Unbelievable Deal: The Most Affordable Twin-Engine Plane in the US!

ComieFornia! I love it. How many people heard that?

[@DennisDay58]

I like it how you get the factory to show their processes. Thank you!

[@XY_Dude]

That mag rebuild was riveting! Super detailed work. Plane may break down, but the mags will live on!!

[@RealRickCox]

I thought the riveting was what you did when you worked on the skin of an airplane...

[@UncleKennysPlace]

Mags are shaky relics of the past. None "live on" for long, even new ones.

LOVE the Apache! It's like a DC-3, if the cargo can get in the door, the plane will fly! Period! Guess that's why the big brother Aztec was built 🙂

[@ConvairDart106]

Go ahead and load it to gross. Lose an engine, and the remaining 150 horses will take you to the crash site!

[@buckmurdock2500]

I thought the Aztec was built because the Apache was so slow it couldn't get out of it's own way.

As a Retired Aircraft Mechanic I can tell you the significant attention do detail and perfection was unbeleivable. We knew that people's lives were in our hands. Screw ups and screw off's were not tolerated. I hated those Nylon gears that were used on the Mags. So why did you have to sell it Jimmy. The Dude that got it was one lucky Buck. Anyway, I really do miss working on them. But now I just work on old Cars and Trucks.

[@thomas7770]

Good thing there is absolutely no screwing off on Jimmy’s channel. Only seriousness.

[@johnnunn8688]

What is your problem, with the nylon gears?

It was absolutely fascinating to watch the mag rebuild. If I was the new buyer I would be very impressed, great selling tool.

[@dougpartington1843]

The Apache was the first twin engine plane I flew. I'm glad you found a buyer for it.

[@omarjohnson3411]

Loved the mag rebuild. Never get to see that side, always write a check, write a check and repeat till installed. Then it's whip out the ole credit card for go-go juice, cause bank account is now empty! Keep up the great work!

[@deanhayes2977]

having worked in the automobile industry as a powder coater/ wetspayer. the parts had to be sandblasted before being coated so that the paint adheres to the parts so that the paint does not peel off the parts

[@johnnunn8688]

Trust me, sand isn’t used.

[@Shepardofman]

Just say media. Sand is a blanket term when it comes to media blasting but using any silicate on aluminum is a bad idea. Hazelnut shell or EpiX if your feeling fancy or if it's not your money. 😂😂 Definitely not sand.

[@michaeljohn8905]

The mag test part was the coolest and best part for an apprentice A&P like myself.

I love these rebuild videos.. i could watch them in real time all day long.. so satisfying!

Jimmy sent you a KZbin link to the Elvis plane you bought. Interesting history. 👍😁

[@doug440]

I really enjoyed watching that magneto overhaul. As a mechanic, it brought back fond memories of doing that in A&P school. Specifically when I used safety wire and hooked up the mag output from the tester to my classmates chairs and let the sparks fly. I know, you might be thinking “Don’t Be Cruel” but I sure enjoyed watching them “All Shook Up“.

[@pahoskins]

Since it was airplane stuff, I thought I'd watch a few minutes but I was riveted until the end! Now I know why my mag repairs those years ago cost so much. Great video. Camera work in the factory was awesome too! Thanks for posting .

[@Oldman5261]

Great video. Your attention to detail is amazing. Keep up the good work!

[@johnwebber3943]

Hey Jimmy, after watching every one of your videos, and knowing how meticulous you are about every aspect of making sure an airplane is air worthy, I would buy any rebuilt aircraft from you. When I'm ready to buy my plane, I'm coming to see you first! Keep the videos coming, they have taught me a lot about the mechanics of an airplane. Thanks!

Keep them coming man. Love your channel! From London Kentucky.😀

[@landrelarose745]

Jimmy, that black substance seals the less perfect surface of those parts. When they didn't put it on those surfaces, any liquid that touches those two parts will go into the cavity and destroy that magneto. This would mean you'll need to buy another one of them. That black layer is called a sealant. I believe it aviation grade, specifically formulated aircraft components, such as that magneto.

[@gobfranklin6759]

Great job on the rebuilding of the parts! Thanks!

[@lyfandeth]

Nice CLEAN SHOP that did those rebuilds. Even to the red flooring paper he had down instead of a workplace mat, so it could alwags be replaced after grimy use.

I guess you never read the comments but there is a really nice’66 Bonanza for sale at M91. Part 35 compliant , always hangered; great flying plane and spent a few hours in it when I was flying. There is also a great “ bone yard” at M91 but I’m not sure of the name. Back when I was flying M91 statically had the cheapest fuel in the area. If you are interested in the Bonanza just let me know.

"That was a good job you did on the Apache Jimmy. That was a proper inspection you did on the heart of the Aircraft(The Magneto refurbishment and approved testing in regards to joules standard output.). When ever a piston powerplant starts at one crank, I always say? It is a good engine. Many people don't know? One fierce turn of the prop by the hand? Suppose to start these Lycoming motors. When Ever I think about these motors; I always think about my Brothers Volks wagon. The engine setup was the same as his Cessna AeroBat. It was the exact engine, and the first Engine I rebuilt. You worked hard Jimmy, it is good to see your success take flight(You checked, then double check and you made sure everything was right- That is how we do our job Jimmy. We correct it, even if we must take back down everything. The exhaustion does not matter, because? The flight is important.) 👍

[@darwinlong8012]

Watching those mags getting rebuilt was a wonderful explanation of why aircraft maintenance is so blindingly expensive and will continue to be as long as we keep using that 1930's technology found in Continental and Lycoming engines. It also requires extremely specialized knowlege and experience to keep them running. No wonder certified aircraft are only for the wealthy. Thank you EAA for the expiremental designation.

[@Amisafeyet]

Great plane. Gonna miss it. Moving on.

[@allanweseman5433]

I am just an old retired auto mechanic. It is understandable that ignition in a aircraft is a big deal, and the FAA insists on a rather short service interval on magnetos for a rebuild. I want to know if you have ever heard of a magneto ignition failure in flight. I realize the aircraft is double sparked but you would still be able to tell if one magneto was inoperative.

as a mechanic ~11:25 on directly connecting the wires with a conductive metal clamp on a hot part of the engine seems like its made for failure. Routing wires close together is also a no no as you can have spark jump over to the wrong wire. Of course this is 1940's technology. Oh well.
