I grew up flying the 414. It was our family airplane. It's a great airplane, I've never seen it in that condition though😢😅
Hi Jimmy - i was surprised you did NOT mention the BENT prop tip on the starboard side ? "WAZZUP wit dat" 🙂
@@ashleydavies5983 upside is a scam. All the gas they tell you to buy is higher than elsewhere.
@buck Murdock negative to the prices. The gas stations and restaurants are priced the same as anywhere else. All the circle K's around me are a part of the Upside deal.
At 62 in 6, months i will become a license a&p. I can't believe I'm doing it. A life long dream of mine!
Your A/C videos give more inspiration.
That is excellent news. Ol' Ben, the face of the now worthless $100 bill, said it well, "you may delay, but time does not".
Start practicing getting up and down on a creeper.
Very nice. Congratulations and well done. Now the whole trick will be to get a shop set up where you can put the planes on a huge rotisserie so you can flip them around to where you can actually get to all sides without having to get up and down. Easier to spin the plane that.
Congrats! Nice work
Heck yeah!!! Good for you!
WOW!!!!! Jimmy passed on an old aeroplane! Mark that on the calendar! Glad to see you have some sanity left. Either that or the ball & chain is forcing you to evaluate the finances. Love the channel.
just think how much better off you would be Jimmy, if you had listened to your wife earlier 🤣🤣🤣... yeah, me too!
This is closer to what one would expect to see washed ashore somewhere along the coast of a nation that specialized in breaking down junked ships. My suggestion, the owners should drain the tanks, drain the oil, and sink it somewhere deep where the barnacles can grow, the coral can form and the fish can live happily ever after. It belongs deep because it will never go high again.
As someone who lived inland all his life, the subject of salt air corrosion never entered my vocabulary. But, after living on the coast for 7 years I was well versed in it's corrosive properties by the time I moved away!
You left a part, in San Francisco!?! Can't remember who sings it...("Left my Heart in San Francisco")
I guess there is a reason it was abandoned, likely corrosion was at the top of the list. I recall 1980 spring time Dad asked me if I wanted to go with him to the USA to shop for a pressurized plane for the arctic charter operation. A salesman flew us down from Edmonton to Olathe KS. in a Cessna 402, we bought a 1971 Cessna 414 in very nice condition, flew it back to Canada at FL 29, it was a comfortable aircraft...good memories. The props had outstanding AD's could have chucked a blade..we were lucky, Dad took the Cessna 414 maintenance course at Cessna in Wichita, think it was a 4 week course. Thx Jimmy for video
Are you still in aviation?
@@KutWrite I was 18 then now almost 61, I have a kit plane, Europa monowheel with 914 turbo...so just privately in aviation. Dad was one of the best pilots in the north and also when it came to fixing/diagnosis of trouble. He had a beautiful Helio Courier, Aztec and Cessna 180...he lived a life of many adventures and always got his passengers home safe...could have wrote a book..should have wrote a book.
@@dwaynemcallister7231 Great!
"AD's"??
What happened to the ,310
Jimmy the bulges you were feeling on the side of the fuselage by the baggage compartment doors are the ice protection plates. They are there to protect the fuselage from ice that is slung off the propellers when you activate the prop deice. The Alcohol tank in the right rear nacelle is for the windshield deice. 414's had the option of a heated windshield ($30,000) or alcohol Deice. There should be a spray bar on the bottom of the windshield.
@Eagle201 - Looks like our pal Jason has been mass deleting our comments on his channel.
@@lesterawilson3 Yes, he has me blocked. Also deleted Buck Murdock and S35 Bonanza
@@eagle2019 I saw that too... you guys know your shit too which made the comments far more informative and interesting.
@@lesterawilson3 Thanks, I tried to help him from the beginning since I've owned a 401B since 1997 and a 421C but he ignored my emails and comments. His deleting comments and blocking people just reinforces everyone's comments of it being a scam.
There's a local paintball field, which has an old busted up Huey & maybe a salvaged plane, that are in the parking area for ambiance
I looked it up and the last flight was to WAUCHULA, FL in 2018 it's hard to believe a plane can look that bad after 5 years.
