I love longer videos. Most of us are here because we love these old planes. I think you are doing a great job. Its was great hearing her come to life! I still can't believe how clean this plane is. Looking forward to the next one.
What happened with the Mooney? i was really looking forward to the adventure. At your expense, of course! 😂
Nothing better than such videos, flight enthusiasts getting their hands on such finds, and making them work again. I am thoroughly hooked. Please make more update videos, of every little thing you do to this mooney. Ill be with you on this journey. Stay safe and fly safe.
Retired airline pilot here. Love your videos. Keep it up!
We need more content on the Mooney! Merry Christmas!!
Would be great to see an update video on the Mooney! And as others have said, long format videos are always welcome!
It seems to me that SOMEone's been watching Jimmy's World: Can I get a 'CLEAR PROP?' 😆Best of luck, Mark and I look forward to more videos on your progress.
You're a great videographer. And the content is really captivating. Keep us updated. Even the little improvements are interesting. Sometimes an eight minute video can be more enlightening than a long one. If you had told me you bought a M20 for 8 grand, I wouldn't have believed you, but after seeing both videos, I'm with you 100%
That blue plane is a flying wheelchair. Run Forest run!
very interested in watching more vids on the Mooney!
I subscribed!!! Hoping that you continue to take us on your journey, all the way, to your first take off!!!
Great video! So glad your Mooney and your little grass hopper are now talk of the town on KZhead! Keep having fun!
I was cheering you on during the startup! Great Find, can't wait to see more and the first flight! Good Luck.
Hope you get the Mooney & keep us updated with your progress! 👍🇺🇸😎
Be safe and have patience, and I really enjoy the Mooney adventure.
I had two Mooneys, a Ranger followed by an Executive. Both great airplanes. . Eventually I moved up to a Cessna T210 and flew for 27 years. Good luck with the project and keep the videos coming.
Really enjoyed these two videos, looking forward to more! In addition to what others have said, check the camshaft and lifters for spalling.
Amazing can't imaginé the time that took and what a suprise the engine sound so good proper barn plane start Up haha.
Mark, she's ready to fly!!!! .. just kidding.. Engine sounds great! Congrats on buying a really nice Mooney. Please show some video of the interior, and fill us in on the story of why she sat in a field so long! You've got me hooked. 😃
I hope the Mooney will fly again!
I for one liked your video! Don’t listen to any negativity, you are just starting out on KZhead. Good luck with the Mooney!!!
Keep going with this. Being in Oz we don't get much choice in aircraft, all being overpriced. Importing costs a packet, with shipping and import tax and then tax on the total. Can only dream of finding something like your Mooney.
Watching alot of different KZhead on aircraft etc. ... you sound like a good person to watch ... so please keep on doing what your doing and I will watch your KZhead episodes ... I expect you will do great and also get help in restoration of the plane you are restoring ... ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊...
Looking forward to the next episodes! Greetings from Germany. Good Luck! :)
to fly though it is just an imagination to a conman man....moreover when we see so close of an architecture of plane it fill us with enthusiasm ........You are Blessed...............Stay Blessed always..........Regards
I like this video length, great content! Thanks!
Lots of interest in your endeavor, that doesn't surprise me; you are doing something a lot of pilots have always wanted to do. Having purchased my first airplane I am looking for a project to restore with my sons. I'm just a regular guy, no bales of cash sitting around just to spend or anything like that. I do have my IA so that helps with expenses a little. I would encourage you to start a spreadsheet and keep track of all the hours you spend working on the Mooney. After a certain amount of hours you can apply to the FAA for your A&P license if someone is willing to sign for your practical experience. I look forward to more!
Looking forward to more of this.
Lookit you! Two thousand one hundred subscribers already. 👍 Must be doing something right. 😎
longer Videos please...we love this
Looking forward to great progress!
I loved the video, keep them coming. Best regards Chris, The Netherlands
Chris, bedankt! Jij hoeft niet lang te wachten. De groeten
@@MarkPepke great Dutch! Kan niet wachten
i liked the first video! also the old tire ;) . Greets and thanks for the update video!
Call it the Loonie Mooney!! (in Canada a loonie is a one dollar coin)
Part 1+ 2 were great, I had a chuckle when ya said the Mooney might be a parts/salvage job ! ( bull sh-t ) ya just want to flog off the ultra light so YOU DON'T GET WET when ya flyin around the patch , * that's one spiffy lookin ultralight * you can box her up and send her down too OZ any time.
