An engine tends to be more fuel efficient at or around full open throttle than at part throttle. At least that's my understanding as an auto mechanic. I think it also deals with how much air is flowing and the throttle plate acts like a choke at partial. The more cool air the better as well.
Will these glasses when you look at fluorescent lights show the kelvin temps? Some flourescents are kinda green ( about 5400k) and some are pinkish some are orangish some are bluish some are purpleish.......
What I love most about this, is the fact that you are having this adventure with your boys! Jimmy’s world is the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory of Aviation!
Sorry about that you are right. Just read the book. Jimmy is all things Willy was not. Dislike Hollywood's version of all things. Apologies accepted???
I'm so glad your encouraging him ... But call me silly I'm old school and Murphy's law will always find you ..a child has NO PLACE putting his hands anywhere except his pockets ...and his peepee if he can remember ....all it takes is one Opps ....
G'day, Good luck with that. Anthropogenic Global Warming means that EITHER Humanity will totally cease to burn Fossil Fuels within 8.5 Years..., OR we will continue to make shit get forever worse - and the Intense Extreme Weather Events will worsen to the point where NO level of EcoGnomic Activity is possible. Either way, if Jimmy's boys are still alive in 10 years, they might be telling a lot of stories about, "When their Father used to take them flying...(!)". But they will NOT be going flying unless they have a Hang Glider and a Hill they can walk it up, before jumping off to glide back down. Change IS afoot. Such is life... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
I agree! Can't help but feel happy for his son getting to grow up with so much exposure above and beyond what many kids get to experience in their lives. Not only will he appreciate being able to do and learn all these things with his Dad but he will have a lifetime of great memories!
Usually, it goes the opposite way: if parents _make_ kid dance or climb mountains - he will eventually come to hating those activities by his puberty age and go as far from those as possible. On the other hand, being close to someone as sneaky and entrepreneurial as Jimmy may lay useful skills that his son would utilize in completely different area.
Gosh this brings back great memories for me. My dad and I was the young eyes to spot traffic. Cherish these times you two. My dad and I still recount stories and can talk the current technologies that have emerged.
Hey Jimmy, love your videos. Awesome you are able to do this with your Son. My wife is still too nervous to take the family. 😉Two way radio communication is all that is required to enter class C airspace. When ATC says your tail number back, you are cleared unless they ATC says standby or otherwise indicates don't enter the airspace.
I’m glad to see a man been a man without getting to serious about that’s what life is all about and thats what your kids will remember about you our dad was a great goofball with a heart of gold👍🏼
Couldn't have said it better. I Hope my daughter appreciated the goofball in me as she was growing up! I tried to keep it light. The wife...not so much!
@@c140flyer if it makes you feel better you can be sure your daughter remembers every moment with you as for your wife let’s just say you are a member of a large club🤣
Cowl screws powered by Bauer and Hobo Freight Tools. "What could go wrong?" Cheap tools rule. Thanks for all you do for the aviation community in your world and thanks for helping out my friends down in SW Fl and all across our great state as we recover from hurricane Ian.
Another great video Jimmy. You and Silas make a great team. I’m glad you are able to share your experiences together. He’s going to make a great pilot.
Invaluable lesson learned, I only use plastic bags, and place them on a table, stool or chair, no tools or hardware rests on plane when working. I dropped a retention nut from a master relay when I had the carpet out of a Bonanza and it went down into the fuselage by the rudder pedals. Took me 3 days of 3-4 hours of work to take out more interior and find it. Lesson learned. Absolutely love your content Jimmy!
I think making Cameron a speed king is interesting. Your idea of taping the gaps was done in unlimited racing in the 1940s and 1950s. Many years ago I read the autobiography of Tony LeVier who was a test pilot (chief pilot I think) for Lockheed during that period. He went into detail about taping seals and joints. I see that you’re planning engine work. Actually I think your limiting factor is the prop. Unless it’s pitched for max rpm at top speed you’re losing efficiency. You need either a fixed pitch tuned that way or you need some type of variable pitch or constant speed prop. You may also want to look at engine cooling drag. You may want to contact the participants of the Reno Air Races. Their “sport plane” builders have already solved the issues that you’re having. I’ve been watching your vids since your first Cherokee 6 vids. I look forward to them. Best of luck to you.
