If you put the filter media in a vice and press it, you get the excess oil out of it and spray it with brake cleaner, and you have a very clear look at what’s in the filter

No GMO's? That is pretty much impossible. Orange carrots, GMO's. Banana's, GMO's. Selecting food on their specific properties and grow them, that is already a form of GMO.

I bought an abandoned 1964 310i 5 years ago for 20k. cost 5k to rebuild the landing gear Needs a gps but i got my multi in it and flew it about 200 hours so far. Currently down for repairs to exhaust and generators

[@therealjimmysworld]

Very nice!

Jimmy, I think I mentioned this in another video, but I’ll mention it again. I looked at this airplane (and was very serious about buying it) in around October of 2020. With stuff still brewing at work surrounding covid and whatnot it just was the wrong time to jump into a big awesome plane project. I would’ve loved to polish this thing redo the avionics and get it back in the air regularly. It’s awesome to see that you’ve made that dream a reality for me and I’m sure Clint is happy about it too.

[@Nitrohog2006]

ELT tests should be no longer than 3 sweeps. Good job on actually picking the right time though.

[@turdferguson5300]

Watching this video I realized why I don't own a plane. Flying commercial is a pain but for $92,000 I can tolerate it. If that's your hobby and you can afford it enjoy. It certainly doesn't hurt anyone.

[@purtis99]

I like and subscribe anyway but when yall prayed over the food, made me feel good about my decision. A&P Texas

[@alexdarcydestsimon3767]

Pray over the plane would be a wise move too...

[@tjansson8481]

Jimmy, love the 310. My late father had a '56 310 just like yours. Has the original Continental O-470-M with pressure carbs. Thankfully, parts are still available for the -M engines as they are very reliable. Dad flew all over the US and also to Mexico City (mid 70's), but mostly from NJ to Sebastian, FL every winter. A great airplane. Can't wait for you to finish yours. Tom in NJ

[@eddierichardson4205]

Keep them coming jimmy. Love your videos (London Kentucky)

[@terrallputnam7979]

Jimmy, You saved the silver bullet, and I have enjoyed seeing all the great things you do with it.

[@theworldsnewsplainview952]

Jimmy I am so glad you are my brother in Christ.

[@briar35981]

This is eye opening. As a common man, I can only watch you fly. It's always interesting and much cheaper. I can see why in the 80's and 90's our local airport was building hangers and extending the run way. To just a ghost town now.

[@walterthorne4819]

Great presentation…yes owning a bird is expensive..owning a twin more than twice as expensive….however.. a twin like a 310 is a really fun and fast pleasure.

[@ClearedAsFiled]

Jimmy, just LOVE your Cessna 310......you AND SKY KING are my favs......

[@halfcrazedrob]

Or for testing ELTs, we had a faraday cage to work on them. So satisfying to certify them by smacking them on the bench to hear the tone on the bench radio.

[@nsgjdw]

Thanks for the prayer brother!

Want to know a trick to see the metal easier in the oil filter paper? Take the oil filter paper to a vice and squeeze the oil out put a clean rag under and wipe excess off the top. Tell your guys this too

Great video Jimmy...You have one EXPENSIVE "HOBBY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mannsonthemove2958]

Thank you for your fun videos and your testimony!

[@stevearcher3921]

I wonder about some of his numbers... 1. Does $5000 to get home from CA include repairs/annual to fly it? 2. $27000 in electronics is a fair number but its an improvement/upgrade that might not have been required to spend. It does enhance value. 3. $11000 fuel for flight is just a cost of flying and does not enhance the value of the airplane. Same for hangar expense. Ordinary cost of ownership and arguably preserves value but does not enhance it. For example the plane wont sell for more because he hangared it, put fuel in it or because he flew it home from Ca. Just sayin!!! Still I'd think decent deal and doesnt need to be painted lemon yellow

[@greggv8]

He most likely got a ferry permit to fly it from CA to Plant City.

[@KenJames9911]

Great video, and the prayer was exceptionall awesome...

[@puremaga17]

Wow Jimmy, That aircraft is a year older than me and the maintenance cost is amazingly lower than mine for this "vintage air-frame".. I have had a couple of prop strikes, ran for years beyond Vne and had one major CFIT.. so your total cost is not bad :) Thank you Brother! God Bless

[@World-as-i-c-it]

How awesome to hear your prayer before you guys ate. 🙏 be blessed!

[@RealRickCox]

I think you've saved the 310 and a dozen other airplanes over the last year. Of all the planes you've gotten, I think you did just fine on this plane. You can't even buy an old Cessna 172 for what you have into this twin.

[@willcall9431]

Jimmy gets it. The never ending pursuit for speed versus dollars spent. I’m a big fan of the 310. Best looking vintage twin going

[@wayneroyal3137]

So, the fuel oil insurance and hanger would apply no matter what airplane, so you are ahead because of the original purchase price. BTW you should see the transformation of the house where you bought the electric car! Blue side up!

[@robertheyes3975]

So cool. Great video. Sir!

[@geotoo4117]

I was delivering some packages after hours to a small airport in Auburn Indiana on Wednesday June 28th and spent some time talking to a local pilot and mechanic. While shooting the breeze the pilot said see that beautiful bird there "about 30 ft from where I stood" I said ya it's very nice, he says I don't know how it's not in the Smithsonian because your looking at Citation jet number one. I forgot the tail number but I will be that way again soon and I'll reply to this comment. Had to share thought that was so cool to see.

[@buckmurdock2500]

Doubtful the Smithsonian wants a Citation Jet. Air and Space museum maybe? Okay, maybe not. How about the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center? I think the number is N501RT

[@mikebarushok5361]

American Airlines took delivery of the first Citation 500 in January 1972, using it for development of the carrier’s training program. Posting link separately because KZbin.

