Very good and wise decision their BP never second-guess that safety is Paramount and get there itis takes a backseat to that in my book always. Always nice to see p1d on here in commenting shout out to p1d, hope to see you and meet you this year in Oshkosh Greg.
It's fantastic that I can watch these videos and see how you guys develop relationships. At first these were just videos but now it feels like friends I'm involved with. Great expience to be involded in your lives. Keep it going.
Good decision to land to develop a Plan B from the safety of the FBO. I thought your controller did an outstanding job describing what she saw on her screen. A full case of Get-There-Itis would have had you air file an IFR flight on a northerly heading. It probably would have worked out OK, but the pucker factor could have been high. My uncle who taught me used to say "the sun is always shining at the funeral of a pilot."
Excellent decision making Kristoffer...it's always hard to turn back when you are excited to get somewhere! Like you, I'm a big fan of traveling VFR in our type planes if thunderstorms are a factor to ensure you don't enter an embedded one. Looking forward to seeing you at Sun n Fun!
Great engine overhaul vs new info, loved the music, good call to divert to CTY. I think that flight was the day I was planning to fly up North and got back to Boca after departing and seeing how bad the weather was. Can’t wait for the next episode with the Continental specialist on board.
Great job of piloting! I made the wrong choice during a trip from JAX to the Atlanta area and just made it though a hole in the weather. Unfortunately that gave me the confidence to try to pick my way through some weather that closed in on me. It could have ended very badly. Never again. This is a great video because "get there itis" is a very real thing.
Love the video! I really appreciate you intentionally calling out the "get there itis"! That is such a powerful motivator that calling it what it is is important. Good on ya!
Super cool. New engines has to be exciting. My brother and I are taking flying lessons and he is planning to buy a Barron, so hopefully I'll be getting certificated for flying it as well. I'm glad you diverted. That's a good example of aeronautical decision making!!
Good talk, Very valid points made. Our old Seneca we had a shop rebuild. It was cheaper ( not by much in the end), but by the time we got them, it might have been better to go new. However the plane was basically sold and the Navajo was ready about the same time so it worked out and if we had kept the plane, we probably would have just gone new. Though we also didn't know the rebuild was going to be such a long time either.
Lits of great info in this video! Answered a lot of questions for non pilot types like myself about engines. Since you're paying for new engines, I would of thought they would take a brand new one right off the shelf! I would hope so anyway. You mentioned doing a booth at Sun n Fun with Corporate Pilot Life and a few others, I was lucky enough to get to meet Shaun and Guss of CPL just last week when they flew into PDX for the afternoon and I had a fantastic time with them! Very fun to hang with and truly gracious and wonderful people! It was my lucky day and I truly enjoyed my time with them! I enjoyed your video! Congrats on your new engines, I cant wait to see how you like them.
Wise choice there! I'm the most impatient person on the planet (born and raised in MA, so that's not a shock, lol), so I can completely understand get-there-itis. I get it driving! Definitely have to change that mindset if I ever start flying, for sure. Those storms sounded extremely unpredictable - good ones to land for and wait out. Kudos to ATC for emphasizing that fact, and to you for listening! True statement there - engines do talk to you, no question about it. Doesn't matter what the engine is in - they're all somewhat similar in that regard (with obvious differences between 2 & 4 strokes, and diesels of course). Been around them my whole life on the diagnosis and repair side of things. The speed at which everything moves inside always fascinated me, especially after you've held the parts in your hand prior to assembly. Sometimes things can happen without warning, like a broken crank, connecting rod, spun bearing, or broken piston skirt, but that is pretty rare these days. It's pretty amazing they last as long as they do given how fast everything moves, and how hot the parts can get. Good part about the aviation piston engines is, most spin at half the RPM to reach peak power - slower speeds = less stress, which = longer life. Being able to adjust the mixture plays a big part in that, too (knowing where it should be is critical) - wish we had that ability with autos and outdoor power equipment today, but government has taken that freedom away from us, unfortunately, which shortens the engines' life substantially. I could talk engines all day long ... but anyway, GREAT video as always - your production quality has gone WAY up since I first started watching you well over a year ago (closer to 2, I think). Can't wait to see & hear the new engines, and note the performance differences! Keep up the great work, Kris!👍 👍
Yep, make sure you know what ADs (esp older ones) are still in effect for your engine or engines on that used plane being considered for purchase. As an example new crankshafts can be $12k each, new camshafts at least 2.5 k each,, new fuel distributor 5k each. Advertised cost typically only includes expendables like bolts and bushings, cleaning, polishing, maybe sending parts out for consultation or minor refurbishment etc.
