Today on Rebuild Rescue we are reviewing a huge discovery regarding the 401 A that will completely change this project! After discussing what this new information will mean, we go through several items on the list of requirements to be able to get this plane airborne again, such as checking the flaps, folding the gear, and removing the broken tail to be replaced later on.

Only 1c back for desiel SUCKS
You got both engines to start! So it's YOUR airplane! So if you want red carbon fiber, put red carbon fiber in it!
Are you instrument rated? Even if you're not, spend the buckazoids to put an IFR panel in it! You won't regret it!
Oh, and glad to see you out of the wheelchair and back on your feet! w00t! :-)
Mike patey!
Panel should be Brushed Stainless Steel overlaid on Aluminum
@@EliteGeeks Panels, themselves, are generally flat black to prevent glare and give the instruments the best visibility, though I don't know of any reg. that dictates the color of a panel.
When you are re-installing the wing gap fairings (between the fuselage wing stub and the inboard wing) BE SURE to use the correct countersunk screws. The standard AN 507 screw (used on inspection panels) is not strong enough. The parts manual calls for AN 509 screws. These screws have the same shear strength as a standard AN3 bolt. The gap fairings are a structural member transferring wing loading (from the top and bottom skins) to the fuselage wing stubs. This error cost an A&P friend his job.
Hey Rex thank you for sharing that info with us. 👍
I’m an A&P. How did it cost him his job if that is what the Cessna parts manual calls for.
@@michaelbooher339 if you re-read the comment, it says that the manual calls for the stronger AN 509 screws, and points out to NOT use the standard inspection panel screws. Implying that the tech used the standard panel screws that are used all over the rest of the wings, instead of the ones the manual called for.
@@darksunrise957 You are correct. Duly noted.
I was about to say that as well👀👀👀
Joe is so freaking cool. I am a medical research instrument technician, he reminds me sooo much of the old dude that trained me up years ago. The mannerisms, even his features, and especially his sense of humor. Would love to learn under Joe!
Lucked out with Joe!
"trained me up"? Does that mean you can be trained down? Asking for a friend.
@@jimdavis6833 yes, at present times that is what schools are for.
It would be a nice idea to add a section on the rescue website about the team members, get a bit about them, pics, previous work etc...it would be nice for them to be recognized more. Do it for everyone that helped making this possible with their ideas or elbow grease..
@@jimdavis6833 Depends on the teacher really, I'm fairly sure I've been trained sideways buy some people in my past. Went in and out of the training course knowing exactly same things but minus some life they stole.
I love this guy when you tell him to paint the cockpit in carbon fiber LOL. A hug from Spain
The first example where I haven't instantly groaned at the "This changes everything!" statement massively overused on YT. Finding the maintenance summary GENUINELY changes everything! Great work, the dream is one major hurdle closer to reality!
We are absolutely excited !!!
@@rebuildrescue
Of course you are. In fact, excited may be too weak a term, ecstatic I should think is more the case. Over the moon and all that. The amount of time and money this saves is just wonderful. Speaking about wonderful, it's nice to see you walking about again Jason.
Love joe!! Please have him on more. Not only is he a cool guy, but he seems to know a ton of knowledge.
We’ve all been learning so much from Joe and love hanging out with him. He’s going to be on the channel with us more over the coming months.
Joe is amazing and gem of a find!! Love it whenever he is on your show. Keep it up great work and great story and goals. Huge Rebuild Rescue fan AZ!!!
@@rebuildrescue
Jason,
You really need to read the comment in this video made by Eagle 201 about the removal of the wings! He seems to know what he's talking about and I was afraid you would miss it without me reminding you.
Is there an equivalent to the CarFax History Report? But for Airplanes? Something like a digital log book each owner can use to keep a copy of their logs?
I helped do an annual on a 401 once. Alll the inspection panels (Every. Single. One.) were removed. All the floorboards were removed, the empanage panel was removed and the cables were inspected. The structures of the flaps and control surfaces were inspected for missing rivets. The gear was swung a cople of times because some to the linkages were out of adjustment. The flap transmission needed to be relpaced for some reason. Every single screw was replaced as most of the origional ones were corroded or buggered up in some way. In all it took most of a winter to do, and was the most screwing that I've ever done in my life (mechanical or...otherwise). I can still hear the Dewalt cordless screwdriver in my sleep.
