      We have been getting Cook Unity for a few months and enjoy it. We do prefer to use the "Cooks Tips" or whatever they call it for reheating. Most of them are 350 for 12 minutes. At work, I use a toaster oven. Skip that microwave.

      Wouldnt it have been a better idea to leave the engines off the wings instead of mounting them for better access to the firewalls so that hoses and all of the other stuff could be attached to the firewalls. Now the engines are in the way which will make it moree difficult to access the firewalls.

    42 yrs in aviation and I would not have taken on this project, due to my experiences with frame off resto's of street trucks. Always something "else" biting ya in the a**. With a plane its even worse due to the FAA regs, inspections, and certs, unlike a street vehicle, if it runs and moves, its good to go. Vehicle engine overhaul is about 25% of what ya pay for one of yours. A set of Tires and Battery MAYBE cost $1200. Now the wiring and avionics, my specialty back when, is a minor nightmare, most of my trucks have a MAX of 85 general purpose circuits at the bulkhead connector. NOW the real work, I resto'd/fixed a 79 Dodge D-250 Pickup and project was 14 to 15 months, so I feel for ya. BUT the way your attacking this project is a complete resto and FAA won't object when its all done. GREAT JOB Jason.

    I forgot about this channel and this project. It's been over a year, according to my watch history, since I have watched anything related to this project. Suddenly, YT has this video on my recommendation page. I'm still a subscriber, but this project has dragged on and on, and I got bored with the lack of real progress mixed with the commercialism of the channel. And now, when I do hear about it, thanks to the sappy YT algorithm, it is of course a video asking for more help with the project.
    It's great that you have found a cult following, that will apparently pump untold amounts of dollars and views into your project. You have found companies looking to help out how they can, for a simple shout out or advert. You have figured out the algorithm to reality and the common people: have a sappy feel good story, beg for help, show 'progress' while you grow.
    This project has dragged on long enough. It was fun early on, but just got too... boring, long winded, sappy. Others are correct, you can go buy a new aircraft for what you have into that skeleton already. Cars, boats, motorcycles, airplanes can (and should) be destroyed and recycled. This is no exception. I'm not sorry for unsubbing. Good luck.

    Obviously buying a flying 401 would have been much cheaper. But to save this plane, it goes beyond just money. Its a labor of love, for the plane, for aviation, and a way to serve others in the future, as well as giving us viewers something to look forward to every week, as we watch the progress. Keep up the great work Jason and the Rescue Crew.

    This plane is what brought me to your channel, and meeting both you and Sam for the first time! My heart aches 💔 for you all at the loss of Sam Ganow. I can’t imagine these videos without seeing him next to you all. You’re all in my prayers! May Sam forever rest in peace with his new set of wings and still flying high by your side. We all love you 😢

    So sad to hear of Sam's passing. He was such a huge part of this channel and the 401 Project would not have been possible without him. Rest in Peace Sam. Fly West Sam
    Flying West
    I hope there's a place, way up in the sky,
    Where Pilots can go, when they have to die.
    A place where a guy could buy a cold beer
    For a friend and comrade whose memory is dear.
    A place where no doctor or lawyer could tread,
    Nor a management type would e're be caught dead!
    Just a quaint little place; kind of dark, full of smoke,
    Where they like to sing loud, and love a good joke.
    The kind of place, where a lady could go
    And feel safe and protected by the men she would know.
    There must be a place where old pilots go
    When their wings get too weary, and their airspeed gets low.
    Where the whiskey is old and the women are young,
    And songs about flying and dying are sung,
    Where you'd see all the fellows who'd flown west before,
    And they'd call out your name, as you came thru the door,
    Who would buy you a drink, if your thirst should be bad
    And relate to the others, "He was quite a good lad!"
    And then thru the mist you'd spot an old guy
    You had not seen in years, though he'd taught you to fly.
    He'd nod his old head and grin ear to ear,
    And say, "Welcome my son, I'm pleased that you're here!
    For this is the place where true flyers come
    When the battles are over, and the wars have been won.
    They've come here at last to be safe and afar
    From the government clerk and the management czar,
    Politicians and lawyers, the feds and the noise,
    Where all hours are happy, and these good old boys
    Can relax with a cool one, and a well-deserved rest!
    This is Heaven, my son, you've passed your last test.

    Jason, The knowledge gained from doing this build is irreplaceable. Economically this project never made sense, but somehow you and your sponsors got past that part. What a great project to get back in the air. The big twin Cessnas are a joy to fly. Once you have flown one, you never go back. I’m a Cessna 340 rescue owner. I’m under water in the job and probably should have scrapped it. It is one of the best flying light twins I have ever flown. I’m an older guy and this is probably my last plane. Not sorry I did it and you shouldn’t be either. 23,000 hours flown all over the world. I would not trade a minute of it for all the money in the world! Go Jason!!!

      That guy has insight into what happened from a pilots standpoint and what he knows of aircraft. But not so subtly he ripped rebuild rescue to shreds and accused them of being cowboys who are skirting the rules and are just an influencer channel with no thought of real world risk. One idiot said he was careful with his words. That isn’t true at all

With the project overview it's clear what a huge task it is and it's still great to see some of the other projects being completed too.

    I knew from day one of the very first video you truly had no idea what you were getting into as an AP myself. But, I could tell your heart was in the right place and that convinced me to stick around. Your conviction is infectious and proves that in life when things get tough and people doubt you it means you need to double down, push through, and see it to the finish. That is what success is built on. While some of your earlier conceptions and mistakes were concerning you demonstrated that you are capable of learning which is something many in the starlight seem unable to do which is get over themselves. I'm glad I donated. You make the world a slightly better place in these dark times. You are representative of the spirit that built this country. I hope others follow your example.