I like how your knowledge has increased since the first 310 video!
I was 33 in 1998. I’m almost 58 now. I’ve been in love with aviation since I was 3 or 4. 😁
Me too, and I was 51 then.
That's just soul crushing for me as the 414 has always been my dream plane. I could easily get by with a 150 but have always wanted a 414. In the end it really doesn't matter since I have had a stroke and lost the ability to speak.
Bill Clishmam
You go Bill !
Good morning Jimmy!!!!! Best way to start the day! Jimmy’s World! Yeah!❤😂🎉
I think I would pass on that one. The owner needs to pay somebody to haul it away lol.
The owner probably died years ago.
Jimmy, I live 45 minutes away from that restore shop in Huron Park, Ontario. My nephew just received his first stripes. He's a good kid. You're a good dude, I'm busy with my elderly parents, right now. If ya ever need a hand, just saying is all. #fan
I did read that story! Great read. I read to my son while he was going to sleep. Fun story.
Dont walk away from that plane, run!
Final thoughts... walk away... at a brisk pace! Would make a cool playhouse for a kid tho. Also Q-tip props, if anyone is wondering why they're bent. Jimmy's correct, it's on purpose. It was essentially done for ground clearance and performance. Also not worth the change unless the owner just had money to burn. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here..
Engines have core value, which may be surprising because of the Conti frem exchange policy.
While its obvious that is not a plane worth saving, but maybe parting out, very interesting to see. Thanks for sharing.
That is incredible that you got to sit in one. The SR 71 is bad ass. Congrats.
It’s amazing to me that you can find so much flying
I have not even seen the video - but yes the deal was too good to be true 🤣
Jimmy My Name is aldo Jimmy, I have over 22,500 hours in a Cessna 182 RG, I really enjoy your post. Keep up the great work you do.
The Mountain Dew has altered Jimmy’s thinking 🤣😆
Dont walk-RUN from that plane, Jimmy !!!!
That would make a good song, "Run, Jimmy, Run!"
And scream like a girl!
Need to up your Upside game man. I’m at $521 for this year so far haha. Love the video, keep ‘em comin!
You're a wild man sir the true definition of a pilot
Keep the great content coming we love you in the uk
So what I gather is, it would cost as much as a running airplane, flying airplane, free functional it would cost about the same to get this one just where it’s operational
I Love that book! HATCHET!!! i think i read that and book report in 4th grade. Good video my man! Plane is toast but parts can be salvaged.
When I was a kid (in the 70’s) my parents’ best friends had a 421 - so many great memories flying places in that fast and elegant aircraft. So sad to see one trashed like this one.
Jimmy, my dream is to own either 414 short nose or the 421! Im saving but my being career military its going to be years if ever which is why say "dream" man the airframe and interior looks nice and same here I want it for the family and traveling the world.
Pressurized (1:34) means that plane is just waiting to break apart at altitude due to metal fatigue. Just ask those passengers on the Hawaiian Airlines flight where the fuselage broke apart.
how about the 401 from rebuild rescue....maybe the interior fits?
Jimmy, not even Jason from Rebuild rescue would touch that one!!😂😂
He could probably use the interior
Usually cause he spends most of the video talking
Just what I was thinking 😂👍✌️🇬🇧
Sure he would. Make a 55 minute video about solving a 30 second problem.
😂😅😊😮
A cry in the wild was the hatchet movie from 1990. Great movie.
I spent something like 6 hours up and another 6 back a month and a half later in the co pilot seat of one of them back in about 1974 going to and from a job on an oil rig in the dead centre of the harshest part of the desert in far western Queensland. It got (weirdly and for the first time in recorded history) flooded out and he couldn't land on our temporary dirt strip for a couple of weeks, when he did he had to pick up a bunch of us and then we had to search for a contractor who'd driven out in a Toyota Land Cruiser and not been heard of since. The takeoff involved swerving around crevasses that opened up everywhere then jumping it over a bigger one right across the strip then back on ground till speed built enough to properly fly. We found the missing guys car, it was about 200 miles south after ploughing through mud for many miles till it just couldn't go further. Next we had to check he wasn't in the cabin, the back or anywhere around it by doing crazily low banked passes and literally looking in as we looped past, he definitely wasn't in there. Next the mad pilot looked for, then flew through the densest looking storm cells, just for a bit of excitement!