Kudos for doing this one right. It's a lot of work.
Also, control locks are your friends! The rudder on those things don't take too well to flopping about in the breeze.
I can appreciate your effort.....former Cessna Parts and Service Mgr......next Level is having a 414, 340A, and a P210.....all in the Hangar at the same time. Long Days and Long Nights! Luv the (Every.Single.One.) That's just how that feels!
The Navy calls an annual a 364 day, and I saw quite a few of those during my 4 year tour in EA-6Bs. There is a cascading inspection schedule, starting at 7 day, and getting progressively more involved from there. 7/14/28/56 etc...
@@muskaos i feel you and your service ....i always wanted Military guys over Tech school Grads.....you have the Grit, and solid Opinions when $hit hits the Fan, and our Whole Company is in the Jackpot.....ooooh Rah!
Lets get this Pile off the Deck, Soldier!
Fantastic job, I love to see others giving back to their communities. I've been on our local airshow committee for 20 years and I've been asked why do you
put so much time and effort into it and my answer has always been that my community has been good to me and I feel that I owe them. I'm not rich, but I have skills that
allow me to be of help.
So keep up the good work and can't wait to see this bird soar again.
Since we 1st were called on to support this rescue I've been Really impressed with the endurance, generosity, and goodwill of all involved.
May the Foundation and all it's beneficiaries be inspired by the fellowship displayed to continue "paying it forward" large or small in the same Spirit, for many decades to come.
Belated Happy Birthday to Sam, without whose Generosity none of this would have occurred !
The people redoing Aviation101 panel and wiring is doing a hell of a job. I would recommend getting with them on the panel and wiring
I posted the very information you're talking about before I saw your post.
Yes I agree 💯 % they are doing amazing work you must check them out
Was just going to comment this!
I agree yall need to look them up and I'm pretty sure there in Daytona Florida
Correct- It's Daytona Aircraft Services. They're great!
Never been so fixated on a series on CZcams. You guys always get a video out as I get home from work great way to wind down
same for me mathew
What is freaking amazing is that all the nesting was brought in a couple of pieces at a time. I mean, it's not like ordering a truckload for delivery from the Garden Center at Home Depot. Gotta really appreciate those little creatures. 🐦🐤🐥😁
Flying beavers.
I shall not think those thoughts, naughty, naughty, naughty.
They are certainly dedicated, gotta give them credit there.
Begs the question: What do you do to prevent them from coming back???
Some hard workin birds.
@@jaykellett2327 Keep flying.
Joe is such a character, he should create his own channel!
It would have been very interesting to know the weight when you first located it and the weight once you finish cleaning all the crap/nests out of it.
Probably a good 100-200 lb difference
A buddy of mine does weights & measures for Cessna. This too interest's me.
I’m sure there was at least 100 pounds of bird debris in there. Maybe 200
I'd say that bin full is only 3-4kg, no more then 20lbs total imo, that stuff is incredibly light due to being so dry, I pull old nests out of my bamboo every year and they are very very light...
Who are we to question their methods?, they've been flying a lot longer than us.
Love this series - and getting to witness the growth of both the 401 project as well as the Rebuild Rescue team is absolutely phenomenal! Glad to see Jason is up and out of that wheelchair!
It seems that all that has happened during this rescue would also make for a great book. Perhaps with "behind the scenes" information. I have loved watching every episode, and I think I haven't missed any. Thank you for keeping this interesting and non-dramatic in the way so much media is these days.
Just a tip I learned watching Larry's videos over at AMMO NYC. When you use an ice blasting machine the dust gets everywhere. So it would be a good idea to cover the other planes in the hangar 😉
Can it be done outside the hanger?
@@jaykellett2327 I believe it can be done outside yes. That would be the easiest approach cleanup wise.
