- I'm building the world's fastest 4 cylinder 2 seater airplane! and what better airplane to do it with than the Lancair 360 aka Cameron.
Teaming up with Lycoming and some other hot rod shops to make it happen.
Give Today to Help #SaveThe310. This story is only just beginning :). More to come soon!

N360KL, a Lancair 360 my uncle built, was clocked at 270 (unofficial). If you can beat that, I'd be rather impressed. Good luck, and hope to see you do it!
Speed mods? What engine?
Exactly -- what engine? Blind luck race #61 with a 360 Lycoming reached speeds of 245 mph a few yrs back. Don't think you're even close jimny.
@@markg4459 That is a good question. When built, it had an O-360. After my uncle sold it, I know the new owner did a number of modifications. I don't know what exactly was done to it, nor can I say for sure that it hit 270 since I have no data and did not witness it. It is all second hand.
Forged internals, high compression pistons, custom fuel tuning, custom cowling should get it to higher top speed.
Turbo, glass cockpit, onboard 02, adjustable prop. I wonder what it would do up high. The biggest issue I think are structural improvements.
Been flying for over 40 years. Love aviation and LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! Keep it up Jimmy
Thanks so much! Clear Prop!
As a 360 owner, this warms the cockles of my heart. And, of course, who doesn't love a warm cockle?
I will wait for the race with other aircraft and new records! keep it up! Everyone is waiting for new content and ready to help)
Oh yeah, that’s happening :)
Looks fast too.
@@therealjimmysworld how many planes do you have and do you have airplanes at two airports?
Needs to decal Cameron
Well Jimmy, this plane for sure needs some love. If this is your favorite plane? Your baby? Ok then bring it up to a champion. Glass Cockpit, nice interior, and an awesome outside color scheme? This plane could be way better, right? Maybe a constant speed prop? If this would be my airplane I would go for it, because it’s worth it. Just an idea. Plain white, old school clocks, a bit underrated for this sportswear? Take care, always safe flying. And don’t forget to safe the 310!!!
Hey Jimmy, long term subscriber and love your channel. The Lancair one of my favourite aircraft is worth keeping and upgrading for sure. Can I suggest that you at least put a constant speed prop and unit on it. If you can turbo or supercharge it, you might end up with a space shuttle or close to it. This one’s a keeper Jimmy. Lots of fans here in Australia mate. Keep up the good work buddy! Paul from the Gold Coast Queensland Australia.
Hi Jimmy, hi from the UK, we’re currently upgrading a 235. Which we have fallen in love with, well the bank manger has.
Keep going sir, awesome posts, I watch everyone.
Thanks
Paul
Jimmy I love the Glass Air but I built a Veri eze not the Long but the original Veri eze designed to dominate the endurance/ efficiency races in the 80’s. Which it did. 100hp fixed hand carved wood prop, no starter. Plane was actually built to the pilots shoulder width and weight (canard size). We typically ran 180 knots at 75% between 5000-7000 ft at 4gph😳. We never pushed hard but some of the guys pushed into the 190-200 running flat with juiced up hampsters. Rutan told us the only limitation was how fast the 100hp could spin. Then some crazy guys tossed jet engines on a few.
The Lance Air was my dream rig given you had more room to carry more than a spare pair of boxers and could put bigger power up front😆. Sweet planes!!
If you ever find a high rated build Veri eze not a Long, an actual Veri eze go fly it. If you like the Lance Air the eze will absolutely knock your socks off.
I love your channel and your great information you share. I think your a great pilot. I can't wait to see if your children follow in your footsteps. Nice seeing they are learning alot.
Peace
Ray
"I'm building the world's fastest 4-cylinder two seater"
Mike Patey: "Oh really?"
Turbulence had a 850-HP turbine. Scrappy has an 8-cylinder Lycoming. Neither of these is four cylinders :)
Game on!
@@zolotiyeruki 8 cylinder was first in the lanceair, the changed out for turbin
@@zolotiyeruki I know but I was meaning that this would be some sort of inspiration for a new build for Patey to do. lol Just poking a little fun. :)
@@therealjimmysworld are you really going to poke the bear
I can't believe you do not have over 1 million subscribers yet because this is one of the best channels on all of UA-cam!
Great news about the Lancair upgrades!!! Do Byron proud Jimmy!
Cheers, Sev
Thanks for another great video Jimmy.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
Like your two seater aircraft. Neat little speed demon.
