myself (A&P) and some other A&P buddies from work have been looking into getting into restorations. Your channel has proved our dream is possible! Keep up the excellent work.
Y’all need to check out an old Baron out at KFNL in Colorado N9BS. Has been sitting abandoned for at least 10 maybe 15 years. I think the owner died and it’s been sitting on our ramp ever since.
A&P here, for future reference all the key does is un-grounds the magnetos so they fire. So if the key doesn’t work just pull the wires off the back of it and go. Don’t ask me how I know lol. Anyways love your videos man I enjoy all of your projects from boats to planes!
@@benjaminsunderland2336 In the case of this Warrior, the key also provides for energizing the starter relay when in the “Start” position. Kind of hard to start it from the cockpit without the key. Looks like he got the pins and cylinder of the keyswitch freed up with the kroil. With a functioning ignition switch, he had the redundancy of shutting the engine down if something went wrong with the mixture cable. Otherwise he would have had to remove the p leads and manually ground the (non hot) lead on the starter relay coil to start. That does not sound like much fun.
A line from the vintage TV series Then Came Bronson intro- " Man, I wish I was you." Very fitting here. Congrats on the purchase and thanks for taking us along.
very few birds out there that had this kind of care and attention. cowl plugs and canopy covers will get you a long way . but flying it on a regular basis would be so much better, too. nice find. nice recovery. keep up the good work.
and …. click. Lycoming sitting equals cam lobes dry. My cam went bad and the core is still sitting in my hangar. Only way I knew was it didn’t make full RPM on run up. Oil analysis didn’t catch it. When I took my old engine to Lycon and they pulled cylinders, the piston skirts looked galvanized from all the cam shavings. The aluminum skirts absorbed the cam shavings. I use Aeroshell 100 plus but the damage was done by the airplane sitting in South Texas before I bought it and then not flying enough to keep the cam lubed. I would be very watchful for cam wear. Nice chatting with you and Joe at Osh and thank you for being so gracious with your time. Fly safe.
I had guessed maybe a 5 percent chance that the battery had any juice at all, but when I saw the way the cylinders looked, I was figuring a good 95% chance of the engine starting. The initial turn-over was really disappointing, until you remembered you had turned the external power-pack off and corrected that mistake. That plane was stored PROPERLY!. I hope that it gives a very nice return on your invested money and labor, and has minimal ADs and other issues that need to be dealt with to bring it to compliance with modern standards.
You guys were overdue having this kind of luck! Looks like you got a good deal and I can't wait to see it fly again. Battery, tire and an annual is about all it needs except for the cosmetics.
Fist of all thank you Jason for posting the planes progress in the 401, i have been interested in how things work as i look up in the sly and see air craft flying above me and thinking what would it take to fly these things, so buy looking at this Rebuild Rescue, Man i have learned a Lot!!!! OMG it's just Fabulous. I also love the accent of Americans too. So thanks to Sam Ganow for letting you work on the plane that is Free, well in a sense it's not so quite free as if you want this to fly again and to unlike a car, OMG it is expensive so a lot off $$$$$$$ to be made in getting the parts and of course time to work on the plane as to look at other small planes to not just buy but to fix them and sell them for to fund in 401. I understand it's a Cessener Phoenix 401. i have a small air port that is close to me as that is in Tyabb Morning peninsula Melbourne Australia. I am a land lubber (so wingless) as i have watched your videos and learned a lot, also thanks to Kay, wow what a looker!!! love to learn to fly with Kay!! LOL the Queen of checking everything. So thank you Jason and Joe that works for you, Joe you will like Tyabb airport as there's some war planes there with Merlin engines V12's😁😅
Guys, you really need to read the book by Mike Bush specific to resurrecting engines that haven't been run in a long time. Basically you need to get lots of misted oil on the camshaft because that's a lot more critical than your cylinders but misting all internal components would be a good thing and you do that by using a hardware store-bought bug spray dispenser.
@@T_Mo271 Well that would be very dishonest of them if they actually ran the engine prior to them recording preparations and actual running of the engine. I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt that the engine was not run prior to actual video content.
Except there is no way to access the cam on the O-320/360 without removing a cylinder. Access through the dipstick will only get access to the sump and above that, there are very narrow slots in the bottom of the case where oil can drain into the sump. If this airplane was indeeed parked for 15 years and the engine was not “pickled”, then the cam lobes and lifter faces are most likely severely corroded. The engine will run just fine like this, but will slowly lose power over 2 years /200 hrs or so as the cam profile is slowly worn away by the pitted follower.
@@Stepclimb Well my friend, then remove a cylinder That's no big deal It's done every day probably a hundred times a day. Now the cylinder walls didn't look corroded at all so there's a good chance that the cam is not corroded either but certainly needs to have lots of lubrication after sitting idle for so long. And if you do remove a cylinder then you could use the borescope to inspect the cam. Once again these guys are rushing to get an aircraft back in the air when they need to slow down just a bit. Juan Brown and many others, including myself have made it very clear to these guys that they need to slow down and do things right or sure as God has made little green apples, there's going to be another accident
@@christophergagliano2051 I get the impression that you have never removed a cylinder from a Lycoming O-320. It is no small feat to remove all the baffles just to get to the point of removal. Also, as Mike Busch has pointed out, cylinder removal should be avoided if at all possible due to the inherent risks of the difficulty of achieving base stud and through-stud preload with the engine in-situ. It is completely ridiculous to propose to remove a cylinder to lubricate the cam. It is MAYBE called for if one suspects cam corrosion based on oil filter inspection results. Certainly, if one were evaluating an airplane for purchase, it would be highly unlikely that a seller would allow for the removal of a cylinder to allow for cam inspection. Either way, Cam corrosion is NOT an immediate airworthiness issue because cam wear happens slowly over time. Additionally, removing a cylinder will only allow you to view 3 of the 6 lobes due to the case webbing around the center bearing journal. A borescope won’t help you here. The process they are using is sound. Spinning the engine with plugs out will splash some oil up on the lifter-cam interface sufficient to ensure they avoid a complete dry-start. They are smart to leave the cylinders alone. If they had concerns about the cam, they could get a ferry permit, fly the airplane several hours to a maintenance facility and then cut open the oil filter for inspection. Cam wear presents itself as magnetic “whiskers” in the filter pleats. This is a much better way to determine cam health while avoiding the risk of cylinder removal.
