The dedication of one bloke building that plane from scratch.
When you opened the cowl, I said, "Is that a Ranger engine?" How cool is that? Kudos to that lady who knew her stuff regarding starting it. Awesome fun buddy!
She's a member of EAA Chapter 35 in San Antonio. A pretty amazing pilot... just a few years ago she took her first ride in an aerobatic airplane, now she regularly competes in regonal competitions; just finished her commercial; took a helicopter ride I think late last year, now getting her helicopter add-on. Regular Young Eagle pilot. Instrument rated. I was not expecting to see her, and just got an email from her confirming that it was her. I'm just bummed that Jimmy was in my neck of the woods, and I didn't know it, couldn't get over to rubberneck or photobomb a youtube video.... LOL
That’s exactly what I just said! Look at us airplane nerds freaking out. I love it.
The Tavsrish of airplanes
🤔 Oh really, 😜 well let's see Jimmy get a fighter jet that's been crashed into the ocean flying again... That should be on the same level for him then lol 😆 or the Elvis jet flying... 😂
Tavarish with a side of hoovie
Forsure😂😂
Facts !!!!
No, Tavarish is the Jimmy of cars.
always listen to the lady..especially when it's on how to start an airplane
That's a Falconar SAL P51 Mustang 2/3 scale, with a Ranger 6 Cylinder engine. They were plans built. Never available in an actual "kit". The Mustang you have there is also in a KZhead video tilted "SAL P51D Replica". Previous owner was Jerry Sides. Check it out , it shows Jerry flying it.
Bucket list item.........Spend a day working on planes with Jimmy........looks like so much fun.
My younger Brother Dan belonged to the EAA. He lived and Breathed airplanes. Lost him in January to covid. I still look up every time a small plane is overhead of my farm. God I miss him. Always wanted me to go to Oshkosh with him. Regret not taking the time to be with him. Thank you Jimmy for the great video! Be Safe!
Being Britsh and ex RAF I have to say I'm bias and love the Spitfire and the Hurricane but the P-51 is a thing of beauty . And this little P-50.5 has all that same beauty . Can't wait see this fly and I think this will be the first to sell . That's of cause if don't decide to keep it for yourself . I'm sure you could persuade your better half 😊😊
The P50 looks like it's interior and parts are in better shape then any of your other planes. 😂 atleast they are cleaner and free of dirt and oil.
And spiders 🕷 😬
Looks like it was in a better hangar.
five cranks ought to do it. Wow only two did it! You just needed instructions on how to start it. Great work Jimmy! I really like that P-50!
Please keep the p51 Jimmy I really want to see it flying
That's the one I'd keep out of all of them!
Jimmy always makes me laugh when he reminds us all the number 1 cause of fatal plane accidents is flying planes that have recently been repaired, exactly what he does every time he buys a plane that's been sat unused for years , gotta love this guy , fly safely Jimmy 👍
This is why i love ❤️ Jimmy's world!!! God bless Jimmy
12:38 that's where the old saying comes from. Going Balls to the Wall When they had to jam the tops of the throttle levers (rubber balls) right to the firewall during dogfights
The P-51 has all ways had a special place in my heart
That lady who showed you how to start it is a LEGEND ! Unsung hero !
JIMMY! I just wanted to say on your most recent video that I did my first solo yesterday. A big thanks to you and your videos for inspiring me to get out there and get my license. Now if I just had a plane 🤔
HeHe. Yaaaaaa Baaaaaby. You two are GOOOD. Can’t wait to see some of them fly. Mustang, SE5 , Jenny. Oh yes, please.
YESSSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS LITERALLY CHECKING EVERY DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I LIVE YOU JIMMY LETS GOIOOOOOOO
Looks like the builder did a great job on your aircraft. This replica is basically a Fairchild Pt-19/26 firewall forward. 200 HP Ranger engine with the oil cooler mounted under the belly. Ranger Engines are smooth running and sound great. Pain in the butt if you have to pull a cylinder since the camshaft and housing have to be removed before you remove a cylinder. I owned a PT-26 for 36 years and did it more than once. I would love to fly this replica P-51! Lucky guy!