Enjoy your ride today in the sky. Beautiful day to be flying. Super little machine.
You are getting it. Keep at it Jimmy.
You take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything.
Retired Air Force veteran.
Beautiful airplane, and the pilot, you did a great job, Jim. I enjoy all your video clips very educational. I am, a RC plane pilot, and also I fly Microsoft simulator.
Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Cameron! Keep the videos coming, Jimmy!
See! You're everywhere! :)
Just saw the schedule for EAA this year! Excited to see whatever plane makes it, hopefully it's the 310! 😉
#SaveThe310 :)
225 MPH at 23 MPG is a wonderful thing!
What’s the range?
@@Owlberightback range with 40 gal. tank would be about 900 miles with no reserve. They were also built with 44 gal. capacity.
@@kr6dr That's actually pretty good for a little speedster like this thing.
Man I'm getting home sick for the sky watching this. Been without my Sundowner for over a month now waiting for it to get repainted. Hope it is completed some time next month.
You love the Lancair 360, You'd also really love my Glasair 1-RG with 245 HP modified Lycoming IO360-C1D6 10:1 (heli) pistons, Balanced, Blueprinted, Flowed, Ported, Cam modified, Electronic ignition with advance, RAM air,. Constant speed 3 blade carbon prop (Whirlwind). I pull the RPM back to 2450 for more economic fuel burn, full MP in the 10,500 to 12,500 altitude range where I mostly cruise, I burn 8.5 gph ROP and 7.9 LOP. At these settings my TAS is ~185 Kts. ( ~ 215 mph true) at 2650 RPM I do about 200 kts (230 MPH) about 9.5 GPH. Fully areobatic too with both inverted fuel (flop tube on header tank) and oil system (Christen). My fuel capacity is 62 gallons with extended tip tanks.
very cool!
I’ve heard lycoming may know a little about how airplanes work glad you teamed up with them
Jimmy, thanks for entertainment. You are livin the dream ! I've been waiting for you to get to work on Cameron.
Hi Jimmy! Another fun filled video! Don't go tearing the wings off Cameron now will ya!!🤣🤣🤣
Cheers from Australia 👍👍👍
Jimmy Cameron desperately deserves a sick new paint job! Something epic to go with the new upgrades!!
Wonder how much weight a thin " Mirror finish Blue tint Chrome " Vinyl wrap would add to Cameron
Saying hello from Apopka sorry that we take so much of the frequency. I was up in the air when you were flying can’t wait to see the finished version.
Good morning and have a beautiful ☀️day! Love your videos!!
Thanks so much! You as well!
OMG JIMMY / Mavrick ...i was on the edge of my seat i thought i was watch the Darkstar agine ... that was awesome jimmy and ballsy ... big thumbs up 👍
I like Burt Rutan’s method of putting some or all of the plane on a truck with tabs to monitor air flow. I bet there are some tweaks to be made.
Very nicely done. Can't wait to see how fast you get this going.
Me too! So excited!
Cousin bought a Lancair LC 40 Columbia from the factory. It was a very sweet airplane to fly. As you said, like putting on a pair of pants, even though it was a four seater. Wonderful avionics and fast. I liked flying with the stick.
Love this channel. Keep em coming Jimmy. Regards from Port Elizabeth RSA.
Jimmy I like your Technical attitude. simplicity, Thanks keep it up.
Awwwh Jimmy that sky looked blue and sunny!
Just passed the shortest daylight hours here in Aus so your test flight in Cameron looked EXTRA gooood!
Cant wait to see what she tops out at!
"G" in GUMPS is for Gasoline, as in fuel selectors to appropriate tank. "G"asoline, "U"ndercarriage, "M"ixture, "P"rops, "S"afety (as in switches and seatbelts) it's the way I was taught many many years ago, just sayin. Others may have some variation of this but the most important thing I wanted to say is "can I get a CLEAR PROP" you're doing a great Job Jimmy and we appreciate what you're doing!
You are correct.... if you are doing the actual GUMPS check ;) I was doing the "Jimmy, don't forget the gear again" GUMPS check... lol
Jimmy's world skunk works, love it man, absolutely love it ✌️ ♥ 🎸 🍻
Mike and Mark Patey are laughing their tails off right now and saying "Bring it"
Lemme see, 3 blade constant speed prop, and a turbo for speed and altitude, and full glass panel with auto pilot. That ought to be a good start for Cameron...