We later found out the driver had slogged his way from there ON FOOT F*** knows how many miles to the nearest homestead. How the hell he managed that out there with that being at least 60 miles away and through deep mud and about knee deep water all the way with not even a raised piece of ground ANYWHERE in that dead flat desert (normally) I'll never understand. One incredibly tough guy!
Cool plane back then though. This poor old one's looking just a little sad.
Jimmy, if that is an older GTN 750 (not an Xi) then it's only worth around $3000. The GTN 750Xi is $15K.
Rebuild Rescue has a 401a with a couple spare Turbo continental engines and a lot of parts, could always go and swindle a new power plant for the plane lol
Still not as bad as the 401 at rebuild. A simple little project, everything will just buff out. But you are right, they were working the wing AD and decided that the cost was too great.
So what would be a good use for this. Well say you get it at the 17K then you turn it into a SUV, mount it on a truck chassis. Take the wings off at the mount points. Sell the engines as cores, that's a bunch of your money back. Part it out for the aviation stuff and as I said make it into a SUV.
Or make it into a boat. Pontoons on the wing roots and so on.
The wing spar AD pretty much killed the 400 series Cessnas. I’d rather have a turbo Centurion anyway. Not a P model though. Maintenance is way too pricey on the pressurized model.
Or how about a C337 ? Those are cool airplanes. Not super fast, but reliable.
337 Rear engine temp problems were common.
Great flying airplanes. I really liked them.... Few others did.
Just spent $250000 on the Elvis lemon. Wouldn't worry about $17000, ....
Florida, world home of corrosion?
Nah, try South-East Asia, India or Brazil... around the equator it really hits 94% humidity each day.... perfect for corrosion :)
Add on the $80,000 A/D for the mainspar, and the Elvis deal could look like the deal of the century in comparison.
This aircraft is not affected by the Wing Spar AD, only the 414A's
This is my favourite UA-cam channel - I love watching your video's
Any time I've been in a GA plane you can poop in, the rule is if you use the lav, you're cleaning it or you're paying the line guy for lav service.
Hatchet is the first book I can remember reading and enjoying. Lol
Landed over 5 years ago. FAA records say it was caught up in the Bermuda Triangle and came back dismantled with no passengers or Pilot
Jimmy I live here in utah.
There is a guy selling his 1956 piper pa 20 pacer for 42k has had a lot of work done to it.
Also a guy selling his 1956 piper pacer for 30k and one other gut selling his 1996 piper Comanche for 99k.
Just thought you be interested...
We had to read hatchet in elementary school and I loved that book... the detail how he learned to look for the shape of grouse to hunt them and how after he went back to the plane to get the survival kit he had the Henry survival rifle and it helped him immensely.. how they described the pilot still being in the plane in the lake and how he learned to make fire .. I may have to revisit the book and read it again
it makes the elvis plane look like a sound investment 🤣
I think Hound Dog 2 will turn out to make money for Jimmy. I'd never have thought of those tags. Just those will probably go for $500 each.
@@KutWrite yer dreaming pal.
For a parts doner I would buy it, esp with the avionics if they dont mty it out first b4 you get back to it also transport might outdo the profit available - Good luck Jimmy
I don't fly, but enjoy your videos. From what I can see from them, the air fram is worth next to nothing in most of these. It's the engins that hold all the value. IN addition, GA is an impractical form of locomotion, costing way more than other alternate means of travel. What am I missing?
Yes, I'm glad you decided not to buy it, Jimmy. Yes, that's the best decision you could do with that Sessna.
Hey Jim, when you do videos like these it would be great if you start by talking about the plane, when they started it, what it's specs are, what it can do stuff like that
Hatchet! Gary Paulsen. Haven’t thought about that in years. My fourth grade teacher gave me that book, I couldn’t put it down.
