We Got This To Work On The Free Abandoned Airplane !
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лис 2023
- Today we will be fixing and rigging up the cables and pulleys that work the flaps and ailerons. Hopefully if we get everything right we’ll be able to move the control surfaces from inside the airplane for the first time in months! We are also getting some work done on the Piper Cherokee 160, going for a flight in our Cherokee 140, and doing some maintenance over at the Mr. Dent shop. Check it out!

I think by the time it's done, it might be worth an honorary designation of "401.2" in recognition of how much the 402 has contributed itself to the build
Good idea!
More like 401.8 or something. All that's left of the original 401 is the cabin/fuselage. Everything else is from the 402.
40½ 😄
you got to love Sam he is great
Its great to see weekly progress now. Each piece that goes back on is one step closer to seeing it fly again! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for all your positivity !
yacht video please i need more @@rebuildrescue
That's some little knick you got there.
I like the creeper that allows it to sit up some. Nice
I Can't Believe How They Destroyer This Beatifull Planes ✈️🛫 It Was Nice When It Was Original Green And White ↗️ And Dark Yellow Interior With Those Seats
Why are they greasing what appear to be sealed bearings on the pullys?
Wow watching you lubing the pulleys with the grease 33 with bare hands amazes me😂😂. Keep up the good quality videos, amazing project👍👍
I want the Austin. I feel so invested in it. I would truely cherish it for life. I would pass it on to my children. I would get a plate that says mini 401. I really really really want the Austin!!!
"Starting to not like airplanes"... I loved them until I built my own. When you build, and are responsible for your own maintenance, the "love" can start to fade. I completed my plane 6 years ago and I've reached the point that building and maintaining my plane has sucked the joy out of flying. I never expected this to happen. When you read or watch videos online everyone seems to paint this rosy picture of how great it is to build your own plane. That may the case for a few, but I think many just don't want to admit how the time and effort become just too much after a while.
Serious question. Were you a person who always enjoyed building and fixing things before you began building a plane?
I hope you're keeping all the broken and replaced parts, so at the end of the build we can see how much of the original 401 is actually flying!
So good to see all the progress on the 401. Everything that gets done is one step closer to getting it in the air.
We get more excited every day! We won't know what to do with ourselves when it's done!😂🤣
From the Wright brothers till today, cables and pulleys, are the secret to steerable flight
I'm only 20 minutes from your hanger I'd love to come see the plane and assist in some way!
Been binge watching for a few days now!
Whoever films/edits your videos really does an outstanding job!
I second that. Brilliant job on both filming and editing
Great job with replacing a lot of $280.00 Parts that makes it 100%. Then getting all cables and pulleys to 100% and right the first time!
Not to mention working on parking lot, getting parts, painting and installing an elevator on the other air plane. You guys have been busting things out this week!💪
My favorite UA-cam show ,by the way where is my Austin car ?
A little dab of contact cement holds washers and spacers in place really well. They come off later quite easily also.
I’ll have to give it a try next time 👍🏼
Masking tape works well too!
My flight instructor always taught me a quick and easy way to check controls everytime. I see people always check free controls but I don't hear them say correct before every flight. Easy way is to grab yoke or joystick with one hand, doesn't matter which hand....stick your thumb up while grabbing. Turn the yoke to one side....your thumb will point to the aileron that is supposed to be up....and other side should be down.
Man, that's like building an airplane in a bottle. Love the bloopers. Fingers crossed.
Congrats on getting the hardware installed! Loved Jason's cat-like reflexes while wrangling that renegade bolt. Always looking forward to the next one. ☮
Thank you!! 😂😂 See you next week Brother!
In the old Buck Rogers TV show, the wicked Princess Ardala confronts Buck with a cyborg copy of himself. It being the 80s, the two promptly try to fight, with Buck finding Buck2 is his equal. "Ypu're good, Buck," says Buck2, "but I have your skills and your mouse-like reflexes." Buck, "Mouse-like?" Buck2, "Correction, cat-like". Buck, to Ardala "Got a real winner here, Princess."