If you remember, because I repeat it every time… I am recovering from a stroke. Each week, worries move me to despair. Then, I watch the episode. After that, I know that just need to start over and not give up. Thanks.
Hey Christopher…. Glad you’re here with us Brother. Keep your head up and keep working at getting better. We’re all thinking about you and pulling for you 👍
Love seeing Joe on here. He's a cool and laid back guy that just rolls with it. It would be nice if I could be more like him while I'm working on something. I'm not there yet 😂
Although I ended up as a musician, sound producer, and a voice over, I did start life in engineering doing a marine engineering qualification (for 200,000 tonne tankers, and no, I don't see your motorboat as a yacht!!!). So, it was really nice to see your friend using a good, long screwdriver and not something powered. Impact drivers are great, but if you don't know what you are playing with, they can cause damage too. Working by hand is more intuitive, safer, and better engineering! Brilliant stuff, guys, from this old bloke in the UK. I am loving these progs. If you ever want some cockney or London/British (even posh) voice over, just shout. I love helping out good causes.
Right, I'm thinking it has to be at least 60 feet to be a yacht, maybe 80. And no boat with a V berth in the bow, is a "yacht."
color me impressed
It's totally amazing to me how the birds find every nook and cranny to build a nest. It's wild. It's like they got in and just explored.
I was thinking about how many birds made how many trips, one straw at a time, to fill that tail.
Pretty sure that’s from vermin and not birds
You have a great resource in your (35 year) experienced A&P AI. I’m sure he knows the weak link in twin Cessna landing gear is the intermediate link for the nose gear Extention/retraction rod. The idler arm bolt (located in the vicinity under the pilots feet)is prone to shear resulting in the nose gear not extending. Many a twin Cessna has been scraped because it ends up on its nose destroying both props and engines. The bolt wears from pilots extending the gear at too high an airspeed and eventually shears. There is a Service Bulletin on reinforcing the structure in this area also.
We decided after swinging the gear and seeing that it didn’t retract properly that were going to pull the entire assembly and rebuild it along with both main assemblies…. Last thing we want is to land the 401 on its belly !
@@rebuildrescue
That is the right way to do it. Given the total amount of blood, sweat and tears, along with the plane's weight in hundred dollar bills, not doing a full overhaul of critical systems would be just silly.
@@0GreatMerlin I would not say silly since the mains function perfectly, not overhauling the nose is silly, mains are not required per manual
OMG! GAME-Change!
Ask Jimmy (Jimmy's World) how he got his (donor) 310 flying and to where it needed to be!
Great find!
Yep, he has one of the 42 different ones he's messed with flying, the shinny bullett thing.
It's absolutely insane how effective birds are at getting stuffing material into tight spaces.
Use to think shrink wrapping cars, boats, planes, for storage was overrated... Not anymore! Still can't comprehend someone that would let this set and rot outside, at airport, without any prep... Even left cockpit vents open! Even a little Duct tape, here and there, would have helped... Someone would have had to be paying for storage, or property owners would have had it hauled away for auction, or salvage. Owner had too much money...
@@mobulusmoby3864 Yeah no kidding. Imagine owning something that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and literally just letting it rot out on a runway somewhere.
I'm really really glad to hear you are pulling all of the control surfaces and replacing the bearings. I've been watching since the beginning and it is good to see how your attitude has changed to understand what it takes to get this proud old bird back in the air.
Don't believe him, this is a scammer using the same logo mate
love the history find you have found and yes, it's a game changer to see this video. also, it's great to see sams plane coming along too that I see in the background video as well. got to love joe and i thank him for his time and knowledge
Jason it made my day to see this progress on the 401! So good that you found that paperwork. I'm so excited to see your plans for a foundation and especially helping underprivileged kids get exposed to flight training. You are an amazing young man giving back to others unselfishly and I hope to be able to meet you someday. It's been a dream of mine to attend at Oshkosh but my current state of health is holding me back. God bless you Jason and thanks to all the people and businesses who are supporting this project.
I’m sorry you wont make it to Oshkosh…. Make sure you don’t miss us Wednesday for the live CZcams broadcast at 11am CDT
Where is your booth?
