Fun times! So great to meet Jim and hear his story. Thanks for letting me join you!

@jvmalta081 Год назад

one of these days you will be mistaken for a sane guy :P keep up the good work and a great team !

@jasonfarlin8113 Год назад

Loved this video! My dad when he met my mother via 1949 he had a j3 cub and a 49 Indian chieftain no car. He just passed this year at 93 and was one of the most incredible people you could ever meet! Could see it in this owners eyes when that plane fired up. Keep your head up Bruce, love what you do!

@lengreenhill3625 Год назад

Love seeing Jimmy and son with you guys doing a will it start . CLEAR PROP

@loganb5657 Год назад

@scotabot7826 Год назад

The absolute worst thing for that airplane is to just sit there!! Looks really Clean. Wonder when it was last restored?

@andrewjackson8401 Год назад

If anything you made that guys day getting that plane washed and started since his son died all those years ago… great collab with jimmy!!!!!!

I appreciate your video. I have a 1946 JC3-65 with the upgrade to 85 hp. When putting the cowl back on I enjoyed your comments. Yes its a pain to get it in and to remember the order of how to replace holes on pins. With Bruce's comment about goofing off and gettinghis PPL I can say I did plenty of goofing off myself. i got y PPL at 46 and am still flying at 78. Over all that time I've only been able to get about 350 hours but I am keeping at it. I got a portion of the JC3 and even though we have 4 stakeholders I'm the only one working on (supervision of AIP) and flying the Cub. I was 77 when I finally got my tail-wheel certification and that was in the winter in Tennessee on a lumpy grass strip in cross winds. You're a farmer. Don't retire before you've met your goals.

@dlsmallenginerepair Год назад

Great video, you could see it in the owners eyes that he wanted to hop in and take off! We usually prime it then run it through eight blades with the mags off, and usually starts first time.

@johnyurkon5064 Год назад

Never push in the middle of the struts. They bend easily. Grab at top or bottom.

@robertmannel4446 Год назад

You and Bruce really did this sweet guy a kindness. That thing is in good shape. What a great first plane this would be for someone. Great job!

@jacobpapp1593 Год назад

At 29 min in you guys need to be more careful when turning the prop with the mags on. Great technique propping from behind. With impulse couplings there is no need to spin it hard, just pull down smooth and get your hand out of the way. Use the primer to get some fuel in the carb then pull it through 3-4 times with the mags off. Then mags on and it “should” fire. But good job tieing the tail and a safety pilot in the seat. And the old man was right about pulling through backwards as that clears the carb without introducing fuel when flooded.

@mrray55 Год назад

Super cool will it start. Great job guys. You could see the joy in that mans eyes.

@seamusburke9101 Год назад

I was surprised you didnt taxi up and down the field to give the controls a workout.

@robinlee7886 Год назад

Loved every minute of this video, that smile on the owners face was worth it all, once again, you guys did an awesome job.

@iwantmyvanback Год назад

Your collaborations with Jimmy are great! The content has really been exceptional lately

@madmit2483 Год назад

Bruce I've been following your channel forever and Jimmy's. Top-notch video boys. So glad you and Jimmy are doing more videos together. You're the diesel mechanic wizard. But I tell you what Jimmy's pretty damn knowledgeable when it comes to planes!!! Keep up the great content!!!!!!!

@spriggdude6195 Год назад

Got a little choked up listening to her run. Was not expecting that. Dad taught me to take off and somewhat land in the ol' girl. Well, until one time when we were landing in Wesley Chapel, barely touched down and she began to creep off the runway. We were still moving at quite a clip. He asked (yelled) "do you got it?!". At one point I said I got no rudder, take the stick! He took it as it went off the runway. He used the brake and forced a ground loop without tapping the wing. Nice memory! Well, if Dad is still looking to pass her down to his boys, maybe we could work something out with his blessing 🤔. She needs to fly!

@Conn653 Год назад

A J-3, the perfect trainer. A go nowhere fast, enjoying the countryside view, at a leisurely pace! 🙂

@jeepercreepers2 Год назад

Love the “ will it start”. Would love to see some old military trucks/equipment. Possibly some old swap buggies ?

