Jerry, I totally loved hearing and seeing you demonstrate all the different aspects of your new Golden Eagle II C-421!!! Shes a beautiful airplane and a dream machine to me! Thank you for allowing us to ride along for the tour and review of N513SJ!!!
Thankyou for the update on the Caddie! Wow, such a beauty! Your 421C is a beautiful bird. I'm a Private Pilot, single engine land and now have a renewed interest in twins because of your well thought out excellent videos! Thanks for the tour and your in-flight comments I so much enjoyed!
Thanks for the tour Jerry. A very nice airplane. I'm sure we'll all enjoy riding along with you, and the snacks kits looks great! Cheers from New Zealand, David
Thank you Captain Wagner. My grand father owned a Cessna 421, saw it in the picture album, I was only 9 then, thought why not have a look at it again. You pretty much refreshed my memory. Thanks again Captain Wagner!
I'd love him to fly over Chicago or Niagara Falls with this Cessna 421C plane, or maybe Norther MN or WI. That would be a beautiful sight. I haven't been to the Falls yet. :)
Jerry, Thank you for taking us along. I always learn important things from you as a veteran pilot that I am hoping will continue to make me better. I know it is time consuming to edit and post these videos, but you have some faithful followers that appreciate your efforts. I am not sure if you are looking for thoughts and ideas for your videos, but one that I would truly appreciate would be one that discusses all of the routine maintenance things you do yourself on your 421. What do you do daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc. to keep your plane in top shape. There is obviously all of the staff that the mechanics have to do and are required, but I am curious what you do yourself that may be considered "above and beyond". It is very evident that you take great pride and safety is important to you. Any tips or guidance would be super appreciated.
Wow! Congrats Mr. W. That's a beauty. I flew in a 421C a couple times as a passenger. A R/E developer named Jay Quetnic had one of these. He developed Tanforan Shopping Center, in which my Dad was an initial investor. They would fly from San Carlos down to La Paz, BCS to go fishing from time to time. The 421C was like an airliner inside. Wide, A/C, nice views out the windows. Cheers and Thanks for the vids.
Excellent video. Thanks for the tour of your plane. I co owned a 1959 310C many years ago. Always wanted to work up to a 421. unfortunately I didn't manage to do that, and had to put aviation on hold. I really enjoy watching videos like yours to keep in touch with flying from home. After covid…...I plan to start flying again. Keep up the good work and I'll stay tuned for more.
Jerry, Thank you for the walk around and your descriptions of all features. I finally learned what the switches in front of the throttle quadrant were...lighting! Enjoy your new twin Cessna and looking forward to many great adventures!
Nice aircraft. My dad had his 1975 421B Golden Eagle based at the NF of OAK from the late 70's to mid 80's. It was a great airplane and took our family to MFR and SDL many times but your A/C is sweeter.
Congrats on the new airplane Jerry. Welcome to the long nose club! Just a pointer, the gauge in the nose baggage compartment to the left of the hydraulic fluid sight gauge isn't the gauge for the onboard oxygen. It's the pressure gauge for the nitrogen cylinder for the emergency gear extension. The only indicator of pressure in the oxygen cylinder is the O2 gauge in the cockpit. Safe travels!
This was my first time seeing you. I don't have a license but would like to fly my family. Kids are growing almost teens. My searches have been family planes, 6,7,8 seat airplanes . I need to be real with myself as I know it takes alot of money to even start training for a license and I want the dual engine profile. Don't know if it's to late in life. Will I always be looking up at the sky and wonder?!? Thank you for sharing it means alot. The MRE part had me! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤪 But true!!
You probably already explained but why the 421 vs a 414AW known ice. The eagle is known to be a little more of a maintenance queen and the geared engines are more expensive to rebuild plus a lower TBO. Nice plane just curious.
Nice bird!! Great equipment all around. You covered it all in such a knowledgeable and interesting way. Is that a '58 Cadillac Eldorado in the background? Wow!
