Today on Rebuild Rescue we are checking out all the amazing new Avidyne equipment we’ve recieved, which means that it’s also time to start pulling out all the old instruments from the 401’s panel. We also take a look at the radar housed in the nose of the plane, and rip out the headliner so we can take a look at the full interior, lots of work being done today so be sure to check it out!

Hey guys I think you have a scammer in the mix. Check out the reply to my comment proclaiming to be from you, as soon as they said telegram I was suspicious 🤦♂️🤦♂️
In 5 years when this is running you will need to rename it the million dollar free abandoned airplane.
Ick!!! You guys need to replace that moldy insulation!!!
Rebuild rescue read this when you put the Phoenix back together with all new parts could you live stream the process like set up a tripod and stream the whole process and all money earned from the stream will go ether towards fuel or to charity if you want you could even do 50% fuel and %50 charity
Ps. I would stay for the whole stream

You are really blessed to have Joe. He is smart, a perfectionist, and very patient. Great qualities for a great guy. Loved the video, keep ‘em coming!!
He sure accomplishes a lot with that one ten-foot long screwdriver.
Perfection is the only standard to which safe aviation should be done. The bold aviator does less than perfect work, the old aviator does this level of work. We all know how that saying works out.
It's awesome to see how he's grown on this channel, on the TB20s first video he was super shy and barely said anything. Now hes runnin the show and making jokes and everything. Seems like a super nice genuine guy.
Joe is the hero with the knowledge of him as the guru of airplane work and mechanics...
Totally agree, great guy and awesome mechanic
I'm 13, and my room was in bad shape. After seeing your determination for this plane I found it contagious and now my room is in a much better condition and I owe it all to you guys!
Thank you
👽🤙
Good on you, man. It helps to get it in shape the first time and then condition yourself not to let it get too far from that point when things inevitably start getting messy again. Always start sorting things out again at the first sign that they're falling apart again. Pays immensely in the long run.
Idk why I went on a lecture about that, didn't mean to tell you what to do. Just sharing what helps me keep things tidy!
Neat life = neat mind. Set the habit of orderliness early. Chaos needs no help lol
Well done Joshua, keep that feeling going throughout your life my friend. 🙂
Well done! Thumbs up!
I am a amputee stuck in a nursing home recovering and I would really like to thank you for your videos,,,I am always looking forward to seeing the next one
would like and actually doing it are 2 different things
Joe, what a legend.. his methodical working, his knowledge wow what a guy
Hey! You found my clamp! Been looking for that for 50 years! 😁
Since it’s so hot in there, it would be advantageous to go purchase a portable rolling AC unit. I use one in my garage. Not expensive and you can duct it into the escape window.
Or just a box fan
@@rdmeenach Box fan in the emergency exit window blowing air in.
When looking at the job ahead of ya. Think of this. Ya start eating the elephant one bite at a time
@@rdmeenach If the hangar is air conditioned, then a fan in the plane should suffice to create air circulation.
If not, then a fan ain't gonna do diddly squat!
@@fredashay
It will if there is moisture on their skin. Even without central air in the building.
You should keep track of all the old electronics and wire , then weigh them to see how much weight was removed vs. the weight of the new electronics for a net gain or loss in pounds.
My father rebuilt Chinese Nanchang CJ-6A brought over here to the US in containers. He said for the total avionic/wiring rebuilds, he pulled over 350lbs out of those planes! He actually had to add lead ballast in his, named "Katrinka", because he went all lithium batteries and lightweight avionics... with the biggest stock engine those planes came with, 450 hp I think.... he couldn't use the battery as a CG counterweight because it didn't weigh enough!😂
They'll have to do a new weight and balance certificate of the aircraft once all is said and done. They'll compare it to the previous W&B certificate.
its going to fly because this story was the inspiration to save my current Robinson helicopter after it was abandoned for 20 years
Nice! Film for us!
Nice! Is it an R22 or 44? Piston?
I'm not sure I'd want to fly in a brand-new Robinson, never mind one that hadn't flown for 20 years! Good luck to you though.
@@najaB76 as long as it has restored by Robinson its safe. the only thing missing are the money hhahaa
@@TheoXydias_PerlaCoffeeTrailer Read up on all the accidents from mast bumping on Robbies.