I can't tell you how much I am enjoying this series. I Can't wait to go FLYING!
If you need a 74 year old Grunt to just remove screws, give me a call.
Loving this restoration. Cannot wait to see it develop and takes its wings to the sky again.
How exciting to find documentation to allow you to recreate the log books. It sounds like a lot of time has been saved in getting the 401 up and flying again. I think saying "darn birds" would be an understatement. Perhaps a world record for bird nest material and bird poop left in an airplane! Great job...can't wait for the next episode!
Glad Joe is back!! Great dude, hope he’ll be a regular in the videos!
When he first puts the flaps down, Joe is like, you can hear the pump working 😅 it's electric flaps with no fluids to it
the only hydraulics on the plane are the brakes
Really appreciate Joe and his years of experience and knowledge.
As much as you have to vacuum stuff, you should have a "Shop Vac" sponsor!
100% !!
Thank you for the quality content. Can't wait to apply what I learn here on the show for myself.
Hello, Episode 1 popped up on my 'Suggested videos' feed yesterday and today I completed everything you have posted on this so far. I am a B1 (european version of A&P) from the UK and ex-military, so most of my experience is on Fast Jets and C-130's. This has been a fantastic set of videos and I'm glad you are taking me along for the ride. I look forward to watching this plane come back to life. Keep up the good work and I'm glad you are healing well after your skiing accident.
This series is very instructive as to how an airplane is made and what can go into bringing one back to life. I almost think that they should have moved it into the experimental class for a short period of time. During that period they could have replaced the gasoline engines with Sterling engines and used the bird nest material to power the plane. ;-)
.
Thank you for watching Darren…. It’s been one heck of a journey so far.
You had some rough luck through this project, and wreckin' yer Knee, but your persistence, and enthusiasm earned you these maintenance records, increases the value of the plane......and fills in any doubts about exactly where the airplane is, mechanically. Great Find!
I pulled over and asked my wife to drive when the notification popped up. I want to watch while it's fresh....😂
Love it !!!
Holy cow finding all the records for from the annuals up until the plane was parked is huge! I can't imagine how expensive and time consuming it'd be to get everything inspected and re-certified so you could start a new log book. Now you have all the information to legally recreate the logs using the original data that was entered into it.
Thank you so much for your explanation. He didn't really do a good job of explaining why the find was so significant - Now I know. Thanks!
Glad I could help. I'm not a pilot so I may have over simplified it a bit but without a logbook everything on the plane has to be reinspected because there's no maintenance record. Having the original records from the annual inspections and other maintenance let's them start a new log book because they have all the information (or at least the most important) the original log book had. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can explain it better but that's the basics of why it was a huge find for them.
thx, now I understand!
Who would've thought! 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks. You are quite right. If the paper trail is not there, then the process was never done. Even if you can see that the process was done. Documentation is king, just like with any military program.
I'm actually just impressed with those industrious birds. They didn't care at all about your owl.
Sounds like you need to get a cat!
Joe is also really cool!
Don't believe him, this is a scammer using the same logo mate
its like finding a heritage paper for a classic car like your austin but with this one? damn that's freaking cool
Just happen to stumble across the first video of this series last week. All caught up now, I am very much enjoying this. I grew up close to a small town airport. Spent many days hanging out with the folks there. Now, in my 50's planes in general still are a major interest of mine. Would love to be able to assist, but looks like you have plenty of skilled people helping out. Unless you need a guitar built...lol. Which is my hobby/small business. Anyways, I am going to try my hardest to make it to Oshkosh next year to see this plane make the arrival. Keep up the great work, patiently waiting for the following videos.
I've never been so dedicated to keeping up with the progress like I have with this 401 project. Keep up the good work. It's been a blast eo watch. Ben from Orange Beach AL
Thank you for being part of the Rescue Crew Ben !
I love keeping up with this build I can’t wait to see it done! I hope it doesn’t get rushed and comes out perfect. I’ve wanted to be a pilot since I was 5 and this series really got me to look into what it will take to get my ppl and cpl. love the look of the 401!