I would call that more of a 'Nickel Tour' or maybe a 'Grande Tour' of the 421C than an actual 'review'. I really appreciate the up-close look and the explaination of what some of the goofy looking features were (like the A/C inlet on the right engine, I've seen those and was always mystified as to why one engine had them and the other didn't). I was sort of hoping to get some opinions and feedback about the 421, but that may happen after you've flown it a while and paid some bills. I've always wanted a 421, and I sort of thought of going to look at an A model that was derelict a while back, but I really don't have the budget for it yet, but I've always listened to everything everybody has had to say about them. The corporate guys that flew them back when they were new all loved them, and some owner-operators love them, but charter guys seem to hate them. The formula seems to be that if it is being flown by somebody that is hired who isn't paying the bills, the plane bankrupts the owner. A lot of people talk about the problems with the gear package on the props and cracks in the crankcase which most people think is from shock cooling, and supposedly the overhauls cost a squillion dollars. As a result, most people prefer the 414 over the 421, even though the performance numbers on the 421, particularly the C models like yours, are better. So, often the 421s, particularly the earlier A or B models, are cheaper, but a whole lot of airplane for the money IMHO, BUT I've never owned one, I've never flown one, I can't remember if I've ever even sat in one. SO I don't really know. I would LOVE to hear why you traded in the 414 for the 421 when everybody else seems to be going the other way.
It’s a nice bus, have flown various 400 (the 404 was just a truck in the sky!) series planes and would love to add this mark to the list. Isn’t the pressure gauge in the nose baggage bay for the emergency gear nitrogen blow down bottle? Will keep tabs on your future 421 exploits... cheers!
Thanks for the tour Jerry. I have been looking at buying a 340 for the last couple of years but recently started looking at the 421's. I just found one I really like too. I would love to pick you brain more on this. I fly a G-5 Cirrus out of Lincoln. If you ever need a ride to or from from Sac Executive or anywhere else let me know and maybe trade a tour of your plane with some insight. Thanks Greg.
Jerry great plane. I love those old Golden Eagle. Actually they are early Citations. 😀 When I started flying with gliders back in 1982 one guy owned one. Any time he showed up I was so dam fascinated. I will never forget the first ride in it. It was my second birthdate. Still today they are reasonable planes with a still interesting performance at reasonable costs. I like your 421 much, but I would upgrade the interior look a little bit into a more modern look and feel. Grandma is still flying with the sideway interior. I liked the drinks 🍹 in the Air Wagner plane. 😅🥂👌👍
Unless there was an STC to retrofit the landing gear, all pre 1981 421s did not have trailing link as an option. The 1979 bird I flew had the standard shock strut arrangement and was hard to get a greaser landing! FIKI 421s included heated windshield, pitot tubes, stall warning, static source and propellers as well as boots for wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers. Don’t expect to get to TBO on the GTSIOs!
That’s one sexy machine kind sir. Thank you so much for the tour, I learned a lot! Since I don’t have any experience with the whole air brake thing, I can’t help but wonder what if one worked and one didn’t. Would that be a controllable situation? Obviously you would retract them as soon as you detected a asymmetrical load, just wondering how much of a roll rate that would produce. Anyway just wondering out loud. Thanks again for the wonderful videos! So enjoy them every time.
I took one year of A+P, honestly I got lost on some of the geometry, building wing spars is not as easy as one would believe. Love the 76’ patriotic paint scheme, very nice bird. I’ve always thought of how amazing it would be to have a pilot’s license and owning a little 310 or something similar. Huge responsibility but it’s ok to dream I guess.
Good review Jerry - how about a review of the flying characteristics with your thoughts on your previous aircraft? Consider also the aircraft from Nancy's perspective - that's my wife's focus!
One of the best 421 tours I have ever seen, very thorough, and much appreciated, thanks! I noticed the VGs on the wings on the second viewing, which are nice. Is the plane equipped with a low thrust detection system? I didn't notice pitots on the nacelles.
Looking forward to “ride alongside”... for the crazed window..try Aero Products as it is awesome for such applications...would save some money...🤔 It is awesome for my RV...
It’s clear... even after many years of flying.... you do love flying... and, your new airplane.... congratulations on your new aircraft... wild guess? I think your red button could be your “go around” button...? my red button is on the left throttle leaver.. yours might be on the yoke? ALSO, have you ever noticed that when anyone says “ForgetAboutIt”? Everyone says it with a New Your Gangster Accent? Sorta like Italians say “Like Mama Used to Make”..
@@Jerry.Wagner I thought only turbo-props and jets had a Go-Around feature. Also, is there a bulb out on your announciator panel? 1 up from bottom left corner?
Beautiful airplane Jerry! Would you perhaps share with us the difference in engine management from the C414 to the C421 with the geared engines? I’ve heard it can be tricky and expensive when mismanaged.