I learnt to fly a low wing DA20 , not a rocket but found it very stable to fly and easy to control. It's no wonder the Canadian air force use them for training.
Love what you are doing. Hope you get that television show. I would watch. Also love the Wings of Compassion to help Veterans and their families, that is fantastic. You should race the 310. Happy birthday to your son. Mine is next week, too. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
You are a very talented metal worker and I look forward to each and every one of your videos. I laugh at your humour and awkwardness - it’s a great combination in my opinion. You have taught me lots, and I am extremely great full. Thank you and keep ‘em coming.
Jimmy, the airframe manufacturer offers a course and when completed, you can do the condition inspection. You probably know that and it's true for every kit plane (that's still in business).
Glad you figured out the gear door gremlin. The sun shield above your head is also sliding off the frame. No biggy but it's not something that you would want falling down on you during a landing. Any distraction is not good. A little dab of CA glue will hold it in place.Silas is a lucky guy getting all of that free instruction!! Did you know that Silas is old enough to fly a glider right now? He certainly has earned it though with the fine job of filming your show. The sideways crabbing is definitely drag from the wing cam.
Jimmy, even though the cowl screws are Stainless, it depends on which type of Stainless, as some are mildly magnetic. There are probably 50 types of alloys that qualify as Stainless. Get a hold of a neodymium or samarium cobalt magnet and attach it to a coat hanger and fish for your screw. A strong magnet can be found in a wide gap door contact for an alarm system. Magnets that are hidden in doors for jamb switches are usually strong too.
Great video! I always enjoy those where you feature the Lancair and seeing you encourage your son in getting involved with aviation. One thing I'd like to point out is that taping string on the front of the canopy isn't going to help. The disturbance from the prop will give you a false indication. The string trick only works on gliders or pushers.
Jimmy it gets a little dicey there clearing the obstacle before 10R there at KHWO isn't it...then the wind loves to play with you before touch down. You'd think that 3255ft would be plenty of runway, but it comes fast. Good to see you at the home airport. I wish I could have been there to shake your hand and touch Cameron myself. Great video sir, and keep them coming.
Jimmy, I noticed a build up of just plain old dirtyness around Cameron's landing gear assembly. I have the same problem on my motorcycles, in places I can't reach to clean well. I use a product called "S-100" that's available at most motorcycle shops to clean those hard to get to places. You can get it in a kit with a hand squeeze pump; but it's much easier to use by just buying the large refill bottles, pouring them into a garden sprayer, pumping it up and just spraying it on the dirty areas. Once you spray it on, you can immediately hose it off, and the area will be clean. Usually, there's no scrubbing required at all. If the crud's really heavy you may have to lightly touch the area with a sponge, parts brush, etc. to break it loose. Also, I'm a notorious cheapskate, so I cut the S-100 by 50% with water to make it go farther. Give it a try, you'll like the results.
@@therealjimmysworld if its not a stainless screw, you can get a magnet one, too but careful because most have really fat heads and you cant get into tight spaces, defeating the purpose. most have lights on the end, too.
Hi Jimmy well done to you in your quest for speed in cameron. I am a pilot who doesnt fly much due to ill health but i will say that sylus your son has a good head on his shoulders. You should really get him in with a good instructor to get him up to scratch ready for his solo. The amount of flying you do is enough to give him the grounding of situational awareness and procedures. I gave my son on his 13th birthday a trial lesson with a flight instructor who taught me. The whole flight was done by my son from start to finish. Good on you Sir Clear prop
Seems like the altitude adjustments is giving both of you ear pressure problems I always have to deal with that. What a great flying little plane! It's as sleek and beautiful as my favorite all time plane the P51D Mustang! Probably don't want to race the P51 tho!