Jimmy...with age/experience comes wisdom! Nice to see this becoming a constant reality for you brother...
Jimmy, I hope that you are having fun with all of these stressful airplanes. Lol
You guys are doing a wonderful job on the New 401,I watch every time you posted new version .. Hope too see y'all in #THE BAHAMAS!!
This will be the ultimate Will It start🤣🤣🤣
What puzzles me is, when you find a plane is not worth fixing because of an expensive AD, why then let it sit and weather for six more years? At least pickle the engines.
Definitely a case of an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure. Pickling the engines will save you tens of thousands on the sales price later on.
especially as you can (if they work) get your money back from the avionics and the props
I think he is looking for the best project
The owner probably was a bank or other lien holder. The buyer/borrower probably wanted to cut his losses, or maybe went bankrupt. Looking at how banks and other mortgagors maintain houses, this is no surprise.
Actually pull the engines and any other viable components, sell them or store them in a protective situation. Then if you decide to go with the AD you still have good parts. But do something with the money parts.
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
I really like the look of the center clock in the Mercedes.
I just started watching your channel. I’ve come to the conclusion so far that you haven’t grown up yet. I do believe you know what you’re doing. I also come to the conclusion you like to have fun and fool around at your job. Dealing with aviation is a serious business. So far on this video everything is a joke to you. You don’t need a floor. I’ll take the plane for free, etc.
that would be a cool competition of projects with the Rebuild Rescue channel, who else would want to see that?
I stopped using upside about a yr ago due to the gas station that use upside charging more for there gas than the ones that don't.
Use it as a learning tool for future aircraft mechanics and Air frame too. They can practice drilling out fasteners and filling holes
Dude! You can't do a 400 series Cessna! I think Jason from Rebuild Rescue has a lock on those!!! 🤣
If you win it you should make an aviation playground/park. Ever heard of digger land, an amusement park of construction equipment. People could bring their kids to play pilot…
Young Man , you have a fascinating UA-cam channel. I don't know what you do for a living, you obviously have done very well.
From Clearwater Beach Florida Sand keys.

Hi Jimmy, expiration dates? I was alive in 1948, so does that make me old yet? LOL I might be old but young enough to watch every mad cap video of yours mate - LOL - KEEP THEM COMING.. thanks - IAN - UK.
Don't walk away from this gem. *RUN, RUN, RUN* away from it.
Jimmy don't do it.I was an A&P for 20 years at one of the most well known Cessna dealers in the US.I worked on many 414's like this one.I would walk away from this one.
What's your opinion of the 401 restoration on Rebuild Rescue?
Florida kills airplanes. Corrosion
Those propellers are called q tip propellers. They help with noise. Not bent from accident.
The cores from engine and prop would give a boost into the price recovery.
Is the price of $17,500 a set price? Is there room for negotiation?
I dream of having another plane. My first was a Warrior and the last of 4 was a B55. Wish I could have seen into the future. I sold the B55 to keep the business going and as it turned out, it was a waste of money. Now, unless I win a lottery, which I never buy a ticket for, my plane owning days are over even though I can do my own maintenance. It was great while it lasted and really miss the freedom of flying. You keep me dreaming though.
My friends family died in a plane like this in March 1984 in Sarasota county…stormy night.
Ugh, very sad ....
you have any other info? There were no fatal Cessna 414 crashes in FL for calendar year 1984? Different model perhaps?
@@buckmurdock2500 All planes look alike!
The engines would still be good for airboats , Those things would have you screaming through the glades.
You should have just gotten that Piper Aerostar. Way faster and cooler than that 414.
Scrap value only. Maybe get money for props, u/c , core of engines ( maybe ) it will have spar corrosion
As Monty Python's knight's said: Run Away...Run Away!
Walk dear Jimmy, walk!
Make America Great Again .I used to work as Security at the Clearwater USCG and At the Clearwater international Airport back in the mid 80's .that looks like our old yard 😊
Motors are good for airboat only.
Junk air plane great video thanks Jimmy and jesse
You can stand on the Aerostars horizontal stab😊
You should see if there is anything on this aircraft which could be of interest to Rebuild Rescue's 401? But I doubt it!
