And I thought the F-104 had serious wing loading! It does my heart good to see folks like you restoring beautiful old machines, especially planes. I can see that this bird is aching to be free again and I wish you well with this worthy project! Cheers and thanks for sharing - Dave from Sydney, Oz
The prospect of starting up an aircraft that has been dormant for 26 years is quite a daunting yet exciting endeavor. It's like uncovering a piece of aviation history and reviving it. Proper maintenance, thorough inspections, and meticulous procedures are essential in such cases to ensure safety and reliability.
Ron Willliams I learned to fly in a 140, went on to a 170b and always loved the 195! She looks and sounds great. Look forward to your progress and postings.
OMG! THE PROP IS RUNNING BACKWARDS! RUUUUUUNNNNN FOREST, RUUUUNNNNN! Cool effect how the frame rate stops the prop, dad's friend had a 195 back in the day, coolest single-engine Cessna ever with that big radial.
It is getting closer! We have the wings on it and working on the tail gear right now......pretty bad....Changed all the oil and fuel lines and brake lines too. Got a few more things to do before we can taxi, but stay tuned for another video.
After that long in storage isn't the engine out of spec for logs? Doesn't the engine have to be tore down and rebuilt and the engine logs started from scratch?
TheArctictern .did you get her in the air by now? I know you posted last year. Please keep me informed. I love airplanes and helicopters. I'd love to go for a ride. Thank you for sharing your video.
I'm surprised the smoke cleared so quickly. Rings are shaped (at least in diesels) so they expand with the pressure of combustion. Usually they have to get to operating temp to seal.
I see it is registered in Alaska and got registered in 2015 through 2018 so I guess you fixed it well. But that looked like between what it was burning and what it was throwing on the ground the oil wouldn't last long enough to taxi for takeoff.
Owned one for a few years, delivered the Sunday Oklahoman Newspaper to several small towns. It would haul anything that you could stuff in it. The papers for each town wre bundled together and I'd fly over the drop zone at about 20 feet and the guy in the back would kick them out the door. It had the crosswind gear which made flying it interesting.
ROTAXD This was about right for a Jacobs that hasn't run in awhile. My Jacobs blew smoke and thick, black oil out it's exhaust longer than this one did. Normal for radial engines, especially Jacobs with early-style pistons. Oil was very cheap back when these engines were designed and built.
It would have started first time if he spun it with his arms, and BTW, you have to put some sort of long flat slabs with a teardrop profile hanging from the sides for it to actually fly.
What a beauty!! A Jacobs has a different sound than a Pratt & Whitney. Great job!! I just started restoring my grandfathers 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. Check out my videos. 👍🏼 Great job on getting her running again.
it had been sitting for 26 years, radials tend to burn more oil than most engines, but yes the ring could have been sticky and allowing oil to bypass. However each time since then we have started it it has gotten much better on this aspect of it. It is also high time too so that doesn't help.
From Wikipedia: The engines fitted to the 190 and 195 became well known for their oil consumption. The aircraft has a 5-US-gallon (19 L) oil tank, with 2 US gallons (7.6 L) the minimum for flight. Typical oil consumption with steel cylinder barrels is 2 US quarts (1.9 L) per hour.[6]
Zuloff, I agree. Maybe there was preservation oil in the cylinders or puddled up in the lower exhaust blowing out upon starting up? There is sure a lot of oil on the pavement, yet the exhaust stopped smoking
Yes we did! In fact we let it sit for about 2 hours and went through it and then as time went on we actually went through the whole thing, changed all the hoses, 3 rocker arms and the oil again. If you see the next video we had the wings on and it actually taxied around the airport under its own power!
During my "teething years", the mid-'70s, there were two 190's, and one 195, at the airport where I learned to fly, KMQS. When I discovered they were Cessna aircraft, I made the (naive) remark "they can't be Cessna's, they have radial engines". By this point in time, I had damn near 100 hrs in my old man's PA-23 Aztec; the next time we went up, it was in a borrowed Piper Cub, and if memory serves, I was forced to research the history of both Piper and Cessna. (then write a five page report about it)
barry phillips it‘s called rolling shutter, it‘s when the propeller is spinning so fast that the camera‘s shutter speed cannot capture it fully, giving it the distorted image
I'm sure there's probably lubricants in the fuel to help lubricate the top end because it hasn't been started in such a long time you know just stay Bill alone will make an engine smoke really bad for a while. And if it had a bad jug or rings then it wouldn't stop smoking!
What did you do to get it ready? I have a Continental 85 that has been sitting for 13 years. It was running fine when parked. What do you recommend I do to it before starting?
Power spec rating is 245hp @ 2200 rpm, at sea level. However, the power could vary from 200hp to 350hp depending on the year of manufacture, model suffix, and obviously any changes that might be made along the way. There are many models of this engine. There's the R-755A1, A2, B1, B2, E, and EH. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobs_R-755
Some small planes do have 4-cyl engines. In the early days, 6-cyl was the only way to get more power to lift larger planes and heavier loads, but in modern times, they have figured out how to get more power out of smaller, lighter engines, keeping the weight down and engine wear in check. Jacobs' earliest engine was a 3-cylinder radial engine, 51hp.
did you have to tear the engine down before you tried to run it? i heard radial's main bearings actually deform if the engine is allowed to sit for long periods of time in the vertical position
No we used MMO in each cylinder to make sure everything was lubed up well, inspected everything, pulled all the rocker covers and made sure nothing was broken there, went through the prop and filled it with oil and got gas to her and she fired up!
wait a minute guys, there's something missing on that plane but I just can't put my hand on it. oh wait I think I have it figured out. The reason it won't start is because the fuel tanks are in the wings that haven't showed-up yet. Hope this helps. Is there an A&P around there? The prop appears to be turning backwards but there again, I don't know which way you are going. Beautiful old bird. looking good. Make a good bush plane.
There is a temporary tank of top of the ladder . The prop looks as if it's going backwards , but of course it is not . It's due to the sec rate on the camera .
Most radials engines will have odd number cylinders when one row of cylinders but if you add another row of cylinders this row will have 7 but the total of 14.