Be careful moving the plug electrodes back and forth as this will fatigue the metal and possibly cause the electrode to depart the plug. Maybe I was taught to be overly conservative but I've been told that you move the electrodes in one direction only to prevent the fatigue on the electrodes.
We used a tape with adhesive on one side that was applied to a 2" wide strip 0.008" thick annealed aluminum... We called it 600 mph tape, and it was used for covering areas that had aerodynamic sealant (PS 870, 1436, etc.) put into some expansion gaps. This was done to enable the aircraft to fly - without allowing the sealant to streak across the plane during it's revenue generating flight... It worked quite well !!! Use a flat piece of flexible plastic to apply the tape onto the plane, (like the body guys use - to apply Bondo)... Some things to know, removing the wax with a rag soaked with alcohol helps the tape to bond to the plane, and using naptha on a rag can help to remove the unwanted adhesive on the plane, that was left behind, from the tape... It might remove paint where it's not bonded very well... Have fun and fly safe!!!
I saw you guys threw those raspberry fig bars from Target in the plane for the trip! I have a 17 month old daughter and she absolutely LOVES those things, the blueberry as well!! Great video boys!
Awesome Jimmy, I dare say the slight sideslip you noted during the flight was most likely due to the drag created by the camera mounted on the wingtip. Love your videos and what you stand for🤟
Hey Jimmy, my dad started me working on airplanes at 9 years old. Boy, do i have some stories to tell. I look back now and they are the funnest thing that happened to me. Didn't understand how serious they were at that time. Still, I wouldn't trade the memories and experiences for anything !
One of my hacks, I've used is to get a metal coat hanger, or wooden dowel, or stick. Put s drop of gel type super glue on the end, then reach down to a dropped stainless screw, bolt, or what ever, hold it to the said. Majic, it come right out.
Silas is becoming quite the aviator! Cool stuff! FWIW, normally aspirated engines in GA airplanes reach 75% power at full throttle at ~7500 density altitude, with HP dropping off above that...
Wow, busy airspace. It amazes me that small things in the stream make a lot of difference in performance. Example is the landing lights on the DC8. Normal Cruz, they were retracted in the wing. The pilots used to extend them before needing them to act as a speed brake. The C182s I'm used to have a Cruz speed of 122 knots. You get a 182rg with the same performing engine, 145 knots. No wonder your go fast tape increases performance.
If you're ever in KCLT, go check out the museum on the field. They've got Capt. Sulley's 320 in the museum!!! Hard to believe they transported that a/c all the way to Charlotte just to display it ;-) Pretty impressive and worth a look if you're ever in the area 🙂
Very cool, Jimmy! It makes sense that, if the camera can make the plane 5 knots slower, closing up all those gaps and making the plane slicker with the tape could also add 3-5 knots. P.S. from one Libra to another, Happy pre-birthday, Silas!
Awesome video! Great flying! Couldn't you have gone Zero G and moved that bolt to a more accessible location? 😆 Amazing aircraft! Maybe not push your Speed Tape 'in to' the gap allowing it to bridge both surfaces separately? I just have a thought that you're not eliminating the gap but filling the gap with a more air-streamed surface in your gap instead ... but a gap nonetheless. IF it were cloth it would bridge the two surfaces tautly (understanding you have some moving surfaces). Thank you! You, too, Silas! 👍
Back in the 1980s I had just failed my first instrument rating check ride and while flying back to the airport we suffered a hole in the right side windshield. (Piper Seneca). On the ground no indication could be found as to what caused the hole. The windshield was patched and the next pilot to fly found the cause. The right propeller had a perfect impression of a screw in the leading edge. At the time I was doing my test at a nearby VOR there was a Tobago also using that VOR above me. Apparently the screw fell from the Tobago, fell into my prop and was then flung through the windshield.
