I am seeing a lot of corrosion in the wheel wells, what type of corrosion are you looking for, 310s are magical it will look like there's no corrosion anywhere, until you start stripping, and then the shock starts, exhausts manifolds develop cracks,
You should know not to neglect your property. You need annual inspection and all new tires and at least 5 test flights with only one pilot around field.
Beautiful airplane but there is certain to be rust corrosion around exposed to air 'dry of oil' camshaft and follower and some cylinder bore surfaces, unless the engines were correctly inhibited and sealed for longterm storage. Starting them without stripping and corrosion removal will just seal the engines' fates as permanent 'boat anchors'.
Is there a procedure for rejuvenation after being stored improperly over the long term? That doesn’t involve splitting the cases or pulling the cylinders?
@@ronjon7942 A borescope inspection can show the condition inside each cylinder and it is possible to see some smaller patches of exposed camshaft areas that may or may not indicate any rust corrosion from prolonged dryness and condensation moisture. To put your life in two good engines to get you safely off the ground into the future, you really do need to firmly establish the internal condition. To do this with surety you really need to strip them down. Otherwise it's a step into the unknown.
Pretty plane, my absolute favorite GA aircraft. What model is this? Except for not having the sexier three blade props (hey, gotta look good in the hangar), your plane ticks all the boxes for my aesthetic requirements! :) But those props look just fine when the engines are spinning - prolly look even better considering how much a three-blade prop would cost. If that mod is even allowed on this 310… Well, nice work! How many hours on each engine, and on the airframe? Yeah, from what you had shown, corrosion seems negligible. I just hope nothing rusted inside the 470s, but short of a weekend (kidding) of splitting the crankcase, cross your fingers, eh? Is this your new toy, or are you getting it prepared for a sale?
I love 310s and have 2000+ hours in them, but, sadly, it’s a money pit; don’t walk away, run👍and that plane is either a late G or an H model, my favorite of all !
You mean someone actually just left it out in the weather? For an entire 5 YEARS ????? That's one good way to flush your Investment Dollars 💸 right down the toilet!!!
She's a beauty!!!!
Jimmy is so mad that that worked so well I hope you know that lol
Thanks for watching

310's are number one. We flew a 1955 for over 10 years and our latest, a P model for 15+ years. Great birds, best bang for the buck out there IMO :)

I’m glad to seeing this 310 which all of these are my favorite Multi engine aircraft
They are very popular

Great to see you from the Skyhawk and the 182 and of course the SR22
Beautiful
Check the front spar thing ahead of cockpit
Check carefully On leading edges very carefully, riverts need always a few checks on the 310
Cool !!!

Yeah for sure
I think I’m going to part it out
If you know anyone looking for io470s
Front strut 30psi?

Get the annual inspection done and get it airborne
It’s scheduled In 2 weeks
Jimmy is over his head.!!
Neglect right here. Awful shame. I wish this 310 were mine.you better do the proper maintainace daily,this is a great tool .!!!!
👍☑ Interesting video. Will you do a follow up? Would love to see if it was worth the investment to fly again.
Thanks
Yes I plan on it
Wash it in rain
