I’m Building The WORLD'S FASTEST AIRPLANE 

N360KL, a Lancair 360 my uncle built, was clocked at 270 (unofficial). If you can beat that, I'd be rather impressed. Good luck, and hope to see you do it!

Turbo, glass cockpit, onboard 02, adjustable prop. I wonder what it would do up high. The biggest issue I think are structural improvements.

Been flying for over 40 years. Love aviation and LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! Keep it up Jimmy

I will wait for the race with other aircraft and new records! keep it up! Everyone is waiting for new content and ready to help)

As a 360 owner, this warms the cockles of my heart. And, of course, who doesn't love a warm cockle?

225 MPH at 23 MPG is a wonderful thing!

Well Jimmy, this plane for sure needs some love. If this is your favorite plane? Your baby? Ok then bring it up to a champion. Glass Cockpit, nice interior, and an awesome outside color scheme? This plane could be way better, right? Maybe a constant speed prop? If this would be my airplane I would go for it, because it’s worth it. Just an idea. Plain white, old school clocks, a bit underrated for this sportswear? Take care, always safe flying. And don’t forget to safe the 310!!!

Jimmy I love the Glass Air but I built a Veri eze not the Long but the original Veri eze designed to dominate the endurance/ efficiency races in the 80’s. Which it did. 100hp fixed hand carved wood prop, no starter. Plane was actually built to the pilots shoulder width and weight (canard size). We typically ran 180 knots at 75% between 5000-7000 ft at 4gph😳. We never pushed hard but some of the guys pushed into the 190-200 running flat with juiced up hampsters. Rutan told us the only limitation was how fast the 100hp could spin. Then some crazy guys tossed jet engines on a few. The Lance Air was my dream rig given you had more room to carry more than a spare pair of boxers and could put bigger power up front😆. Sweet planes!! If you ever find a high rated build Veri eze not a Long, an actual Veri eze go fly it. If you like the Lance Air the eze will absolutely knock your socks off.

Hey Jimmy, long term subscriber and love your channel. The Lancair one of my favourite aircraft is worth keeping and upgrading for sure. Can I suggest that you at least put a constant speed prop and unit on it. If you can turbo or supercharge it, you might end up with a space shuttle or close to it. This one’s a keeper Jimmy. Lots of fans here in Australia mate. Keep up the good work buddy! Paul from the Gold Coast Queensland Australia.

Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Cameron! Keep the videos coming, Jimmy!

I love your channel and your great information you share. I think your a great pilot. I can't wait to see if your children follow in your footsteps. Nice seeing they are learning alot. Peace Ray

Hi Jimmy, hi from the UK, we’re currently upgrading a 235. Which we have fallen in love with, well the bank manger has. Keep going sir, awesome posts, I watch everyone. Thanks Paul

Thanks for another great video Jimmy. It was interesting and enjoyable. Like your two seater aircraft. Neat little speed demon. Enjoy your ride today in the sky. Beautiful day to be flying. Super little machine. You are getting it. Keep at it Jimmy. You take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. Retired Air Force veteran.

Great news about the Lancair upgrades!!! Do Byron proud Jimmy! Cheers, Sev

Jimmy, thanks for entertainment. You are livin the dream ! I've been waiting for you to get to work on Cameron.

Beautiful airplane, and the pilot, you did a great job, Jim. I enjoy all your video clips very educational. I am, a RC plane pilot, and also I fly Microsoft simulator.

Lemme see, 3 blade constant speed prop, and a turbo for speed and altitude, and full glass panel with auto pilot. That ought to be a good start for Cameron...

Just saw the schedule for EAA this year! Excited to see whatever plane makes it, hopefully it's the 310! 😉

Jimmy Cameron desperately deserves a sick new paint job! Something epic to go with the new upgrades!!