Jimmy, I love your show please keep it up.. Just a small thing that may or may not be the same in the US but regarding your tongue in cheek comment about Isopropyl alcohol. For cleaning I buy 99% IPA not the lower percentages. Anything lower than 99% is also called rubbing alcohol and they add slippy things to it to make it easier to rub on, things like talcum powder. If you have tape pealing off places you've cleaned with rubbing alcohol it might be the talc ;
Hey there Jimmy. To get the screw!! Use a vacuum cleaner and temporarily tape a piece of garden hose on the end of the vacuum hose.... and suck. I used this idea to get a piece of gasket out of engine valve area. Just a thought! 😊 Love your stuff.
I didn't know two goobers could wear a tiny airplane at the same time 😆. You guys make a great team. Hopefully, when the time comes, you and Silas will share videos of Silas going through flight training. Love the videos, keep 'em coming. Stay safe. (Cameron vs. the Silver Bullet vs. the T6)
Jimmy I recall on our Veri Eze super straight clean build speed was basically limited to the prop and the 100hp’s ability to spin it. Rutan told us the prop and engine was pretty much the issue with getting any more speed out of it. Then some crazy guys slapped a jet motor in one. I recall one hangar twin ran a Subaru engine more power and similar prop. He was very very very slightly faster than us talking just a few knots. Crazy story we ended up with a prop Rutan had in his shop down in the desert after a ooopsi event during startup broke the first prop. These were hand carved wood props😳. 75% we typically ran 180ish at 4gph burn rate. We could run faster but the old Lycoming was spinning damn fast to keep up with the plane so rarely ran beyond 70-75% once at altitude.
Jimmy you should design a cap that covers that hole when you're putting the cowl back on. I would probably attach a ribbon to it and tie it to something in the cockpit so you don't forget that it's installed. Should be pretty simple. I'd be happy to draw one and print it. Just get me the dimensions and some detailed pictures.
You know someone with a DA-62 or a Velocity? Those should be somewhat comparable? - in speed and fuelburn - … whatever contender you might find - I’ll probably enjoy the result … thanks for sharing - great entertainment 🖖🏻!
Jimmy,, plastic tubing and vacuum works for me to retrieving stainless screws. Lung suck for small ones or AC vacuum pump for bigger ones. If you can see it and it's not wedged. Long Whataburger straws work good for most.
Wonderful episode Jimmy. Keep up the good work all while having fun. Life can’t get better then this. I would like to see Cameron race a mid to late 70’s Cessna T210 with the upgraded intercooler and wastegates. Most of them do now and make about 310-320hp. They’ve been known to do 200kts in cruise but burn allot more fuel lol. Another fun one while keeping it experimental homebuilt would be the “questair Venture” max speed was rated at 265kts+ and cruise was 240kts 😱
In my RV6 with a Lycoming O360 the only time I use full rich is on departure and when operating at high power settings down low. Otherwise, I lean aggressively, including all ground ops. No fouled plugs ever.

Petition for Jimmy to get a custom Jimmy’s World wrap on Cameron.
What I love most about this, is the fact that you are having this adventure with your boys! Jimmy’s world is the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory of Aviation!

Sorry about that you are right. Just read the book. Jimmy is all things Willy was not. Dislike Hollywood's version of all things. Apologies accepted???
Jimmy, nothing better than flying with your son! He's your spittin' image of you! These are times he will cherish forever. Your a Great dad!
I love seeing you work and fly with your son. He’s going to be one heck of a pilot.
I'm so glad your encouraging him ... But call me silly I'm old school and Murphy's law will always find you ..a child has NO PLACE putting his hands anywhere except his pockets ...and his peepee if he can remember ....all it takes is one Opps ....
I agree. Love seeing parents get their kinds involved in things like aviation or working on old cars or any hobby and hands on projects.
G'day,
Good luck with that.
Anthropogenic Global Warming means that EITHER Humanity will totally cease to burn Fossil Fuels within 8.5 Years..., OR we will continue to make shit get forever worse - and the Intense Extreme Weather Events will worsen to the point where NO level of EcoGnomic Activity is possible.
