2 Airplane Barn Find! 11 years sitting... What could go wrong... 

This channel is flush with entertainment and poor adult monetary decisions. It's frankly perfect for me.

The Chevy Monte Carlo in the hangar also looked great.

I’m glad you had adult supervision along with you.

Jimmy, regarding your Bonanza cylinder walls, they are channel chromed and look good from what I saw. What you saw as "crazing" is the normal, intended, chrome channeling, necessarily done for proper lubrication. Chromed cylinders are indicated by orange paint on the cylinder base or somewhere on the cylinder fins. The red paint was probably considered close enough to orange. Also, the fact that they are chromed, explains the absence of rust you mentioned at 22:49.

If you never make another plane fly, you’re a success as a Dad! (But I sure enjoy your videos!)

Jimmy, you and your son are so much alike and so glad you take him with you as much as you do. You are making memories with that young man that he will talk about with his kids and so on. God Bless you brother, love your video's and can not wait for the next one. HOOAH!!!

What I like is that you are teaching your kids about your love for planes.

Never change Jimmy, your one of a kind. Great show thanks

Dude, you have a problem. And I love it!

Im noticing that lil Jimmy has become a awesome camera man!

The Chevy Monte Carlo is sweet

The AD on Bonanza wing spar carry-through structures applies only to 1957 H models and later, not to the C35 in question, so you should be good to go in that regard, barring unseen corrosion. Also, the E185 engine in C35s is rated at 205 HP. The electric prop is not subject to an AD, but removal and bearing lubrication is required at 200 hours IIRCC. That one has been upgraded with a solid state constant speed controller, an aftermarket modification available in the 1960s, as indicated by the dial for low-high rpm in addition to the toggle switch for prop pitch control. The aux tank behind the back seat could be either 10 or 20 gallons. The bladders Gor the main tanks might be OK, but will probably need replacement after sitting so long without fuel. Their longevity varies with the manufacturer, sometimes Uniroyal, Goodyear or a few others. BTW, on the later Bonanzas, the spar AD requires a visual inspection inside the cabin, sometimes a dye-penetrant or eddy current inspection, and allows cracks up to a certain length to be stop-drilled. Beech also offers a beef-up kit for the spar center section that can be installed if one fails the inspection. That AD is repetitive, requiring inspection every 500 hours (I think, may be 300 hours, don't recall offhand), but it doesn't apply to the C35. Good luck!

I lost it at “Every time I go near this thing I cough constantly.” Jimmy, you’re right up there with Leno. Keep it up.

Channel chrome cylinders have a spider web cracking on the cylinder finish. At 21:22 all three cylinders look to have the base of the cylinders painted orange, which indicates chrome cylinders.

This is quickly becoming one of my fave RU-vid channels. Keep it up, Pastor Jim!

With a V-tail Bonanza, it's now more like, "You buy a set of magnesium control surfaces, and you get an airplane included for free."

At what point do we pivot from Save the 310 to Save Jimmy from making crazy aircraft purchases? :)

The Champ is a go and the Bonanza scares the snot out of me, like an old Vincent Price movie, 😝 !

Jimmy, you are a Wild-Man! I also am an entrepreneur as well; we have done the window cleaning on this very hanger! The owner is a very sweet lady, I understand her husband was an engineer, he passed a couple years ago. I will keep this location hush-hush, i would love to see how this works out, we will be watching your future videos. You really know your way around the equipment!

That Bonanza looks really nice! I love the V-Tails.

I am absolutely amazed how the Champ and the V-Tail are already 70-75 years old. I’m words SEVENTY. The design is still so cool and modern and I really can not believe how less aviation design developed in the last 80 years. Beautiful to see these old ladies still being loved and cared.

JImmy, your channel has fast become one of my favorites. I wish I lived closer - I'd volunteer to help you bring some of these great finds back to life.

Jimmy please use sound cancelation for your flight film. You can get the background noise out of your flight film. Please and thank you 😊

"PASTOR JIM! - We need a little help over here!! " 😁😁😂😂🤣🤣👍👍👍

Your son is going to remember this stuff for the rest of his life. Good Job Dad! Awesome Channel!!

Jimmy is a great guy all round. The son must be so proud of his Dad! Memories are made of these!

Me and my grandpa flew from Atlanta area up to Knoxville to pick up a 65 hp Continental for an A-champ. Took the back seats out of a 182 and away we went. Good memories. I’d love to have a champ.