Say I would like to call attention to the aileron trim setup. I was flying one of our companies 401's one morning and noticed the aileron trim tab was vibrating... I could feel it in the yoke. The piano hinge on the trim tab had actually worn out. You will want to inspect it very closely, this trim tab had passed a zillion 100 hour inspections. I was the first to notice and squawk the aileron trim tab vibrating in flight. This was back in the 1980's.
I use heavy grease to hold washers in place when in a tight situation like the aileron and linkage install.
Wooo whoo!! Almost have a fully functional wing. Every episode I watch makes me want to head out and help with the Phoenix even more. Great work guys. Great painting technique, Joe.
Newer pubs show pressing bearings in with non-curing primer on either the hole ID or bearing OD. This is for dissimilar metal protection. Although the way it was originally done there was no primer and no corrosion. Keep up the good work! I always preferred saving an old one verses working on new one. Also when rig is done neutral will be correct.
Like eating an elephant, one bite at a time! It is so enjoyable for all of us watching this old bird coming back together correctly! Jason you are commended for being so hands-on and having the intestinal fortitude to see this project through! You never disappoint, unlike another channel I used to watch that over-promised and under-delivered on a 310. Keep up the GREAT work, and Joe is an AWESOME asset to the project, as is Greg and all the rest!
Couldn’t do it without them or you and the rest of the Crew Brother ❤️🙏👍🏼
I think I know who you are referencing "J world"
@@62heliman
Jimmy's a really good (enthusiastic) pilot, though.
I love his channel...except for that "Elvis piece of junk".
Something that amazes me watching all this is the complete lack of grommets. I'd have thought that rubber grommets would be used all over to stop cables from rubbing metal on metal.
Dear Jason,
It’s so good to see how you and Joe are going forwards with the restoration of the Cessna 401. All the wings and rudders are like brand new installed and all the steering cables seem to run absolutely fine. It’s a mile stone forwards and I can’t wait till this beautiful technically is finished. Of course than there still is a lot to do before she really can fly but your to do list is getting smaller and smaller. I therefore wish you and your team (with special thanks to Joe) lots of success with the rest of the refit and send you love from the Netherlands
Thank you for always having kept the faith in us Brother! Your support always keeps us going!👍🏻
Sam's the MAN....🛩
Thank you for keeping Veterans First on your build
Nice job. Excellent work. Joe's a treasure.
I wonder if we could, in one of the episodes, get an overview of past and future 401 progress? Engines, props, control panel, etc..
Are you also learning to fly a plane?
At 17:45, at $285 for a 25 to 50 gram part, it must have been made out of the overpriced "Because-we-canium"!
🤔😕🤬
Thats Outrageous!🤯
Reminds me of when I was working at a Medical device manufacturer in the mid 1980's making PMMA plastic Intraocular lenses.
The cheapest ones they sold cost the patient, north of $700 each for a part that cost about $8 to make!😱
The Guv'ment eventually made them drop their prices!👍
I'm sure the Owners and Share holders weren't happy about that, but damn, they were "Molding Money" there for many years!😁
Mike in San Diego.🌞🎸🚀🖖
Still kicking myself in the ass for not finishing my Private Pilot training in 1978 when I was 17, when the 1 year old Cessna 172 Skyhawk with Instructor and fuel cost me $27/Hr!
Was just ready to solo when I had to move from Oregon to Arizona for College.
One of the Worst decisions I ever had made FOR me, by my family!🤬😕
Like the soundtrack 😊
I've been wrenching on cars for 20 years and totally unaware of the existence of washer wrenches! I race a formula car with tons of rod ends, looks like they would save me a ton of fiddling. Thanks!
Sitting’ here watching something get fixed,is therapeutic.
So glad you enjoy the videos!
That scrubbing is crazy. Please get a donation of a laser rust removal tool. You also need a dry ice cleaner.
They did have a dry ice blaster idk what happened to it. It might have been a rental.
Cool project
I remember early on, the comments. People harping on about progress. They had no idea. Absolutely zero clue how impossible it is to do something like this unless it is a thorough renovation. Nobody has a notion of just how much work is involved at that stage but people were complaining. It is hilarious to think about those people and the blah blah they were spouting.
