! My first flight was in a Hecules C130. I was in an aeronautics school at 15 years old and we just finished changing a leaking hose on one of the engines as part of our training. When the profesor call us for the test flight no one chicken out. It was so good.
I was an aircraft in the Air Force for twenty-four years on KC-135's, for most of those years I had my own to take care of and I did with a passion much like yours Jimmy. Today I have to pilot a powered wheelchair, but by watching your videos I can reminisce and dream of a miracle that will restore my health to once again indulge in that which was my passion for all those many years! I thought of a N Number, one that could be used; N310PX For 310 Phoenix (Flight of the Phoenix) 310JW, for Jimmy's World is taken.
N310JW is already taken on another Cessna 310. However, N310PX is still available.
It was exciting to see them run, I still hold hope you can get her in the air. I live outside of Wichita, Ks, my dad worked at Beech Aircraft for 42 years as an inspector. Every year Beech had a family day where the workers could bring the family to Beech, show their family which plant and section they worked in, and go up for free airplane rides. My favorite plane is and always will be the Bonanza. That V tail just looks sexy. Also living close to Wichita meant McConnell AFB, and getting to see all the military planes flying all over the area, and as well, the Base Open House every year. I was fortunate we always went every year, and later, the occasional one due to budget cuts. I always wanted to learn how to fly, but never could afford it. My closest thing to it was working at a small airport East of Wichita, doing flight line jobs, fueling airplanes, cleaning them up, things like that. I was also fortunate to go flying occasionally, including flying occasionally to a city in Ks in the far SE corner, with a pilot and a Dr who went there every two weeks on a Friday to take part in a clinic ran by several Drs who took turns gong there to treat patients.
One last thing, living close to Wichita has afforded me to witness one of the coolest airplanes, a B29 to be completely stripped, gone through and rebuilt. I haven’t been able to go fly in her yet, but I hope so before God calls me home. At 64, the time is starting to catch up, but I hopefully still have some time to accomplish it. So, if volunteers can rebuild one if not the most famous B29 out there, or many others, I’m sure if Doc can speak, it would tell you to keep going.
I was an Army Aviator back in the round or flat engine days and never ever pushed a throttle or pulled pitch that is was not an adventure.
Your comments on flying are mine exactly there is nothing to compare to the thrill of the take off or the satisfaction of landing.
Thank you for bringing back a flood of great memories.
Jimmy, keep going! When thinking of the different ways to do things, there is the right way, the wrong way, the government way, your way and my way. But the only one way to do this and it is the right way. I thought N310CP would be a good registry number, however I looked it up and it is assigned to some Sweitzer S300 in Oregon. That is not even an aeroplane. You energy and enthusiasm is inspiring. Thanks for sharing, your pal JimP
Yeah, we definitely need Charlie Papa on the end (obviously)...just gotta figure out some other, appropriate numbers!
Dad gummit you beat me to it - "Ground, Cessna 310 Clear Prop at parking ready to taxi with information Prop(a) Can I get a ... Clear Prop!. Do we have our clearance, Clarance?, roger Roger, Thats Clarance, Oveur, ..... huh???
Watching these old Planes Is bringing back alot of good memories. I went to Aviation School in High School. And I quit after a year in a half. I kick myself in the butt. Because I thought it was Awesome working on those Planes. But I was a smart ass kid and didnt have my head where it needed to be. I often wonder where I would be if I didnt quit school for it. Great Job to your crew for getting the 310 running again. Alot of people have no idea what it takes to get these engines running and the plane back in the air. Like you said alot of people doing these vehicles think thats tough. Well when a plane gets back up in the air thats a Accomplishment that is very hard too do..Great Video Jimmy.
What a terrific way to end a great weekend! Watching the 310 kick off both engines! Jimmy, be sure to practice the 310 engine out procedures a lot!
Jimmy, what an emotional roller-coaster. She doesn't smoke. She looks amazing. I hope you keep going and she, like The Pheonix, flies again. Great filming Silas. Can't wait for Wednesday.
Jimmy, I loved hearing how passionate you are about aviation, you got the bug bad!
