- I am a pilot, firefighter and Air Force Veteran. I found two planes that where destined for the Scrap yard. These planes haven't flown in 14 years. I tracked down the owner and made a deal to save the planes, Join me on the adventure of putting these two great airplanes back in the air. Will it start after sitting for 14 years. Only 74 hours after going through a major over. Fingers crossed.
Don't for get to check out the video on the abandoned airplane a 1979 Baron B55. Both airplanes where owned by the same owner and sat at the airport for 14 years. These planes where destined for the scrap yard. Thankfully I was able to purchase these planes and rescue them from the scrap yard (hopefully). I am a combination of Jimmy's World and Rebuild rescue. If you haven't seen their videos please check them out. This journey is just beginning.

I had the same problem with my Cessna about the gauges not working properly and found a common ground had some corrosion that made them intermittent. Easy fix in back of the panel. Good job, waiting to watch it fly again.
Sweet Navomatic a/p and Gold avionics stack! Top of the line in its day👍
Awesome! I’m based at KEET and have seen this 182 sitting in the shade hangar for years. Always been curious about it. Happy to see y’all giving her the attention she needs! Good luck!
Thanks, I’m about to start working the Baron that has been sitting stay tuned for Resurrecting the Baron videos soon. And subscribe if you haven’t already
A motor than has sat for 14 years scares me to death. The oil has long ago drained from every part into the oil pan. No telling what the bearings and cam look like.
Great, it runs. Considering how long it's been setting it came back to life pretty quickly.
We where surprised at how easily it started. Only 74 hours after major overhaul.
Hex, if it runs it’ll fly. I say fly it out
Wish I could run across a deal like this!
Great motor you got there! High compression and no smoke etc after 14yrs means to me those valves are brand new etc, and there was no leakage over that long time. You hit a luck on this one.
Compressions where in the upper 70’s all the way around I was surprised but it runs great.
That a lot of year to see something comeback to life just like that 😇😇🥳💯💣🤞🤙🤙🤙
Cycle the prop and confirm oil pressure if the prop cycles the gage is probably faulty
THIS
sounds good got oil pressure
3 minutes of engine running with no indication of oil pressure?!?!?! Stupid move! You lucked out, big time. You should have pulled top plugs, cranked engine over until you got oil pressure, ONLY THEN would the engine be ready to fire. Gonna watch and see how long your luck lasts.
Can I get a CLEAR PROP # jimmys world 😂
If the prop can be cycled you have oil pressure. Look for a bad electrical ground since several engine instruments don't work.
That a lot of year to see something comeback to life just like that 😇😇🥳💯💣🤞🤙🤙🤙
Corrosion on starter means corrosion in engine. It should be torn down sitting that long with fist size corrosion holes in cowl.
I hope you are a A&P mechanic cause you’re real close to crossing the line between owner maintenance and A&P maintenance. That starter should have been worked on by a licensed mechanic or under the supervision of a licensed mechanic.
I work under the supervision of and A&P.
Please be careful around spinning prop! Never turn your back on it.
I’m super excited for this project. This airplane has a ton of potential!
Damn....that is one smooth running engine. Did you try to cycle the prop yet? Never mind, I see you did. Still going with a 3 blade?
I bought a used three blade prop and will be putting it on the plane soon.
Aircraft sitting abandoned for years, no contact with owner. Airfield storage fees must be paid and it accrues every month. Gets to a point where aircraft value is less then what is owed. Airfield now owns said aircraft. Airfield can now sell aircraft or keep it.
Great video, this is exactly the kind of stuff nobody will show. So how did you fix the oil pressure, was it the gauge or something else? And how do you fix the fuel gauges?
Bad gauge we put a remote gauge on it to see the actual oil pressure.
Great thing about this, if it’ll run, no need to worry about anything else. Can’t be a bad motor if it runs. Everbody knows that.
Yeah, that's the rule! LOL
Where was the problem? Wiring, gauge, etc.? 👍
Bad gauge, we changed it out and it works now. The back of the instruments had a little corrosion I think that caused the problem with the gauge.
the engine running sounds are still even great.
There's a whole lot of hidden problems waiting for your first flight. It's a rebuild to be sure unless complete records and indoor storage. And no electronics would be trustworthy anyway.
Interested in selling?
This at KEET?
Love too be out there with you both on this journey to get this nice 182 back in flight status 2:23
Help me understand the abandoned airplane RUclips deal ? So this 182 is not yours ? You just want to see if it runs ? The owner OK with this ? Only takes less than 30 seconds to find the owner. If you bought it, Congratulations you own a very nice 182 ! The other option is not good. Just asking ?
I bought the plane from the owner. He kept the hanger fees paid and just let it sit.
How do I find these abandoned airplanes?
there ya go, you got it running and it sounded fine.
EET
Yes,
Looks like a good catch.
Could is be The Pressure relief valve ?
Bad gauge
How the oil pressure problem got rectified????
We put a remote gauge on it and it was showing good oil pressure. I am replacing the gauge and installing a jpi 830 engine monitor
@@Daybreakaviationok, and thanx for the reply
Using a cheap wire wheel on a drill without wearing eye protection is a good way to get blind in one eye and end your flying days. Good luck with the aircraft though.
Do you have to be an A&P mechanic to work on your own plane like in this video?
No, but you do have to work under one. I spend 6 years in the Air Force as an airplane mechanic but also work under Tim.
@@Daybreakaviation thank you for the info.