Yeah!!! Gotta love those old radial engines. Cessna 195's are still a beautiful old bird. She'll be sweet when you get her finished up!
Cool! I've never seen a Cessna with a radial engine. That's awesome.
You gotta love the sound of a radial engine!
It really is amazing just how tough those little engine are ! And they sound so good WOT

I learned early about round engines, no oil on the ground, no oil in the engine.
cool.....good luck with the rest of the restoration.....

Did this A/C come from Eastern Kansas?.have tons of pics of it in it's open T hangar. S
Is it airworthy yet? Flying? Video update please!!!! Best Regards
Beautiful! Congratulations.
I'm surprised the smoke cleared so quickly. Rings are shaped (at least in diesels) so they expand with the pressure of combustion. Usually they have to get to operating temp to seal.
Good job. Hard work .
Why does the prop seam like it's going one way,then it's spinning the other way around?.
Sweet, well done lads!
YOWZA - "built in smoke system"! Glad to hear it's "loosening up" - some Marvel Mystery Oil in both the fuel and oil will help out a LOT!
Love those old radials!
Look like the prop have variable pitch, cool.
Very common.
How sweet it is!
I see it is registered in Alaska and got registered in 2015 through 2018 so I guess you fixed it well. But that looked like between what it was burning and what it was throwing on the ground the oil wouldn't last long enough to taxi for takeoff.
cageordie ,
thanks again and I look
I'm
The engine has been restored , the miracle of it fly again !
Engine sounds great !
Love the sound of a "Shaky Jake"!
Cessna never used Jacob engines - exclusively Continentals. They all shake like jake on startup.
@@rogertycholiz2218 Wrong. All 195's used a Jacobs engine.
It looks like and old beaver is that what it is? If so it's one of the greats Bush planes ever built.
Love the 195, last of the "real" airplanes. Looks, sounds and smells like a real airplane.
Yes they were quality you really can't buy anymore.. Very stable plane even in rough weather.
Owned one for a few years, delivered the Sunday Oklahoman Newspaper to several small towns. It would haul anything that you could stuff in it. The papers for each town wre bundled together and I'd fly over the drop zone at about 20 feet and the guy in the back would kick them out the door.