I like the Dreamsicle in the garage..looks pretty well kept for a smaller old plane..

Love this channel. Always look forward to new videos. Thanks Jimmy !

Those airport communities are wild! It looks crazy just taxing down a residential street.

Hey jimmy , you always cheer me up ...with the way you are . Thank you .......

Look like someone really loved and cared for these planes!

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy.... that champ is absolutely the coolest plane you've found yet have one like this at my local airport love the champ

Ah, the '152 C model Bonanza - my brother's 1st Bo, his had an E-225 engine (basically the same, just rated at higher HP). Our mechanic also has a C model, with the E-185 (currently apart/storage). Yeah, the electric prop gov was unusual. he had that thing for about 7 yrs, got it all dialed up, had the engine OH, brand-new STEC-30 A/P and Aspen panel installed, then sold it, got his '65 Debonair with the IO-520, just added tip tanks last year. I love the Citabria's! Although, the models I like have an electrical system and metal-spar/wings. I almost bought a restored 7-ECA (with factory metal replacement wings) a few years ago, but it was in VT at the time, in Jan, and every time I could get there to check it out it was like -20 degrees and 30 kt winds...So I missed it...LOL, great video!

That Champ is awesome. For Saturday afternoon fun flying there is nothing better and never will be. Take the doors off and go spy on your neighbors. Great 👍

What a great young man you have there to help you out. Excellent experience for him, way to go dad.

Your son’s expression of your landing was awesome!!

Cool to see the old Champ. My Dad learned to fly in one.

You have the ability to keep me completely engaged as you go through the technical aspects from all the important airplane components. I catch myself speaking ahead to make sure to look at something...Love the 310 and grew up with Sky King and Penny.

Just shows what a difference well ventilated storage makes. Good roof.

I'm actually learning to fly a 1946 Aeronca Champ, so it's very cool to see another one!

Another great video. You two quite the team! That young man is a great sidekick! I hope you guys get the deal. I am learning so much and enjoying the ride here in your world! We supported the 310 so we could be part of your team in some way. It would delight us to meet you one day and fly with you in one of your birds!

I`ve gotten to where I cannot wait for another installment. My favorite. Keep up the great content buddy...Cheers from chilly Wyoming

Great video! Your RU-vid channel is coming along great! My grandpa showed me how to repair wings like your Champ - I wish I could help.

as a kid i worked at the factory in the summers in Osceola..doing medial tasks but getting to hang around the production line on how the Champ's were produced...great plane if maintained correctly

All I can say is your kid is one lucky kid. I would have loved to been able to go flying like he has pretty much when he want to

My first ride in an airplane was in a Bonanza V-35, my best friend's dad owned one... that's something I'll never forget, it made my entire years...lol

Wow, that Champ is a beautiful aeroplane! Love the livery!

This brings back memories of flying with my father. Great content.

Thanks for a new upload Jimmy! Anyone have any abandoned equipment in Va let me know. Your wife has got to be the best . I like how the expense is the first sum of the equation and the whole life thingy secondary...

IIRC, from my days of working on Barons and Bonanzas, that spar inspection is done after taking out the seats. Spar is directly under the seats. Either way, those airplanes look really nice at first glance.

LOL! 'Moon River'... that's such an old and appropriate joke.

The `first powered aircraft I flew was a 100hp Champion Citabria and went solo after just over 5 hours, then went on to do some aerobatics with my instructor not long after I went solo. The next tail dragger I flew was a North American T6 Harvard (Texan) with the New Zealand Airforce and did 146 hours in a combination of all of 18 we had on the line, most of which are still flying somewhere in New Zealand or Australia.

Another great one. Thanks

Jimmy, I think you can flip two to planes very easy. They look solid, with little things to do. Hope you can buy it.

Love your videos. I know nothing about planes and found your channel when I went down a rabbit hole! 🤣 I am totally intrigued and can’t stop watching. Very interesting.

Love this channel Jimmy, Respect from England.

I hope Jimmy’s World has the longevity of “The Curse of Oak Island.” Going on 10 Seasons and they still haven’t found anything worthwhile. Meanwhile, with almost the same level of investment, Jimmy keeps finding cursed airplanes and converting THEM to treasure!

I really enjoy your videos Jimmy. Please make more of them. Thank you for this one. My grandfather was a private pilot and I flew with him till he quit flying. Good memories. 15k for the big plane and 7k for the little yellow one.