Either way, if Jimmy's boys are still alive in 10 years, they might be telling a lot of stories about,
"When their Father used to take them flying...(!)".
But they will NOT be going flying unless they have a Hang Glider and a Hill they can walk it up, before jumping off to glide back down.
Change IS afoot.
Such is life...

You and your kid saying "clear prop", the best part of the vid. Legacy moments.
That looked like a pretty sporty approach. The Lance is definitely a beautiful aircraft for sure and slick.
Lancairs are pretty dicey on approach speeds. They land fast.or drop like a rock if you try to land slow.

I could be wrong, but changing to Dzus fasteners would be high on my Priority List on any airplane cowling.
Silas is becoming quite the aviator! Cool stuff!
FWIW, normally aspirated engines in GA airplanes reach 75% power at full throttle at ~7500 density altitude, with HP dropping off above that...
Wow, busy airspace.
It amazes me that small things in the stream make a lot of difference in performance. Example is the landing lights on the DC8. Normal Cruz, they were retracted in the wing. The pilots used to extend them before needing them to act as a speed brake.
The C182s I'm used to have a Cruz speed of 122 knots. You get a 182rg with the same performing engine, 145 knots. No wonder your go fast tape increases performance.
If you're ever in KCLT, go check out the museum on the field. They've got Capt. Sulley's 320 in the museum!!!
Hard to believe they transported that a/c all the way to Charlotte just to display it ;-)
Pretty impressive and worth a look if you're ever in the area 🙂
Happy Birthday Silas!
Jimmy Silas is a carbon copy of you. You can never deny that one!! Lol. Love how you guys do so much together!!
Hi Use air pressure to get the part out
Very cool, Jimmy! It makes sense that, if the camera can make the plane 5 knots slower, closing up all those gaps and making the plane slicker with the tape could also add 3-5 knots.
P.S. from one Libra to another, Happy pre-birthday, Silas!
Awesome video! Great flying! Couldn't you have gone Zero G and moved that bolt to a more accessible location? 😆 Amazing aircraft! Maybe not push your Speed Tape 'in to' the gap allowing it to bridge both surfaces separately? I just have a thought that you're not eliminating the gap but filling the gap with a more air-streamed surface in your gap instead ... but a gap nonetheless. IF it were cloth it would bridge the two surfaces tautly (understanding you have some moving surfaces). Thank you! You, too, Silas! 👍
After watching enough of these videos of yours with your Lance-Air It sounds like it's a Porsche with wings instead of wheels.☺️
Back in the 1980s I had just failed my first instrument rating check ride and while flying back to the airport we suffered a hole in the right side windshield. (Piper Seneca). On the ground no indication could be found as to what caused the hole. The windshield was patched and the next pilot to fly found the cause. The right propeller had a perfect impression of a screw in the leading edge. At the time I was doing my test at a nearby VOR there was a Tobago also using that VOR above me. Apparently the screw fell from the Tobago, fell into my prop and was then flung through the windshield.
8000 hours is like 4 years in full time job.
Byron was very committed to the cause of building a fine aircraft.
All ya need is a couple 50 caliber machine guns on that thing! 😂😂
Jimmy, I love your show please keep it up.. Just a small thing that may or may not be the same in the US but regarding your tongue in cheek comment about Isopropyl alcohol. For cleaning I buy 99% IPA not the lower percentages. Anything lower than 99% is also called rubbing alcohol and they add slippy things to it to make it easier to rub on, things like talcum powder. If you have tape pealing off places you've cleaned with rubbing alcohol it might be the talc ;
Cameron is a awesome four cylinder plane engine. Its cool to see your son flying with you he's is lucky to have a dad that can fly air planes.😊
yeah it's an engine with a built in plane along for the ride.
Another T-shirt. "KICK THE TIRE, LIGHT THE FIRE."