That Radial helps that feeling of solid reliability
Jim Foreman was the guy in the back Marion Brooks??
And it burns oil at a ratio somewhat higher than my chainsaw.
Had an old Camaro that would smoke like that when you first started it. Rubber valve stem seals used on airplaines too?
Love it man........that’s bad ass
Why is there condensation or water beneath the cowling in the front I don't understand why there would be water?
I'm thinking maybe a ring stuck in the ring lands ? Smoke should've cleared up sooner even if the motor was fogged before storage.
ROTAXD
This was about right for a Jacobs that hasn't run in awhile. My Jacobs blew smoke and thick, black oil out it's exhaust longer than this one did. Normal for radial engines, especially Jacobs with early-style pistons. Oil was very cheap back when these engines were designed and built.
Don't forget to attach wings before takeoff.
B Mc kinda hard to fly without fuel tanks
Just awesome thanks guys
She's a beauty.
hearing protection?
Short but great video thank you
I like the Hamilton counterweight prop
Sweet ride.
That is awesome!!!!....
Just beautiful! No shut down?
N1071D...thats awfully close to NC1701D, I'd have called it the Enterprise.
Damn, beat me to it.
Wasn't NCC-1071 the hull number for the _USS Constitution_ ? Or was it the _Defiant,_ both being from TOS?
Glad I wasnt the only one who thought of it lol I had to double check, NCC-1071 was the Constellation.
the Enterprise hull number was NCC-1701
Are you sure the Constellation wasn't 1017? The Doomsday Machine was the best episode! @@microbuilder
@@AzTrailRider57 I just looked again, and you are correct, its 1017 thats the Constellation. Mustve had a bit of lexdysia for a moment there lol
That is one fast shutter. CCD?
Excellent stuff - how's it going? Is it flying yet? Give us an update please.
Better check the oil in that shake Jake.....radials usually quit smoking.
It would have started first time if he spun it with his arms, and BTW, you have to put some sort of long flat slabs with a teardrop profile hanging from the sides for it to actually fly.
i dont care whats wrong with it i just i just love the look and the sound yeeha good on you bobby rout new zealand
High speed flutter in the prop!
Is that oil or fuel that thing pissed all over the ground?
Yes.
sounds good love old plane's
Ya think he left enough oil on the ramp?
Are you going to take it to the next 195 convention?
Almost like the Mags weren't on the first go!
Might take a bag of oilsorb on the ramp too
Never get that burnt oil smell out of the pickup
Was the engine conserved with oil? Like they do it on turbines?
wow, that thing really hosed down the pavement until he leaned it out...
That a Cessna 195 fuselage?! 😍
Love the buisnessliner!!! Round motors rule!!!
If you randomly clock forwards along the time bar you can actually watch that pool of oil under the engine get bigger.
The wings Boss the wings.
If you leave any type of car plane truck a long time then it won't go. You were very lucky it did .
Huh?
What a beauty!! A Jacobs has a different sound than a Pratt & Whitney. Great job!! I just started restoring my grandfathers 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. Check out my videos. 👍🏼 Great job on getting her running again.
What is that smoke coming out of at 11:30 on the engine?
Chemtrails.
I'm no A&P but it looks like that was burning oil much longer than just clearing out or a depickle from storage. Bad jug or rings?
it had been sitting for 26 years, radials tend to burn more oil than most engines, but yes the ring could have been sticky and allowing oil to bypass. However each time since then we have started it it has gotten much better on this aspect of it. It is also high time too so that doesn't help.