Dang! I'm SO impressed with all that Jason is able to juggle and accomplish. I also love seeing Sam being so involved. I have a hunch he's really enjoying hanging with Jason and helping him with his projects. Love it!
Just a bit of advice, any electronics that come in an ESD/anti-static bag you shouldn't take them out of the bag till you're ready to plug them in. They're in the bag because they aren't protected from ESD (notice no caps on the connectors).
what a knowledgeable capable man Joe is! just watching him work would give you super confidence in his end product. i know absolutely nothing about airplanes but you are all a joy to watch with your commitment to making that bird fly again. thank you all for taking us on the journey .
I love seeing this project come together. Can't wait to see it fly. Thanks to everyone working on this project. All that wiring is mind blowing. It's going to be fun to get see all go back together. .
When you drill the screws out, use a LEFT twist drill. More often than not, it will unscrew the problem child.
Fantastic hack!
How is it possible that I didn't come up with it myself? Great hack! :-)
Thats genius
It’s not a hack. It’s the correct engineered method.
Add you slowed to use anti seize on these screws. It’s great for stopping electrolytic corrosion.
Cue arguments on copper vs aluminium paste.
@@davidelliott5843 Copper all day
First of all anything will fly given enough thrust, pigs for example are quite aerodynamic below the sound barrier.
As a mechanic seeing those wires reminds me of working on busses, the schoolbuses here are all single colored wires and you'd be lucky to find any labels on them.
Also had a mouse take out my SUV cluster once, little buggers used it for a latrine. Surprised no fried electronics from the animals in the 401.
You guys are going to have a lot of fun putting this back together, kinda wishing I could help.
I’m kinda NOT!
Here's another salute to Joe. Skilled, patient, thorough, and professional. A lot of ink goes to the flyers of these machines. You sir are an awsome maintainer. You have given me the benefit of seeing someone who loves what they do. I imagine many watching are inspired to do the work of caregiving to airframes recognizing how Intergral you are to the whole project..
Who ever build Joes screwdriver should sponsor the video it's his only tool works great too now I want a 2ft screwdriver
With all that pulling apart, I'm afraid at this point I'd be saying "What have I gotten myself into??". You guys are amazing!!
nah, when i saw the first episode i knew they'd have to tear the whole thing down to it's frame. The only reason he didn't start with that is because the purchase condition was "get it started". Else i bet he would have stripped this down to it's frame in the first episode. they're only now getting that far. they mostly have to do this at this point because they never found the log book. without the log book, they need to get everything tested (even microfracture testing), inspected, and approved before it can fly again.
Did you take a picture of the entire panel before you dismembered it?
It would be pretty awesome to have a before and after picture of the panel!
There is at least a hundred shots at the cocpit in the published videos alone, I suppose.
I'm pretty sure that the only problem will be which of those thousand shots before to choose 😂
@@freelancekatowice three.
The bird poop ones.
The clean panel ones.
The updated panel ones.
Maybe a fourth one of it being completely empty in there.
If you watched the video then you have a "before"...
He uploaded a picture of it before he posted the video earlier, it's in the community tab when you click on his channel
My point being that because there's a video you can stop it at any point and get a still shot.
Truly amazing how much knowledge you can pick up during restoration projects like this. Especially when listening to the dialog. I have filmed at many air shows, and have done numrous interviews with both pilots, ground crews and technicians during 15 -20 years, which has been very rewarding. Watching your videos truly adds a deeper understanding and perspective.
THIS IS LIKE THE BEST LUNCH BREAK EVER!
The 401 needs a name. "The BIRDS NESTS?" or "Mouse House?" With a sticker/painting on the tail with a depiction OF a Birds Nest and/or Mouse House (either side!)? =)
ALL the 'steam gages' and wires!! Watching the fremoval of ALLLLLLLLL them wires. Such patience!! Well done!!
Joe doing a great job ,like his in put on everything very knowledgeable
I love it when you have someone who has so much knowledge when tearing things apart. I used to be in textiles and got to a point where i could literally strip any of the machines i oversaw to a basic shell and then rebuild. It takes years but its so satisfying when you can do it literally blindfolded and passing that knowledge to another generation. Sadly my profession died a death due to off shoring but it was a big part of my life. Loving this rebuild so all my love from the UK.
