After over a year of downtime, the crashed Piper 235 is finally hitting the skies once again! It has been a long process up to this point, but we're hoping the hard work will be worth the sacrifice once we're climbing away from the runway faster than this airplane has ever before! Will we have a flawless first test flight or will we encounter more work needing to be done? Find out in todays episode!

@rebuildrescue The official aviation terminology is "climbs like a homesick angel."

What is going on with the 401? Haven't seen much on it lately.
Best thing you could possibly do for that bird is a constant speed prop. I had a 235 with one and it was a great machine! With the engine work you did you would find the performance outstanding!
Can’t hardly wait to see more work on the free abandon 401
Love to see more on it ! So the completion date will come sooner I’m itching for y’all to get this done it’s a beautiful plane !!! 👍😊
Man Jason, that 235 is a beauty, so glad you rescued her, she flies like a rocket. Another awesome episode, thankfully you didn't have to use the grass brakes to stop. Can't wait until next week.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for tuning in this week, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Congrats on getting her back in the air! Looks like it flies great. Can't wait to see the next video!
I don't know anything about aviation, but in one shot of the plane. It looked like the right wheel boot was shaking quite a bit. That could be the vibration. Enjoy the show. Good stuff!
@@OutlawAlaskan It is not this plane.
Love that paint and the clean look of the engine and compartment bulkhead.
Just realized I just watched a 29 minute video advertising a used aircraft. Polished and ported y'all! :P
Are the 401 updates gone and in the wind?
This looks fantastic Jason. Congratulations for all your hard work and belief in what you do. It was a just great to see how much you enjoyed flying the Piper 235 again. I love it. I'm in the UK and a Spitfire flew over this morning! What a great day! All the best man.
Thank you for all the support Andy! We wouldn't be here without you and the rest of the Rescue Crew constantly keeping the faith!
Nice job guys. Smiles all around.
Nice job on the 235. I'm surprised you didn't install an engine monitoring system and a constant speed prop with all the performance you added with the new engine. The next owner will love it.
I need updates on the 401! That's all I care about.
That particular plane doesn't really wanna stop flying. She gets cranky when you try to land her.
Simply brilliant!! Many thanks for sharing. Keith
Glad you enjoyed it Keith! Thank you for stopping by the channel
Great Jason!!! another good job. Congrats for you and the team.
Great looking aircraft. Congrats to you and the team!
Thank you Brother! Glad to have you here this morning!
Anyone else notice the right whell during takeoff at 19:49 start to shake? Noticed it again at takeoff 24:05 as well. Is that normal?
It actually looks like the exact same clip, but yes, I see it too now. Loose wheel pants perhaps
So happy to see the crashed airplane flying again. I am sure she will get a good home. ❤ she looks great!
So are we! It's awesome to be able to fly her again! Thank you for watching and supporting 👍🏻
Is it a constant speed prop
@@user-bu5jz2mm7r No. fixed pitch.
@@user-bu5jz2mm7r NO!
was highly anticipating 401 this sat.
His priority is making money and getting views, not on ever finishing the 401. RIP to the person that believed in Jason too much
1000 feet return to the runway? You don’t know if that is possible until you practice it with a CFI. Every airplane has an altitude where it might make it back and below that you won’t. What is that altitude, you need to determine it. Brian Schiff has a procedure for determine optimum turn back altitude and AOPA Air Safety Foundation did a video on the “Impossible Turn.”. Their take away, depends on the airplane, the environment on that day, and the pilot on that day. I do an FAASafety Seminar on the Impossible Turn and I highly encourage you to practice this with a CFI. Your brief and mind set should be When the engine quiets, not If the engine quiets.
Im glad you got it back in the air!!
Saturday Awesomeness, good Saturday morning guys!
Good morning! Thank you for your dedication to the channel, we hope you enjoy this weeks episode 👍🏻❤️
Right wheel shaking like bent rim on take off!
I’m delighted to see this little cherokee flying again guys, and it does so well! It’s a gorgeous plane again, great job👍👍
Good morning! Another saturday surprise has arrived! I feel bad being unable to watch the video today 😭 Can't wait to get home tomorrow morning and watch it! Have an Amazing and restful weekend everyone! ❤️🫶🏼
Thank you for stopping by Stoyan, every week your messages bring so much positivity to the channel! Can't wait to hear what you think of the episode👍🏻
I know right. If I can't watch a new post immediately, Im not happy.