Just to say congrats on what is emerging. And good to see Sam there also. It is inspiring what you guys have done to date. Very inspiring. And it is a credit to Sam and everybody else. Just a wonderful job makes me laugh thinking about the Disney Land theme. “When you wish …” you guys are awesome.
We’re getting there slowly but surely and I’m happy you’re here with us ! 👍🏼
This looks like more of a rebuild. The plane was so neglected.
This is awesome. I want the austin.
great job!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Mark!
Wow that's a lot... Oh and I want the Austin!
One step closer guys!!!!! Fantastic!!!!
Thank you for watching and supporting!
I spent 30 year in parts business, the bearing manufacturers always said never free spin a bearing it ruins the bearing by taking the temper of the out side of the bearing some how with metal on metal contact. But it's so fun to do. Just sharing some of my knowledge. Love your show. 👍
IMO, What your referring to is the use of Air..
I like Sam's Sound effects 😆
Great job! I can’t wait to see it completed!
Its been super exciting watching the 401 come together!! Thank you for being apart of it!
@@rebuildrescue thank you it’s been a journey for sure
Good job 😊😊😊
Thank you Ross👍🏻
Mr. Jason, setting up the parking lot yourself then back to hanger working on 401, and there too managing with $285 extra expense and then too smiling.
There's a lot to learn from you Sir ❤
Respect 🙏
Wow
It seems like you are an experienced pilot. Can I ask you some questions?
Nother banger man
This channel really is saving so many people in getting a fixer upper. 😂😂😂
😂😂
I'm with @phil10000, need a full tank of gas in my new Austin lol. As always you guys rock Jason, Joe, Sam and all the support that you have over there. Sat. mornings are started by watching Rebuild Rescue.
Hey Wes! All of us over here at the hangar appreciate your positivity and support👍🏻 Glad to have you apart of the Rescue Crew!
At the rate things are going, a tank of gas will cost more $$ than the A-H.
This is just awesome, how long have you been following it?
@@Neeko-fz1uk About the time that they got the 401, so over a year for me.
@@wessims5534 This is awesome, I'm new here but I love this.
As someone who just reinstalled all my flight controls...I fully understand all the frustration and pain in this video! (all under APIA supervision)
WOW 😯! Getting these control cables rigged adjusted and the control’s adjusted must be a time consuming job. Well done guys. I am looking forward to seeing the 401’s first flight. She will be beautiful. I’ve been following the progress on this airplane from the start. With your labor of love on this ship I’m sure that she has a long and productive life ahead of her. Witness the rebirth of the Phoenix! 👏👏👏🫶🏻
Great job
Bravo.go ahead
One step closer to basically having a brand new airplane! Looks great!
Great, I also have a plan to buy a new plane, what plane will you fly first?
That's quality: the pulley system and new greased bearings. That, the wings and engine; plus (prop).
👉🤪👈
What I love and hate about aviation is that every little thing can be critical. I fly radio-controlled models, but even there a small mistake can cause an accident. Good luck and patience!
Awesome channel, really enjoying the rebuilds as i recover from a horrible fall.
I WANT THE AUSTIN!
Good luck in your recovery Brother, we're all so happy to be apart of your weekends!
On reg. Washers add a magnet too tool, and thin clear plastic to top and bottom of tool with slots will hold washer and let you pull tool out
I really like this project. Been watching since the beginning. Disregard the non-believers and haters. You do you, my friend. Be the best you can be.
Thank you !
It’s getting closer to completion. It will be a real treat to see it flying again. You and Joe work well together and things get done a good working relationship is necessary on a project of this magnitude. As always stay safe and enjoy the weekend.
So quick tip about rental equipment. First, if you have to rent, rent from Equipment Share and support a smaller business. Second, as far as skid steers go, get a Takeuchi, they run and move much smoother than a bobcat.
WoW wants the Austin!!!! 🙏
As an ex Phantom phixer, some jobs require an "attitude" to get done.
Nice job so far, liking what I'm seeing.

Hey guys, so good to see Sam again. Glad he’s recovering oh And by the way I want the Austin. Cheers guys
Control surfaces are best surfaces. Congrats on getting a few more slightly more functional. Can't wait to see this thing high speed taxi. Without catching on fire.