Nice job sir, nice job! Love it!👍😊👏👏👏
I loved your explanation on your passion for aviation. It was sincere and believable. I’m 72 now and hung out at our county airport so much they decided to put me to work. I was 14 then. They showed be how to refuel planes and actually left me in charge of the airport and Unicom on rainy days while the instructor and friends went to the bar. LOL They paid me in flight lessons. Sadly I didn’t get my license and spent my whole life looking up when I heard a plane and wishing it was me. So now I fly my home flight simulator with Eastern Hops Flight Community and get some satisfaction there. I enjoy your videos and can’t wait to see the finished 310 fly!!✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
Jimmy, I really like when you talked about " What it's about". To me, it's all of the above and not throwing something in a landfill because it's convenient. Clear Prop!
Jimmy, glad you’re making all these videos for us, you come off like you’re fooling around sometimes, but I can tell you’re very particular and detailed. Please keep up sharing your adventures. Best regards, J
Thanks so much!
Having grown up in the Aviation world I can relate to everything you said. My dad was a CFI, CFII, and ATP. I started official lessons at age 11 so I know Silas is getting excited about flying. God bless
Hi from Melbourne, Australia. I’m so happy for you and your crew to get those engines running. Can’t wait to see the 310 flying!
Yezzir! Both spinning on their own! BRAVO ZULU!!! And, about round engines dripping oil - it was the first thing I looked for when I did my walk-around of the C-117D's I flew, back in the day.
Bro I'm definitely learning, being, entertained, enjoying everything you are doing on YT!

Let’s do this! Get this plane flying!
Observations of an Aviation Enthusiast:
1: So far you haven’t let the smoke out! Keep the magic smoke in and all will be fine 👌🏼
2: The intro music is absolutely perfect for your World!
3: Jimmy needs to eat!!
Seriously though, love this project and the work y’all are doing. All the best to all of you in faith that the 310 WILL fly again!
Chuck out!
Your son does great work. He's very natural behind the camera. Love the progress on the 310!
Awesome work Team Jimmy’s World / Team Save the 310!! 👍🏽👍🏽
So great to hear those engines roar 👌🏽 N number should be N310JW
🤟🏽😎
N310JW is already assigned to another 310.
😩
N100JW is available if ya gotta. I always think it's bad juju to change plane's number especially on a classic.
New Tail number: "N310MM" for the Mighty Mouse 310... 🤣
Great video Jimmy!
Someone else already has that registered.
Jimmy, thanks for sharing your passion. Great to see you edited your caution statement at the intro to the videos. So glad you and the crew are working through the issues and sharing with us. Thank you, take care and keep in touch.
Congratulations on getting both engines running. You got good guys working with you
Looking forward to this one! Loving the 310 series!
Hope you enjoy it!
ahhhhhhhh, second weekly Jimmys world fix. Yep, I'm addicted. And yeah I got a tear in my eyes when you got them both going at the same time. I figure I'll bawl like a baby the day it leaves the ground. I have nothing invested but a few items from your store and a profound need to watch your channel. Thank you to all you guys.
Clear prop !! You really made me smile with this one. Both engines running !! 😃😃😃
Congratulations! Lots of hard work just to get to this moment. Enjoying the journey thus far.
Hey Jimmy
What a rush! All of your videos are amazing, but this one was a showcase for everything you’re about; the scurry of activity, the team all working together on camera, and the sense of commitment and fun - it was joyous. Silas, you’re also a legend; your camera technique along with the team’s editing skills - just superb.
Shout out to all you guys in the US; I’m upside-down in Aus where we’ve all been mostly stranded for the last couple of years - and with state borders only now opening up, even flying has been limited to local skips. When I can get to the US, I’m going to come look you up and buy you all a beer and lend a hand if it’s needed, but until then I’ll make do with merch etc.
Thanks again for bringing some light into what is a crazy world at the moment - (clear) props to you and the team, you’re legends. Stay the course!
Mike
Jimmy the part starting at 8:50 about why we love aviation should be a stand alone vid. Awesome description
75 bravo is a very special bird ! Keep it ! and break a world's record !
N930JW. Why? Because 3x310=930. Three times the hours, three times the money, three times the testing than originally planned. Kudos and props(ha ha) for taking on such an ambitious project. Oh yeah, this N number is AVAILABLE!!! Keep up the great work Jimmy!
Well done Jimmy & team! - I've seen your blockbuster series from day one. Courious to see the 310 back in action. Greetings from southern Germany.
Thanks so much! Hello Germany!