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 If that was mine, I would put some wheel covers Panels on it. It will make it extra awesome.❤❤❤❤
I remember years ago there was a fibrglass version of the P51 kitplane...it was a lot like building a model airplane or rc plane...That Mustang has a BIG NOSE on it!! Talk about being a rush to fly. I would love to see if anybody ever built a P39 Aircobra ( tri gear ) kitplane..that would be very popular to build and fly... Taildragers..are tricky.. 🐦 ..
For anyone wondering it’s a SAL 2/3 P51 Replica.
Congrats Jimmy and crew on getting the mini P-51 Mustang running.. sounds great with the 6 cylinder engine..
I really love the content! I’ve been working on and flying for 40+ years and never get tired of seeing the variety of aircraft you get to play with. Thank you!
This is a Ranger engine. Upside down is the normal installation position. A friend had a Fairchild 24 E, the only one flying in the world, and it use the Ranger engine. When rebuilding it they had to use rings from a Cadillac. Likely from the 50's.
I’d definitely keep the mini pony ! 😀
I had a lot of faith in the P 51 mustang I knew it’s gonna start is it is is in a good condition carpet it’s amazing clean a little bit of papa, gas and why she goes awesome job Jimmy😂😂❤🫵🫵🇨🇦
Even though not a genuine p51 it is still really cool.
Always enjoy watching your videos. Love what you're doing. I'd love to see you fly this one.
Attaway Jimmy, always on top, thanks. Love those p-51s, catch you down the runway Fly Guy❤
That was so satisfying to see it start😁
Jimmy, you have got to keep that one get rid of all the Cubs and keep this one. It’s like a P 40 but I know you want to keep one of the other ones to train Silas. I would get him a Cessna 180 skyline or some thing you’ve got to keep the P 51B for baby just my thoughts that was awesome. I can’t believe it’s an inverted sex.
Inverted sex ? 😂🤣
Liking the Airfix Mustang , just the machine for your son :)
This Lady knows what she's talking about WTG !!
Thanks. Always enjoy these. Congrats on the starts.
Just WoW!!! Just took one crank ! Congrats!!!
What kinda engine is that?? Merlin mini? Thats no fare you had help from professional engine start Lady 😂👍👍👍
Jimmy needs to hire that lady IMMEDIATELY!
Love watching you Jimmy you always brighten up my day keep up the good work 👍👍👍save the 310 👍👍👍👍👍👍
NOT a pilot, just a HUGE aviation geek my whole life(67). Jimmy....LOVE your Content, Enthusiasm, and Variety. #CHOPS
My grandfather Glen McIntyre he flew jugs in ww2 and a mustang for the marines in Korea. You know what he did.
Great job bringing these planes back to life. Look forward to seeing them flying again in the wild blue yonder. I love seeing all the cool stuff happening in Jimmy's World
Well done Jimmy from NZ...🎉🎉🎉
Love watching you Jimmy. Really love how you include Silas in your adventures.
My flight instructor back in the day was a demo pilot for Fighter Escourt Wings and he demoed a Mustang like this for them. It was really neat to see this, it brought back a lot of memories
ask him what kind of powerplant. I remember development stalled on the F.E.W. 67% Mustang due to no suitable powerplant and they wanted an auto conversion. If one ever flew it was most likely with a conventional airplane powerplant and that must have looked hideous fitting that in the available space. Not sure if a customer airplane ever flew from the handful of kits that were delivered.
@@buckmurdock2500 it was powered by a Chevy 350 if I remember correctly
@@buckmurdock2500 I do remember he had to put it down in a field of mesquite trees due to a gear reduction box failure.
Love the P-50 startup. So great to see you start it right up. ✈️✈️✈️✈️
I love this channel, so much enthusiasm! What a blast!
Whoo hooo, been waiting on this one!!