This is a 1 year old video so you probably figured it out, but since no one replied with the correct answer the red button on the front of the yoke is the transponder IDENT button.
She's a beauty! Question on the speed brakes. Perhaps they are fail safe...but if they were left out, could you still get a positive rate of climb out of it still? I only flew Seneca's and Seminoles as an MEI so no experience with speed brakes. I know the prime reason so as not to shock cool those big expensive engines you have and ATC leaving you high and close. We had a T-210 who had five out of six cracked cylinder heads on the line as a rental. Owner took it off the line after the discovery. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Jerry, I have enjoyed your videos for a while. Just recently my good friend has decided to purchase a 421C. Do you have any recommendations on handling the geared engines?
1. do not overboost on takeoff 2. reduce power gradually when descending 2 inches every 2 minutes for shock cooling 3. do not let the props "Turn" the engines as it could damage the spider gear, no less that 17 inches of MP on landing and don't let RPM's get below 900 4. smooth power changes 5. watch T.I.T. temps, RAM says maximum is 1625, I like to run in the low 1500's (1520-1540) be gentle with them as you can't "Ham Fist" the power like a direct drive engine
this story u wont like,,,my grand grand mother had one in a farm all destroyed,,,we usedit to practice shooting , for me is the most beuatifull car ...Nice Jerry, really nice...@@Jerry.Wagner
Jerry just showed to my father he told me the one im talking had four doors and no metal between the glasses and each side door,,,most amazing thing i like is the panoramic front glass (parabrisa) (windshield)
Nice 421. Why did you choose the 421 Golden Eagle? I know it’s pressurized but what are some other reasons. I am doing some comparison between the Piper Navajo Chieftain or the Cessna 421 Golden Eagle. Maybe you can share a little bit of your knowledge and experience in the 421.
I've always been a Cessna owner, 172, T210, C320, 414 and this 421C, the 421C is "Top of the line" for cabin class piston aircraft www.aviationconsumer.com/aircraftreviews/cessna-421-golden-eagle/
Okay, that I can understand. Would the 421 Golden Eagle be to complex for a new multi engine pilot with less than 50 hours twin time? I know the insurance will be high but what about learning to fly the airplane? What do you suggest?
If your twin rated this airplane is NOT hard to learn how to fly if you get proper training, talk to your insurance agent first, they probably want you to get another 50 hours twin time in order to be P.I.C. and expect a high premium for the first year or two, probably around $10K depending on the Hull Value
Just curious, What is your service ceiling and how high do you plan to cruise? GlobalAir website put the service ceiling at 30,200. But I think the pilot and the aircraft both have to be annually certified to go FL280 to FL340? I saw something to that effect on SteveoKinevo. BUT, noticed you usually like 7,000 for long distance cruise because I only recall a few times seeing anything higher. Congrats on fine purchase and thanks for the tour ! Looking forward to the post pandemic flights !
most of the Cabin Class Twin Cessna airplanes, 414, 421's are for charter and revenue generating so you don't want to have to cancel a charter because of a bad transponder, hence the backup one
I know carbon monoxide is a non issue as your power plants are not attached to cabin. Is there any alarm system since this is a pressurized aircraft for loss of pressure or a slow cabin leak when at high altitude? I remember there was a learjet owned by a golfer I think that had a issue with this...very sad story. This is a very nice aircraft, but the 414 was nice too
Oh so CO detectors would be required. I remember seeing a video recently about a guy in the midwest had a mooney that he got CO2 poisoning and crashed....somehow by some miracle he survived....I think he says he flys now with like 2 or three detectors on him....if I were him I would have them pasted all over my body LOL. The new ones I hear are not like the ugly postit note size that really don't work well anyways.
@@Jerry.Wagner Thanks for the link. So what was the difference in price between say back in Feb to now? How much has is come down if any? (I don't keep track of this as I don't own an aircraft or fly. More out of curiosity...has it dropped as much as the auto gas?) Thanks!
Depends on what other expenses you have and how you choose to spend what money you have, if your on a budget this is not a good plane to own, for most Twin Cessna Airplanes pressurized or not pressurized your annual expenses are approx $6K for insurance, $12-20K for scheduled maintenance and Hangar or Tie Down expenses, and thats before your burning fuel at a rate of $225/hour and a "fund" for engine and prop replacement.
Jerry, I totally loved hearing and seeing you demonstrate all the different aspects of your new Golden Eagle II C-421!!!
Shes a beautiful airplane and a dream machine to me!