I live in Australia 🇦🇺 and it’s currently 5am. I just woke up to a notification from light sleep and now have to force myself to wake up because I just can’t wait to watch your videos jimmy. You have got me hooked on a few good aviation channels. Can’t remember how I found your channel but sure glad I did !!
Good Morning!
you really make me miss aviation. Was an Avionics tech in the Marines on A-6Es. Got low power qualified... there's nothing like bringing the throttle around the horn and feeling the power. Miss it.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't missed one video, keep it going. She's alive.
I heartily concur with your assessment of flying in general; I've never flown above fireworks at night (but would like to someday), but I share your views of aviation in general.
And thank you for answering my emails!
Watching your videos along with rebuild rescue I see both of your devotion to your craft y’all are some mentally strong individuals
Stay strong. Its a glorious thing to see the progress. Too many older planes get scrapped/discarded. This one is old enough to be worth it. My go two channel to watch progress twice a week.
You are truly blessed with that kid of yours. What a young gentleman. My son is following my footsteps in aviation and is a pilot for a regional airline. I’m proud that he is part of keeping aviation alive; it is an exciting time in this thriving industry. I just don’t know how to explain the fact that it will come crashing down some day. It always does. Fly 310, FLY!
Hey jimmy have a blessed day!! Thanks for the great content to watch
Thank you!
What I love about this series is that, after watching this far, I will now NEVER try to bring an old aircraft back to flying condition. :D
That 310 is a complex aircraft as a candidate for restoration. The ancient wiring behind that instrument panel and attached to the breaker panel at the pilots left is a massive project in itself not to mention that most of the panel is outdated technology. There are dozens of less complicated aircraft that would be much more simple restoration projects.
I was a commercial truck driver almost all of my life. Military and commercial. I was driving for a company in north Las Vegas. I had a wiring problem in St. George. Utah. The Mechanic opened the dash and lo and behold all the wires from the factory had been replaced with all white wires. Don't ever do that. Love your channel Jimmy.
Jimmie, I always wanted to fly an airplane. I joined the USAF but my eyes were too bad to fly. This was back in 1957. After spending 4 years in the AF and getting married, I finally got to take flying lessons. I got my private license on May 22, 1967, in Fullerton, California. Then, we had 3 daughters and the flying was drastically curbed. The last time I flew was in 1981but I am so happy that I had the chance. I only have around 140 hours but will always love the experience. I am now 82 years old and still love aviation. I so envy your efforts to get the 310 flying , and wish you all the luck. I am flying again through your efforts. Keep up the good work.
This is awesome!!! I’ve been following this series from the beginning and this does indeed make me happy. Love the videos!!! And good luck with the other planes!! I know you probably get a million comments like this but I really truly have enjoyed this series.
Thanks so much! Clear Prop!
Hey brother! Great videos and you have great content too! As for the tail number for the 310.. it’s simple N310JW…. Your thoughts????
I haven't worked on aircraft, but I've done my share of working on ground-based vehicles. I simply can't believe the lack of smoke on firing up the powerplants. That is impressive! It was great to see some awesome suck, squeeze, bang, and blow. Congrats!
Silas your camera work is outstanding! Your doing a great job.
Congrats jimmy you’re doing a fantastic job!Can’t wait to see you get that bird in the air! Can I get a clear prop!!!
Clear Prop!
You have a great channel!! I saved a piper comanche 4 years ago that sat for 16 years. Extremely rewarding!!
Awesome! Clear Prop!
Hey Jimmy, I think those engines in the Aztec fit the Vans RV10 and they are in hot demand these days. One way to recover some $$$
That’s so cool that you got her running. Let’s get real. Sun n fun 2023.
You should put the tail number: N310CP (cp of clear prop)
Already in use by another airplane, not even a 310 or even a Cessna
Hey Jimmy. Love watching the adventure of you bringing history back to life. If yiu had it all to do again, what would you have as your first plane?
I really loved my Cherokee 180. Definitely a great choice for a 1st plane.
Jimmy we appreciate all your hard work and your crew as well. Thank you for going forward. Fly 310 Fly!!
Well, at least you got it running again Jimmy, congrats on that for sure! It’s a lovely plane, but you gotta do what’s gotta be done I guess. Make it happen! Love to see the professional work and progress, thanks from Holland
Keep up the good work Jimmy. We have faith in you
Thanks so much!