Very much enjoyed the video. Liked the new camera angle and good decision making. My Jodel here in the UK is continental powered so I am looking forward to that flight you were talking about with an engineer from the manufacturers. Thanks Tim
Love the logo on the shirt sleeves... Very nice!!! -- RUclips should sponsor a booth at these shows (ie. Oshkosh, Sun & Fun, etc. etc.) and let RUclipsr have a meet and greet time, even thou I have no way of attending one of these shows, but that would be a great idea....
So glad we can watch this great video on the Baron Pilot channel. I would have hated to watch this footage on the Air Safety Institute's channel because you succumbed to the Getthereitis!
Congratulations on the new engines. I really like the wing camera it shows why I’ve always thought the 55 series Baron was a lot prettier than the 58s. I also appreciated the chance to watch the process leading up to your decision to divert. Too often, I think, pilots misuse their instrument rating to facilitate bad decisions to press on. Navigating through IMC is one thing but attempting to penetrate a fast moving squall line and pick your way through severe storms is clearly something else.
Love the new camera angle! Nice view of a nice airplane! I also found it interesting that even instrument rated pilots divert sometimes instead of simply picking up an IFR clearance and plowing ahead. I've known that getting an instrument ticket only means you can go SOMETIMES when it's not VMC, but not always! Keep up the good work. Congratulations on getting new engines. That's exciting.
Outside camera is ok. Once in a while. Inside is more where the action is. Equipment is more important for me. Avionics with atc is great. Front view is good as well. Good luck with your engines. Expensive.
Another great video, lime the wing camera. Thanks to you, steveo and premier driver videos i have climbed back into the cockpit and just completed my BFR. Didnt realize how much i missed it but flying by myself again is such a thrill. Last time i flew was in a T 42 army baron with the General of Fort Monroe. Now i need to find an inexpensive headset. Cant wait to see and hear your new engines.
Kristoffer, Great timing on your video as my plane went into annual and didn't make it out with me having to make a engine decision. Not sure what I am going to do quite yet but I will figure it out. Nice job on the videos and thank you for all the time and effort you put into them.
Port Charlotte has really changed from when I flew there back in the late 90's Tower and airline flights now... we used to land to the side of the runway to practice soft field landings ;)
Great new shirt - nice job. Wing mount camera nice extra. Window tint product seems to make interior comfortable. Best of all was divert decision. Sitting safely on ground always much better than wishing you were safely on ground. Side note - I'm starting panel upgrade research process. EI or JPI monitors; Avidyne or Garmin avionics. I fly a C182 steam gauge IFR certified chariot. Welcome your insight.
As far as I’m concerned you made the right call on the engines, I have never been a fan of rebuilt’s for all the same reasons plus you can hold Continental to standing for there product over time on RUclips where you have thousands of viewers, not a bad idea in my view. As to the camera view I love it and by adding a swiveling base controlled by WiFi you just might be on to something truly profound, just say’n :) Can’t wait for the next video by the way ...
"TBO"? The wing mount allows me to see the changes in the background - cloud layers, ground appearance changes - kinda cool. Didn't you at one time, have a belly mount that you used from time-to-time? I always thought that was a fun view. Thanks for all of the engine info. I never knew there was so much to take into consideration regarding this subject. And thanks for sharing your videos with all of us. The offer for coffee is still open the next time you have some time when you are in my area. I might be down in your neck of the woods sometime this year as the wife & shop for an RV (van-style.) There are a few in Florida we are considering.
New camera mount is cool. I agree, new power plants from the manufacturer is the way to go. May I ask what is the price of two new engines for your Baron? Thanks for the video. Looking forward to upcoming videos with the new engines!
When you hang around pilots as long as I have eventually something happens. A good friend of mine was killed trying to get to a home owner's association meeting. He was a VFR pilot who flew into IMC. My immediate thought when I got the call was, this was not a day for a VFR pilot. I love to fly as much as anyone. However, I never hesitate to cancel a flight if things aren't right, especially weather.