I was seriously injured in line of duty in England. Went through a rough time, & yet my neighbours bengal cat who is very shy came over & was with me until I got a little better. The cat saved me
Thank you for your service. I’m pleased to read you came through it.
That is a cat for you. Aloof but I think they can read are Aura and come to give comfort and even healing. God bless you with Love, Light and Laughter.
In the line of duty, in England? Cop, Fireman, Ambo, what?
Hello I dont know if you have God in your life and I do not want to offend you if you do not but if you do God does send Angel's in the strangest form to pull you thought Bless you form the UK
Thank you for your service brother, I too was injured and was gifted a dog by the Marine Corps League who literally saved my life. Buddy was with me for a long time, helping me learn to walk again and forgive myself for those brothers that I felt guilt for that they did not make it home, when I did. Those who’ve served, know the experience and why one would feel this way. Buddy would sit in front of my wheelchair and bark like crazy until I’d get up and take a real tough lap around the house and he’d do silly things to make me laugh, when I was feeling down, or feeling sorry for myself. God I loved my Buddy, he was my best friend for a long time…. Sadly, he passed away. Our animals become a great part of our family, and most of all they love us unconditionally.
When I was a kid I would look forward to Saturday moring cartoons. Now that I'm an adult kid, I look forward to Rebuild Rescue!
Thank you Joel! We wouldn't be here without you and all the positivity you all send our way!!
Nice to see the plane flying again.
Greg did amazing flying... everyone else tho may keep the cockpit a little more sterile during taxi, take off and landing.
And the landing gauntlet has be thrown down! No more pounding the ground Jason, greased landings only.
🤣😂👍🏼
Nice to see it flying again. Also nice job of not bending it this time.
So you picked an interesting day to go for the check ride, good dense air if nothing else, but glad to see no icing.
Another one in the bag. Looking very nice inside and out
Great to see the plane in the air! But before you get all happy about repitching that prop fast forward to a nice south eastern PA hot and humid July afternoon with full tanks and nearing that useful load. You might be grateful you have the prop you do. Sure, in the nice cool late fall/early winter air it climbs like a homesick angel but not in hot humid air you can wear. Great channel!
93Whiskey sure is a beauti
Greg is just TOO COOL. Ya, he stuck that landing. NICE!!!!
Jason, well, keep practicing... ;-)
Cheers
hi Jason, at 19:50 look at the vibration of the right wheel !!! by the way, great job man, congratulations!!!
Limerick looks beautiful, congratulations. First phoenix is Flying!
We're so glad to have you apart of the Rescue Crew, thank you for watching and supporting!
Greg got his wish - you didn't kill him! Nice powerful plane you've got there. WooHoo, another plane rescued! Keep 'em comin' ☮
Nope he killed someone else though.....Only kidding
Congratulations on getting the 235 back in the Sky. It’s a testament of Rebuild Rescue and your commitment 👍
Don’t crash it this time and you won’t have to fix it 😂😂😂
Hi Jason, love your videos, try to watch them every Saturday. It would be nice if you could mention how the 401 is coming along. Just a minute or so. Thanks
Nice work Jason, I did notice in your video of both takeoffs you have a shimmy in the right main gear early in the takeoff roll, you might want to have a look at the torque link bushes etc.👍
Joe pulled it out by the prop. I was taught, ALWAYS treat a propellor as live. The was a man at my training establishment that had no face, it was just a flat surface. He didn’t treat a Hawker Hurricane prop as live.
Lol planes don't start on there own.so someone would of hand to start it with him infront in order for that to happen lol
I am happy to see you on this stage of accomplishment 🙏👌good job 👍🏾
Thank you! We are glad to have you apart of the adventure!
Piper makes top notch GA aircraft…love this one!
great video. great plane, you guys fixed her to the 9s. great plane for someone wanting one. Jason im surprised you dont keep her for your daily flyer. thanks for the video i really enjoyed it. Larry
Damn I miss the 401
Same, havent had a proper substantial video on it in ages.
yeah I don't think the 401 is ever going to be finished. notice that now they release one 401 video a month with most of the episode is jason rambling, and lunch breaks. barely anything is done to the 401. I think they're gonna milk that thing for ages..
I'm sure they are still doing things but yeah, any video we do get now included very little actual progress.
Seems like too busy buying and selling other planes to make money.@@quaiacka
Nice work guys, she's a beaut Clark!
Like a homesick angel....beautiful plane,best GA site.