It’s been a wonderful journey. Thank you for joining us Phil👍🏼
Awesome teamwork! When this old bird is back together again it will be the finest example of a Cessna 401! looking forward to what's next. God bless you Jason and all of the ones involved in getting this done. A big thank you to the sponsers!
Once again AWESOME videos, thanks for making them, enjoy every minute!
What started as a complete plane and a plan to restore it has now arrived at that point where we have many boxes full of plane parts and some bits of metal.
Long path ahead, good luck with it and I'm here for the journey with you no matter how long it takes!
P.s. God save the King!
Not to be that one annoying facts guy but … its long Live the king if there is a NEW king or queen and god save if she / he is getting old.
@@PerJonsson. He's a new King who is already an old man (he's 73). I think both are valid at this point.
@@shadowtheimpure age is but a number
@@shadowtheimpure lol in that sense it’s actually true
@@PerJonsson. There is a dead queen at least.
A very satisfying episode for me as I'm a radio systems field engineer and a pilot, so pulling panels and striping wiring apart would be such a fun time for me. I'd love to design and build the new panels and make up the new looms of internal wiring with you guys, but I'm way down south in tiny New Zealand, so getting to you is a tad difficult with that large pond in the way!
I'm looking forward to the upcoming cockpit building episodes and especially when the newly rebuilt engines get installed and then cranked over, roaring into life, to make the glorious sounds of a twin 6 cylinder symphony!! Only a Merlin V12 beats the sound of a couple of big flat-6 cylinder air cooled aero engines! 😍🙂 Cheers, David.
Whatever amount you pay Joe it's not enough, he is a talented man I can see he's a good one you definitely lucked out on having him with you 👍 love the progress can't wait until the day you guys have that first flight it's going to be so cool to watch! God bless!
It’s amazing how much work and effort you put into these videos
RR hi from Alberta Canada. Anyone who claims to love aviation has got to love this channel. Even from a distance it feels so good to see an abandoned aircraft (something I just cant understand) receive the attention it deserves, going to be a winner when complete. Gotta tell you how much I enjoy the long episodes appreciate all the work behind the camera that makes it happen. Some of the best merch out there.
Thank you for posting these videos on that 401. I look forward to seeing her fully restored and flying. All the best to you. Be safe.
Jason, I have been watching since you started the, will it run 401, project. I have been in the electrical field since 1975 when I joined the Navy. I was a shipboard electrician on an aircraft carrier, CV-61 USS Ranger. My last two years,1979 and 1980, as a flight deck electrician. Most folks do not know that white wiring is a special wire type that has a very durable wire coating. If I may offer some thoughts to your future work on this project. You know by now just about all that you will be doing to this plane. I would recommend that you organize your actions on a timeline. Like a check list with projected times for starting and completing each task. This way your followers can follow your progress and know when you plan to complete each section. I think you might have more help from the viewers if they can plan when to come. Finally, we will know when you plan on completing this project. I like Jimmy at Jimmy's World, but Jimmy has failed to do what I have just asked you to do. Viewer do not know if he will complete the 310. Ron Ross Tulsa
Around the 23 minute mark I chuckled. I've been wondering, for several episodes, why you guys had not laid some plywood temporary flooring down!
Good job guys, I'm glad to see that you're not cutting any corners. 🙂 The plane is gonna turn out awesome!
Now I see why it takes so many months to complete a project like this. Thank God Joe is on the team. The parts going back together will be so rewarding😌👏🌌 hope the parts are being tagged and placed in order for the refit to go as smooth as possible
After months of watching this I'm still hooked from day one, loving the tear down and rebuild and the electronics is my favorite part thus far keep up the great work!
Been here since the day you got the word you could have the plane if you could get it started. It’s been a fun journey watching you get this plane rebuilt and rescued!
Thank you for being part of the crew Rick 👍🏼
I wonder if the guy who tried to sneak in and buy it is glad it didn’t work out for him after seeing how much is involved in the rescue (if he’s been keeping up.)
@@rebuildrescue I have a idea put your CZcams logo on the nose of all the planes you have like a seal of approval for to be in the rebuild fleet or my personal fav name the “R and R” fleet
(R and R)=(Rebuild and Rescue)
Joe and his signature long screwdriver!
Saves reaching. Smart man.