Thanks for the tour, and congrats! She's a beaut! ✈
That’s a really nice bird Jerry...congratulations on your new purchase! Thanks for sharing! Don/NE Ohio
No bugs...?
Nice! I have as much fun watching your videos as you do making them. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that is a beautiful aircraft inside and out Jerry! Congratulations and I really look forward to many videos to come with the Golden Eagle.
I'd love him to fly over Chicago or Niagara Falls with this Cessna 421C plane, or maybe Norther MN or WI. That would be a beautiful sight. I haven't been to the Falls yet. :)
Thank you for the 421C your. It was both informative and educational. I am looking forward to many more 421C videos. Devon / SC

Very nice Jerry! Congrats and it'll be fun getting to know her! ;)
It will be fun to "ride along" on this journey with your Golden Eagle!
Congrats Jerry..Awesome..you must be one happy guy...what does your wife think? Have a great Flight!!
This was my first time seeing you. I don't have a license but would like to fly my family. Kids are growing almost teens. My searches have been family planes, 6,7,8 seat airplanes .

Will I always be looking up at the sky and wonder?!? Thank you for sharing it means alot.
The MRE part had me! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤪
But true!!
You probably already explained but why the 421 vs a 414AW known ice. The eagle is known to be a little more of a maintenance queen and the geared engines are more expensive to rebuild plus a lower TBO. Nice plane just curious.
I think you're already in love with the thing !!! LOL! Great job...
Nice bird!! Great equipment all around. You covered it all in such a knowledgeable and interesting way.
Is that a '58 Cadillac Eldorado in the background? Wow!
1957 Cadillac Series 62 Couple De Ville
That's a sweet ride...... I'll have to tell my buddy at NORCAL that you changed callsigns! lol....
Thanks Jerry. Pretty nice ride. Always enjoy your videos.
I would call that more of a 'Nickel Tour' or maybe a 'Grande Tour' of the 421C than an actual 'review'. I really appreciate the up-close look and the explaination of what some of the goofy looking features were (like the A/C inlet on the right engine, I've seen those and was always mystified as to why one engine had them and the other didn't). I was sort of hoping to get some opinions and feedback about the 421, but that may happen after you've flown it a while and paid some bills.

Stunning paint!
The de-ice can be a life saver.. excellent move.
It’s a nice bus, have flown various 400 (the 404 was just a truck in the sky!) series planes and would love to add this mark to the list. Isn’t the pressure gauge in the nose baggage bay for the emergency gear nitrogen blow down bottle? Will keep tabs on your future 421 exploits... cheers!

If you ever need a ride to or from from Sac Executive or anywhere else let me know and maybe trade a tour of your plane with some insight. Thanks Greg.
Jerry great plane. I love those old Golden Eagle. Actually they are early Citations. 😀 When I started flying with gliders back in 1982 one guy owned one. Any time he showed up I was so dam fascinated. I will never forget the first ride in it. It was my second birthdate. Still today they are reasonable planes with a still interesting performance at reasonable costs. I like your 421 much, but I would upgrade the interior look a little bit into a more modern look and feel. Grandma is still flying with the sideway interior. I liked the drinks 🍹 in the Air Wagner plane. 😅🥂👌👍
Unless there was an STC to retrofit the landing gear, all pre 1981 421s did not have trailing link as an option. The 1979 bird I flew had the standard shock strut arrangement and was hard to get a greaser landing! FIKI 421s included heated windshield, pitot tubes, stall warning, static source and propellers as well as boots for wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers. Don’t expect to get to TBO on the GTSIOs!
Love the new plane Jerry!
Thanks for the tour. She is quite a capable bird.
That’s one sexy machine kind sir. Thank you so much for the tour, I learned a lot! Since I don’t have any experience with the whole air brake thing, I can’t help but wonder what if one worked and one didn’t. Would that be a controllable situation? Obviously you would retract them as soon as you detected a asymmetrical load, just wondering how much of a roll rate that would produce. Anyway just wondering out loud.