Im 5 mins in and Im already screaming at my phone, Noooo dont do it Jimmy. You have the Kings very expensive, in parts and unfixable jet to work on and pay off. Then from my memory you have at least one if not 2 more aircraft in different states of expensive repair, you really do not need this one. Good luck to you... but you make me nervous for you guys 😂
I'll give you a dollar for the props your sarcasm is hilarious
I used to listen to the ADF on long flights back in the day. I have never flown modern avionics. Moving map? Touch screen? Satellite radio? What is all this? I was in my 40s back when that first aid kit expired. Never fear though, you pooper is artificial vanilla flavor safe.
Hauling freight all night I listened to one of the clear channel AM stations, Dave Nemo and the Open Road Gang trucking channel. Great retro music by Red Slovine, Dave Dudley, etc.
Your out, you are kidding me, Elvis had this one as his standby, I was sure you new that 🙂 I think it featured in most of his films, and I think he wrote about it in his music.
Hey there Jimmy-Boy ! - Have you ever thought of snatching up as many of those free Toasted "Paperweight" Airplanes as possible & doing this :
1. Renting a big Shed/Building.
2. Hauling & Storing the Airplanes there.
3. Get you a bunch of cheap Laptops that will run Microsoft Flight Simulator.
4. Mount the Laptops/Joysticks in a way so anyone sitting in the pilot's seat can operate the Flight Simulators.
5. Get a whole bunch of cheap tools, put them in those Dollar Tree toolboxes & set them right next to each Airplane.
6. Make you up some cheap 'n easy Workbenches & set one next to each Airplane.
7. Buy/Trade/Swap for all the many Parts etc needed for "Restoring" the planes (at least for "Looks" & not Airworthiness).
8. Make you up a big fancy Sign that says something like :
"-Jolly Jimmy's World-
Airplane Museum/Flight Simulator/Restoration Workshops Fun-Park" or say -
"Jimmy's World Aircraft Exploratorium"etc.
9. You could recruit a bunch of your "Aircraft Buddies" to pitch-in, help out & assist.
10. You could then sell tickets for a "Day O' Fun" (weekends) where Families-Dads-Moms-Kids can go & have a fun, entertaining & educational day exploring the Airplanes, practicing at the MS Flight Simulators & learning how to tinker around with installing parts etc on these old Airplanes.
11. You'd be a worldwide Hit & people from all over will swarm over to meet/greet/support you & your great contribution to promoting Private Aviation.
11. Maybe you have already done it. If not, then - Why Not ?
12. Wadda-Ya Think, Pod-Nah ? 🤠
I actually remember Hatchet from middle school (or whenever it was). Maybe that's why I've always owned a good axe in my adult life.
Omg an 414a it's probably the most beautiful aircraft with a piston engine.. not sure
They had a 750, but the airframe was shit. I think the conenentals could have referred for 20k each. Props may have been recertified. Hate to see that one go to the scrap pile love your work
Someone please enlighten me why these engines are so ridiculously expensive. I get they need to keep you alive in the air but what justifies the huge cost on them?
Government regulations mainly anything that is certified is buku bucks
The cost is doubled just to keep the lawyers happy for future litigation costs, and the number of built engines is low compared to automotive demands.
run into the same thing with boat motors
421C golden Eagle ?
First plane I learnt to spanner on
I read the book Hatchet as a child, I was skipping through when I landed on that part in the video, then I watched the video through lol
The avionics inside would be worth $17000…the engine cores, pumps, motors, flight controls, etc would all yield more, in total, than $17500. A salvage yard would treasure this plane because there’s probably three times (or more) value in parts compared to $17500.
Many/most 400 series Cessna twins were scrapped / abandoned due to expensive wing spar AD's. Likely not much of a market for these things any longer.
@@lesterawilson3 There's still a lot of twin Cessna's out there. I have one! There are companies like TAS in Ohio and RAM in Texas that specialize in them
@@eagle2019 Read somewhere that the wing spar AD's retired a lot of Cessna twins prematurely due to the price tag. Not sure how accurate that info was.
Good call.
