My hats off to all who helped clean the 310. Very proud of the work they did. Count yourself blessed to have such wonderful volunteers. Great job guys.
Just got my private pilot license last week, I’ve been following the channel since I arrived in Florida. Hasn’t disappointed me and loving it. Going for my instrument license now, rushing a bit. Maybe I’ll have my license just after the 310’s first new flight. Keep it up!
Congratulations! If your looking for a career then nothing wrong with fast tracking as long as you can retain the training and info. Going for instrument right after is not rushing. That’s great. You should. Training is never a bad thing until it becomes too much pressure combined with the rest of life. Then you may run into problems.
I'm loving being part of Jimmy's world, easily my favourite UA-cam channel for the last few weeks since I found you. Haven't been able to get my license yet so living vicariously through this haha
@@Codiac15 you should both consider Light Sport Rules, only need a drivers license. If you are ever denied a medical or lose a medical you can not fly light sport and the only thing left is UL I would not qualify for a medical so fly light sport ( with my doctor’s blessings) . Check out all your options and rules before going for the Medical.
How could anyone leave that beautiful airplane to rot away I am so glad Jimmy is restoring it It’s an act of great courage and deep pockets You are the best Jimmy
You’re a legend Jimmy! I love how you have managed to mobilise a willing workforce… and jeez that plane is now nice and shiny!!! Good luck from across the pond 🇬🇧
Jimmy... Fantastic video! EXCELLENT production. Terrific cinematography... fantastic music score... amazing editing! The quality of your videos have exponentially gotten better in the past few months. Kudos to the 310 Cleaning Crew!
I’m sooo digging the 310. Started my aviation career at Embry Riddle in Daytona. Got my A&P there as well as Bachelor in Management. Wanted to fly but couldn’t afford the flight fees after the first semester. Dad being a E-7 in the Army I was paying my own way thru college. After working for several years post college for McDonell Douglass/Boeing I started my flight training for my PPL. Then found out I was a diabetic so lost that via a medical. Had I been able to get my multi-rating I always dreamed of getting a 310…” my favorite GA plane. And love your side comments about “never challenge or dispute the CDC.” I hear ya 5x5!
Love what your doing. The 310 looks great cleaned up. Got my license in the early 90's got married and grounded due to AIDS (airport induced divorce syndrome) kid's out of school want to get back in cockpit!!! This is very inspiring to see the hard work you are doing. Living in Missouri to far to help but I'm there in sprit. CLEAR PROP!
Rodny really you make me passionate about what happened with you ..the AIDS is it really affected your marriage life?I understand the effects of retirement or leaving a work..such as depression..and belonginig to that time.
I have experience with mousepiss smelling interiors. Quick, easy, effective fix. If you can, leave the interior in the rain and let the sun dry it. It works better then any product you can buy.
Hey, saving the 310 was a must for anyone who remembers Sky King, Penny and the Songbird! She's looking beautiful and will be even better when you get her all back together. There's no reason or justification to not reinstall the original interior pieces especially when the guys got them looking like new. Keep'em! Put'em in! Can't wait to see her back together and turnin' her props!
Oh Yeah, EA6B Prowler Avionics Tech here too. Very little know secret, the military doesn't go to war without Jammers. I was in VAQ-137 the Rooks & VAQ-309 the AxeHoles, oh sorry, the Axemen. Loved the show! The 310 is looking great! Hats off to the 310 crew. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
My name is Timothy and I am a 3rd generation airplane enthusiast. I’m currently serving as a maintainer in the USAF. I would absolutely love to more involved in the world aircraft like you are. Keep posting amazing videos!
I subbed at the finding of the 310. Don’t ask me why an ex trawler man who’s scared of heights want too watch a broken down ol plane being resurrected I just am 😅 keep it up jimmy 😂✌️🇬🇧
Hey Jimmy..love your vids…my dad was a Bonanza pilot..from 68 to 90…I have the original wooden paddle Beech propeller that was on his 47 ..straight 35.Bonanza..88”..in beautiful condition…it was removed in 68 and replaced with a aluminum 82” propeller..he had a 59 K35 Bonanza..those airplanes were bulletproof…rarely ever gave any problems
Great videos Jimmy. Stumbled upon this and another channel's plane rebuilding (with a cameo from you). My son is studying for his CPL and find these interesting. G'day from Sydney Australia.