So easy to underestimate the complexity of aircraft. Doing a great job. I keep tuning in waiting to see everything waggling in the right places and the whole plane screaming down the runway.
Will the rusted holes that the cables are fed through erode the cables as they rub against them?
We never had one of those washer tools. We would put a dab of grease on the washer, and a screwdriver so it sticks to it, and push it up in there.. that tool is handy.
been watching for ever from begetting of 401 to now can I still say I want the Austin
She's really coming along in great strides! And I'm happy and proud to see how much attention it being given to every detail... and I want the Austin!
We want everything done right, it is taking a little longer but it is 100% worth it!
Just to tell you I love you guys ! The Plane is a great project……… You’ve made me dream !!! Thank you forever for that
Wow, thank you so much for being apart of the rebuild! We wouldn't have been able to get this far without supporters like you!
There are some tasks that seem, and actually are impossible, but through the power of will and human intention, magically, somehow, they get done, and those parts go together!
Our journey has lots of ups and downs, but you guys always show encouragement and support! It makes it so much easier!
use a dab of grease on the sides of the bearing to hold the washers while you push the bolt through .... the dab of grease wont hurt and it makes life easier ..
i was expecting Joe to do the trailer light test gag ... checking the blinkers ... on off on off .. in this aspect up down up own .. lol
as for the hard on the knees open floor .. make a 2x2 board covered with a few inches of foam padding covered in some old cloth ... then you can drop that into the cockpit for when you knee d to cross in there to check things ... comes in handy elsewhere as well ... and DONT think dirty minded };)
The anticipation is GROWING.
Working on cars and planes is hard work but it's worth it and people love it when it reach to the finish line. I hope we will see the 401 in the sky again, I want that Austin
Glad to see progress on the 401, it will be a glorious day when the 401 gets light and the grass falls slowly away beneath it
We can't wait! We also won't know what to do with ourselves when she's done!😂
@@rebuildrescue yes it will
Leave a gaping hole in your schedule 😂😂
this side's down, funny man Joe, lol
Replace "good" bearings with brand-new ones?
I'm glad you guys have an unlimited budget. 😮
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Thank you for being apart of the Rescue Crew !
Can't wait to see it finished with paint.
Great vid! I want the Austin 😊
Fantastic progress everyone. Slowly but surely. Good job.
Thanks Mark!
I can’t wait for the 401 to fly on the air for the first time how exciting ✈️ I hope someday this rebuild rescue channel riches up to 1 million . ❤
Another important step in the Phoenix! Congrats Jason, Joe and Team! 1 step at a time.👍
Thank you for watching and supporting!
Joe is so much fun and sam too😂😂😂, "Am through with you".
😂👍🏻
and to think you get to reinstall them again after paint...all the fun!
Ugh !!!! 😫😂
Good to see you flying
Aileron cables HOPEFULLY hooked up in the right order!!!
Nice work.
Thank you 👍🏻
I want the austin. Great video of the Phoenix
Thank you for watching!
Sitting down to watch rebuild rescue is almost as good as being there in person in the hangar. I look in anticipation for Saturday just to see what's new for the 401 ! Every time I pass a local aircraft manufacturer I think of you guys. Kudos !
Awesome! We are so glad to have you apart of the Rescue Family, and thank you for making us apart of your Saturdays!👍🏻
I worked as an AeroMech for 30 years. I love this channel, Jason! Thank you for the content. ❤
YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB KEEP ON ROCKING GONNA BE A GREAT TRIBUTE TO THE PEOPLE YOU HELP WITH THIS PROJECT
Besten Dank....and big respekt...for this work---------tschüss bis morgen Danke nochmal
The 402 is a goddess! All hail her sacrifice!
well great job, ive actually never seen a plane disassembled or reassembled so i never knew it was this complicated to do on the control surfaces but you and joe did a fine job. episode by episode makes me want to see this plane flying as you do. thanks for sharing. Larry
Hey Larry! Thank you for stopping by to support the channel, your positivity is super motivating👍
NICE painting job Joe!!!!
Love the show greetings from Norway❤
Awesome! Thank you for watching👍🏻
