Part 2 of the $10,000 Piper Cherokee 180 rebuild series! We bought this 1962 airplane sight unseen online for dirt cheap and proceeded to fly it home with a ferry permit. Now we need to do an annual inspection to get this plane airworthy and ready for flight training. Will is be an easy inspection or are there problems lurking? After the annual, the plane takes off for the first test flight, and boy was that a beautiful sight!

@michaelhurst506 23 дня назад

Given the ferry flight, the passing of the annual with relatively low expenses, you didn't get at good deal, you got a FANTASTIC deal!!! I once bought a 1969 Arrow 28R201 in 1984 with its engine pulled to pieces (only 1200 hrs though), non-working radios, VFR avionics, trash paint and interior, etc., abandoned and bought on a mechanic's and airport lien (same entity). Eventually got the engine rebuilt including accessories, prop recertified, avionics updated and certified to IFR, interior upholstery redone, full stripping and repainting, and finally airworthy and signed off on everything. I think you and the viewers know where this is going.........Totally jealous.....I had NO idea of what I was getting into.....anyone thinking of getting into this kind of thing needs to see your channel..... My initial $10K required $15K for the makeover or $25K in 1984-85 which would be the same as $25K in 2024 blowing up to $73K in today's dollars.

I began my career in aviation in Syracuse, N.Y. in 1966 flying all makes of new pipers. The Piper-180 was a favorite to fly. The aircraft shown looks more like a Cherokee -160 (160 hp). There all very good Pipers and I liked them all. (86 year old ATP, CFI, 15000 hours)

@AlexIsModded 23 дня назад

I really like the style of the current paint job, and would love to see this exact paint job stripped and redone because with fresh paint it will look so nice. The stripes are so iconic of all the Cherokee planes, and this one's stripes are so good. Perfect color balance and in general very pretty.

@sarahdell4042 23 дня назад

Rocking 87 octane in that poor v12 😂

@djwilliams4714 23 дня назад

YES Two videos one week!!!

@anthonyblacker8471 23 дня назад

The plane looks like it was really well taken care of. That's a great find.. what a joy to do an owner annual as well, so much to learn AND get to know your aircraft as well. Now you are truly one with your machine. Great!!

@dadlovestofish 23 дня назад

Love the process with this plane. I'm not a pilot but my son is, and we fly as much as possible when he's home from USAFA. His dream after flying for the AF is to own his own plane for recreational use. You guy's prove he can do that sooner than later. Great job! Can't wait till the next video!

@DonRobinson-le6qp 23 дня назад

I'm so glad I found your channel about a month ago. This is so refreshing and exciting to watch. I'm a retired Army UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter pilot as I've said before. I'm retiring for good in two years at 62 and I plan on having my pilots license by then and the Cherokee seems like a good but fairly basic aircraft to fly and maintain on a budget. I've never been in or flown in a small aircraft but I'm so hyped to make this a reality. Not sure how the transition from a Blackhawk to a Cherokee will be, but I'm looking forward to the challenge!! Thanks guys for this amazing channel you have created

@JRAviation 23 дня назад

Wow, thank you for the nice comment. That is so cool that you fly Blackhawks, I’m sure the transition for you will not be difficult. Really appreciate you watching all our videos!

@Ryanmason96 22 дня назад

I think it’s so cool you & your brother are into this & go into this together

@jakereil4027 23 дня назад

Yes Jeff thank you! Love this channel!

@reyesben 23 дня назад

Nice haircut. I was praying for you to get one. Love the videos thanks

@LockinProfits 23 дня назад

Thought the same 😂

@kmg501 23 дня назад

Woohoo! Video time.

@WazzaOz 22 дня назад

That was an awesome buy... well done...