I like the champ!!!!! Jimmy and Mini Me, y'all ROCK!! GOOD LUCK on the planes!!!🤞🤞

A champ would be such a cool old plane to own. I have a radio Control model champ and would like to have the full size version!! I can't wait to see it running!

Great show James...Thanks

Jimmy, Im a loyal viewer and each time I watch your video with lots of enthusiasm. Thank you so much for all effort into editing and sharing your adevnture! AWESOME! Cheers mate.

Get the Champ!!!! Love it, looks nice paint, engine part are "reasonable". Wing spars will need inspected and possible deal breaker.

Your subscriber count has jumped a few thousand in a couple of days, great to see it climbing so quickly. Love your work. 👍👍

Good job Silas!

As one once said: "You'll never grow up" 🤣 Love the airplane fixing and giving them new life 🤘

Woohoo, brew in hand and settling in Jimmy.

hello Jimy, I'm happy to watch your videos, you're a good and simple master,

7k for the Champ with it being 11 years out of annual and the issues you mentioned. The Bonanza is a run as fast as you can away. Way to many unknowns without a through inspection by an A&P with I.

I also like the way the Stratux is mounted in your Lancair. I am going to duplicate that on my Ercoupe!

Always love the Bonanza. Total novice on what it costs / takes. Love the “buy a plane or an engine” analogy 👍🏻. So interesting watching your activities Jimmy!

Good luck, hope you get it.

I found this channel by accident and have no idea about airplanes but damn - your videos are entertaining as hell. Keep it up. I love it! Many greetings from Germany

So glad you're doing up a Beechcraft Bonanza! When you had to scrap the barn find (more field fiend) one I almost cried! One of my favourite planes! Love your show Jimmy!

for some reason this channel reminds me of the grand tour, doing crazy expensive decisions lol, love it.

Gosh for some reason you just get jealous. What a amazing day to go flying with ur dad having fun. Great video duuuuuuude :)

Hi Jimmy, a great way to enjoy a Subday evening as always. I would happily buy that Champ. It looks tidy. Plenty of lazy fun. Just up my street. As for the Bonanza, it really looks as though it was cared for but I am not sure. I would want to know more about the AD first and make the sale contingent on the spar being fit. I am still smiling about the Champ.

I hope you get these two planes! Some aviation history for sure.

I love to fly and this channel helps me keep up to date on a lot of stuff! Taking the Lancair out with the son! Cool!!!

I'd pass on the "Doctor Killer", too much of a risk with the engine and the main spar not to mention the magnesium - IMO. I love the Champ, she's a sweet, low and slow, ride on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I've been watching your videos from the very start of your channel I'm really enjoying it I'm hoping to take my flying lessons at the start of next year

Love the channel can’t wait to see new videos come out Keep up the great work Keep saving planes John Australia

Great program.

Heck with the planes, look at that Monte Carlo!

I mentioned your channel in rebuild rescue comment section. He commented back saying he's hoping to do a collaboration with you. Please do! 😊

When I decided to take Flying Lessons early 1990's The instructor had use of a '46 Champ. Told me If I could learn to fly it I could fly anything! Loved that plane.

awesome jimmy luv ya work very very interesting .. big thumbs up

Lol at Jimmy and the flying noises..lol

" Make the world more beautiful, save a Airplane"!.

Jimmy keep up the good work 🙂

We owned a K35 for a few years. 150knots on 12gph. Oh and it had tip tanks for 8 hour endurance with a gross weight increase! I miss that bird!

Your explanation on how to swing the prop on the Champ was hilarious! I was laughing so hard my wife looked at me and said what in the world is wrong with you?! I said it’s just Jimmy🤣

Yes buy them I would love to too see that Bonanza fly again!!

Omg! Ive been interested in flying for quite a while and Id love a little champ that plane looks so cute haha!

Very easy fix, external CD Drive. I have used many of them, and they work perfect. Dude, I love your videos!!

I love that 'mini me' had a book with him.

Hey Jimmy. I love your videos. One suggestion, which I no doubt know you know -- just because the cylinders look okay, the real danger is with corrosion down inside the cam, lifters, etc. If the engine has sat that long, you really need to get a look deep inside to know if it's really any good. Safety first and all that.

The bonanza and the 310 are the same colors! That's a good omen!

I want the Champ, and the 1974 Monte Carlo! Good luck.