You love the Lancair 360, You'd also really love my Glasair 1-RG with 245 HP modified Lycoming IO360-C1D6 10:1 (heli) pistons, Balanced, Blueprinted, Flowed, Ported, Cam modified, Electronic ignition with advance, RAM air,. Constant speed 3 blade carbon prop (Whirlwind). I pull the RPM back to 2450 for more economic fuel burn, full MP in the 10,500 to 12,500 altitude range where I mostly cruise, I burn 8.5 gph ROP and 7.9 LOP. At these settings my TAS is ~185 Kts. ( ~ 215 mph true) at 2650 RPM I do about 200 kts (230 MPH) about 9.5 GPH. Fully areobatic too with both inverted fuel (flop tube on header tank) and oil system (Christen). My fuel capacity is 62 gallons with extended tip tanks.

YEAH!!!! This is what I have been waiting for!

Very nicely done. Can't wait to see how fast you get this going.

Good morning and have a beautiful ☀️day! Love your videos!!

That's so cool Jimmy. Thanks for the ride.

I’ve heard lycoming may know a little about how airplanes work glad you teamed up with them

Hot dang, Jimmy - this was such a great ride! Thanks, buddy...

This is rightfully the favorite child! Such an amazing plane, and you couldn’t have found a better builder than the guy you bought it from. Gives you great confidence about the “bones” of the plane lasting a long time!

Cameron is definitely a fun plane to fly. Good luck on the speed record my friend!

I can't believe you do not have over 1 million subscribers yet because this is one of the best channels on all of RU-vid!

Go for it, Jimmy Sky King!

Awwwh Jimmy that sky looked blue and sunny! Just passed the shortest daylight hours here in Aus so your test flight in Cameron looked EXTRA gooood! Cant wait to see what she tops out at!

Hi Jimmy! Another fun filled video! Don't go tearing the wings off Cameron now will ya!!🤣🤣🤣 Cheers from Australia 👍👍👍

Jimmy's world skunk works, love it man, absolutely love it ✌️ ♥ 🎸 🍻

Nice run Jimmy :) hope Cameron gets you where you need to go... FASTER

Jimmy I like your Technical attitude. simplicity, Thanks keep it up.

"G" in GUMPS is for Gasoline, as in fuel selectors to appropriate tank. "G"asoline, "U"ndercarriage, "M"ixture, "P"rops, "S"afety (as in switches and seatbelts) it's the way I was taught many many years ago, just sayin. Others may have some variation of this but the most important thing I wanted to say is "can I get a CLEAR PROP" you're doing a great Job Jimmy and we appreciate what you're doing!

Wow that is fast! Can’t wait to see what you do to make it even faster

Hmmmm. In the murky swirliness that is JIMMY’S WORLD!….fast is as fast does ( to paraphrase a movie). It has been many years since I (eventually) passed my physics classes but I seem to recall things like flutter and shock that limits a planes not to exceed speed. As beautiful as Cameron is, we love our Jimmy too much to see her come apart in the air. But what am I thinking…this is Jimmy’s World and I’m sure all those silly laws of physics don’t apply. ❤️

Love this channel. Keep em coming Jimmy. Regards from Port Elizabeth RSA.

Jimmy, you DA MAN!!!! A little on the crazy side, BUT, still DA MAN!!!!!

Jimmy, you are having way too much fun. Livin' the dream. Lol

Hi Jimmy, i love it every time I see a new video from you! It’s great to see how far you have come along and how you have made a great channel with quality content. I’m also an editor and cameraman, and I’m impressed with what you have done, and especially am impressed with Silas. Keep up the great work and don’t ever lose your humor!!!!

I love how you said "wearing the airplane". Makes me imagine just how awesome that plane is to fly. Very responsive little thing I'm sure!

Cameron is my favourite too…lovely plane, just need to polish that chalky white paint and you will have >200:-)

I happen to notice that your sunshade looks like angels wings keeping you safe.

Love the Lancair,Love your Channel,would love to see you get an old Mustang 2 beefed up to race against,Aluminium vs Composite that be epic.

Cameron is awesome! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! Wish I could come down and help #savethe310

Woo Hoo. Go Jimmyy! Cheers from Outback NSW.

The US Navy just called Jimmy, you are going to need a tail hook for the Lancair! :-D

Rock On Jimmy! ❤

OMG JIMMY / Mavrick ...i was on the edge of my seat i thought i was watch the Darkstar agine ... that was awesome jimmy and ballsy ... big thumbs up 👍

I hope you do that. I read somewhere that Lance Neubauer (sp) built and flew at that time the fastest KR-2, then went on to design the Lancair. Beautiful plane!

