Guess I must live right. Bought pa22 project. Very dirty like it had been buried. Stripped it down and found very little rust. Worst was under baggage door. Frame had been painted with some yellow paint that was very tough and chemical resistant.

yeah...yeah...yeah...ok...yeah...ummm...yeah...ok...ok...yeah...ok...yeah...grunt...ahh...yeah..ok...yeah ...ok... 👎

9 months later and they still have ZERO info on their website. No specs or anything. Is this thing even real or is it some kind of rip off?

Que pena que no pueda dar 1000 likes... Que cosas más bellas 😂

Bet the paint in those cans is still good!

He’s a jumper, says it all…

The real question is what does he do to have the cash to acquire and sit on all this stuff?

Every small airport has one of these guys, at our field we have a guy who has a tri pacer, super cub, and a 150/150. None of them flown in at least 10 years and he’s pushing 80, dozens have tried over the years to buy one or all, “naw, naw, I’m gonna get that back flyin for my grandson.” Lord🙄 everybody but him can see that’s never gonna happen.

I've known "Doc" (Ron's nickname) for over 20 years. He is and has always been big on ideas. As with the AN2, I have no idea what he had ever thought that he was going to do with that "bird". Pretty sure that he purchased multiple Cessna 402s, they were going cheap when folks figured out that the cost to deal with the spar AD was going to be more than the value of the airplane. Likely one or 2 Cessna 182s in there that are salvageable.

Where at in Michigan are you guys located? I’m in the thumb area and wondering if anything I could do to help the channel.

Dude, It's time for a new hat. That one is gross.

I would of guess the solenoid was the issue. Like maybe the ground wire got too hot and came off of were it was spot welded Or the windings just burnt up. The armature looked good, the contacts looked good, it had good brushes. Unless you have a soldering iron, to de solder the plug, and hit it out of the solenoid assembly, and a arbor press to press out the solenoid winding assembly, you wouldn't be able to see if the solenoid was the problem. The only way to tell if the solenoid was the issue, is to bench test the starter with a battery. When testing, a bad solenoid, would cause the drive gear to come out and in, in a continuously very fast. and make like a click and clack noise. Either, the bearing near the gear side of the armature was bad, or they didn't put enough grease into the gear reduction assembly. Because it made too much noise when turning the armature by hand. I am also thinking it was a bad bearing because the steel body of the armature has abrasion that made parts of it shinny.

I love offset gear reduction denso starters. I rebuild them all the time, taking them apart, it feels like they are meant to be rebuild.

Thank you for making, but this video could use some more introduction for the lay people who are just tuning in. Basic journalism: answer the first 6 questions in the first paragraph: who, what, why, where, when, how?

Make it into a speed swamp boat....

Hello .... I want to enroll for A&P in probably in September. I'm completely new to the aviation field. Please advise /recommend an academy for my training.

I need a small engine

That was a dash 2 Stinson. A 108-2. Has the Franklin 165 engine. You can tell by the valve covers which have the stamped reliefs for the higher lift cam than found on the dash 1/150 Franklin. The dash 3 has the much larger tail.

Hello I've watched most of your videos. Great to learn we are close neighbors. I fly out of ANQ (Angola). I did a lot of night flying to Goshen airport when I was learning to fly, back in 1991. Keep up the great work! Glad you got your home runway done, that was a lot of work! Mike R

I'm so confused and fascinated how one is able to a) afford this much storage space b) afford and amass so many aircraft c) just let things pile and pile still believing one day they'll get to completing one of them. I'm 2 weeks away from closing my first purchase on a Grumman Tiger and that's a huge stretch for me, can't even imagine having all this "stuff". I just can't relate.

40000 for 103 is a lot of money. my budget is around 10k

Backcountry Super Cubs really needs to update their website.

Thank you for showing how all mechanics even aircraft mechanics are obtuse dullards.

Giving BAS a call tomorrow. We've got a 53 foot stepdeck trailer ready to run fuselage and parts on an expedite anywhere in the lower 48. CA and OR pickup/ deliveries warrant a 15% delivery surcharge.