Don't believe him, this is a scammer using the same logo mate
That shop vac deserves a raise. It does hard work on this channel!
It's amazing how quickly it's all coming together. In the early videos I thought your projected timeline was insane. Turns out it still is, but you have tons of support and resources being made available to you by great people.
I’ve been waiting finally another plane vid
been really digging the resto on this 401! can't wait until you get her up in the air! Good to see you getting around again too.
You should get a certified award from the Audubon Society because the 401 served as a National Bird Sanctuary for so many years.
This is such a great series, I enjoy watching each one. Can't wait to see the dry ice blaster and what it can do. You guys are doing some really great work. Quick question though, with so many screws, why don't you guys use screw guns or drills to run them all out vs. manual screw drivers?
Don't believe him, this is a scammer using the same logo mate
@@masco26 There has been a lot of those lately hanging around youtube.
Only after seeing the close-up of the lowered tailplane do I realize that this is a really big aircraft! Wikipedia tells us: The Cessna 401 and 402 are a series of 6 to 10 seat, light twin-piston engine aircraft.
Been enjoying the series. I know this is going to be a long time before its complete. I have had a love for flying as far back as i can remember. What you are dong with this project is amazing, and what you want to do with it when its complete is even better. As for when you will open up a panel and not find signs of critter habitation, that might not happen until after your second or third annual. No experience with rescuing abandoned vehicles my self, so just guessing. You can reach only so far and until you put some hours on it in normal operation and shake all the lose dirt and what not down to the low points you may still find signs of past residents.
Keep up the hard work. looking forward to seeing the old girl back in the air doing what she was meant to do. Want to wish you calm winds and clear skies in all your ventures.
A lot of rebuilders use Ziploc bags to put all their fasteners/small parts into then just label them with a Sharpie etc and keep everything together and organized.
It would surprise me if it is not only possible to replace the spar straps with the wings off but it is the easiest and best way to do it. The only reason that company told you that it must be done with the wings on is to make sure you don't realize how easy it would be to do it in house. They want to make sure they get your business because there aren't too many 401s still in operation so they don't have very many people looking for that service from them.
👍new episode yes, i love watching these
I am so happy seeing the 401 getting worked on.
The 401 birds nest. The gift that keeps on giving. 😁😆
It's black to prevent glare and blinding u that's a big safety thing above the clouds the sun's always on u. It has to be matte no shine or the sun's going to reflect
A fun gear swing to do is the Beech Staggerwing! The tailwheel is pulled down with a cable, and pulled up with a bungy!
Those airplanes are so awesome !
There were some fun airplanes in that day. I myself love the looks of the Stinson Reliant.
I can't wait to see this plane flying helping those in need again. Thank you for what you are doing to get this plane running and safe again, thank you too the previous owner for giving it away to this channel be rebuilt and to be put back in service to help others again.
Don't believe him, this is a scammer using the same logo mate
@@masco26 thanks, yeah I figured it out when he started asking to much of personal info and wanted money for shopping
This is one of the most interesting projects i have found online. Good job man, i really want to see you flying this old airplane :)
I love your project, but would love to see more action [work] and less talk. You tend to repeat things 3 and 4 times, almost like trying to fill video content. When you say you are going to make wood blocks once, then make them. We will understand as we watch you make them.
Truly this, say it once, and explain the work as you're doing things,
I don’t mind it but maybe he could try voice overs
Agreed 100%
Heck na
nah i like the extra talking tbh, it makes us feel closer to him in the workshop, i do understand what you mean from a practical point of view though, but these aren’t tutorial vids, it’s a journey
I’m so excited to see this 401 repaired and flying! Will it ever be repainted when work is completed?
He said he plans on getting it re-painted in previous videos :)
Yes! We are planning on having three paint jobs drawn up and the viewers picking their favorite !
@@rebuildrescue But hopefully not red imitation carbon fibre....
@@rebuildrescue Every time I hear of viewers picking the favorite, I'm reminded of a certain quarter-billion dollar British polar research vessel that nearly ended up with the most internet-y name ever.