Sounds expensive.
@@twistedyogert As opposed to traveling around the country buying up old planes and sinking small fortunes into restoring them? Or at least to get them airworthy again? A turbo and a constant speed prop would get him into the flt levels where he can really haul some ass, and make them btu generators earn their keep ;}>
Hot dang, Jimmy - this was such a great ride!
Thanks, buddy...
I happen to notice that your sunshade looks like angels wings keeping you safe.
Love the Lancair,Love your Channel,would love to see you get an old Mustang 2 beefed up to race against,Aluminium vs Composite that be epic.
Forest Gumps check 😅 Jimmy you’ve got one of the most enjoyable to watch personalities.
Air go cart. Sweet. Thanks for sharing
Aviation people are the greatest of any group.
You should check the Reno Air Races and see what guys like Daryl Greenamyer did with his Lancair Legacy N33XP.
Let's Go Jimmy!!! #SaveThe310 #GoFastCameron
That's so cool Jimmy. Thanks for the ride.
Hmmmm. In the murky swirliness that is JIMMY’S WORLD!….fast is as fast does ( to paraphrase a movie). It has been many years since I (eventually) passed my physics classes but I seem to recall things like flutter and shock that limits a planes not to exceed speed. As beautiful as Cameron is, we love our Jimmy too much to see her come apart in the air. But what am I thinking…this is Jimmy’s World and I’m sure all those silly laws of physics don’t apply. ❤️
Laws are meant to be broken ;) lol
@@therealjimmysworld sooo true. But we just don’t want our Jimmy to get broken.
@@therealjimmysworld Pushing the outside of the envelope is how your surviving family and the next pilot know where the line was drawn.
Mike Patey got 319 MPH out of a modified Lancair with a PT6 Turbo Prop shoehorned in. The airframe can handle it if modded correctly.
@@Edam-Channel I think he clipped the wings on that as part of those modifications.
The US Navy just called Jimmy, you are going to need a tail hook for the Lancair! :-D
Jimmy, just found a 1959 310c on FB Marketplace, thought you should check it out, it is located in Edgewater Florida!
Woo Hoo. Go Jimmyy! Cheers from Outback NSW.
Cameron is definitely a fun plane to fly. Good luck on the speed record my friend!
Cameron is awesome! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! Wish I could come down and help #savethe310
This is rightfully the favorite child! Such an amazing plane, and you couldn’t have found a better builder than the guy you bought it from. Gives you great confidence about the “bones” of the plane lasting a long time!
Yes I sure like that o'le boy He definitely was OCD about his plane everything had to meet his expectations very meticulous for sure!
It's definitely something worth being reminded of - why Jimmy has so much trust in this little plane.
Cameron is my favourite too…lovely plane, just need to polish that chalky white paint and you will have >200:-)
Nice run Jimmy :) hope Cameron gets you where you need to go... FASTER
Jimmy, you DA MAN!!!! A little on the crazy side, BUT, still DA MAN!!!!!
Jimmy, 250 kias (Its Indicated Airspeed) You were correct with the first thought. Love watching your Channel. Cheers! Jim.
Wow that is fast! Can’t wait to see what you do to make it even faster
YEAH!!!! This is what I have been waiting for!
Jimmy, you are having way too much fun. Livin' the dream. Lol
Wow awesome ! :D Wann have one too now haha :) Excited to see how fast you can get it !!
Years ago I visited Lancair at his original shop hanger and his first Lancair which was red. Remember him getting ridiculed for his construction process saying it would not hold up.
They always were my favorite kit airplane.
So this was a great video I loved it I am a total freak four-speed! Jimmy Brother from another mother lol first you got a port and polish those cylinder heads get them flowed for maximum performance and efficiency. Then screw a turbo put a pro charger on it talk to the guys at pro charger and see what they can do Shove much air as you can down the throat of that motor. Gitter done👍
Cool fun altitude great speed for a change a care free great video thanks Jimmy
Very cool Jimmy. Now I want one.
I love how you said "wearing the airplane". Makes me imagine just how awesome that plane is to fly. Very responsive little thing I'm sure!
wow jimmy! you got a set!! i was nervous the whole video! can i get a CLEAR PROP!!!!
Hi Jimmy, i love it every time I see a new video from you! It’s great to see how far you have come along and how you have made a great channel with quality content. I’m also an editor and cameraman, and I’m impressed with what you have done, and especially am impressed with Silas. Keep up the great work and don’t ever lose your humor!!!!