Man...what a project...so nice to see this bird being revamped.. and that plane knows ur trying to save her... she will serve u well...
Glad you are keeping the radar, my uncle had a 310 with radar and saw it when I was in grade school in the '83ish time frame; I thought it was the neatest thing at the time.
Great work, Jason!!!!! 401 is going to be soooo sweet when it’s done!!!!!
Can't wait ! Thank you for your comment !
Jason...just a comment from a person that has had people working in tight places such as your 401....get a portable air conditioner unit about 15000btu. You can run the hot air discharge to the exterior. These things are about the size of a mini frig on wheels. They work great and will cool a plane in no time. They cost less than a thousand dollars. I have had my current unit about 5 years. Give it some thought. Take care and stay safe.
i got mine for 150 second hand lol
Fingers...good call. I went for a new unit because I wanted attachments and didn’t want to be bob the builder and make them. I even have a second unit in my tool trailer to keep my Doberman comfy. Cost was not my point as we all can go either way. I can’t understand why shops in warm or hot areas don’t think of the working crew. I live in Florida and it gets hot and humid but I would do the same if I had a facility in the desert. It just makes sense to me. Have a good evening, stay safe.
Yeah or at least a ventilator
@@sdtok527 You mean a fan, don't you ?
Wow. Joe is very skilled. I am glad you have him on the team.
What I especially like is your pace! Slowly, consistently, carefully and thoroughly!!!
Good to see some progress - one day, you'll run out of birds nests to clear! Your comments on the screws made me smile and think some things don't change; RAF Bomber Boys used to describe the Shackleton as 10,000 rivets flying in loose formation... 🙂
Wow, it's really turning into a full rebuild now, and down the rabbit hole we go..without oil pipes in the dash!!
Looking through these videos at all the work you are doing, it's stagging to imagine what it would have cost to pay a company to do what you're doing. It's also amazing that you don't even need to take notes as you tear it down. I gutted the interior in my car once for cleaning, and I still had issues remembering how everything went back in. Can't imagine having to do that with an airplane lol
A very daunting task, with so many points where many people would have thrown in the towel. I'm pleased to see you are sticking with it.
Joe is a smart man!!!
I amazed at how this project has progressed. It went from getting it to run so that you could keep it, to a complete and thorough rehab.
Can't wait to see dis baby fly💯💯💯
I got overwhelmed just watching you and Joe...IMPRESSED 😎
Everyone needs a Joe in their life. He's so Awesome
Joe is an exceptionally skilled guy. I watched him remove and replace a steam gauge Mitsubishi MU2 panel with state of the art instruments. Impressive!
Go Joe!
Love seeing the 401 continued progress and thanks to Joe for sharing his wealth of knowledge! Thanks for keeping it so focused on the projects! Rebuild Rescue is one of my favorite channels on CZcams!
We are glad you are here with us Matthew ! Welcome to the Rescue Crew👍🏼
Very nice episode!
Man I have been waitin on u ready to see what we got goin
Thank God for Avidyne, The kit you are putting in the plane is amazing electronics.
Im itching just watching you guys rip out Rockwool With no suits on 😅
Good work on it
Loving it, keep it up
Awesome work guys! You’re doing it right can’t wait to see it finished and flying.
We love you lil Joe, Sam you guys are amazing!
Good to see you’re keeping the WX radar! That thing will save your bacon more than once I guarantee.
We'll see. I see a newer version coming their way soon. Especially since the panel is corroded and the wiring mouse eaten.
The more I watch you work inside the Pheonix, the more I think you should get that cargo door of the non-donor plane in the Sep 2, 2022 video and adapt it to our 401.
Oof. That would be some major structural airframe work there. You don't just cut a hole and slap a cargo door on it
That’s a mahoosive and expensive job, bet just the plans would cost $4,000.
@@CaptainRon1913 the US Navy learned this the hard way. At depot level, they doubled the size of the main hatch on P-3A Orion BuNo 149673 but added no structural strengthening. On its first takeoff, torque nearly twisted the tail off. After strengthening, 673 had a long career as a test airframe, but kept the 4-degree twist in the tail for the rest of its existence.
Great to see you walking again...
I love seeing old stuff become new! This video entrances me! Great job!
Thank goodness for Joe....he's a legend!