Zuloff, I agree. Maybe there was preservation oil in the cylinders or puddled up in the lower exhaust blowing out upon starting up? There is sure a lot of oil on the pavement, yet the exhaust stopped smoking
David Null, good grief. That's a lot of "normal" oil consumption per hour.
"A radial engine's three favorite things to do are use oil, use oil, and use oil, in that order."
beautiful!
Skip to 2:36 if you want the start.
I get the same feeling about the prop as I do watching someone stand at the edge of a tall building.
??
The edge of a cliff.
On a related note, deaths from falls have gone way up because of selfies.
The cropduster. Definitely killed all the mosquitoes by the shop.
Is that oil spillage on the ground after the engine run?
Don't you want to stop it and inspect it after a short first run, to make sure that all is going well?
Yes we did! In fact we let it sit for about 2 hours and went through it and then as time went on we actually went through the whole thing, changed all the hoses, 3 rocker arms and the oil again. If you see the next video we had the wings on and it actually taxied around the airport under its own power!
Good to hear! Good job.
Dude! super short wings?
the longer fuselage will make up for the short wings. They checked with the boeing 737 engineers.
Whoa I know this hanger. This is at the Colorado Loveland airport!
Wrong, it's in mulino oregon
During my "teething years", the mid-'70s, there were two 190's, and one 195, at the airport where I learned to fly, KMQS.

AMStationEngineer THANKS FOR the funny story!! Good memories!!!
Ahhhh .... I can smell it from here .............JRW
Perhaps someone can explain how the propeller appeared to be able to spin in one direction then change to other direction.
barry phillips it‘s called rolling shutter, it‘s when the propeller is spinning so fast that the camera‘s shutter speed cannot capture it fully, giving it the distorted image
took awhile to get all the cylinders firing with fluids on the ground but otherwise looking and more importantly sounding good!
What's going on when the pro slows down while cranking, where does the resistance originate from?
As each cylinder passes the compression stroke the starter has to work harder to compress the air/fuel mixture.
I'm sure there's probably lubricants in the fuel to help lubricate the top end because it hasn't been started in such a long time you know just stay Bill alone will make an engine smoke really bad for a while. And if it had a bad jug or rings then it wouldn't stop smoking!
Can someone explain what all the liquid coming from the exhaust is? Is it just water?
it is oil
What did you do to get it ready? I have a Continental 85 that has been sitting for 13 years. It was running fine when parked. What do you recommend I do to it before starting?
Charge the battery. ;-)
AWESOME!
why do the propeller do the thing it do, appearing to reverse and such... inquiring minds want to know.
It has to do with the frame rate of the camera in relation to the RPM of the prop.
Get Er Done!! Go Flying!!
So close, it almost took to the air
Sweet
I just noticed the wings seem to have been removed from the plane.
turning corkscrew it's a helo o. Its side
The 195 was a neat airplane, but the very limited view out the side windows would have me concerned about seeing other airplanes.
Wrong Way Feldman ready to fly again!
Is there someone in the plane.
yes
How many HP engine like that have?
Power spec rating is 245hp @ 2200 rpm, at sea level.

Try "Bump starting" it.
Is that the Jacobs engine? Doesn't look familiar...

Nice
Couldn't fit that on a Cessna 180, couldya?
buy an adapter kit. shoe spoon included
did you have to tear the engine down before you tried to run it? i heard radial's main bearings actually deform if the engine is allowed to sit for long periods of time in the vertical position
No we used MMO in each cylinder to make sure everything was lubed up well, inspected everything, pulled all the rocker covers and made sure nothing was broken there, went through the prop and filled it with oil and got gas to her and she fired up!
How long did you idle her for??
5-8 minutes.....we ran it up a 2nd time after this too.

Can you imagine that engine in a truck? I've seen it done!
Nah man in my 4wheeler!

I've seen one in a custom chopper!🏍
how many cyclinders in this plane
bestamerica Mad me laugh. Now let me count, 1, 2, 3!!!!
hi KA...
i used a magnifier len and see closer that count is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7...
7 cyclinders
Anthony Smith
How many...ON this engine!!
'
hi AS...
yes one engine and 7 cyclinders = one propeller fan...
only go forward spin...
no reverse
Most radials engines will have odd number cylinders when one row of cylinders but if you add another row of cylinders this row will have 7 but the total of 14.
all of them