@vivianrotunda1587 14 дней назад

You might also check into the "F" modification for Marvel Schebler carburetors. The "F" modification replaces any fragile copper, composite or plastic float with a bullet proof "blue epoxy" float having stainless steel arms and pin. I have personally experienced two sunken floats in two different airplanes, which nearly caused off-airport landings in both cases. I'm an A&P IA but not sure why more A&P's don't understand how important the "F" carburetor revision is to flight safety.

@jonfelty6063 23 дня назад

Great video adventure! You make great buys! I admire your judgement! Look forward to the flight home!

@duanekauffman1818 22 дня назад

I stop looking at barnstormers for one month and you found the plane I was looking for!!!! Ugh……….good job!!!!!!

@antonioportelli1002 23 дня назад

Excellent video as always!! Glad to see everything went well!!

@JRAviation 23 дня назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@MarkSnop 18 дней назад

that was a great video you guys! I feel like I’m right there alongside of you. Thanks for bringing me along.

@danmcburney3247 23 дня назад

I wouldn't paint it.... you got a great deal on it but it's just a Cherokee !! You're absolutely right about 50 of them or one 182 👍 The haircut looks soo much better 😁 I'm 62 from Iowa and have been flying 46 year's.... I still think you should sell me the Zenith 😅

@DocPRSGuitarBlues 23 дня назад

Another very enjoyable video. You guys got a smoking deal on that Cherokee and what a great platform for training. Keep up the great work with the “garage” and “aviation” channels.

@JRAviation 23 дня назад

Thank you!!

@aviationkphx2599 23 дня назад

I saw the Cherokee at KSDL May 27th looked pretty good for the price!

@TacosTuesdays 23 дня назад

Its time for a repaint! She deserves it!

@brandonbman5921 23 дня назад

Maximize your ROI. Paint correct it, re-pinstripe it and spruce up the interior a bit. Then move that sucker down the road for what? 3x, 4x what you have in it.

@adriennefoley2906 23 дня назад

Great video ….always awesome to see Christian ☺️

My Grandmother worked at Lycoming in Williamsport during WW 2.

@charlietabone6162 22 дня назад

That plane is a beauty. If that was mine I’d wash it polish it touch it up where it needs and that’s it mate. Keep it a cheap plane. Well done boys

@Metabo1950 23 дня назад

The Cherokee with the Hershey Bar wing is one of the safest planes you can fly.

@nitroneal414 22 дня назад

That was a great score

@terryschima4964 23 дня назад

You guys are so lucky 🍀!

@smokingspitfire1197 22 дня назад

Thanks for the shout on EarthX batteries, I’m going to be adding one to my PA-24-260B next annual. With so many electrical systems on my airplane I never look over electrical upgrades!

@letsfly72x 23 дня назад

Another nice video ✈️

@jeffwalker7640 22 дня назад

Great video as usual!

@jerryn8333 23 дня назад

Love it. I swear every new video makes me want to go buy a plane LOL. I think I won't be able to resist the urge to buy a Bonanza much longer ive watched that build series probably a dozen times.

@Durandalski 23 дня назад

Polished aluminum is a bear to maintain, strip and repaint is the way to go. A snazzy modern paint job could really boost the sales appeal.

@ericbitzer5247 8 дней назад

No, paint it exactly the way it is. I don't like (snazzy) paint jobs on planes. I love the classic look when they looked cool.

@fishhead90 20 дней назад

14:17 again?!😂 I legit had to look away 😂

@DR-jq9bg 22 дня назад

You guys are AMAZING in what you accomplish! 10k for a 180 is so awesome. Please enter me in the giveaway when it happens (yes, I'll keep a lookout for it)!

@ericbitzer5247 8 дней назад

YES! REPAINT FRESH EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS!!!

@claydog6422 23 дня назад

Re-Paint!!! And do a massive interior makeover

@wayne9638 21 день назад

awesome video, you guys are my heroes

@rvrnnr987 22 дня назад

Good stuff! I'm liking your aviation videos more and more. One of these days I need to find a deal like this Cherokee to give to the high school aviation club I'm running and building at the school where I teach. It would be so cool to have our own plane, or access to our own plane like that! ...if the district would allow it... But that's another topic... Keep up the good work!

