Hi Jimmy my name is Chief John C. White, Esq. which means that I’m a lawyer practicing at bar in Alabama. First of all I love your RU-vid videos! I learned to fly in a Beech Musketeer. My law firm brought a 310 and I scared my partners when they discovered that I was flying from the right seat. My senior partner told the other lawyers that I spent the night in a Holiday Inn. I sold my Harley in ‘84 and bought an American Aireolight (sp) XL ultralight and flew it for years. After 32 years as a cop and police chief in Dothan, Alabama, you give me the bug again !

@CanardBoulevard Год назад

You rarely see so much corrosion on an airplane! Looks like that thing was stored outside next to the ocean. It's scrap - walk away!

@alexmikhael5061 Год назад

prolly not scrap for the tiny rebuildable parts for ANY ONE OF THE FIVE 310s he has???? fore or 5 or 7 or wutever.... LOL and it has the ''updates'' ;) or HAD... ;)

@Adierit Год назад

Given that the engines both ran, and had clearly updated parts done to keep it flying it's certainly easier to fix the corrosion on the roof and tail then to waste time yanking the engines and such off to put onto something else that will likely also be corroded.

@helicopterdriver Год назад

@@alexmikhael5061 it seems someone took the conversion engine setup out sold or traded it for the original engines before donation. Maybe there were different levels of upgrades. They flew it in. I remember them but not the options. Either it was in a flood or lived by the ocean and was hit by a few hurricanes. A lot of corrosion.

@jamesnelson7415 Год назад

My question is - are the logs and etc paperwork with it? This was a Riley 65 conversion on an early 310. Jack Riley offered several levels of conversion, the 65 was the "base" mod. It involved underwent exhaust, installation of aux tanks (aux tanks were not offered by Cessna until the 1958 310B), the nacelle conversion, and some additional flush riveting, plus a custom interior and the Riley paint job(which this plane no longer has). The next step up was the Riley 260, which also replaced the 250 HP pressure carb engines with IO470D engines of 260 HP, giving a noticeable increase in performance. The top of the line was the Turbo Rocket, which had the big Lycoming engines, RayJay turbos, and more extensive flush riveting. The Turbo Rocket was capable of 302 mph at altitude! Anyway, if it has the STC paperwork, that distinctive Riley underling exhaust system coulfd, conceivably, be installed on an early 310 which isn't so corroded. This video piqued my interest, and got my juices flowing a bit. I recently decided to offer my 310C for sale, as I have been battling some medical issues. Now I am second guessing that decision. Darn you, Jimmy!

@thunderbolt513 Год назад

Cyclic - yoke on an fixed wing (is used to control the main rotor in order to change the helicopter's direction of movement). The collective (on the left side) changes the pitch angle of all the main rotor blades, therefore its total lift produced by the rotor.😉 And man....the sound from those Continentals is just indescribable.

@nelson_at_sea Год назад

dang, Jimmie, another 310 I may have flown in with my dad. He was a test and delivery pilot for Riley back in the 50s. Sad to see the amount of corrosion. FYI, one of the big changes Riley provided was the one piece windscreen eliminating the center post. And as you said, the rocket conversion....

@AvStevieStevenJamesDrums Год назад

I don’t know about you, I get just as giddy like Jimmy sitting on my couch and yell with him and my family is what the heck? So awesome you got both those engines started Jimmy.

@williambutler2177 Год назад

With the exhaust STC and host of other nice mods this looks like a 310 worth investigating for possible return to flight. Really depends upon the level of corrosion on the main airframe. So I recommend if you disassemble for moving that you do so with the intent to put it back together for flight.

@i.r.wayright1457 Год назад

Next to the 310 is an F-89 Scorpion, then an F-101 Voodoo, Gulfstream II, US Army OV-1 Mohawk, and last is a North American Sabreliner, which used the same wings as an F-86. Hey, I like the way the camera shows the left engine with a two, four or a six blade prop, while running at low RPM.

I just recently looked at a Mohawk in front of an antique store with a friend and his father in law. He was a crew chief for these in Germany before he retired. He showed us lots of interesting features and told us about the types of missions they flew. Mostly surveillance into east Germany during the Cold War. Incredibly interesting if you’re into that type of thing, which I am. Keep up the great content Jimmy.

@P-J-W-777 Год назад

Really miss getting to fly with my grandfather. When I was really young he had an Aztec and Piper. I don’t remember the models but they were twins and that was in the 70’s. From the early 80’s and on he had Cessna 310’s, 340’s 414, 421 all with Ram Conversions. His last were the Beech 300 King Air and Citation X. My very first airplane I flew was the Cessna 340 and the first airplane I took 100% full control was the 414. He had me take off and fly to Oklahoma and land. I continued getting to fly each one with him and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. While the Citation X was awesome and very fast and I loved it my favorite to fly was probably the King Air. He made sure all of his planes had wing boots, heated props and windshield. Even had to replace a windshield once after leaving it turned on for to long accidentally. 4 of them even had full color radar.

