Jimmy Bought a Crane to Put New Wings on a Cessna 310! What Happens Next?

This is by far the coolest channel on the inner web! Such great content and exposure to planes that most never see. I've flown 2 million miles commercially but not one mile privately. Pretty neat Jimmy!

[@mikeiniowa7779]

Looks like everything worked out fine, I don't know of a cheaper way that wouldn't take a lot longer (except 10 people helping, that is Chinese method). Piece of cardboard taped to fuselage, may have helped with chain fall or sometimes I tie a rope on the return chain to keep it close to gantry. I would not recommend using structural beams in hanger unless you know what load they were designed for. Cameraman deserves a raise, nice job.

I just don’t have the personality/patience for all the stop and wait for all the different inspections as well as restrictions on what an ap is allowed or not allowed to do I would lose my mind lol Keep up the great work

[@mundanestuff]

I spent some years volunteering at a warplane museum, started with sweeping floors, bucking rivets, holding the end of heavy things, and got to see some amazing work accomplished by WW2 and later veterans, and very experienced A&P mechanics, learned so much and regret not following in their footsteps, but I just wasn't built to do that for a full time job. Seeing the engine come out of a B17, or a Mosquito built from scratch on jigs was such an amazing experience. This sort of experience will keep your son employed and productive, he won't have time or money to get into trouble :)

He can probably look forward to have the best life ever when grown up, having you as his father, and having the most beautiful memories to look back.

[@elmertudball7671]

In 1967 an early model 310 (over the top of the wing exhaust) came into the shop. A leak in the exhaust augmenter tunnel had coated the front or rear spar with corrosion. It was a mess. If I were you I would inspect those areas right now before you go any further!!!

[@MartyDidier]

Elmer offers valued advice! Please report back to us with what is found with possible corrosion on the Spar. Plus there may be AD’s associated with this Aircraft. In any case it’ll be the best Complete Annual it ever had! Haven’t seen your expert Inspector, is he involved?

[@gcrauwels941]

I think in his first video of this airframe he mentioned he was aware of that issue with the exhaust.

I'd have to go back and watch but I'm pretty sure he had a guy come in and check everything over.

Hi Jimmy my dad was a pilot and he had a 310. He loved that airplane. I went up with him all the time. He rebuilt the engines did all kinds of stuff to it. Sadly it was stolen out of a hanger in Auburn Ca.had it in a hanger in Auburn California and he never got it back. I remember he always had a picture of that plane in his office. So glad to see you loving yours.

[@kirburator9565]

Use a spreader bar on the hook. Connect the straps to the spreader bar on each side. That will get you at least 2 feet. It will also take the pressure from the straps off the windows.

[@jimwright9500]

I wish I lived in Florida near you. (I'm in Washington State) I'd be glad to give you some free labor to get the 310 done. It's a lie to say that once the wings come off they never get back in the air. So cool. I'm watching.

Love that video! It looks like a 1956-1958 Cessna 310. I road on 1960 310D way back in 1974 that plane was 14 yrs old that time! I have road and flown many of Cessnas 150s, 172s, 177s, 182s, 206, 210, 310s and the 401 during the 1970-1980s. Best ever I have flown is the 1969 Cessna 401A take off and landing as I was 13 years old in 1975 at that time with my dad and his good friend. But you got a good older good condition to put back together. It was great to see old planes being saved and to fly again! It was interesting to see how u can haul it through by cranes and put it back together. I bet it take lot of time and carefulness not to damage it. I congrats to you for fixing and restoring planes.

[@jeromehiggins3001]

Jimmy that's why there are spreader bars to keep your load from shifting when using a Gantry crane.

[@munched55]

Scissors lift that can lift 2t. Like those for lifting motorbikes etc. Can sit under fuss or wings to roll around

[@danblumel]

May not be a problem due to it not being very heavy, but a spreader bar for the straps above would prevent the compression at the top of the fuselage.

[@DuvalDashCams]

And it could be the extra foot the need also

[@rubenmorgan5456]

I would put a 2 ton trolley on the I-beam of the hangar and attach the chain hoist to that. But looks like you got her done. I installed one on my garage. Has made a lot of things much easier.

Not his building, owners will want an engineer to be involved IF they’d even consider it.

Supportive building columns are designed only for holding up the building. Loads on columns usually have contingency safety allowances and nothing is ever added to the columns ever even if it adds a Ton!

[@rossk4864]

If I were tasked with this, I probably would have thought about renting a small forklift from a local industrial equipment supplier (supplied with extended length forks) to allow the height needed and also provide a little mobility once it was off the floor - assuming there was enough maneuvering room in the hangar. Another option would have been a boom crane, and these are available on Amazon but probably not of the height, capacity and reach required.

[@davewinstead4834]

I’m with Ross. That was the first thing I thought of. Big forklift So fun to follow you

[@_K_W]

Boom forklift would be the best for both your solutions.

[@jadesluv]

@@_K_W with the chain hoist you can align bolt holes to the millimeter, too jerky with the fork lift

[@rossk4864]

@@jadesluv Yes, I see your point. Aligning the wing to connect the root to the fuselage would be a bit tricky with a forklift.

[@eagle2019]

I have taken a number of aircraft apart and put them back together including Twin Cessna's and fighter jets. Have always used a forklift and a long pallet with car tires as padding. The forklift should have side shifter which makes moving the wing into place on the fuselage a breeze. You need to be very careful if you're using straps as you can collapse the structure. With a forklift lifting from underneath there is less chance of "dropping" structures

Jimmy, you ARE a shrewd negotiator! 😁👍

[@nightwaves3203]

Could of used crossmembers on the top of the plane to hold the straps out away from your fuselage which also takes up strap so your new chariot would be higher. Sure is one way to keep your A&P skills going.

[@danawick9817]

Id get a electric winch and a 2000 lb engine adjuster that way you may be able to adjust the angle of the wings or the engine. Works great for pulling engines and transmissions at the same time. Can't see why it won't work on a plane