Smart move having the paint scheme options picked ahead of time. Can't wait to see this thing flying!
@@battz99 🤣
Joe is a great addition to rebuild rescue family
as someone who dreams of learning to fly, this is interesting to see how the plane is all placed together, the bolts are important etc. thank you so much for creating this and all that has gone on and who all is involved to make this a super hit. i hope to fly someday and maybe a multi engine is in my future. love to learn all about the airplane through this. great work everyone.
As I was watching this, i was surprised by just how many panels there are and how many rivets. True steam punk in design.
Get your license Daniel. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life.
I noticed when a person was cleaning the engine pod mounts area and he was using Scotch Bright on the bare Aluminum structure. You should consider applying Zinc Chromate or Equivalent to protect the metal from corrosion. Is there a plan for that before you reinstall the engines?
Just strip the entire plane to bare metal and then have it anodized. One company used to do a great shade of green.
But yes, an improved passivation over just bare metal is a good idea.
I doubt that anodising the whole plane would get approval. Anodising removes some metal and weakens the part slightly. Not something you want to do to an aircraft part that wasn't designed for it.
I can't believe you found the papers to make it legit. That's amazing, Jason. Looks like the Phoenix is gonna fly again, "soon" ™. Can't wait to see it next year at Osh Kosh.
Going to watch the live on Wednesday, unable to get to OSH this year. Safe travels, brother, enjoy EAA!
We are absolutely stoked to have found that paperwork. Can’t wait to get this bird in the air once again ! Looking forward to meeting you one day Brother 👍
@@rebuildrescue what are the odds that since you found the notes from the annuals that the last A&P that did the annual might have the log books?
@@rebuildrescue Same here, brother. Would love to participate in some of the flying charities!
Also, I really think red carbon fiber for the panel would be sick. lol
@@russellsmith3825 funny you mention that as I’m going to see him at Oshkosh this week…. !
@@md4droid would love to have you with us on some missions…. I think red carbon fiber will be amazing !
Dude. Careful on the color of the panel. You want a background that does NOT interfere with your eyes ability to quickly locate lights, switches and gauges. Most panels are grey and black for that reason.
‘Cool’ should never take the place of safety… ever.
“I want the Austin” What a great find with the history of the 401 enabling you to re create the logs. The more provenance the better. Must add value to the 401.
Bruuuuh!!!!!! The “support” for Others is what keeps me Watching… military brat that dreamed of flying passed everything but vision🤷🏽 If I couldn’t fly then I’m not going to West Point😐 My Cousin was a commander in Navy, flew fighters during Dessert Storm….. Keep Grinding Brother 💪🏽 Big UPs from Dallas, Texas 🤘🏽
Can you get any type of surgery for your eyes ? The support coming from so many folks from all over has truly changed my life and many other already…. I can’t believe what this old 401 has done so far….
Hell just to ride is fine these days . 56 years old and going through 2nd bout of Cancer🤬 People like you give me Hope, not for just Me but for ALL OF US. We Do come TOGETHER WHEN IT COUNTS🤙🏽
It would have been neat if you had the ability to weigh the plane before and after cleaning to see how many pounds of debris came out of the plane. Love the build can't wait to see take off for the first in 13yrs. 🛩
Or he could'uv just weighed all the trash that came out of it.
I don’t know why but seeing the Phoenix being cleaned and vacuumed is very satisfying.
I've never been overly interested in aviation, however I do like aircraft and the engineering that goes into them is interesting. But I have found myself fascinated with this restoration because of the history of the aircraft (good and bad) and most importantly I have enjoyed learning about the mechanics of aviation. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to this beauty taking to the skies.
Be cautious about ice blasting panels, I know a fuselage that was written off being ice cleaned😥
I just realized I probably controlled this plane back in the 90's when I worked in the towers of CDW and later in TEB before I transferred down to DCA and then PCT Tracon.
I was in the tower back in 96 I guided down a 707 flown by a passenger because the flight crew were incapacitated by contaminated fish with multiple engines failed, failed landing gear and fuselage blowout.