310MM would be a perfect tail number for this plane. Maybe someone has loaner engines you can throw on for SunNFun
Or 666MM...
@@bensinger297 both 310MM and 666MM are already assigned to other aircraft.
310MM is also a 310. But whatever number it ends up being, it has to end with MM
HOWEVER, the last time mighty mouse was flown was in 1984. And destiny has it, N984MM is available. So I propose this as the tail number
already taken by another 310 in CA lol
That Cessna is so so so beautiful I'm totally static and tons of tears run down my face of happiness and hope this bird will fly teal soon 😔
Jimmy and his loyal colleagues are the coolest nurds on the planet,cheers to Sparky and Grizz and to Jimmy's son....super cool 😎 💯
2 best days of a plane owner: The day they buy it and then the day they sell it. Have you discovered a third ? 😁 So excited for this episode 🙏
That pretty much explains it.
❤❤❤No Jimmy!!! Don't tear the engines apart!!!!! And forget the idea of compression testing after less than 1 h of flight @ hot engines direct after landing - it says nothing! Apart from being in a dry timecapsule for 37years they have what - 1h to 2h running time since overhaul? - You just remember what amount of complication arose simply from the decision for separating the wings from the fuselage! Talk to Mike Bush and ask who in your area is the most proficient person in taking boroscope pictures and send photos from the camshaft to him! And follow his expertise! Never touch a running system - avoid nonsense teardowns just out of curiosity! Get an experienced expert for your specific carburetors and let him do a new carburetors adjustment from scratch on the left engine! The only thing I would replace for New irrespective of the actual condition is the ignition harness on both engines and ground-line from magneto to kill switch or whatever it was that got cut at wing separation! I think you did it already but in case it wasn't on this airplane - get the magnetos rebuilt AND remagnetized to best performance possible! - it'll save you tons of time in avoiding hunting after funny engine behaviour! Or the membrane of the left carburetor is defective!
And then fly to sun n fun with whatever plane seems to be sensible it's likely to be your piper Saratoga right? Just have fun there and get new tips from the pros!
All the best to you all, Jimmy - I love❤❤❤ your 🤪 degree of passion for aviation because it resembles my attitude 😉 Keep on the good work!
PS: Before the next flight relubricate any joint/bolt from the gear and test for 💯 function!!! Please avoid a belly landing after so much work🙏
My thoughts exactly....check for oil and fuel leaks, finding none, cowl up the engines and run them up letting them get up to normal operating temperature. Shut em down, check for leaks, problems, let them cool and next day do the same. After several of these run ups, he should dump the oil, get some fresh oil in both engines and do the run up sequence again. Fresh fuel in it, fresh oil in it, then go from there. Way too early to talk about a tear down which basically means a complete overhaul on both engines and probably twice what the entire aircraft is worth. An oil analysis from that new oil, not the old oil, would give some indication of any internal problems rather than tearing the engine down..
@@northdakotaham1752 Hey Dude! - that's abrillant idea perfectly complementing the "Non tear down" approach adding solid parameters for an educated decision what measures are necessary.
@@jts4233 those engines might have some problems from sitting so long but if they did, an oil analysis or several of them over a period of time would show it.
As for the wiring, from what I have seen, primarily the wiring in the wings should be replaced. Wiring behind the panel will change with whatever new equipment gets installed there so that should just wait. Jimmy said he had different props...so go with those. Some airframe issues, light corrosion....just have to deal with them one at a time. You can't rush through a restoration and expect good results. The last thing you want to do is set an unrealistic deadline for completion.
Jimmy, you seem a little down from looking at the future needs to get the 310 flying. You are fighting hard. Keep up the great work. I know you would never fly in an aircraft you weren’t 100% sure was airworthy. I wish you the best.
I can't wait to see this thing fly!!! What a great project and thank you for your videos Jimmy.
I love watching your videos. We need more Americans like you. “Let’s go, Brandon.”
Thank you sir!
Why would you say that he has done more for the people than the con man fat boy Dump...

Tell me one thing he has done for the people besides eating a cheese burger..
Really great video Jimmy........Really good. Just love the passion and your lust for flying. Keep up the great work.