My favorite caddi
Since it doesn’t have the trailing link gear you can put the RAM winglets on it, though that $43k price tag is definitely hard to swallow!!
When you are ready to sell, can you make a trip across the pacific to the land down under? 😃😅😃😆

If your twin rated this airplane is NOT hard to learn how to fly if you get proper training, talk to your insurance agent first, they probably want you to get another 50 hours twin time in order to be P.I.C. and expect a high premium for the first year or two, probably around $10K depending on the Hull Value
Thanks. I appreciate the information.
I saw you had a Cessna 320D in your early videos. What makes the Cessna 320D different from the Cessna 310 models?
Thanks for sharing,btw great hair cut
Just curious, What is your service ceiling and how high do you plan to cruise? GlobalAir website put the service ceiling at 30,200. But I think the pilot and the aircraft both have to be annually certified to go FL280 to FL340? I saw something to that effect on SteveoKinevo. BUT, noticed you usually like 7,000 for long distance cruise because I only recall a few times seeing anything higher. Congrats on fine purchase and thanks for the tour ! Looking forward to the post pandemic flights !
for long trips I would plan on FL250, that is a sweet spot
Beautiful plane. Great video.
Nice Equipment Jerry... "Thanks for the Tour" ';-)
Awesome bird. Congratulations
Nice plane! Congrats.
Haircut looks good Jerry!
Very nice plane Jerry . . But I gotta tell ya I just loved your 414 N8134Q but that's just me . . 👍
"Thanks . . . . . . . . . . for showin' us around!"
Greetings from Argentina, im going to restore a 421 also!!, how can i conctact you for some questions??
Heyy congrats on the new bird
It is very nice !! How much? Where do they have it, to go see it? Thank you. Best regards.
I just bought it in March of this year, I am not trying to sell it I was just showing it
Thanks, very interesting, at least now I’ll know what you talking about and where its located when your flying,
Nice bird. 421c with trailing link gear I beleive are not able to run Ram wing tips.
Is this correct?
Yes, correct
Thanks again, will ride along with you!
I really like your plane. Question why do aircraft have 2 transponders?
most of the Cabin Class Twin Cessna airplanes, 414, 421's are for charter and revenue generating so you don't want to have to cancel a charter because of a bad transponder, hence the backup one
@@Jerry.Wagner Thank you
I know carbon monoxide is a non issue as your power plants are not attached to cabin. Is there any alarm system since this is a pressurized aircraft for loss of pressure or a slow cabin leak when at high altitude? I remember there was a learjet owned by a golfer I think that had a issue with this...very sad story. This is a very nice aircraft, but the 414 was nice too
Oh so CO detectors would be required. I remember seeing a video recently about a guy in the midwest had a mooney that he got CO2 poisoning and crashed....somehow by some miracle he survived....I think he says he flys now with like 2 or three detectors on him....if I were him I would have them pasted all over my body LOL.
The new ones I hear are not like the ugly postit note size that really don't work well anyways.
Cool always wondered about that...
Nice plane Jerry congrats
So now when I think I hear a USCG Turboprop overhead it will actually be Air Wagner?
AV Gas must be relatively cheap during these crazy times.

@@Jerry.Wagner Thanks for the link. So what was the difference in price between say back in Feb to now? How much has is come down if any? (I don't keep track of this as I don't own an aircraft or fly. More out of curiosity...has it dropped as much as the auto gas?) Thanks!
Nice Limo Jerry.. Congrats.
Do the props feather out if one fails, or do you have to use a lot of rudder trim to fly it straight?
you have to feather the prop if one engine fails and yes it takes a lot of rudder to fly straight
How about a Cadillac walk around?

How much do you think you’d need to make a year to afford one
Depends on what other expenses you have and how you choose to spend what money you have, if your on a budget this is not a good plane to own, for most Twin Cessna Airplanes pressurized or not pressurized your annual expenses are approx $6K for insurance, $12-20K for scheduled maintenance and Hangar or Tie Down expenses, and thats before your burning fuel at a rate of $225/hour and a "fund" for engine and prop replacement.