Air go cart. Sweet. Thanks for sharing

Jimmy's the best!

Great initiative.

Very cool Jimmy. Now I want one.

You should check the Reno Air Races and see what guys like Daryl Greenamyer did with his Lancair Legacy N33XP.

We love Cameron, speedy wiz .

Wow awesome ! :D Wann have one too now haha :) Excited to see how fast you can get it !!

Great video Captain

This looks great.

Excellent stuff bro

Man I'm getting home sick for the sky watching this. Been without my Sundowner for over a month now waiting for it to get repainted. Hope it is completed some time next month.

My day is always better waking up to see a new "Jimmy's World" video......Russell D.

Would love to see how adding a constant speed prop will change things.

love your videos, keep up the good work

Forest Gumps check 😅 Jimmy you’ve got one of the most enjoyable to watch personalities.

VERY COOL!!!

Another exciting video day!!

Jimmy, just found a 1959 310c on FB Marketplace, thought you should check it out, it is located in Edgewater Florida!

I like Burt Rutan’s method of putting some or all of the plane on a truck with tabs to monitor air flow. I bet there are some tweaks to be made.

Nice speed demon! From truly one of your fans and part of that great AVIATION community.

A Jimmy's World video, and nothing broke!

Another fantastic video Jimmy. BTW, Speed below 10,000 ft is 250 KIAS, so Indicted it is. I want a Lancair 360 now.....

So this was a great video I loved it I am a total freak four-speed! Jimmy Brother from another mother lol first you got a port and polish those cylinder heads get them flowed for maximum performance and efficiency. Then screw a turbo put a pro charger on it talk to the guys at pro charger and see what they can do Shove much air as you can down the throat of that motor. Gitter done👍

Let's Go Jimmy!!! #SaveThe310 #GoFastCameron

Cool fun altitude great speed for a change a care free great video thanks Jimmy

Sweet ride

Yeah I always loved lancairs! What a nice clean cockpit, unlike the other stuff you see on this channel😂

Cool little plane.

You will have some tough competition from a couple of two-seater turbo props :)

Aviation people are the greatest of any group.

You should see how slow my X-Air 582 is. Everything happens at 50mph! Controlled airspace love seeing me in the pattern. It's fun though! Love your channel Jimmy!!!!

I know that it comes at a small speed cost, but would you consider adding winglets to it to improve safety/stall performance?

Call Mike Patey? He is just like you!! Loves planes!!! He’s done some crazy stuff with mods… you do crazy stuff with restoration… he has had a world record speed plane. He will have lots of insight. You both have awesome personalitys

Epic! What I'd give to go aloft just one more time.

I've never heard any "It'll be fine" more unconvincing than Jimmy's :p XD

Cousin bought a Lancair LC 40 Columbia from the factory. It was a very sweet airplane to fly. As you said, like putting on a pair of pants, even though it was a four seater. Wonderful avionics and fast. I liked flying with the stick.

Thanks for the fly along!

wow jimmy! you got a set!! i was nervous the whole video! can i get a CLEAR PROP!!!!

Alright...Go Fast Parts! Let's go!!

Cool project & goal

Nice to see Jimmy is getting hang of the "gear down" thing.

Add a water injector system to run cooler and go faster just like the "Jug "

Saying hello from Apopka sorry that we take so much of the frequency. I was up in the air when you were flying can’t wait to see the finished version.

Very interested to see how you go with the mods Jimmy 👍. I also have a Lancair 360 mk2 Ozzie tail but it has 200hp. The wing extensions and winglets mine has slow it down a little. Was getting around 190kt TAS at 9500ft. Gotta love the Lancair! Cheers from Australia.

Hi from Australia, love your video, a friend of mine has a glass air lll wow very fast. We where flying 240 knots. I love your Cameron

Hi Jimmy ! Ur the Best !

hey Maverick, i guess you could be using some parachute harness in case of "the wings fall off" i imagine. excellent vids , i love your adventures .