@joshuamalloy8078 Год назад

Hey Jimmy! Sure was nice seeing the AH1-F Cobra. I used to do complete rewire on those for foreign military sales. What a job that was! As you sat in the cockpit, I rewired and refurbished that whole area. The entire airframe looked brand new when we were done. Great seeing one again.

@007007niki Год назад

Thanks Jimmy since I can’t do the things you do, I can at least watch you do the things I would love to be able to do. Good luck and fair sky’s to you .

@dougpartington1843 Год назад

Glad you got both engines started. I agree as much as i would like to see it return to the skies, I think the corrosion and the new avionics you need would make it unaffordable. Another great video Jimmy.

Alr so with the Cobra helicopter. When you pull the eject handle the propeller blades actually will get blown off. They have small charges on them that go off when you pull the eject handle so you don't become ground beef.

This brought to mind the (Jack) Riley conversion of some British DH Doves and Herons. The in-line "Gypsy" engines were replaced with Lycoming IO-540's. Lighter, more fuel efficient & more powerful. Some of the Doves also were given a swept-back tail fin that made them look super sexy! Some flew in USA I believe.

While I'm a Beechcraft fan, I'm quite fond of early Cessna 310's, because the first multi-engine aircraft I flew when I started my commercial career back in the early 1980's was a 1955 model 310. It was super high time, had peeling paint, crazed windows, poor heating, almost no interior and still mostly had the old, (sorta functional) original avionics. However, it hauled bags of cancelled checks just fine and I loved every hour I spent in it, despite the long hours flying at night and weather along with the low pay. 👍

Jimmy, it occurs to me that with your volumes of experience, and with all your videos, I am surprised that you do not appear to have a traveling tool kit that has a fly swatter and insect killer, (for the wasps and yellow jackets), pry bars for opening doors and hatches, a cordless screwdriver for undoing screws only, and an assortment of other tools, that you will become aware of as you review your past videos, so you can refresh your memory! Then you can say, yeah I wish I had packed this tool, and then you get it and out it in your tool kit.

@mikebarushok5361 Год назад

Something that is handy for rusty or paint filled screws I found is to buy some #1 Phillips drywall apex bits (Vermont American brand seems to work well) and grind the tip down to have the same flat as a #2 Phillips. There's also an extremely long, narrow shaft, Snap-on #2 Philips screwdriver that has some uncanny screw holding power. I'm retired from working on aircraft. But when I worked at Cessna and at Learjet people used to come get me to try to break screws loose to avoid drilling them out, especially if they were in blind nutplates.

Hey Jimmy, the Riley 65 is for sure a very special 310 and it is a pity to see it in such a bad state, but in my eyes, the airframe is far gone. Part it out an keep other good 310s flying! Or get your silver bullet converted to the nice technical goodies that this one is equipped with....

@cropdusterpilot1937 Год назад

Hi Jimmy, It's been a while since I last sent you a note :) First off the Cobra does not have ejection seats, it has a heating element in the glass that shatters it and you get out that way (after the main rotor stops) :)

i keep seeing you at evergreen in your videos and keep hoping ill meet you there someday. I pass it every day on the way to work and grew up going there. My grandfather actually working in the excact silo and controls they have with the titan missile when he contracted with the titan program through his job at Martin Marrietta. Gave me a passion for planes and space, and seeing someone take these old planes i grew up going to see is amazing

@larryjohnson7591 Год назад

That is the missile I helped launch out of Vandenberg AFB to put DOD satellites into space. After the Challenger exploded, the DOD still needed to get satellites up, so without a Space Shuttle, we designed the Titan IV, which was somewhat (not much), based on the Titan II ICBM.

At one time they attempted ejection seats in helicopters by blowing the rotors off first. But most of the ejection handles ( interchangeable parts) just blew the pods off. Some of the interesting things you could find while working on military aircraft that have seen combat that don't belong in the aircraft but worked to make it fly.

The left “stick” is the collective. It puts more pitch in the rotor when you pull up and takes pitch out (flattens it) when you push down. The “right stick” is the cyclic, and that tips the rotor head in whichever direction you move the cyclic. And no, I don’t know what the red button on the cobra’s collective does. I was only a UH-1 crew chief. Never worked on a cobra. Cobra crew chiefs had one big advantage. They only had to work on the cobra, they didn’t have fly with it when people are trying to shoot you!
