Abandoned Air Plane Cessna 182 Sky Lane

I am a pilot, firefighter, and Air Force Veteran. I found two planes that where destined for the Scrap yard. These planes haven't flown in 14 years. I tracked down the owner and made a deal to save the planes, Join me on the adventure of putting these two great airplanes back in the air.
Don't for get to check out the video on the abandoned airplane a 1979 Baron B55. Both airplanes where owned by the same owner and sat at the airport for 14 years. These planes where destined for the scrap yard. Thankfully I was able to purchase these planes and rescue them from the scrap yard (hopefully). I am a combination of Jimmy's World and Rebuild rescue. If you haven't seen their videos please check them out. This journey is just beginning.

Looks like it would be helpful to have the maintenance manual! 😊 It would significantly reduce the guess work! 😮 Thanks for sharing video! 😊

[@campgroundsacrossamerica]

Keep the good work. I just purchased a Cessna 172 N version with the 180 hp upgrade and it already has new avionics and paint and prop. I just need to go get it.

[@adamthomas7514]

I understand your eagerness to get it going, but unless you are an A&P and have a hangar to do an annual inspection in you are risking losing stuff disassembling everything right there on the ramp. It most likely will eventually need the engine gone through. Even if it starts It may not be reliable. Camshafts, lifters, and stuff tend to corrode when airplanes sit that long. Vacuum pumps, starters, and gyros deteriorate as well. It’s is neat that you got an abandoned airplane just stay safe and good luck.

[@chuckhiggins15]

This A&P IA would not hesitate to buy or obtaine these aircraft. IF the log book and some matenance are present, good. A total teardown disassembly inspection should be happen. The parts, etc, manuals are still available, looks like a Cessna, What ever you $$ for purchased, A BUY, A value, restore to Air Worthy. $110,00 BILLS. Don't run the engine, inspect for corrosion , that can chew bearings up quickly. You NEED an A&P or kill the

[@thesearcherman6652]

I like your videos! Thanks!

Thank you

Don’t listen to the critics hang in there with your goal you will be flying it one day do whatever it takes 👍👍👍

SAME CANT WAIT TOO SEE MORE!

[@Daybreakaviation]

Hope to have another video posted this week

[@muhammadsteinberg]

The paint scheme looks similar to mine. If something happens to me, my daughter (pilot) will keep it going. When I brought mine one of the cylinders was reading 56 due to not being flow consistently. It slowly crept up to low 70's since I've had it.

[@lmfarms4611]

I don't know your experience level, but I hope you got all of the books and inspection with it, I here it takes awhile for the FAA to go thru every thing to ok it for flying again. I would work with an A&P inspector to make sure everything is right. Also I would strip everything out of the airplane, to do an inspection. Just because it's shiny and new on the outside doesn't mean everything is ok underneath. Next I would pull all of the plugs and drench the inside of the cylinders & bore scope them. Lastly an oil change and grease all fittings. before I would do any thing.

[@mattivirta]

not need ALL, only poroscope cylinders, logbook have hours, and checking frame corrosions, not matter all other, lot can repair in home, paint,exhaus other than frame corrosions, not lot work.

[@wshauck9527]

I did some research Wellinton AL is 85 miles from Calhoun Ga where the plane is located.

[@AllenFox-g3t]

Hello Sir Would you be able to record a video about how to remove and install the engine cowling on Cessna 182 . Thanks

[@Daybreakaviation]

I will try, they are a pain to get off, you have to unbolt the cowl flaps and breather to get it off.

[@mikekobel]

a dry ice blaster would go a long way toward cleaning things up under the cowling and give you a good look at corrosion damage if any.

[@Dezzy-e8b]

Sounds like they are registered

[@jeffreybryner1196]

So she's a 1976 CESSNA 182P. Wow. What's the Tach time? I see the last registration was Feb 25, 2020. Was that when you bought it? What did you pay for it?

[@Daybreakaviation]

I bought it back in august of last year

[@blimpcommander1337]

Unless it has been treated with something I can only imagine that inside the wings have a ton of corrosion as I have never seen a cowling completely corroded through, before. I somehow imagine the corrosion was the reason the last annual wasn’t completed.

[@charliemcsorley6286]

This airplane will be a real money pit, for sure. If you have to hire an AP to do all the work, all I can say is, good luck.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

horrendous money pit. might as well just get to the corrosion first, then get a new engine from Lycoming and this time get a ported and polished one, they have nice nifty chrome valve covers.