I love what your doing. Fun fact, my dad used to own a cessna 320 with a simalar paint scheme so this brings back many memories. Unfortunataly he had to land it with the nose gear not locked. He still lives to tell the storie and some foto's to brag about it.
Jimmy. Thanks for what you do. Apart from the project you do, you take off a lot of stress from a lot of people. You give people a chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of their worlds to yours. For this I say God Bless you and well done 👏
Always wondered why you did all the removal with out a mask, googles, and sometimes no gloves. I ran into this situation at a friends house years ago. Got suited up, chased everyone away, scooped, and vacuumed everything out. Then I set a fan in the area to cycle the air. Good job guys.👍
Hey Jimmy awesome volunteers 👍 to all you guys great work, and Jimmy for stepping in to our brothers in the Restration 401 project up north.Theses wonderful birds are the true honest twins of our generation keep up the great work.
Now the work begins! Glad you mentioned the diseases caused by the mouse crap. I’ve only got about an hours worth of vacuuming left on the Cessna 150a I’m rescuing. I’ve already made a pass down the runway to test the airspeed indicator. Looks like I’m past all the cheap fixes and now it going to cost real money if it’s going to fly.
That even looks lika an airplane again!! Keep the interior!! Looks awesome!! And if you replace it, those guys would have done all that work for nothing.....
Being a professional upholstery guy I would replace the interior upholstery,…after you know it’s going to stay in the air. : ) Let me know and I’ll cut you a deal when your ready. Save the 310 !
WONDERFUL!!!!! This is such a heart-warming series - for all us 310-lovers around the globe!!! For authenticity and originality, keep what ever you can - That interior came back to life, literally - and it would be a pity to scarp it for something modern & 'fancy'. The whole airplane oozes of 'the Fifties! Stay on that path!! ALL THE BEST OF LUCK - you love this airplane - you deserve to get it all right!!!
Hey Jimmy, I applaud your ambitious journey to raise the ole girl from the dead-at 68, and 50 years of aviating, I’m afraid I wouldn’t live long enough to see her resurrection ( mainly because my wife would shoot me first)!That said, I’m am enjoying living vicariously through your videos.One suggestion: Here in Texas , we call every one thousand $ bill spent on an airplane an “AMU” (Aviation Monetary Unit)- seems to make it it a little less painful to see all the “zeros” and easier for my brain to do the math. ;)
Loving the rebuild of the 310 Jimmy. I was always getting in trouble at the rail yard I worked at as it was in the flight line of DFW Airport and was constantly watching the planes. Planes are science in motion. Love the channel and keep em coming
Hey bro couple of comments... In all seriousness, what happened today around that airplane is what makes America great. And secondly, you are hitting it between the eyes...... Most people don't have the balls to finish what they start. Thank you for bringing us in on possibly one of the greatest projects that I have seen on UA-cam in a very long time. Can't wait to see that sucker fly. Darryl Central Florida
Since bumped into this channel well can't get enough olways I keep my notifications on just just to watch Jimmy's funniest plane building ... my day won't be completed untill I watch Jimmy's uploads love it ...good job for keeping us laughing and we'll entertain...👍
Hey Jimmy, I own a panel shop in South Africa, get yourself some farecla G360 polish, it's just something else when it comes to restoring and getting a glass finish on old paint, trust me you won't be disappointed... I use it on my own plane 😉 Fantastic channel, keep up the good work and content
Hi Jimmy, great channel can't fly as to old and too busy, plus not so easy over here in England, but watching you on this channel has inspired me to get a lot of my unfinished projects done, old Tractor, Motor Bike, various engines. I might not be able to get over and help you personally but I'm with you all the way in spirit. More Power to your Elbow. Regards Richard 🇬🇧
I soloed at the age of 16 and went up through the civilian ranks until I finally realized my dream and life’s ambition to become an airline pilot. I retired as a United B737 Captain in 2018. Love your series and I am looking forward to seeing this thing fly soon.
Progress, progress, progress! So much has been done since you rescued this 310. I hope you’re able to make your deadline and complete the plane for its inaugural flight in almost 40 years!!