"Alright everybody. You know what you gotta do. You gotta yell it with me. On the count of 3. Ready, 1-2-3. Can I get a CLEAR PROP?" N123CP
FAA indicates that # is reserved but the reservation expires on 03/22/22.
The sweet sound of a twin! Glad to hear them run, I'm sure you will get the reward to fly it very soon.
The incredible work your team and you have accomplished!!! I am speechless... thank you so much for what you are doing for us airplane old timers Jimmy!!! Wonderful, no offense to those in the flying world, I am so glad I myself as an old A&P am so happy I am not obligated to sign off on any of this stuff to see it work... you are making it real life, Thank You so much!!!😉
Jimmy, I got my multi engine rating in a 310C in 1968 like that one and flew it for 500 hours. I loved every minute of it. A sweet airplane.
Happy you get the satisfaction of the engines turning over on their own power. How about a tail number reflecting the 40 years it set like N40YR.
I've been flying since '95. I'm in my 60's now & still I have not been able to explain adequately enough the joy it is to get airborne. Aviators are unique people.
You know, I don't think you CAN adequately explain aviation. It's one of those things that has to be experienced to be understood. Kind of like sex. Richard Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull and other great stories about flying) talked about 500' over the cornfields in the Central United States in the late afternoon in a Piper Cub, with the door open and looking out over the wheels that have dust on them.
Doesn't mean a whole lot to most people, but if you've been lucky enough to fly low and slow in a Cub with the door open, it clicks. You know EXACTLY what he's talking about.
At about the 10:15 mark when you talk about your passion, I am reminded of my favorite aviation quote from Leonardo da Vinci. “For once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk with your eyes skyward longing to return.” Been hooked for 30 plus years. “Props” to you and your crew for such an awesome channel! 👍
Thank you Silas. Without you we wouldn't be seeing the progress.
So happy to see the engines running!! Nice job, Jimmy!!
Nice to see both engines running you have done a lot great job
Hi Jimmy. Little tip from Portugal that will ease Silus (hope that`s how you write it) task cleaning oil.
Magic word "SAWDUST" will soak it well. Then just sweep it. Happy landings (& tips) from Portugal.👌Quick note:
The magic of aviation community (pilots/mechanics/rebuilders/tube chanel oxners and followers like me)
I usual follow a "healthy crazy like u" that goes by the nick "rebuild rescue". He`s a fighter too and he`s painfuly trying to rebuild a 401 I guess. I took the liberty of mencion u out for some help. He recently told me he`d already contacted u. That made me happy. Almost as if I was a small part of your comunity also.
Congratulations to all of you the battle is halfway through
What a great kid. It all begins and ends with good parenting.
Great work. Jimmy. Good luck on full check out! On all the parts!
Holy cow!! Congratulations guys, thays so freaking exciting 🥰
Jimmy looked terrified on that first engine startup- epic work guys.
I'm sensing a little sadness with the 310 Jimmy. don't give up now!!
It started! That starting fluid is really called ...........Start you Bastard! Well done Jimmy, Grizzly and Sparkie
Great job Jimmy and guys!
Hey.. Baby steps! That's a win in my opinion! Like you said still a lot of work before she's
airborne but great job to all involved! Enjoying the series, keep up the great work!
When working on aircraft, haste makes waste! Not to mention being in too much of a hurry trying to make deadlines will get you killed.
Hoorah cowboy here again nice work guys at least you know all y'all's hard work up till now has not been in vain cudoes keep doing what you're doing and remember be safe healthy and happy God Bless 🤠
Use the Tail Number from the CESSNA 310 plane used on the tv show SKY KING
In every project, purchase, business startup, almost everything in life calls for an exit plan. Great channel for pushing that limit.....
Both running Thats great job guys!
So far it looks like that 310 is going to be so nice you'll just keep it. That first flight and the first one after such a major rebuild is sort of scary. I rebuilt most of a CGS Hawk ultralight, almost the whole airframe with the exception of some small parts here and there. I was nervous but not shaking when I decided to fly it. A few crow hops, taxi back to the runway end and go. It flew so well it flew hands off when sitting normally, goes into a shallow dive leaning a few feet foreword, and shallow climb leaning as far back as I could. I was very exact at setting all decalage, incidence, and CG. That was the end of many months of worry. I had a great time on it for 300 hours then had to sell it and move to a far away job offer.
CLEAR Prop! Indeed! Good job!