Loving these rebuilds, you take pride into what your doing, not cutting corners! love from the UK!!!
Thanks so much !
@@rebuildrescue keep it up!
The 401 is coming along nicely!! Great job y'all!! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting on the next one!!
Joe is brilliant, a real proffesional and an asset to the team. The 401 is coming along well, great videos, looking forward to more and of course the end result.
I only watch your videos with this plane as topic, so I sure do hope so it'll fly again :-D I love it
Wow, I'd love to see how you guys are labeling/storing all the parts/screws you're going to reuse.
I’m not seeing a lot of labeling.
I would have a sharpie labeling every panel and trim piece holding that headliner up before it got completely removed and the direction it’s installed.
All the fasteners need to go into a labeled baggie.
Without good labeling and pictures, reassembly is going to be a nightmare.
I’ve been watching and following you on this 401 project since you first bought it and boy “what a mission!!! Can’t wait to see it complete and ready to fly.
You guys are awesome.
love your videos 👍🏼
Joe is a star......cant imagine how he knows so much.....very clever. ...and great to see Sam too....a great bunch of guys.
That awesome. I would have loved to meet you guys here. I'm in toledo,OH. Not far from brandywine. Your guys are so awesome.
love the series
Really starting to see progress.
Really enjoyed watching you both working on the main instrument panel, very interesting to see, thank you for sharing this part of the rebuild.
Glad you enjoyed it Bob ! Thank you !
Stop at the Big Box 📦
Store and P/U one of those Portable Room A/C Units on Wheels. They A 8inch Flexible Hose that Comes Out the Top, Huke Up the Other End to the Emergency Window Exit. Like Come On You Are A Man of Very High Intelligence 👏 You know That you Have Way too many Hours Left Inside of the Plane.
Glad to see some progress being made 💪🏻
@@mmayes9466 Still in the removing parts stage... I suppose getting all new instruments doesn't count to you as "return to service standards"?
You are not normal. You are geniuses. Bravo.
😂🤣
Thank God for Joe! Joe must an amazing asset to the rebuild team!
Man, that mass of tangled wiring looks so daunting to me. It must take some kind of experience to confront all of that and take it on.
One wire at a time. Doesn't help that there is "abandoned" wiring stuffed back behind the panel from upgrades/repairs, because it was too much of a PITA to remove the old wire run. Compare this mess to when they finally get back to putting it all together correctly, and it will look a lot better with neatly bundled harnesses and all properly fixed down.
@@MrJest2, couple of hundred lbs of spiral wrap, it’ll look pretty nifty 🤣😂.
Seeing as how almost all of it will be replaced it's not that big of a deal. Wire up the new components as they go in.
Of course she will fly again :-)
I am really glad to see Sam is sticking with you all to see the (his) 401 come back to life in more glory than it ever saw before. I know he will be so happy to see it happen.
I find this renovation fascinating to watch, just because while I've been an airplane geek all my life, I've rarely seen much detail about the construction of modern aircraft other than experimental kits - which aren't quite the same as a commercially produced airplane. Each episode holds new and interesting tidbits of detail I find utterly captivating. 🙂
Always interesting
Thank y'all so much for recording in 4k. I LOVE seeing all the details of what you're doing so clearly. These are the episodes I keep coming back for.
And a big thank you to Joe for sharing his knowledge!
Thank you for coming along with us on the channel Michael!
When you ever get done the 401 will be like a new plane. Thank you for sharing
This has to be the most satisfying episode of RR I’ve seen untill now..
Tbh i feel bad for ammo nyc for the hard work he put in just to rip it all out but I get it needed gutted due to the birds and mice etc .
Nice to see the progress tho and going through every inch of the plane :)
That was purely for YT views. Anyone with half a brain knew all the interior had to come out. It did make it safer to work inside at first tho!
Can we please have more videos of this plane
I saw your first video and knew you could restore the aircraft just lots of time, I am glad it worked out
Just an honest question. No knock to you or your mission. Have you actually completed any rescue? So far, we have seen a boat, plane, another plane, another plane, wings. But nothing completed to date.
Make sure to leave room in the panel for a sweet 8-track deck in your 1969 plane!
This is insane all that has to be done! WOW!
Great work! Thanks Joe!!!
I love these vids
Thank you Will👍🏼