    I am always happy to watch your videos Jason. I live in Thailand and you and your team bring a little bit of much needed Americana back into my life. This crazy yet so adventurous project continues to inspire so many of us. I started watching your channel way back when you had just started with the 401 and it's been a joy to watch how your subscribers have grown since then. Maybe it's your attention to detail or how you are able to share your journey with us that comes across as honest, sincere and with a spirit of persistence and hard work or maybe it's your dedication to truly making a positive difference in other people's lives, but whatever it is it seems to me that what your offering us is a whole lot more than just restoring a bird destroyed airplane, but a window into the human spirit and what it's capable of when people come together under a common goal to achieve the impossible. I can hardly wait to see your face when the 401 finally makes it off the ground. Keep the faith friend! Let's Fly!!!

Your determination and passion for this project are inspiring, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can create something remarkable and make a real difference in the lives of the people in the aviation community.

    Jason, were going to need full transparency.. you have your hand put and want public donations.. but you arent showing the actual full picture... and i'll start by saying that i want you to be successful and i want you to make money.. you should.. but when you have your hat out looking for donations.. we need the entire picture to see what's what.. show us the actual youtube adsense revenue since 401 conception.. then show all the sponsor revenue for the embedded ad spots.. then add up all the labor and tools/parts/service donations by all the shops, manufacturers, people and services... and then show us your employee costs.. your A&P/IAs .. joe.. camera man.. etc.. show us your fixed costs now.. hangars.. insurance.. other flips accounting since they all kind of intertwine.. you want this project funded by the viewers.. you want it treated like a non-profit.. but for profit.. that's fine.. give us full accounting on the whole enchilada.. full transparency.. not just donations and your actual receipts for a few parts.. lets see what the whole thing looks like.. and i'm not saying you aren't entitled to make money too.. even non-profits pay employee salaries.. the boss get a big chunk.. that's cool with me too.. so i'm not jabbing at you saying you are making a killing.. but you aren't telling the whole story while you have your hand out... give us full transparency on the entire project.. we need an accurate all encompassing balance sheet and P&L since the 1st 401 video.. then ask for donations.. and i encourage anyone looking to donate, demand this as well.. we all want you to succeed.. but we need to know where the project stands if you want our financial involvement.. you know i've been one of your biggest critics, but i'm also a fan of what you are doing.. i respect how far you have come.. how much you have learned.. and i think you will eventually be a decent aviator.. so make these records available.. Thank you.. and good luck to you my little bald bearded buddy.. lol

      @@AV8T0R401 Exactly, i'm sure he's co-mingled personal funds to make these other projects happen.. and i'm not like most people who might not be capable of seeing the entire "scope" of an operation like this.. most have no idea how much the adsense and paid sponsor spots can bring on a popular channel like this one.. and like you mentioned.. he has giveaways, boats, cars, etc... all of this leaves room to "fudge" numbers and hide the real picture.. and i fully believe when you are perpetually passing the collection plate, there has to be transparent accounting.. i don't care if he pays himself and the guys very well.. matter of fact.. they should.. but you can't just toss out some fantasy numbers while asking for people to make his project part of their family budget going forward.. because the channel features the other projects, they have to be included.. and most important.. the youtube and adsense revenue HAS to be disclosed and proven.. 700k subs.. long videos that get watched to the end more than not.. this channel should be bringing in a gold mine.. the statistics databases say he doesn't do that well with adsense.. but he should be.. so he needs to figure that out.. the paid sponsor spots he features can also pay quite a bit.. 52 of them a year.. they vary.. but he could easily see $10k+ and on some way way more.. on the videos that get a half million views.. those ads could pay $50k a week.. this is just speculation.. so if it's much less like he says.. SHOW US... so that's an easy half million a year.. most likely double or triple that.. i'd really like to see.. these videos get long playtimes.. and consistent views.. and all the companies donating parts and services.. th avionics alone is quite a haul.. interior/paint.. it adds up quick.. you have to assign numbers to that and disclose it.. lets not forget.. when this plane is completed.. it's going to be a valuable asset.. lets not forget.. it's been years now.. the only mission so far is joes teeth.. all this talk about missions but the only thing i see if Jason lining his portfolio with assets and paying for them with donations and youtube revenues.. and that's ok.. but if you are going to ask for support.. lets see ALL THE NUMBERS.. carve out the financials in regards to the channel since the 401 project started.. let see where we stand.. i can speculate as to the kind of monthly revenues the channel makes, but it can vary.. so we really need him to provide that.. same with the ad spots.. those will be substantial on a channel like this one.. merch sale.. etc... i don't care about his carlot or body shop or whatever.. and that's not our concern.. but i do care about how the financial picture shakes out on this channel and its projects.. he can de co-mingle the numbers.. call what he takes as a salary.. and provide an accurate balance sheet.. he's got to have an accountant working on this by now to keep track of assets.. he's smart enough to know to protect himself.. or at least he's learning to.. but he thinks most people will just watch a video like this one and accept his word at face value.. this video just shows me he doesn't want you to know the real numbers.. i can speculate as to why that is.. but really, i just want to see the numbers.. my guess is he will not want this thing being a true working non-profit because then those numbers will have to be made public.. then again.. if he can't calculate the range of that plane any better, maybe he really doesn't understand his financials.. he said it was going to make it coast to coast non-stop.. westbound at that.. lol.. right..

Do you ask the Santa at every mall for his credentials and the financial spreadsheet of his company and all affiliated companies along with his 1096 for the previous five years or do you trust a person enough to give five bucks for something you believe in? Honestly you sound like a sociopath with control issues and an obsession with money likely because you are a poor little man with no control over the events of his own life due to lacking a spine and self agency. I hope you grow some balls, a brain and a heart one day.
