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!
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")
Dont walk away from that plane, run!
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
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
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.
I like how your knowledge has increased since the first 310 video!
Good morning Jimmy!!!!! Best way to start the day! Jimmy’s World! Yeah!❤😂🎉
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 think I would pass on that one. The owner needs to pay somebody to haul it away lol.
The owner probably died years ago.
The Mountain Dew has altered Jimmy’s thinking 🤣😆
I have not even seen the video - but yes the deal was too good to be true 🤣
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.
😂😅😊😮
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.
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.
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 !
It’s amazing to me that you can find so much flying
how about the 401 from rebuild rescue....maybe the interior fits?
Dont walk-RUN from that plane, Jimmy !!!!
That would make a good song, "Run, Jimmy, Run!"
And scream like a girl!
that would be a cool competition of projects with the Rebuild Rescue channel, who else would want to see that?
Keep the great content coming we love you in the uk
This will be the ultimate Will It start🤣🤣🤣
Engines have core value, which may be surprising because of the Conti frem exchange policy.
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 did read that story! Great read. I read to my son while he was going to sleep. Fun story.
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
Motors are good for airboat only.
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.
Jimmy, I hope that you are having fun with all of these stressful airplanes. Lol
The engines would still be good for airboats , Those things would have you screaming through the glades.
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 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.
That is incredible that you got to sit in one. The SR 71 is bad ass. Congrats.
This is my favourite UA-cam channel - I love watching your video's
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..
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.
Hatchet is the first book I can remember reading and enjoying. Lol
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.
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
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.
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.
I'll give you a dollar for the props your sarcasm is hilarious
421C golden Eagle ?
First plane I learnt to spanner on
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
Yes, I'm glad you decided not to buy it, Jimmy. Yes, that's the best decision you could do with that Sessna.
Never seen a mockingbird nest in a place like that. Not a good idea 'to kill a mockingbird' though.
Dude! You can't do a 400 series Cessna! I think Jason from Rebuild Rescue has a lock on those!!! 🤣
Walk dear Jimmy, walk!
Junk air plane great video thanks Jimmy and jesse
perfect for rebuild rescue!!
Only if they can find another parts plane in Holland! 😁
@@Acelachaser1965 LOL
Don't walk away from this gem. *RUN, RUN, RUN* away from it.
Jimmy had to bring out the big gun for that little bird.
Never fails to amaze me how planes like this can be just left to turn to crap.
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.
*too
Jimmy...with age/experience comes wisdom! Nice to see this becoming a constant reality for you brother...
Without the floor panels, the cabin is roomier. Fact.
Maybe put a skylight in the plane too....
@@ClearedAsFiled and some suitably placed mirrors?
@@johnnunn8688 OMG... LMAO
Those propellers are called q tip propellers. They help with noise. Not bent from accident.
Run, don’t walk away from this one.
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.
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 ? 🤠
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
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
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
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!!
The bird was saying "silly human, this plane will never fly"
I really like the look of the center clock in the Mercedes.
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?
Jims flying circus? Youre gonna collect them all!
Jimmy, if that is an older GTN 750 (not an Xi) then it's only worth around $3000. The GTN 750Xi is $15K.
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
It's a real shame to see that plane in such rough shape. 1500 hours in 400 series Cessna's and they'll always have a fond place in my heart. Wonderful planes and one of the most honest airframes I've ever flown. I can't count the number of times Cessna engineering saved my inexperienced butt :)
MY FAVORITE.
The water cooled 414 were very nice, but didn't catch on. 🤔 I've got time in one.
@@hotrodray6802 Damn, that's a pretty rare bird. Very cool that you got experience what RAM was trying to do with that motor
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 😊
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
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.
You should have just gotten that Piper Aerostar. Way faster and cooler than that 414.
Good call.
Hatchet! Gary Paulsen. Haven’t thought about that in years. My fourth grade teacher gave me that book, I couldn’t put it down.
Let's buy it ! We can spend 1.7 million and get it started 🙂
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
You should see if there is anything on this aircraft which could be of interest to Rebuild Rescue's 401? But I doubt it!
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.
Mr. Hahn
Make the elvis jet into a trailer then take that ….uh…..plane and chop it up and make the cockpit section and part of the cabin into a TOW VEHICLE for the elvis trailer….it might be cheaper…🙄
Jason from Rebuild Rescue may need that interior.
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.
if those engines weren't so expensive it would be cool to put one in a car or motorcycle like the old days. build a tank racer or something like that.
Rebuild rescue is restoring airplanes from just the corrosion alone 🤣🤣🤣
"FLORIDA: the world home of corrosion, where it all starts" 😂😂😂😂😂
Just spent $250000 on the Elvis lemon. Wouldn't worry about $17000, ....
For a parts doner I would buy it, esp with the avionics if they dont mty it out first b4 you get back to it also transport might outdo the profit available - Good luck Jimmy
sounds a little like " Breath " that was film in BC
Better keep your hands off the engines. They both scream for a shock loading inspection. New props, missing components both sides etc..... looks difficult to make profit. But if you only calculate with components of the aircraft and loose parts (price of the plane17.500$) ..... perhaps!? Getting the plane airworthy again exceeds the possible selling price imo. (look to Rebuild Rescue project for example)
Use it as a learning tool for future aircraft mechanics and Air frame too. They can practice drilling out fasteners and filling holes
Ok....here we go again....
" save they 414 "
Keep away from this plane......run Jimmy.....run ....!!!!!
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 😂
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…
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