Since you asked - the wing cam is a cool shot, but it's the same shot over and over. Is tail mounting an option? Would still give a shot of the plane, but also a forward view that's not through the windshield. Just my $0.02, oh and for what it's worth I think you made the right call on the engines. Unless you're really strapped for cash I can't see going through that whole process to end up with a rebuilt engine (even when you have 2).
As the old saying goes, " There are old pilots but not bold pilots"! Look at it as just another inconvenience in life! I think you made a wise decision by having Continental do the work rather than using a shop. I like the wing mount camera. It provides a different perspective for the viewer. I guess your next video will be to your destination. Good Luck!
The easiest way to tell if your engines are getting clapped out is looking at the fresh hot idle oil pressure. When you see a significant drop you can almost be certain your bearing clearances are opening up. Obviously there are more invasive testing but that alone can tell you it's time to look harder.
Great video (and channel) ... I am new to your channel... Always had a soft spot in my heart for Barons ... Love what you have done with your flight deck... 6 pack on the left, glass on the right!
Nice to see you back! Always enjoy the videos. Interesting info about the engine swap but one bit of information was missing, COST! It seems like this is a taboo subject with most aviation youtubers. I don’t know if I’ll ever see it, but it would be great if someone can chronicle, not only their flying experiences, but also the costs of plane ownership. I guess the simple answer is If you are questioning it, you can’t afford it. Lol. I have a number of friends that tell me to just go ahead and pull the trigger on buying a plane. But I always get cold feet. Lol
Smart move. Storms are not my kind of fun! You got good time on those engines. I guess you couldn't complain. Now you can fix that split mixture levers. LOL
Great new look through that new camera. If you get a chance watch Trent Palmer's new video with a new 360 camera out on the wing you can see the whole plane it is amazing. Probably only good for experimental planes.
I like the wing mount; Also, looking forward to the video where you are talking about engine management! Thanks for the video and explanation. RAM engines are real "big" here in Texas, since they are based in KACT (Waco). Blue Skies
Great video! I agree with always quoting engines from the manufacturer, but also familiarize yourself with other options. For example, in the Twin Cessna world, RAM engines are the gold standard. A new or overhauled Continental engine from RAM is without a doubt better than an engine from Continental.
This was one of your best videos; excellent discussion and decision-making. Please bear in mind with the TCM rep ride-along that they have a vested interest in selling you engines and parts. The recommendations they have are for their benefit, not yours. I agree that FRM is usually a good deal, and that TCM may have given you some consideration to have this discussion, but they simply cannot be trusted to provide information counter to their business interests. New cam is fine, good for when it's bumpy, but pretty boring in smooth cruise.
@@BaronPilot unfortunately Tuesday was the only day I could come down for , but if you are at oshkosh this summer will come by and say hello to you guys.

Thumbs up on the wing cameras. Great video. I love all the info you give about getting new engines.
Good to see you again. Good decision to get out of the weather and good decision on the engines. Fly safe
Nice work by ATC -- thinking ahead, about going out over the water as well, and providing just the right information needed.

Approve wing Cam...picking up a new Gropro 7 Black this week.. happy flying neighbor...
Since you asked - the wing cam is a cool shot, but it's the same shot over and over. Is tail mounting an option? Would still give a shot of the plane, but also a forward view that's not through the windshield. Just my $0.02, oh and for what it's worth I think you made the right call on the engines. Unless you're really strapped for cash I can't see going through that whole process to end up with a rebuilt engine (even when you have 2).
The wing cam is not in place of the tail cam. It will be in addition. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼

The easiest way to tell if your engines are getting clapped out is looking at the fresh hot idle oil pressure. When you see a significant drop you can almost be certain your bearing clearances are opening up. Obviously there are more invasive testing but that alone can tell you it's time to look harder.
Wing mount is super

Will be interested to learn what continental says about how to operate and manage the engine. I’m not that far from an overhaul on our Baron.
I’m looking forward to it as well.
Smart move. Storms are not my kind of fun! You got good time on those engines. I guess you couldn't complain. Now you can fix that split mixture levers. LOL
Without the split mixtures what will everyone have to complain about. Second thought, never mind! 😂
Good decision to wait out that storm. I've found that ones that build that fast tend to have teeth!
Great new look through that new camera. If you get a chance watch Trent Palmer's new video with a new 360 camera out on the wing you can see the whole plane it is amazing.