@chuckgilbert2035 Год назад

When you sprayed starting fluid in it and it did not fire. I knew you had a mag or switch problem. I have hand propped off a Tripacer with a Lycoming 150HP. You cannot prop it off with one hand. Two hands, curl your fingers and just use the tip of them and be moving back as you prop it. Clear instructions is a must and never turn the prop with the mag on until you have it in position to get a full swing. Be safe

@battz99 Год назад

The owner's attached to his beautiful Cub and rightfully so. Why should he let it go? All he needs is for a friendly local pilot to come out to his place and take him up once or twice a month so he can still get to fly it from the front seat. I hope that's what he can get - it'd mean a lot to him I'm sure.

@davida.p.9911 Год назад

Did ya'll hear that plane that was overhead when ya'll were trying to start it?? That was the Red Baron thinking, "Are ze going to get zer plane off ze ground??" 😂😂😂 Good work guys!!! She sounds great!! 👍👍

@karlmacburnie1573 Год назад

Two of us flew air ambulance and charters all week long in Northern Maine. On the weekend we got in a Champ about the same year and had a ball. Bought back great memories.

@BjoernKarlsson Год назад

Bruce gotta work those crank muscles! Also grab it further out and get a lot more leverage 😏

@mikeryan6277 Год назад

Plane looks like it is close to air worthy it deserves to be flying.

@dano4572 Год назад

THIS IS HISTORY GUYS

@michaelgreen4838 Год назад

At least he kept it inside!

@mauryamckendrick5446 Год назад

That is crazy the condition that plane is in for how old it is! I'm sure the camera helps out quite a bit, but she looks dam near new! The shots of the prop spinning then the RPM's sink up with the camera speed and how it looks to almost stop spinning has always been crazy to see. Cool video though I dug it!!

@ericgregory3005 Год назад

You can tell that nice guy isn't going to get rid of it. Too many memories attached to it. Shame it would make a nice flier but it's his to do what he wants with it.

@scrotiemcboogerballs1981 Год назад

Great video glad you guys got a chance to get it running and show us a vintage airplane with a great guy thank you

@getonlygotonly 11 месяцев назад

@tyleryoung6577 11 месяцев назад

@Anthony-hl7bb Год назад

@onedayatatime4232 Год назад

@pltanner2981 Год назад

@bradlegg3025 Год назад

I'd like to see dual Stacks put back on Blue collar Cab over freightwire

@Orzorn Год назад

These old J3s are bullet proof. So simple its hard to have something really go wrong that a bit of something out of a spray won't fix it.

@terrysmith7076 Год назад

Jimmy I like the little Piper very cool.

@blackhorse2947 8 месяцев назад

Bravo mon capitaine

@benjaminstockton3917 Год назад

Awesome video, Bruce. I like the aviation Will it start I appreciate you, buddy 👍

@eonbio Год назад

paintful to watch. next time you start a long sitting classic, please change the oil (you can use inexpensive auto oil), spray oil in the cylinders (try to coat cylinder walls), spin prop with plugs out (at least bottom plugs) before trying to start (and make sure you see oil pressure reading on guage just by hand spinning with the plugs out. next replace plugs and start. after run (not more than ~5 minutes of run) - change the oil and filter (if it has one) back to aviation oil.

@toddclark332 Год назад

Looks like cletus'sr buddy❤ was really hoping you were going to fly it

@lloydrobinson7081 Год назад

keep the clips coming

@johnfitzpatrick2469 Год назад

Good experience "throw a prop" that's for sure. 🌏🇭🇲

@salluparello7297 Год назад

If your gonna sell the Piper cub you should sell it to a banner towing company so they can use it so it’s used for something

@fatratz2012 Год назад

get that license back and take that man up,you can tell that was his baby,when ya get it maybe ya could toss out some of my air force dads ashes he was a private pilot and had a 172 for awhile I never got to go up with him and those days passed but I know he'd love a final flight

@scottfoster9690 Год назад

Awesome video bruce! My Dad was a pilot this video brings back memories. My dad loved planes.

@TheRealBobBasher Год назад

Could someone please explain to me why people let things like this rot rather than allow someone to acquire and continue the legacy????

@battz99 Год назад

Unless you're an aircraft owner you won't understand. It's like a love affair between him and the plane. There was an old guy here where I live in France who had an old plane in the hangar that he flew well into his 80s. He then had to stop because as he said, his eyes began to give out. I found him a buyer for it but he would not sell. He died in his 90s and the aircraft is still there and I've been trying to buy it off his family just to save it.

@Timothy-lb2vr Год назад

Starting the engine is the least of your problems. If the fabric is that old you would be taking your life in your hands trying to fly this thing. New fabric would run about $15,000