Greetings from sunny (?) England! It's great to see this old bird starting to come alive. She looked like an ugly duckling no-hoper when you found her but there's a swan of an airplane lurking under all that filth. You are doing a fantastic job: this airplane is part of our heritage and by restoring her, you are motivating others to save our heritage too. Keep it up!
Jimmy did you Know the other guy trying to get that plane running. I commented to you to help him . Your a good dude. I was surprised to see you on his video. Georgia Mad Mike said that, Thanks Jimmy. We want Trump
Thanks mighty mouse bgone team six for scrubbing away the mouse house smells and dribbles!!glad you could put ur sweat n time to give our jimmy the help he needed to get things moving.from all of us out here give ur selves a pat and a hooray. To effort on saving the 310,bless ur 💕 hearts.snooky pa.🤐🤪💥💯💥🤟
I have been flying RC Airplanes since 1988 and designed a few of my own. I built a 65" Cessna UC78/T50 Bobcat from a set of plans from 1964. I also designed my own twin engine which you can see on my channel, and back in 2015 I started building a Cessna 310 from plans which would have had a 10 foot wingspan when completed. It was designed many years ago by a guy named Bud Nosen which you can also find on youtube. Unfortunately I never finished the 310 due to a divorce and loss of my building space. Maybe some day I will finish it?
Los of us RC fliers are part of the full scale aviation world even though we are not full scale pilots. We would have a heck of a head start over people that are trying to get their PPL that didn't fly RC thats for sure especially if you have built RC aircraft from plans or kits. Most of the notable pilots from the past did start with model building or RC.
Hey Jimmy. I can’t give you a thumbs down, because I love this video. I am a big fan, and I am actually looking at a 310 myself. I think you should dump the interior. I think you should start fresh with all new interior. Make the interior what you want it to be. She shines up really nice and pretty! Can’t wait to see when you reinstall the vertical and horizontal stabilizer. Will really start looking like an airplane then. Keep up the great work with the videos, iTunes into them as soon as I possibly can after you release them.
Awesome Jimmy! Two questions: is the wing without stripes and cream paint the one that was replaced? How often does an aeroplane need to be polished? Its great to watch this project :)
As to the polish question, a lot of that depends on where the airplane is based, whether or not it's stored indoors or outdoors and how many flight hours it sees per year, as well as what kind of flying conditions it sees. If it's kept in a hanger, flown 200 hours per year in VFR conditions, you might only need to polish it once a year. If it's kept outdoors, flys in something like the Pacific Northwest where it's wet, rainy in flying IN instrument conditions, you might need to polish it every six months, if not more. There is no single answer for that.
@@slammerf16 Yes! LOL. It does both. The wing surface is designed to move air molecules over it smoothly. Even tiny imperfections in the surface will cause turbulence in the airflow of the wing. If you don't understand how a wing works and generates lift, please look up Bernoulli's Principal, as that is foundational to how an airplane flies. As the air flows over the top of the wing, the curvature of the wing accelerates the airflow, lowering the local pressure. There is more pressure on the underside of the wing, which causes lift. There is something called 'laminar flow' which is used in fluid dynamics, and it applies to air, as well. A laminar flow wing gives better airflow over it, versus a 'turbulent flow' wing. Not all wings are laminar flow, since it costs extra to actually make them. Piper Aircraft, for their PA-28 series of airplanes, used a laminar flow wing, and then totally destroyed the laminar flow by using exposed, rounded rivet heads across the wing. The 'tripped' the laminar flow, totally negating all of the positive aspects of it. A company called 'Laminar Flow Systems' has a series of specialized coverings for the exposed rivets that will, according to some people, can gain up to 15-20 knots of airspeed. Just by covering the exposed rivet heads. So, having said all of that, a smooth, polished surface, will reduce some of the irregularities in the shape and texture of the wing. The wax will fill microscopic imperfections, and will also allow the air to flow easier over the wing. Take your car, for instance. You wash the car, and the water just sits on it. However, add a coat of a high quality wax and polish, and then the water beads up on the surface and runs off. The same applies to waxing your airplane, and while yes, the water beads up and runs off, air molecules also will act somewhat the same. As to the look/corrosion thing, paint will, over time, oxidize. A coat of wax prevents the oxidation of the paint by becoming a sacrificial layer. Now, in the case with this 310, I'm going to assume that they also had to use a compound to bring out the color and remove layers of oxidation. At some point, that will remove the paint because it had not been cared for in 37 years. Surprisingly, the coating of dust actually helped to protect the paint, somewhat, but only to a degree. You could see that they were able to bring much of the paint back to a shiny luster, and with the addition of a coat of wax, it will maintain that for six months to a year. I hope this answers your question.