[@geotoo4117]

I'm not claiming it is the jet, the guy I talked to just seemed honest and had alot to say about it. Very nice for sure! To someone who knows basically nothing about these things, it looks like the luxurious sports car of the jet world. This has nothing to do with the jet but the same guy that owns sweetwater owns that little airport in Auburn also the old Smith field off Ludwig road in Fort Wayne. Sweetaviation I believe is what there called.

[@cduemig1]

I started flying just after you bought this plane. I now have 40?hours flying and a whole new respect for how much of a pain buying a broken CERTIFIED plane and rebuilding it would would be. Nice work.

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you for the video.

[@christopherchapman7453]

Jimmy I absolutely love your channel. I have never been in a small plane or flown anything but perhaps someday. I couldn't afford planes and motorcycle's and I don't know if I could give up all bikes to own a plane. First world problems are still problems lol

A compression check uses a different tool. They did a leak down test, using a leak down tester.

In airplane world it's called a differential compression check.

These are airplanes, not cars. It’s called a compression test.

[@markthegunplumber8376]

In retrospect of my life I have found that it is better to buy a resto project that someone else has paid for, because when they sell it they're taking a bath on it. It's always funny to watch resto projects and see the comments about how "I would have or You Should Have". Until they were the ones paying the bills, then those items aren't as important then.

[@rcclark8818]

Jimmy you need to figure in that you have an asset that is increasing in price, and the benefit of use. If you sold the plane tomorrow for 80-90K and figured in the money and time you saved flying, you broke even. Love the channel Russ

[@macgvrs]

After watching a number of these videos I have come to a conclusion. Too pricey for me. There is an old saying, how do you get a small fortune? You start with a large one. I, unfortunately, don't even have a small fortune. Guess I'll just have to live vicariously. Amazed at the cost of aviation stuff. Wow!

[@davidholden7331]

Another great video

[@ONee-mf5nc]

Jimmy, you can do an oil analysis costs are about 60$ (60€ with us in EU) on all engines incl. your Conti‘s it will show you more details than the scraping the oil filter than you should use Phillips66 XC aviation 20W50 as lubricant engine oil, no semi synthetic stuff for those old boys 😊

[@shanehills2698]

Ok you spent a lot money getting the 310 back in the air. But, hey, its worth every penny, right. Of course it is. Good work team.

[@alexdarcydestsimon3767]

When you plan to build up multi engine time, when you see the price of new multis... this plane is worth every penny.

[@landrelarose745]

Jimmy, it's tell tale, tell the tale. It's the same word that's used in a tall tale. I believe you know what that is. A tall tale is a story that was exaggerated. Such as that eight in fish turning into a river monster.

[@automan1223]

you should have some oil filter magnets already on the oil filters. Maybe a magnetic drain plug too. Put some Restore oil treatment in the troubled engine. Shake the can well-then go fly.

Hey Ole Jimbo there are about a dozen or so really good anti friction additives you can use to help sooth your pocket book for as long as possible Yes even aviation approved .

[@murraycooper]

Would the hanger fees, Ins and gas/oil not fall under normal operating expense for any airplane? Wouldn't the actual cost of this airplane be less those expenses? Either way, you saved a great airplane. Well done!

[@BilltheBruinsFan]

No, they are an appropriate expense because he's storing it to repair and sell, not operate.

[@JAI_8]

6:48 So … $ 92,500 ? That’s a lotta clams! But doesn’t the linguine of life always taste better that way??? I flew around Oshawa, Toronto, Downsview, Peterborough, about 20 years ago in a 310 a lot like that one (although I gotta admit your silver streak is really cool) with a instrument-multi-commercial friend and I loved it. Fast, but not too hard to keep ahead of during an IFR flight. Complex, but not too complicated. What a nice plane! Thanks for the video.

In aviation, boating and Italian sports cars circles, there's a saying, the two happiest days of your life are the day you buy your first secondhand plane/boat/Ital sports car, only to be surpassed in happiness by the day you sell it.

What is the saying.... Money isn't everything - it's just the one thing you need to get everything!

[@ssn608]

But adding cost of gas for flying is an operating cost, which should be seperate from acquisition / refurbishment. Add same cost of gas and oil to the acquisition cost of a good running example, which you pegged as $75k, and your cost doesn't look AS awful....

I owned a Seneca 2, later just starting to rent planes. Maintenance is expensive on all the toys even homes. I started renting boats, jet skiis, etc., later in life as tired of maintenance.

[@TreDeuce-qw3kv]

Among the many airplanes my step-grandfather owned and who was a high time accomplished Bush Pilot, he considered the Cessna 310 the most dangerous plane in his fleet. As an FBO owner he never rented the Cessna 310 and rarely flew it.preferring his Navion. But... he thought it was about the prettiest plane ever built.

[@LuisMiguelGarciaTorres]

heres an idea for you Jimmy. Try to get your hands on some airliner meals and rate them.

[@lyfandeth]

You can't do an honest test on airline food while you are on the ground. Physically, your sense of taste and smell change at lower air ptessure. IIRC an airline cabin is pressurized to match a 10,000 foot altitude? And much drier air. So the meal companies actually change their recipes, to compensate for this. They are actually NOT intended to be eaten on the ground. FWIW.

[@woof3598]

I remember when the 310 pilot did his anual and they found the landing gear bay had cracks and the cost was unbelievable

[@mikebarushok5361]

So, the field test of the ELT only checks for Xmit on 121.5 ? They also transmit on 243, but I suppose the equipment to receive that frequency is less commonly available.