[@VetOnFire]

Well, is it still a paperweight?

[@philrudd7062]

Did you pull all the plugs and put penetrating oil in them? Also try to turn the motor over without the plugs so there is not any compression.

[@chuckhiggins15]

This A&P never would oil the plugs. Clean out carbon junk, gap the contacts, check the ( ohms ) resistance with a meter. You shade tree mechs bother this A&P. End this.

[@philrudd7062]

@@chuckhiggins15 I was talking about putting oil in the cylinder.

[@Marvinfj32]

please buy a microphone, very hard to hear, but good job.

[@Daybreakaviation]

I bought a mic for the latest videos, Please check them out and thanks for watching.

[@fly-n-m9445]

Did you buy it? Are going to get flying? Probably need to replace all hoses, seals, anything rubber really.

[@Daybreakaviation]

Yes I did buy it. More videos coming soon

[@mattivirta]

not big job change all hoses, door etc seals not important can change when first have ready and can fly. later.

[@pshattuck1]

Are you a certified A&P?

[@emmanuelalmonte2307]

Why was its down for 14 years ??

[@jtflypegasus]

that is a shame...leaving her abandoned....

[@mattivirta]

good condition easy repair back to fly cheap.

[@jameslucas5658]

Going to have pull the engine over by hand before you get it started w/ electric

[@juliojames5986]

At what point is a certified mechanic required on inspection tear down ?

[@chuckhiggins15]

True, FAA regulations, An owner cannot disassemble an aircraft part. ? google FAA and get the details what an owner can work on HIS aircraft. A lot of items or inspection are listed. However, "TEAR down is not permitted. A&PIA.

[@hermantibbs5644]

Does it have a new home yet?

[@chattadaviriyaphap]

I thought the background looks familiar before I realize this is my home airport. What are the chances lol

[@Daybreakaviation]

Small world. I will be posting more videos on this plane send the Baron that has been sitting there.

How much did you pay for this plane?

[@djal1030]

Ill buy it.

[@scotabot7826]

The word Abandoned these days means absolutely nothing any longer!!!! So, so funny!!!!

[@sebastiansmith9647]

Am I the only one that noticed he jacked the airplane while it was tied down and put a lot of pressure on the tie down points. 🤦‍♂️

[@wshauck9527]

I wish you would put the camera on a stand. Only rookies use handheld cameras.

[@Daybreakaviation]

13 year old cameraman lol. He is getting better.

[@okoboji2001]

Don't bother trying to fix that cowling, it's rotted beyond serviceability limits... Those tail feathers look pretty rough! Exhaust needs an inspection per the AD

[@mattivirta]

lot can repair dit in home hangar not need shit FAA ask ewerything. full paint can do diy lot cheapen ewery men, exhaus not need FAA anywere can repair, little corrosion can repair, only frame corrosion need inspect. and engine after you has repair something, change new magnetos etc, no need certificied repairmen, etc. lot can do diy. no problems newer. you not need tell all to FAA only add repaired parts to log book.

Seat belts older than ten years require replacement

[@publicenemynumerouno]

That a fact? I operate all of my aircraft for non-commercial flights. The tags are legible (with the TSO/PMA numbers) and the belts are serviceable. What regulation am I violating by flying them?

[@ronwade5646]

They unloaded a boat anchor on you.

[@Daybreakaviation]

i got a really good deal on it. I tracked down the owner. It is actually a solid airplane.

[@dtsh4451]

I subscribe your channel and am curious what you are going to do with the plane😂

[@pauleyplay]

Did the owner give you permission for this show?

[@Daybreakaviation]

I own the plane, so yes

[@mattivirta]

no you busines and no matter if make video no need permission all what u think.

[@kristinjohnson3655]

That engine is going to need to be torn down and IRAN….

[@charleswithey8277]

Nah

[@diannebaginski4787]

A complete teardown will not really be required.. change the oil...

[@chuckhiggins15]

This A&P agrees, corrosion has destroyed the bearings, journals, cams, etc. moisture is there. an aircraft engine is "open " and as cooling air condenses in exhaust system corrosion can form. Vehicle engines are " closed ", carburator, exhaust , prevent condensation form. $18,ooo. Bye guys.