@@GaryMCurran Hi Gary I looked at the Laminar Flow Systems youtube video.....very interesting. I have a French aircraft, SUD GY80, very similar to Cherokee, and lots of rivet heads. Allan
@@victorvodkafish Allan, I am not an aerodynamicist, so I can't really tell you about your airfoil, but in looking up the specs on the Socata Horizon, your airfoil has two different parts to it, and from that alone, I would say that you do not have a laminar flow wing. But, as I said, I'm not an aerodynamicist, so I could be totally wrong. Given a clean wing, it is possible to even keep the airflow attached even farther back, giving you greater aerodynamic flow. But, literally, even bugs on the wing will trip the laminar flow, presenting a slight reduction in the efficiency of the wing.
The 310 is cleaning up nicely... Need to get your vinyl guys to hookup some vinyl to cover up the off color and missing stripes on the left wing... And after the interior team worked their butts off on the seats and such... You definitely have to keep the interior!!
Hi Jimmy, I love your videos and would love to do what you do, I have the video a thumbs down only because I don’t like black interiors. But this video is definitely a thumbs up.
A Miller High Life belt buckle? Wow! The 310 just paid for itself with that classic collectable item! The 310 sure looks a lot better now that it is cleaned and polished.
Thank you guys that volunteered... above and beyond.
My hats off to all who helped clean the 310. Very proud of the work they did. Count yourself blessed to have such wonderful volunteers. Great job guys.
Whoever is helping with the directing, editing and producing this has done a great job! If it’s you Jimmy, great work!

I do the editing And I have to say DAM GOOG JOB !!!!
It’s your mom

I vote to keep as much of the interior as possible. Looks like a lot of fun.
You’re a legend Jimmy! I love how you have managed to mobilise a willing workforce… and jeez that plane is now nice and shiny!!! Good luck from across the pond 🇬🇧
Better fly the team for a trip on the 310.

I also designed my own twin engine which you can see on my channel, and back in 2015 I started building a Cessna 310 from plans which would have had a 10 foot wingspan when completed. It was designed many years ago by a guy named Bud Nosen which you can also find on youtube. Unfortunately I never finished the 310 due to a divorce and loss of my building space. Maybe some day I will finish it?
I'm tellin' ya them womens is poison.
Going to sub to your channel.
Los of us RC fliers are part of the full scale aviation world even though we are not full scale pilots. We would have a heck of a head start over people that are trying to get their PPL that didn't fly RC thats for sure especially if you have built RC aircraft from plans or kits. Most of the notable pilots from the past did start with model building or RC.
This is like the one I started building but never got to finish... ua-cam.com/video/Urcz3fweM5w/v-deo.html
Loved watching the 310 get a lot of love. Shiny and clean
Great to see all the help for this girl to get in the air again-Blue skies to all the crew
WOW!!!!!
She spiffed up real nice!!!!!!
👍 Keep her as original as possible.
Hey Jimmy. I can’t give you a thumbs down, because I love this video. I am a big fan, and I am actually looking at a 310 myself. I think you should dump the interior. I think you should start fresh with all new interior. Make the interior what you want it to be. She shines up really nice and pretty! Can’t wait to see when you reinstall the vertical and horizontal stabilizer. Will really start looking like an airplane then. Keep up the great work with the videos, iTunes into them as soon as I possibly can after you release them.
You give the thumbs down, in the comments. 👎
Thats just amazing! Thanks for all the volunteers that helped!
Awesome Jimmy!
Two questions: is the wing without stripes and cream paint the one that was replaced?
How often does an aeroplane need to be polished?
Its great to watch this project :)
As to the polish question, a lot of that depends on where the airplane is based, whether or not it's stored indoors or outdoors and how many flight hours it sees per year, as well as what kind of flying conditions it sees. If it's kept in a hanger, flown 200 hours per year in VFR conditions, you might only need to polish it once a year. If it's kept outdoors, flys in something like the Pacific Northwest where it's wet, rainy in flying IN instrument conditions, you might need to polish it every six months, if not more.
