Kicked Out Of My Hangar...Cheapest Twin Engine Airplane In USA

[@AaronBockelie]

Just seems like a good honest plane. Maybe its older and a little greasy and dented, but definitely sorted. Your ground crew is as much a part of that plane too, they're the real MVP here.

[@therealjimmysworld]

100% it takes some serious crew know how for these old birds!

[@andrewivey3336]

Dang you, Jimmy! After a near lifetime of admiring and living around planes, you have forced me to go to school and get my license. Dad was a navy and Delta pilot, brother has been flying mostly Gulfstreams for 25 years, so I started my formal training in January to at least get a couple ratings before I turn 60 later this year. Watching your channel is expensive!

[@willhibbardii2450]

Test pilot Jimmy Day! Every time we fly an aircraft fresh out of maintenance the pilot becomes a test pilot! I practice lots of ground testing to find the pesky problems with aircraft that's been sitting. Vacuum pumps, algae in the fuel lines, tachometer cables, electrical, faulty radio channel selectors and the list goes on & on... Gyros don't like to stand still, and their bearings get flat spots and quit. The more an aircraft is exercised the fewer problems... Cheaper to keep it flying than to let it become a hanger queen. The longer it just sits the more problems develop. Great job guys!

[@MichaelSteeves]

There are motorcycles that put out 300 hp! (at 9000 RPM for 10 seconds at a time). As much as most certified piston aircraft engines are designed in the 1940s, they are designed to put out a large, steady amount of power for extended periods, a very different requirement from road vehicles.

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

The last bike I had red lined at 12,000 rpm and that was a "super naked" while the more full race version with the same engine but with lighter titanium vales revved to 14,000 rpm and put's out just over 200 hp so yeah, quite a bit different lol.

[@petermendoza1170]

Hi Jimmy, this Geromino was my dad's first twin (1961 though) and from NJ we flew every year to Florida,the Bahamas,and the Dominican Rep. when I was a teen. We flew nonstop to Myrtle Beach,them again(at night) direct to West Palm Beach Airport. We didn't have the 3rd window but we DID have half enclosed landing gear doors which he designed and smaller engine air intakes which gave us increased airspeed made of fiberglass,a one piece windshield and the pointed nose like yours. I want to THANK YOU for the video as I watched with lots of happy tears (RIP dad)❤ She was eventually sold in 1972 to a new owner living in Lake Okeechobee, Florida and always hope if shes still in the air.

[@terryhunter2526]

Okeechobee Was a main point for drug smugglers back in the day. Your airplane might have been in on that.

[@emmettbaker5024]

Now there is a man who knows how to lean while on the ground. Most everyone I see leaves it at full rich, which leads to lead fouling of the sparkplugs and massive lead deposits in the cylinders. And I second the thought that you should build your own hanger. You could certainly use the space!

[@robertthomas5906]

The real trick for me was to remember to really check and make sure I reset it to take off. TCP helps.

[@michaelbarrett1914]

It wasn't too long ago he could have bought an entire airport with hangers here is Selma, In. for not a lot of money. It was an airport with about 8 multiplane hangers from the 50's through the 80's. Then they stopped using it for an airport and just farmed the available land. A few years back the demolished all the hangers but one and tore up the runway.

[@patrickflohe7427]

[@Scremndemon1]

I gotcha beat, I’m elbow deep in a Cat 6 diesel marine with a clogged inter cooler and a barely functioning impeller that I’ve had to special order to be made. So far I’ve removed the impeller cover removed the impeller, honed the pump wall replacing the woodruff key in which I’ve had to fabricate replaced the cover without the cover and have flushed the system with barnacle Buster. Let sit for 4 hours with solution in the system and when I reversed flow found some awesome stuff. 4 broken anodes and enough broken pieces of impeller to make one lol. She’s cooling now lol.

[@dcallan812]

Just a small leak, but not what you want to find just before you hit the ground. Great update. 2x👍

[@mikeday62]

It's nice when both flaps deploy and retract in unison.

[@richardmartin4652]

That was one of the smoothest launches I've seen...And to only find one item pre-flight run-up is amazing. There is something to be said about these older aircraft.

[@kengerace]

If that was an old janitrol heater…amen to 86ing that thing. Following the checklist to a T it was either melt your face off hot or frost on the windscreen. Then upon completion of the flight there was a black carbon streak down the side of the airplane and the exhaust tube was melted. Was close to going down in a fireball. It was a twin Comanche as well. Also had a full electrical failure when the flap switch was touched. This one had the manual pump between the seats with the jack handle you had to pump for the gear. That was at LAL. Gave everyone the ability to practice light signals after loosing comms as well. Still great airplanes though.