Love the videos. Looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds, hopefully with some in flight footage.
Very inspirational and congrats to you. I am trying to follow in your footsteps, but im surrounded by people saying dont do it save your money. Thank you again and im waiting for your update. Good luck
Sure would like an update. Surly you have some good or bad news to share. Anyway did enjoy
Sounds like a good plan!
I also like longer videos, watching people do projects start to finish. Maybe get a cheap tripod and a Gopro so you can just set it up and have wide angle so it is the right shape to see on a computer or TV. There are lots of used old Gopro's for sale that would work great for you for cheap as well. Thanks for sharing this journey with us, just a few tweaks and it will be easier to watch :)
Great video!❤
What a great find!
Awesome content. I cannot wait to see the progress on this. Keep posting it is great watching every detail of the adventure. Don't worry about the specific content, it is about the journey. I am living a dream I never followed thru your post.
G,day from Sydney Australia. Great video, did you get to pressure test the cylinders of the Mooney >65psi Moreover how was the panel instrument indicating after start up and throttle mixture? 🌏🇭🇲
happy for your success
That’s wild about the oil. I would have expected it to have water in it.
Keep updating on what you are doing.
Nice. Following it.
I am enjoying the series. So you must have sealed the leaking fuel tanks or did you just attach the fuel pipe to a gas can? I would be really interested to know the costs along the way.
Engine sounds good.
Jump to 10:00 if you are interested in the Mooney related video
But if they want to see a plane they can buy then I suggest they watch the full video 🤘
Thank you Jesus!!!!!
Hey man, I love this series, I just picked up a 1978 c152 project for about the same price as the mooney, being a pilot and a&p I know exactly how you feel wanting to have confidence in every nut and bolt on the aircraft, I look foward to future videos, you mentioned you needed a wheel assembly, I have one sitting in my garage, do you know the P/N so I can send it your way?
Videos bro, post some videos 😎
Keep us up to date please👍👍
My C-150F was purchased by me at an abandoned hangar auction held by the TICO Airport Authority in 2019. It's a long journey, and an expensive one in the end to obtain a "reliable" aircraft. I hope you at least got the logbooks as I did not.
I think he said he did get the log books in the other video.
WOOO HOOO!!
Best wishes in your endeavor. My wallet due to 68 & retired restricts me to RC planes, but if you're ever flying over the Catskills and need a passenger I should be up to the task...
The light 💡comes on at 4:00. Speed is the real reason behind flying vice ground pounding. 🦉
When will the next video come out?
Are you sure that your not related to Jimmy of Jimmies World KZhead channel out of Plant city Florida?
Living the dream. How is the project going?
where is the project actually?
80% of the video before a Mooney is front and center, and tried to start without the fuel boost pump. These engines will start easy if you follow the checklist.
Video not long. It's the unnecessary off topics.
7 months and no update? I certainly hope all is well with you.
So, what did you do with the plane???
When are you going to make more videos?
Try to match the title to the content…. It is better for the people watching…. 😀 Getting the fuel priming procedure correct is worth memorizing…. There will be a few start procedures to determine…. Warm, cold, and hot…
So, this really was a bait and switch....
Video starts at 10:40
Please keep with the money. Lol
any new updates on the mooney?
Part 3???
Longer videos for sure. Hey, if it has blades or wings, I'm into it. 8g's for a Mooney that runs....yeah, ya don't find that everyday. I'm looking forward to a video on you getting rid of the "custom engineered" sheet metal patches ;}>
BADASS😮🎉 b patient ... this machine will S 0 A R!!!!🎉❤
How much $$$
Update ?
Sounds like you got slightly duped into the ultralight and couldn't get training without going straight to the factory. If you have money to burn enjoy the ride
It's pronounced "Loo-a-vll"
That’s a combo bug smasher and traffic pattern clogger. I don’t consider anything modern which doesn’t fly faster than the speed limit as anything that “goes”.
"Mooney part 2?? Not really- spent 11 minutes just yakking away then 4 minutes about the Mooney. Big waste of both our times! Goodbye!
10mins of nothingness & 4mins of no content
and still more than you've ever contributed, troll. Its clearly a video adding context. If you don't appreciate that, leave!
Says the guy with Zero content, hahaha
Sun reason is bogging in really struggling to crank you have to have the proper line of the battery cables with the battery actually installed because you're just gonna burn up the starter motor and you're also gonna really bastardized the fly wheel on the edge you have to do that properly it'll pop right off slow down take your time