Hey there Jimmy. To get the screw!! Use a vacuum cleaner and temporarily tape a piece of garden hose on the end of the vacuum hose.... and suck. I used this idea to get a piece of gasket out of engine valve area. Just a thought! 😊
Love your stuff.
I didn't know two goobers could wear a tiny airplane at the same time 😆. You guys make a great team. Hopefully, when the time comes, you and Silas will share videos of Silas going through flight training. Love the videos, keep 'em coming. Stay safe. (Cameron vs. the Silver Bullet vs. the T6)
Jimmy I recall on our Veri Eze super straight clean build speed was basically limited to the prop and the 100hp’s ability to spin it. Rutan told us the prop and engine was pretty much the issue with getting any more speed out of it. Then some crazy guys slapped a jet motor in one.
I recall one hangar twin ran a Subaru engine more power and similar prop. He was very very very slightly faster than us talking just a few knots.
Crazy story we ended up with a prop Rutan had in his shop down in the desert after a ooopsi event during startup broke the first prop. These were hand carved wood props😳.
75% we typically ran 180ish at 4gph burn rate. We could run faster but the old Lycoming was spinning damn fast to keep up with the plane so rarely ran beyond 70-75% once at altitude.
Strange - I'm sitting still on the ground watching this video and I keep needing to clear my ears.
Jon, LMAO......
watching you get to do this with kind of stuff with your kid is just good stuff man :)
Jimmy you should design a cap that covers that hole when you're putting the cowl back on. I would probably attach a ribbon to it and tie it to something in the cockpit so you don't forget that it's installed. Should be pretty simple. I'd be happy to draw one and print it. Just get me the dimensions and some detailed pictures.
You know someone with a DA-62 or a Velocity? Those should be somewhat comparable? - in speed and fuelburn - … whatever contender you might find - I’ll probably enjoy the result … thanks for sharing - great entertainment 🖖🏻!
Another great video. Great to get Silas to help and Future Happy Birthday.
I just love the father/son "Clear Prop". Memories for a lifetime.
Jimmy,, plastic tubing and vacuum works for me to retrieving stainless screws. Lung suck for small ones or AC vacuum pump for bigger ones. If you can see it and it's not wedged. Long Whataburger straws work good for most.
Damn Cameron is fast! 200 knots is pretty good for a single engine. Glad to see you brought Junior with you. Great memories. 👍
Petition for Jimmy to get a custom Jimmy’s World wrap on Cameron.
That would look awesome. Great idea. Plain white is a bit boring for such a sporty plane.
It's so awesome the way your son is taken after you my son tried to but my business was too hard on the body I wouldn't allow it
Wonderful episode Jimmy. Keep up the good work all while having fun. Life can’t get better then this. I would like to see Cameron race a mid to late 70’s Cessna T210 with the upgraded intercooler and wastegates. Most of them do now and make about 310-320hp. They’ve been known to do 200kts in cruise but burn allot more fuel lol. Another fun one while keeping it experimental homebuilt would be the “questair Venture” max speed was rated at 265kts+ and cruise was 240kts 😱
I use a shop vac with a very small nozzle to get stuff out of tiny places It pays to have extra bolts and screws that are always getting lost too
Nice video guys! I would love to see Cameron vs a 915is vl3 !
I know this is an older post, the easiest screw retriever is a dowel with either gell type cyanoacrylate or 5 min epoxy on the pickup end.
The lancair is a slick as snot little plane covering those gaps helps tremendously the one i flew in had tape as well
Hope you are have a blessed day today jimmy
Your son needs a nice pair of sunglasses. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
In my RV6 with a Lycoming O360 the only time I use full rich is on departure and when operating at high power settings down low. Otherwise, I lean aggressively, including all ground ops. No fouled plugs ever.
Love what u do getting kids involved
Hello from Minnesota!! Great episode!! Hard to beat flying with the kid!!
Lancair originated in Redmond Or just a few miles from me...always was a great looking aircraft. That airport
has an interesting WW2 history.