[@therealjimmysworld]

[@budddove6480]

A stock 350 cubic inch chevy doesn't put out 300hp. Its actually pretty comparable to the plane engines 180hp. Even the high output engines of that era were only good for around 220hp. Take a foxbody mustang for instance ((ive owned 14, still have 3)) They only pul out 230 on a good example. The fact that this plane has a air-cooled and reliably kicking out that power sustainably is impressive to me. Ive never been into aircraft whatsoever. Just found your channel 2 days ago by mistake. Ive been binge watching amd have enjoyed your content. Nice to see someone who doesn't have to act like a know it all or overly animated to produce good content. You have a lovely family by the way.

I own a ranch , where I live, 18 miles from Seguin, Tx I'm a retired Continental pilot. Around here those are hometown twins, lol I taught in them and did presale flights out of Geronimo airport here. Great airplanes, we used to spin them into the dead engine to show customers how amazing they were.

[@therealjimmysworld]

That’s crazy! I’m not surprised they could recover from a single spin, but geez… scary!

[@preacherF-15]

@@therealjimmysworld no, we did a 3 turn spin into the dead engine from 5000 agl. It recovered easily by 3000 agl. One word of caution, these were ACTUAL Geronimo's. Since the company folded, people have tacked on a few of the conversion parts and CALLED what they had a Geronimo, but they were more Geromensteins or Frankenonimos... Just pieced together bits tacked on to stock Apaches. I wouldn't spin an Apache in either direction.

Perfect example of Murphy's Law. "Anything that can happen WILL happen". Having multiple mechanics working on the same project saves time but adds complexity. Adding the "New guy" added more to the mix. And with all of that considered the job was still completed correctly. Good thing the owner wasn't complaining about how long it took to get the job done!

9:45 you don’t have to pour it out to verify its full.. just pump in some 5606, more than you think it needs, it’ll overflow out the nosewheel area when full. Then cycle the gear on jacks, and it’ll purge out the excess out the nose gear again.

[@stevec7596]

Air doesn't cavitate. That's what water does when pressure changes it from liquid to gas. Prop tips get shock waves which increases drag and reduces lift. It can cause the tip to stall, but not cavitate.

[@WarblesOnALot]

G'day, You're almost not wrong. Water Cavitates because it can't be compressed and if you try to decompress it then it'll wrap Skins of Surface Tension around the Bubbles of Vaccumn which one has "pulled" out of the Liquid... Air either Flows or it Turbulates, and when a flowing Airstream is obliged to speed up it lowers it's Pressure, and the locations where the Low Pressure is significantly below Dew-Point will become visible via Condensation appearing in the Air. Calling Condensation Trails or Clouds in Airflow "Cavitation" is as right as it can be - when applying Liquid Fluid Dynamics Jargon to an Aerodynamic Phenomenon rather than a Hydrodynamic one...; but it communicates the Concept well enough - I thought... Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

Taking off on 24 I don't think you could reach 2,000 before you reaching the higher restrictions. I do love the KZbin channel, please keep it up.

[@Bugdriver49]

You're correct, there's a world of difference between aircraft and auto engs. About 30 years ago I was in school to get my A&P, while fight instructing on the side. Was surprised to find out aircraft engines were still using cast iron rings!!!....an avg auto eng produces about 1 HP per cu in...an aircraft eng puts out about 1/2. HP. the reason dances around reliability.

My motorbike has a Rotax one cilinder, and that thing has a 3.9-ish inch piston, and like 3 inch stroke. It is a 650 cc and it loves high revs, can handle 7 or 8 thousand, but 5 is plenty. It would not surprise me, if Rotax also sells a 2.6 liter 4 cilinder, with four of those pistons. And I know plane engines are often pretty simple, on purpose, just to keep them running no matter what. Five valve heads make no sense if you never rev the engine, which saves out a prop gearbox. Gearboxes is extra weight and bearings that can grind to a halt when you do not want it. Thanks for the lesson in pistons and a torquee engine. Maybe planes are fun, after all.

I worked at a Beechcraft dealer where a customer came in for major work. Both engines went out for exchange, the propellers went out for work and the interior got reupholstered. Avionics people were in there changing radios and running wires. It was down for several months. The owner would come by and chat with the shop foreman and they'd both walk around the airplane checking progress. All the parts started coming back and the interior looked fantastic. We even Armoralled the tires. All put together, the lead mechanic took it out for a few hours and then he went up with the owner for a few. We dumped the oil for a quick look and then the owner came back.... with his wife and 4 little kids. I chit a brick and wondered if I did everything right. They hopped in and flew to Texas. The following week, the airplane came back for an oil change and no writeups other than a few questions about the avionics. I got out of airplane work because of failing eyesight. But let me tell ya...that work ethic stayed with me.

[@pilottadeus3748]

Doesn't the RPM of the propeller depend both on the RPM and the torque of the engine? That'd mean that an engine with large cylinders would produce a high torque which would then cause the propeller to spin at a high speed as well.