@FeltonZackery-gm8yl 23 дня назад

Cherokee 180 She’s a winner🏆

@davidlee4576 21 день назад

That’s the deal all (us) new pilots are looking for. Nice find!

@michaelgill7248 22 дня назад

Love it guys, from jets to props. Keep em coming. Maybe J3 Cub next?

@AUav8r05 23 дня назад

Please repaint the plane! I can’t wait to see it restored to glory!

@ericsd55 23 дня назад

Glad to see you didn't use an electric impact driver on a camloc again!!

@johnwight6041 17 дней назад

I love my Cherokee 180. It’s such an awesome plane! Congrats I can’t believe how cheap it was. My airplane I paid $89,900 so still can’t believe how cheap yours was

@Pantherjonvideos 22 дня назад

You got a steal!!! A plane for 10k with a fairly minimal annual to get it back airworthy? Deal of the decade!! If that paint buffs out, it will be the deal of the century!

@williamnaler3366 23 дня назад

Hey rusty pilot here . Had to stop due to finances but anxious to get back in the air. If you ever give away an airplane please throw my name into the hat . Thanks. BTW, I really enjoy your videos

@clarencewiles963 22 дня назад

1 2 3 New paint, is in the back of my mind. Thumbs up 👍

@ohiyesa2328 21 день назад

2:23 Love the sticker

@indytripacer7390 23 дня назад

Great video

@JRAviation 23 дня назад

Thanks for the visit

@trumote 23 дня назад

What a great find! I am curious what got you interested in restoring planes. It seems quite unpredictable with neglect and unknown maintenance records. Really cool to see you guys systematically inspect the aircraft and regain the airworthiness cert.

@rjbishop12 22 дня назад

Great deal, looks like it really panned out for you. And that old Jeep Cherokee sticker on the side... hilarious!

@user-px5lg4dl5i 23 дня назад

Oh cool so you guys are the ones keeping my IA from finishing my plane sweet lol.

@markturboi 23 дня назад

I have a lot of hours in Cherokees, and I have never seen a 180 in the old model. I've seen 160s, but not a 180. I've flown 180 D models and 180 arrows, also the arrow 200. My favorite Cherokee is the old style 235, like yours.

@itsdaniyaal 22 дня назад

Great video JR. Would love if part 3 has more flying included actually wouldn't mind uncut flight back :D

@ericbitzer5247 8 дней назад

My dad took me up in Piper Cherokees when I was little until the 1980s he quit flying. The only plane I ever had the controls.

@jimmyrhodes1808 17 дней назад

Awesome

@SimonAmazingClarke 15 дней назад

Remove the stickers and red trim. Buff up the paint, reapply new stickers and red trim. She'll look amazing. Does sound like a good aircraft and great engine

@CRFHONDARIDER100 23 дня назад

Probably starts faster with the mags timed correctly as well nice deal for 10k

@compman0678 15 дней назад

You got me too! I am subscribing now!!!

@anthonyblacker8471 23 дня назад

You should always have an ELT on every flight, however I am pretty sure there is an exemption of 90 days (meaning you have 90 days from the time of removal to still fly) if it's taken out for inspection, repair, modification or replacement. That would most likely include replacement of the expired battery. But, better safe than sorry.

@radams009 23 дня назад

YOU GOT ME.

@JRAviation 23 дня назад

I warned you though!

@zenvairpilot 22 дня назад

The plane has some amazing hidden performance mods (all STC'd). Keep following.

@Airplanefish 23 дня назад

Legally you can put a placard on the dash saying ELT inop and that is good for 30 days.

@MegaFluxcapacitor 22 дня назад

Damn that’s cool with old mate bringing the battery.