There is no single answer for that.
@@GaryMCurran does polishing make any difference to performance? Or is it a looks/corrosion prevention thing?
@@slammerf16 Yes! LOL. It does both. The wing surface is designed to move air molecules over it smoothly. Even tiny imperfections in the surface will cause turbulence in the airflow of the wing. If you don't understand how a wing works and generates lift, please look up Bernoulli's Principal, as that is foundational to how an airplane flies. As the air flows over the top of the wing, the curvature of the wing accelerates the airflow, lowering the local pressure. There is more pressure on the underside of the wing, which causes lift. There is something called 'laminar flow' which is used in fluid dynamics, and it applies to air, as well. A laminar flow wing gives better airflow over it, versus a 'turbulent flow' wing. Not all wings are laminar flow, since it costs extra to actually make them. Piper Aircraft, for their PA-28 series of airplanes, used a laminar flow wing, and then totally destroyed the laminar flow by using exposed, rounded rivet heads across the wing. The 'tripped' the laminar flow, totally negating all of the positive aspects of it. A company called 'Laminar Flow Systems' has a series of specialized coverings for the exposed rivets that will, according to some people, can gain up to 15-20 knots of airspeed. Just by covering the exposed rivet heads.
So, having said all of that, a smooth, polished surface, will reduce some of the irregularities in the shape and texture of the wing. The wax will fill microscopic imperfections, and will also allow the air to flow easier over the wing. Take your car, for instance. You wash the car, and the water just sits on it. However, add a coat of a high quality wax and polish, and then the water beads up on the surface and runs off. The same applies to waxing your airplane, and while yes, the water beads up and runs off, air molecules also will act somewhat the same.
As to the look/corrosion thing, paint will, over time, oxidize. A coat of wax prevents the oxidation of the paint by becoming a sacrificial layer. Now, in the case with this 310, I'm going to assume that they also had to use a compound to bring out the color and remove layers of oxidation. At some point, that will remove the paint because it had not been cared for in 37 years. Surprisingly, the coating of dust actually helped to protect the paint, somewhat, but only to a degree. You could see that they were able to bring much of the paint back to a shiny luster, and with the addition of a coat of wax, it will maintain that for six months to a year.
I hope this answers your question.
@@GaryMCurran Hi Gary
I looked at the Laminar Flow Systems youtube video.....very interesting.
I have a French aircraft, SUD GY80, very similar to Cherokee, and lots of rivet heads.

@@victorvodkafish Allan, I am not an aerodynamicist, so I can't really tell you about your airfoil, but in looking up the specs on the Socata Horizon, your airfoil has two different parts to it, and from that alone, I would say that you do not have a laminar flow wing. But, as I said, I'm not an aerodynamicist, so I could be totally wrong. Given a clean wing, it is possible to even keep the airflow attached even farther back, giving you greater aerodynamic flow. But, literally, even bugs on the wing will trip the laminar flow, presenting a slight reduction in the efficiency of the wing.
The 310 is looking awesome, great video Jimmy.
This is my new favorite channel! Living the dream through you, Jimmy!! Can't wait to see it at Sun N Fun!
The 310 is cleaning up nicely... Need to get your vinyl guys to hookup some vinyl to cover up the off color and missing stripes on the left wing... And after the interior team worked their butts off on the seats and such... You definitely have to keep the interior!!
Hi Jimmy, I love your videos and would love to do what you do, I have the video a thumbs down only because I don’t like black interiors. But this video is definitely a thumbs up.
You should save the carpets because it parts of the history. Jimmy love what you did to it.
Thanks for making these videos! I'm thoroughly enjoying watching you put yourself into saving these airplanes. I wish I could be there to help out.
A Miller High Life belt buckle? Wow! The 310 just paid for itself with that classic collectable item!
The 310 sure looks a lot better now that it is cleaned and polished.
Great videos Jimmy can’t wait to see the 310 complete. Hopefully there are some more revivals in the future.
40 year airline veteran and I smile for the whole video! ... Make sure to install a FMS!