Progress! 🦾🫵🏻

No provinince on crucial components from crashed aircraft ..what could possibly go wrong

"We never cut." @4:44 a fuselage that was cut.

“Wow” and “that’s pretty cool” is the best the interviewer could do at a pretty interesting place? So many missed opportunities….

Im the guy that bought the prop he talked about at around the 18:00 minute mark. They made me a great deal and it turned out fantastic

They must really have good documentation on aircraft part wear.

at 16:50 I had to play it back because it appeared to look like a dead chicken's legs were hanging from the headliner/spar 🙂

The military tried it before but a propeller presented a brick wall. The airframe has little to do with it as long as it is streamline.

Gosh. I really need to learn to fly.

Nothing scarier than a parted up fuselage for zale.

“So you’re like the plane’s version of a chop shop-except instead of joyriders, your customers are just other planes desperately trying to stay in the sky. Do the wrecked ones ever look at you like, ‘Bro, at least leave me my dignity… and my propeller!’?”

I was hoping you would have found that interesting propeller shown at the beginning of your video. This man is encumbered with too much stuff, “less is more”. The mach buster a.k.a. dust collector, pretty cool vision.

Impressed so far because this Lyc 4 cyl design is a simpler installation with light weight and a decent range of timing that isn't sucking amps in cruise.

Looks like a FEMA clean up site junk yard kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHmxe6iJqLaFl7s

Lever in the back of the cab is clutch engage disengage . For pump drive.

Man I can't stand stand hoarders. He's "crunching numbers" all night trying to find reasons to put value on it while it and everything else is rotting away. Let someone who's willing to put the work in have some of this stuff

This like Tim Holts in shreveport was

Aluminum olds Wonder if dyna mount prop?

Are you kidding, do you seriously have to think about it?? "YES"!! Absolutely it MUST be saved. It is a totally unique piece of aircraft history. How often have we seen such rare, one-off prototypes left to go to ruin just because no-one gave a sh@*t? The current custodian is clearly an eccentric hoarder - good at rescuing but hopeless at conserving. Do him a mercy, take it off his hands for what he asks and get it saved! it doesn't matter if you can't spare the coin or are only lukewarm interested. The fact that you have unearthed its location makes you the standard-bearer. Contact friends and colleagues, broadcast it widely.... I can't believe that a country as wealthy as America couldn't round-up a few obscure aviation nerds to pass the hat around and form a consortium to purchase the aircraft and have it restored before it finally decays to dust. You don't even need to pay for a hangar, a used ex-shipping container can suffice for storage. And don't forget, what it was intended to accomplish still remains probably the last great, un-broken aviation record still waiting to be claimed. restoring this aircraft may inspire a new generation of speed-freaks to try their luck in the Bonneville of the sky....!

When that aircraft was being built in Livermore, CA (LVK), he was three doors down from me at my hanger and I got to see a lot of this. He was an interesting and rude individual. He never wanted anybody to have a close-up look. However, this particular aircraft was never going to fly. It was just a fake money grab to get people to invest and they did and he took in a lot and ran. You can tell by looking at the aircraft, especially the canopy that is not designed for supersonic flight and never was. What you do have is a fancy pretend airplane and then you have to look at the theoretical physics of the propeller design that he was pushing. Any aeronautical engineer will tell you that that propeller won’t work. Good luck to you on your decisions

I’d happily take home and rebuild that AN-2 before I’d go near that nightmare of a lawn dart. And that’s even if I had to put new fabric on the wings all by myself. The Mach Buster almost looks like someone saw a badly out of focus photo of an F-104 and decided to build their own even though they couldn’t get their hands on a jet engine. I’ve a couple of hours in the AN-2 and it’s actually a very good airplane. Not a fast one, just a good one. We flew it from Orange County to Las Vegas in ‘96 by staying parallel to the highway. Looking out the left side and watching 18 wheelers pass us was a bit of a hit to the ego to be honest. 😄
