Buying The Cheapest Cessna 210 In The World & Flying It 1,000 Miles Home!

We bought a 1964 Cessna 210 for $27,000 and proceeded to fly it 1000 home across the country. This is by far the cheapest Cessna 210 in the country, and one of the cheapest flyable piston single airplanes too! We bought this plane sight unseen after it's been sitting for years on end, for the most part. Will it make it home without any issues? There is a reason this plane was so cheap, you will see in today's video.

If you're in Pecos ever again, borrow the courtesy car and cross I-20 to the north, head west on the frontage road to Bickley and turn north, find the Burrito Depot on the right hand side of the road. Small family owned, very good.

@herkloader34 19 дней назад

Get your mechanic to look over that landing gear really good, especially the truss mounts. Those are notorious for cracks and are expensive to replace. Also, while it's up on jacks, do the Uvalde gear door mod. It basically eliminates the rear gear doors, reduces weight, and drag. No doors extending out into the wind during extension and retraction. For the mod, a clean looking hole hole is cut into the outter, gear doors for the wheel to go through and the door is riveted onto the airframe as a panel. Probably the most popular mod on 210s. Oh, if you get GamiJectors, be careful running those on that older IO-520. It'll run a little hotter than factory with Gamis. Run them a littke richer than what the book recommends and the engine will last well past TBO. I say you got a good (should say lucky) deal if there's little to no corrosion on the airframe and no metal in the oil or filter screen. The D model is a good rugged 210. Strutted Centurions are essentially faster 206s with lots of load hauling capability. When you tuck the gear up and level out in cruise, it'll give you 160 knots at 65% power all day long with that McCauley 3-blade prop. Panel is pretty nice too for it's age. Nice interior too.

@mickdee6590 17 дней назад

@cabdouch 17 дней назад

This one already has the mod, which usually indicates it has had a gear-up landing. I personally hate the Uvalde mod, as well as any mechanic that actually knows 210's. Realize you can tell if it has the mod just by looking at the nose gear doors, they stay open after the nose wheel is down, and add extra drag. Also, the holes at the mains add drag. He said they lose around 20kts with the gear down. I lose 6-8 kts on my L model with the doors. My partner flew for an hour before realizing he had left the gear down. My friend has a 1 Model M with the Uvalde mod and a 40hp more powerful engine. Mine flys faster than his with less fuel burn. He was not a believer until he flew across the country in mine. Paul New and John Efinger are the 2 experts on 210's and both say to never do the Uvalde mod. It doesn't fix anything, it doesn't make the system better. It only hides the fact there is a problem with the system when the doors are gone. If I walk out and see my doors open, I know I have a pressure issue. Once you do the Uvalde mod, you won't know until you try to put the gear up, or down. The N model removed uplocks and the main doors (Cessna adopted the Uvalde Mod), and uses hydraulic pressure to hold the gear up, so it is the simplest system of any 210's, which does equate to less maintenance.

@bobwhite3647 17 дней назад

Removing the gear doors increases drag, loses a few knots. Also doesn't lower weight much or lessen single-point-of-failure much. It is only done because to the uninitiated it looks like a newer model.

The story and tempo matched, so no "long" feeling. The story on this deal was worth the time. Your videos edits are solid, well composed and, your audio is not stupid loud. Curtis Judd says "normalize the audio to -24db" So many videos have loud, music, audio (like 30 db louder than the voice track right before it) for the "cinematic" cuts.

@jeffcox9930 16 дней назад

You guys made me chuckle. Lates 70's as a budding commercial pilot I got about 20 hours in a D model. My favorite Cessna next to the 185. Those days no intercom, no A20's no EFB's and not much complex airspace. I think you guys did a very good deal. Engine is good, prop looks newer, interior and exterior in good shape. Aside from the usual stuff I suspect the only thing that might give you fits is the hydraulics and gear components. For what you paid thats very acceptable risk. BTW thanks for helping me relive my early days of aviation.

@eddiegardner8232 18 дней назад

$27,000 for that plane is a steal. Yeah, it's old and the instrument panel is crude, but $27,000 and it flies. Anything that flies is amazing.

@jarrettleto 17 дней назад

Its honestly what these planes are worth. Ancient panel, landing gear issues, lost log book. I applaud the owner for actually selling it for what its worth so JR can fix it up! When I was looking for a plane there were so many planes like this where the owner would do the old "I know its worth more than that" when referencing the $150k plane with a $80k more expensive panel, full logs, and new paint/interior. I would try to explain to them all the work they would need to do in order to get it to sell for that price and they'd just be stubborn. 2 years later same planes are for sale with only minor price decreases. Either restore the plane, or let it go to a new owner that will. These planes are old now and you basically have to be a caretaker of the plane to keep in in good shape, if it starts sitting or corroding too long the value drops rapidly IMO.

@@jarrettleto You're obviously not a pilot or even remotely savvy with what airplanes cost .... It has a Garmin GPS I. It which used is around 3k.... A Cessna 150 with the same avionics is probably 45k....this was with out a doubt a steal... The cheapest 210 on controller is a older one with way more hours on the engine is 160k with shittier avionics....the log books do hurt it but he could get this thing in annual and could sell it instantly for like 145k.

@richardpeugeot6062 16 дней назад

My father owned a 1976 210L for 35 years. Excellent plane that hauled our family of 5 all over the US. Two suggestions for you. Invest in a shoulder harness installation for at least the two front seats. Also the GAMI fuel injectors were definitely worth the peace of mind and saved $$$ at the fuel pump. We routinely saw 160 knots true on 12.5 GPH at 8,000 to 9,000 msl. The main issue with those 60s model 210s is the gear saddles that tend to crack and lead to gear collapses. Otherwise that should make for an excellent cross country machine!

Been many years since that flight. Shout out to Dave Esio that volunteered his time for instruction.. Amazing guy. I've since had a heart attack and been diagnosed with leukemia so I no longer pass medical, but absolutely loved it and that freedom for the time I had it.

At $27K you guys got an amazing deal on the '64 - Cessna 210. I like the old 210's because they don't have the problematic cantilever wings. I don't mind having the wing struts when I have a retractable gear and a variable pitch 3 blade prop. As for the priority of the instrumentation upgrades, I would go with a new transponder, Aspen Evolution Max 2000 on both sides, and fly it that way for a while.

I would go pretty simple but modern with the mods on the instruments. Ditch the 430 and sell it, people love that thing and you'll probably get some good money for it. Buy a Garmin 650 (ADSB & NAV/COM), GMA 342 because that old audio panel is hard to work, GTX 345 Transponder (ADSB in/out), personally I like the Garmin G5's but the 275's are nice as well, and you might as well just get the GFC500 autopilot because its so easy to operate. Also, the JPI900 engine monitor. Overall, its a little early to judge if its a Great purchase. Engines that don't run a lot tend to hide their problems. I really hope you don't find any.