Crazy that jet sat in rosewell for long time would see it all the time
A few years back I saw a 3/4 spitfire replica with a Jaguar V12 sounded fantastic
That’s awesome. Thank you for the increased videos. 👍👍
This plane is exciting! Jimmy, I really look forward to seeing this one fly! The P51 is my all time favorite airplane, even a replica is very cool. You always deliver great content and you are getting to do the stuff we all dream of doing. Good job man!
Man, I'd love to take the mini 51 for a rip!
The fuel pump was running fast and that means no fuel, just air. When it slows down you know it is pushing fuel and pressure.
Interesting homebuilt 2/3 P-51D. Mixture on the right side, throttle on the left... ummmmm... different. Small fuel leak? Ehhhhh, it'll be fine. The 2/3 P-51 is definitely an interesting experimental aircraft.
So cool, watching you just film your mate!!
Great content as usual, never a dull video. Thanks guys.
It's amazing, sometimes you have to hold your jaw to the right for engines to start. Working on cars for over 50 years, and on some engines, you just have o figure out the combination of things to do to get them to start. Good Job Jimmy.
Thank you for the video. Now retired and old areo repair/crash recovery air plane gye, I truly get it. Just could not be far away from aircraft, now no choice. Still got my memories, they can't take that away!
Jimmy, you make everything about airplanes exciting! Love your videos!
The P50(1) is a beauty, and anyone would be proud to own her imo, great work guys & it shows getting the start sequence right and she fired on 2nd turn but on the 1st correct sequence.
Very Cool Jimmy .
That's cool as hell, but you couldn't pay me to go up in that. 😆
That Ranger 6 is an historical time piece.
Congratulations Jimmy!
I am not a pilot or plane guy but your attitude and enthusiasm is great to watch. I love watching your show - thanks for sharing your passion with us.
Been looking forward to this one.
Best one yet..Jimmy..
this P-51 is just to darn cool and this is a plane you should keep
Thumbs up 👍 3 cranks and ready to go 😀
Congratulations!
Yea... this Is a beautiful plane.. 🤤 If i was gonna keep any out of that lot it would be this one for sure. You're definitely gonna have to fly this one Jimmy. 😅
all you fan boys, Jimmy can't fly it. He's not qualified in taildraggers.
As a boy growing up in the farmland of North Central Nebraska we had a neighbor who had turned his big hip roof barn into the Garage Majhal of home Shops. He had been an actual Aircraft Mechanic in WW2 and worked almost exclusively on the Packard Powered Mustangs in England that flew bomber escort missions into Germany during the war. When he came home he poured most of his spare time into building Drag Racing Cars as a Hobby and also did some racing of his own. However it was in the late 60's that I got old enough to drive over and visit him daily after school so naturally I became like the Son he and his wife never could have. They had 3 Daughters that were all married and moved away to both coasts so I kinda got adopted. Anyway he had many old photos of the War and he kept telling me he was one day going to find a Packard /Merlin powered Mustang and buy it ....and he was a man of his word. He wound up buying a Fully Functional Mustang with the Packard Merlin engine from some country in South America, He and his wife flew down and actually got the Plane going and flew it all the way home making stops several places along the way of course to fix leaks, things breaking and what not but they landed on our little country crop duster grass air strip about 10 days after they left home. Then he called my folks and we all went to the airstrip about 9 miles from our home and my folks took his wife home and he had me fly the last little hop from there to their home. It wasnt really a 2 seater but he knew how to modify and move stuff so his little wife or me a 14 yr old skinny kid could ride quite comfortably behind his seat ...see he wasnt very tall either at 5'4" so it all worked out quite well. I spent the next nearly 2 years helping him rebuild and repair every little tiny piece of that plane and we got it right back to its original shape and colors....she was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and it ran so good and sounded amazing, there is no mistaking the sound of that 12 cylinder engine under power....man it will vibrate your innards standing 15 feet away from it..He took it to several air shows and flew it frequently then his wife passed from cancer and he seemed