I dunno man, that Cirrus was more than a basket case. The avionics alone would eat the profit from this plane. That said, he sold the 140 and this plane would be far better for bouncing around to other airports.
Well done guys, I'd call that a WIN! Fit new Radios, Tyres, Battery and some "spit 'n' polish" on the outside and she's good to go... Greetings from Perth, West Australia. Cheers, Frank.
Learned to fly, did my first solo and trained 100's of students in these way way way back in the day. Nice to see one being bought back so it can continue on, good work.
Will it start? Probably. Will the engine start making a bunch of metal in the next 25 hours from corrosion on the cam and in the cylinders? Yes. Expect a complete overhaul. Still a pretty nice plane, though!!! It's well worth putting avionics and a new engine into it for what you got it for! I made the comment before watching the borescope part. You guys lucked out!!!! Hopefully the cam isn't corroded, and you would be good to go!!!!!
That was me! I grew up on the scent of Kroil!! He's gone now, Dad always filched cans of Kroil from Georgia Pacific in Bellingham, WA. GP is also gone from Bellingham. Dad was an Instrument Repair/Maintenance Technician there. Looks like you need new tires, Jason. Kroil works its magic again!
The dealer lays the cards and you pick up your hand only finding out when you turn the cards over. well the dealer smiled on you for this one nicely done crack on
I know of an airplane that's been sitting for years at the Local airport down here in Monahans Texas. Crop duster that hasn't moved in years, other than an occasional push about and re tie it down, it has been in the same spot. Not sure if it's one you would even look at. Have a great time and I enjoy watching your videos. I wish I could have gotten my license before.
Big Howdy from Sydney Australia. That piper is a "diamond in the rough" for sure. Would have been nice to see a cylinder compression test. Should be a good plane. 🌏🛩️
I love the warrior, after jumping from the Tomahawk the warrior felt like a limo with like zero vices in comparison, I couldn't even get a real stall out of it. The flying school at the time used the warriors for their cross country training.
I'm grinning ear to ear when that battery actually had some life in it! Bigger grin when it fired up!! Was hoping you'd taxi it, you didn't disappoint!!!
You guys are Great!! Just wondering if and when we will see some bots afloat, and sold, and some planes flying and sold, to keep this going!!! More progress and less corrosion!!!
My first flight was in something older than that. But the Cherokee 180 was always good to me, I skipped the Warrior and went to the Turbo Arrow. Sort of anxious to watch this one.
Jason a suggestion , go to a Ritchie Bros Auction and get yourself a truck with tool boxes , so you have what you need when you go to try and start a plane or boat ?
It looks like you picked up a really good bird! A little paint and a touch of bodywork, and it should fly! I'll have to finish up the video later. It's time to get to work! Good find!
You found a Unicorn - congratulations!! I just found/bought a 2021 Lexus RC350 F Sport with 4,722 original miles. Another Unicorn, after the way this month has been going I now feel like I've got a Golden Horseshoe up my arse, just like DJT!! 😀
check plugs need go go juice, earl if it starts i’d do some maintenance first fuel lines first. new battery fresh fill up run it till it warms up. It has to start run then get it into annual new tires oil change new plugs replace hard ware put led’s paint mags. Out of the gate dry this long fuel pump might not work.
Joe, you look a lot better with your beard coming back. Try a fisherman's beard (with no mustach) maybe? You can always grow it in if it doesn't work? ❤
I am fond of those warriors. I have almost 50 hours in warriors and a couple in an Archer with my ppl checkride in a couple weeks in a Warrior. They’re great trainers and putter around planes. It’s great to see this plane saved!
You can tell someone cared for that aircraft. Im glad your going to continue that care and get her in the air.
Exactly the opposite of the Cirrus he bought..
Absolutely! That looks really good for sitting that long.
I wanna see more on the Cirrus!
@@sebastianbenner977 same
And the 401.
@@imigistx yeh
I think they should just take the engine out of it and junk it, the airframe looks too moist, rotten and sunbaked to work.
But I might be mistaken.
We at XeVision offered to "help" with the Landing light system damaged on that Cirrus, we made that HID original system.
wow what a fortunate find, a plane in this kinda wonderful condition. thank your lucky stars
Nice rescue!
Thank you Brother!👍🏻
That "Piper Aire" window decal means that plane originally had AC. Over the years folks have to choose to keep fixing leaks and issues or they delete it and get the useful load back. You may have a deleted AC bird.

check plugs need go go juice, earl if it starts i’d do some maintenance first fuel lines first. new battery fresh fill up run it till it warms up. It has to start run then get it into annual new tires oil change new plugs replace hard ware put led’s paint mags. Out of the gate dry this long fuel pump might not work.
less than 30K budget this plane fly again good and can sell good profit.