Thanks so much! He’s doing really well.
Call Mike Patey? He is just like you!! Loves planes!!! He’s done some crazy stuff with mods… you do crazy stuff with restoration… he has had a world record speed plane. He will have lots of insight. You both have awesome personalitys
Will do
love your videos, keep up the good work
Hi from Australia, love your video, a friend of mine has a glass air lll wow very fast. We where flying 240 knots. I love your Cameron
Another fantastic video Jimmy. BTW, Speed below 10,000 ft is 250 KIAS, so Indicted it is. I want a Lancair 360 now.....
Epic! What I'd give to go aloft just one more time.
Go for it, Jimmy Sky King!
Yeah I always loved lancairs!
What a nice clean cockpit, unlike the other stuff you see on this channel😂
Great video Captain
I know that it comes at a small speed cost, but would you consider adding winglets to it to improve safety/stall performance?
The plane is like a cirrus 22T if u ever flown one they are slick as slime it’s a balance of not shock cooling and getting down at a reasonable rate
Faster than a Mig 23, strewth , that's amazing.
My day is always better waking up to see a new "Jimmy's World" video......Russell D.
That was me in the skycather I've been taking lessons out in PC for a bit and seen you out there from time to time
Nice going. I do miss your mini me squad though…Saludos !!! 😃
I hope you do that. I read somewhere that Lance Neubauer (sp) built and flew at that time the fastest KR-2, then went on to design the Lancair. Beautiful plane!
You should see how slow my X-Air 582 is. Everything happens at 50mph! Controlled airspace love seeing me in the pattern. It's fun though! Love your channel Jimmy!!!!
Add a water injector system to run cooler and go faster just like the "Jug "
Nice speed demon! From truly one of your fans and part of that great AVIATION community.
140 is heckin optimistic for a Cherokee:p cool build!
A Jimmy's World video, and nothing broke!
shhhhhh, don't say that!!!! hahahaha
Cameron needs a cool paint job. Like flames or racing stripes or a shark face. I heard that cool paint jobs add 1 horsepower. 🤪
VERY COOL!!!
Cool project & goal
Would love to see how adding a constant speed prop will change things.
More efficient for sure. But I believe this plane’s limitation is going to be horsepower when it comes closer to top end at altitude.
@@Pilotman28 If Jimmy added a turbocharged engine, he could go higher where the air is thinner and thus encounter less air resistance. He might go faster then. Obviously an engine swap would be expensive but this is just a thought experiment.
But the speeds he achieved aren't bad. They would certainly exceed the top speeds of some high end sports cars.
@@twistedyogert Just yeet in a Junkers Jumo 213E-1, it can produce more than 2000 horsepower at 10000 meters altitude, and it only weighs 940 kgs....the only problem is....I don't think there's any of those engines around anymore. The other thing is that the engine is almost as large as the aircraft itself.
@@twistedyogert Get a Twin Turbo Continental and a good Constant speed prop. Can get it up to 17,500 probably get well above 230 KTAS. Maybe have to worry about airframe handling 300 hp though.
@@22airjordan1 The lancair 360 can safely accommodate powerplants rated as low as 120hp(89.5kW) and as high as 180hp(134.23kW).
Cant wait for the upgrades to Cameron!! Maybe a Garmin G3x touch for a glass cockpit upgrade???
Very interested to see how you go with the mods Jimmy 👍. I also have a Lancair 360 mk2 Ozzie tail but it has 200hp. The wing extensions and winglets mine has slow it down a little. Was getting around 190kt TAS at 9500ft. Gotta love the Lancair! Cheers from Australia.
Does Cameron have the reflex (neg flap) option? The 2 piece gear doors from Chris zavatson are a good place to start for speed mods due to the one piece tend to pull open slightly inflight creating unnecessary drag.
I've never heard any "It'll be fine" more unconvincing than Jimmy's :p XD
I can't wait to see what you will do to Cameron to get him to get up and go even faster Jimmy, Clear Prop! Lol
310 just landed gear up at EAA. There ya go JImmy, another donor.
You love the Lancair only because you haven't flown a Falco. ;) I had the pleasure to fly the first 25 hours off of a new Lancair 320 for a friend a few years ago. Super nice airplane. Looking forward to your future mods.
Congrats Jimmy on getting the speed of 225 with ur Cameron. lv the views.
Excellent stuff bro
Great initiative.