@Aviatorpeck1957 22 дня назад

Great plane!!! I love my Cherokee 140/150hp I really like your channel keep it up!!! Safe flying

@TakeFlightGarage 23 дня назад

You guys have no idea how bad I want that Cherokee lol.

@abel1997at 22 дня назад

New paint 🎨

@brookesenfrance3852 22 дня назад

You have encouraged me to get my PPL. Come on!!!!!!!!!

@tedstriker754 17 дней назад

Great buy. And it seems in great condition. ELT battery, those 406mhz ELT's are a can of worms. They all have expensive, proprietary batteries, and they have to be inspected by someone who has the test box every year. Usually an avionics shop. The FCC somehow stopped avionics companies from making the 121.5 ELTs, although they are still legal. And some of them use off the shelf batteries. And you can test them yourself. I collected a few of those older ones before they were all gone.

@grahammcewan2059 22 дня назад

Hello from NZ. Found your site a few weeks ago, and enjoy it immensely. Please enlighten me: what does the JR stand for?

@jonclassical2024 18 дней назад

OMG...so glad you got a haircut!!!!

@Squirel 23 дня назад

I think the aeroplane was a fantastic deal. In terms of what to do with the exterior, I think you first have to decide what you're going to do with it. Clearly the plane is in pretty good nick but if you are going to sell it, it really needs a spruce up - first impressions count. If you're keeping it to log your own hours etc, you can afford to leave it (for now).

@wlbrobinson 10 дней назад

Big Cherokee Fan, own a 66 180 in west phoenix, they go down hill fast if not flown, keep them Flying.

@DaveWrightKB9MNM 23 дня назад

I'm sure the timing being off didnt help with starting, but the battery really spins that prop!

@cs0986 22 дня назад

Probably needs a repaint but I would it if you kept that same paint scheme! Love it! It’s old school cool!

@jacksmith8002 22 дня назад

Your channel is a fun watch

@wjthehomebuilder 21 день назад

15:09 Well.. you got me.

@Russell9778 22 дня назад

Good deal

@davidnelson4707 22 дня назад

earth X batteries are totally unbelievable. i have one in my 180hp cessna and it’s really helped in cold starts, can’t recommend them enough.

@user-wz2qe2pv6r 22 дня назад

When I see mechanics working a critical component on a dirty ole packing case...I start asking questions. Anyway that original stripe will look great re done.

@anthonyrstrawbridge 23 дня назад

Deal good

@planeflyer21 23 дня назад

Repaint it in a nice desert camouflage!

@wilgarcia1 22 дня назад

Nice

@alrad5686 22 дня назад

What a sweet deal. Always pays to have the cash in hand to jump on these deals when they come up. It should provide many fun flying hours.

@trevfenn 22 дня назад

You guys are rockstars in your field, keep it up. By the way, you did amend the weight and balance numbers after installing that light weight battery, right?

@johnmajane3731 22 дня назад

I switched to 20W 50 Phillips and my oil leaks were significantly reduced over the Aeroshell 15W 50. I also add camguard with each change.

@raywister5138 23 дня назад

Smoking deal!

@moseskelly2886 22 дня назад

That would be a very tough decision but I'd choose the one Cessna 182 Turbo Skyline. I have to admit that is an incredible Piper Cherokee 180. It was without a doubt 💯 percent worth it!!😎🤙🏽 Ps. I don't know if I told you this yet, when I was 15 1/2 yrs old when I got to be in a flight school. My brother's and I had the honor to be in that flight school together. It is located in Hawaii at Dillingham Air Field. I got to fly in Piper Warrior ii & a T-tail glider, one if my brother's flew in a Mooney M-20G & a T-tail glider, and my younger brother flew in a Cessna 172 or 182 & a non T-tail glider.

@benjigault9043 20 дней назад

Camguard, great for Lycoming, not needed for continental engines. Also, I am not a fan of multiweight oils, straight 50 for me but that has a lot to do with the heat in Texas.