to loose all interest in life period. He sold the plane to some collector from Northern California who put it in several movies I was told by his one Daughter who lived out there but as to where its at today I don't have a clue but my name and his and the date we finished its rebuild is inside the cowl in yellow enamel paint. I wound up being in the will and inherited all the tools and shop equipment from Old Military Metal Lathe to bolt bins...from brass hammers to German and Swiss made measurement devices for measuring bore sizes etc. And every tool and piece of equipment in between that a man could ever want and I treasure them all....they are in my version of his Garage Majhal in my yard....I found out about 6 months later from the lawyer that the Daughters who each got a equal share of the sale of the Mustang had all gotten together had a meeting and took the money from the Mustang sale and even some of their own and pooled it to try and buy the Mustang back from the guy in California because they knew their Dad really wanted me to have it but wanted also to leave his Girls something too, so they decided since they were all quite well off from the sale of the farm and what they had already....that if successful they all voted to buy it back and give it to me believe it or not but the Collector in Cali wouldn't budge even though he was going to make a sizeable profit...he wasn't having any of it. So thats the God's truth of what happened to that Mustang....I've tried many times over the years since to at least track it down but no such luck. Last time I have any verification it still exists out there someplace it had transferred hands 3 times since the Old Man sold it to the guy in California, and then twice to people who have a lawyers office as an address so....what does that tell you.
Crazy story. Awesome guy and one day it’ll show up.
That screenshot cracked me up 😂 You're a dag Jimmy but i love ya mate. Been watching from Melbourne Australia since you had roughly 60k subscribers. Love your content brother.
P51D. The most beautiful creation since the beginning of time!
Jimmy you gotta keep the mustang. That thing is so cool!
Sweet startup!
Those planes are awesome!! Great job y'all!!!!!
One of my friends when I was young, I think his dad built one of these in their garage.
Great video jimmy i love the mini mustang ya definitly gotta take it out for a spin before you sell it.
You made it! Saved the best for last. Congratulations
I wonder how many P51 mini home builds are in existence? Maybe this is one of a kind? Great video Jimmy. Love your content. Take care.
Look at Gnatsum we have quite a few in Europe
Got one at my local airport here in NZ powered by a V6 suzuki vitara car engine, cool little plane. Keep the adventure goin Jimmy.
Looks to be a Falconar SAL Mustang, not one of a kind....but not a whole lot of them kicking around.
Is it a Legendary Mustang from Ed Hullinger ? If it's glass fibre it might be
It is possibly a W.A.R Replicas P51 Mustang. Cuz of you look at the gear there’s no cover. The intake also looks the same.
Hey if you need to keep water from coming in the roof vent on the RV when mine broke I used an umbrella just poke it thru the vent hole and open it up. Its not permanent but it works great temporarly. That way you don't get ant more water damage before you fix. Would not suggest while in motion. Btw just started watching your channel and do far so good! Keep up the good work!
Nice little bird. That Ranger engine is a real jewel. I’ve got the same one in a PT19. Always starts easy and are really tough. Way to jimmy!! When are you going to start marketing your collection?
excellent
I like that seat better than the boat cushions most aircraft have. I might go for a super light race seat like a Kirkey and a race harness.
Right on Jimmy!
That Airport looks like Hondo Texas...The Woman giving instructions looks familiar too does she have a Pitts Special and Hi 👠..lol
I was gonna send this to her before I realized it was hers...
So cool to live your dream!
I saw an aircraft backfiring, clinging to the sky and it made me think of Jimmy.
I love this plane!
I love y’all’s videos
Saved the best for last. Awesome!
There are a few 3/4 or 2/3 Mustangs that fly over DF-Day Ohio at the August event. They add so much the the battle.
Well done Jimmy
Suggest chock mains before pulling prop through
Yah BOI! Hope we get to see the P-50.66 in flight, maybe with the SE-5a? To quote a friend of mine- "lotta work", good job fellers!
She will work😮 love your work
Ol gal knows her stuff