Jason, I could hear that ShopVac begging for mercy. I can’t even believe how much bird crap there is in there. Incredible. Nice work! You are amazingly resilient! Keep up the good work and have a safe trip to Oshkosh.
I believe it may be time to retire the shop vac….
It’s done it’s job 🤣😂👍🏼
Welcome back to another episode of the Vacuum Show! Great work and great episode as usual! Super informative, even for newbies.
You could put on sale all the bolts and parts that have to be replaced. I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of people out here who would like to have a real original piece of the 401 on their bookshelf, desk or whatnot. You maybe even could sell epoxy cast-in bird crap (not to me though).
Hi Jason,
I'm really shocked that Sam didn't remember all those important log records were in those file cabinets. I can't imagine anyone forgetting something like that. 😒😒😒
AMAZING! Finding that information is so amazing. It was clear how excited you were. The enthusiasm is amazing. Now you have so much less work to do and the date of first flight I would imagine is much much closer. This video also brightened my day. It means you are this much closer to the good, clean, fun your gonna have. Plus, the angel wing flights. I wander if Make A Wish foundation would be interested in sponsoring local flight for those children that would be interested. Just another idea.
Jason, I used to be a Quality Assurance Technician for Submarine systems. Finding that paperwork is a gold mine.
Have you weighed all the stuff you have taken/vacuumed out of this? It would be interesting to see just how much weight there was in it.
I wish we would have…. I’d estimate 100lbs at this point.
🛫📖🛬
G'Day, Brother,
So glad your leg is well and you're doing great.
For the sake of all of the aviation buffs (flying and non-flying) and everyone that contributed anything to the rebuild cause of the 401,and the generosity and expectation of its owner;
I appeal to you to stay focused on this job to it's completion.
Average folks really get disillusioned when other non-related episodes seem to take preeminence.
Your vision for this Bird's future is such a noble and wonderful plan and can really affect and change the lives of many people.
Cordially&Best wishes

Congrats on the documentation find. This is gonna save you a bunch of time/money.
I need to take a peak in joe’s tool box. That ridiculously long screw driver.. his torque wrench arm.. what a legend.
You should have a battery tender always hooked up when the battery sits for weeks.
We actually keep the battery unhooked as were not certain about the condition of the wiring and the last thing we want is an electrical fire in the hangar.
@@rebuildrescue that won't replace the drain from running electrical motors and no charging system. Hook the battery tender to the battery without the battery connected to the plane. U gotta keep the actual battery always up to state of charge especially after running large loads like the flaps and landing gear.
Yes because of you and all your friends this bird is so beautiful
How cool, to find those records! This is nothing else but a real blessing!
We all know the true hero in this show is that vacuum!
We’ve been thinking about naming it as its earned it !
@@rebuildrescue It is truly the Mother Sucker.
You can talk and work with out all the talk breaks it would flow better. In the industry it's call talking with your hands! What that means is talk as your working.
Shut up dude. His channel, his format. If you think you can do it better, then go do it and upload it.
Thanks for sharing a little personal history. Makes your work all the more meaningful to me.
Gotta say...just found this playlist, and what you're doing is truly inspirational! Definitely earned my subscription! I wish I could do what you do. It looks like hella fun!

Please do not make such shitty click bait thumbnails. Thanks
OMG, you actually rediscovered part of this bird’s identity!! That’s freaking awesome Jason! It makes the whole plan a lot more realistic. Did a small dance myself! No doubt anymore it’s gonna happen! Yaaayyy!👍👍💪🇺🇸
I like it.....you're getting to work again on this plane....don't stop....I want to see the final construction of the plane.
Just discovered this series 2 days ago and absolutely BINGED it. I'm glad to have cought up before you got her flying, you've got another loyal insta-viewer here lmao
37:30 for some reason is so satisfying. Cleaning up bird crap from such a beautiful construciton...
When your vacuuming like that have a dry paintbrush in hand to agitate the dirt free. Great channel, cheers for the updates.
Can't wait to see this airplane fly again.