Hmm is it ok for that right wheel to vibrate this way during take off ? It happens on both take offs.
Anyway it does look pretty, just like it came of the factory floor.
Jason, never push or pull on a prop. There are some aircraft that can be damaged easily (E series Bonanza) but any prop can bend and be out of track with excessive force. Just not a good idea. Since we are all creatures of habit it’s best just not to ever touch it while maneuvering the aircraft.
More joy in the air!
Success!
Super exciting to fly her again! Thank you for following along on our adventure!
CONGRATS, WITH YOU BEING HAPPY MAKES ME HAPPY, THANKS.
Thank you for being apart of the adventure!
Great job boys!!!
Love to see her back in the air. The first video I say do you guys was getting the 401 I’ve since watched every video. This channel it what made me want to become a pilot I now am working on my ppl and eventually I will go to Embry riddle. Thank you so much for all that y’all do. This channel has helped me learn so much.
It was great getting her back in the air! That's amazing to hear with your PPL! Thank you for being apart of the Rescue Crew and believing in all our crazy adventures, we wouldn't be here without you!
Bro don’t go to riddle.
Congratulations, now let's see the free 401 airplane, with the 2 engines, fly Good luck and all the best very happy to see things falling in to place
Hey Jason, the first landing you performed with the rebuilt 235 was a lot better than the landing before it. That being said the landing you did when you crashed was great because you were able to walk away from the aircraft and then rebuild it. Anyway great video. I love airplanes. I just don’t get to spend any time with them.
The 235 is back in the sky!! It's overhauled, climbing and cruising fast! Congratulations for completing the Rebuild and Rescue of it! All the labor, hard work, and dedication are paying off! Keep up the Great work, and have an Amazing and Successful week ahead! (If I was Jason, I would've had the same dilemma whether to sell it or not. 😂👍🏼)
From a grass cutter to a queen that is some experiment. Nicely done sir Crack on Next
Can’t believe you didn’t do the 3rd window STC. Really makes them look more modern more light and better visibility
We love your show. Keep it going
Good work
I look forward to waking up Sunday morning ( Australian time) to watch the next video instalment . 👍
Far out, this thing hammers and it's fixed everything.
Just so you can feel really happy, for reference I flew a 200hp PARO (Piper Arrow) which had a CSU and retractable undercarriage that only cruised at 135KIAS @2500rpm and 24-25" manifold pressure at 4500 or 5000' that MIGHT climb at 1200fpm.
Funny thing was on a good day you could sometimes get 140-145KIAS at only 22" but that's the constant speed prop advantage I suppose, however for planning it was 135kts.
True it was only 4 cylinder, though they do have a fairly high wing loading and get along at a reasonable speed for what they are.
Was a great plane in turbulence that Arrow though. It would really punch through with ease.
I’m pleased to see you back in the air. All I could see remaining is to color match the front wheel pant. What a beautiful example. You guys did a good job. Anyone who wants to buy the plane has the advantage of watching the work done on it.
Great video.
Hi Jason.
The last seconds of the video were hilarious; you, speaking to Ch235 as a friend (witch in most cases is), and feeling sorrow for letting her go, is simply touching.
I´d like to asume most of the restorations of the 401.5 (401 + 402 / 2) are booring, however, for those who subscribed more than 2 years ago BECAUSE of the 401 Sam gave you, are (at least I am) curious about the progress, therefor a near update will be highly appretate.
BTW: the cherokee looks amazing and the upgrade made her better than she was before. Well done to all the crew who put their hands on deck!
I wish you well. As always, cheers from NE Patagonia, Argentina. Side note: I recomend you and your GF to visit my country once the main projects are done as a reward for your hard work. The food is incredibly good as well as the diferent landscapes to see. Did you know we have one of the most beautifull watterfalls on the planet?
Interesting repair rescue. Enjoyed the show. I'm with the Argentinian below who would also appreciate status reports on the 401's progress even if it's waiting for parts or whatever. No complaints though! Interesting and enjoyable episode. Thanks for sharing.
Porting & polishing should be part of any overhaul imho. Combine that with a tuned Powerflow exhaust for max power boost.
I thought the Cherokee 235 had a constant speed prop? It was the predecessor to the Dakota which had a cs prop.
Everything's coming together for you🛠💪💫 bless you brothe🦅
There is something satisfying about a freshly built engine starting up for the first time. Souped up aircraft engine, Now that's awesome ! No wonder you had that sinister laugh at first firing !
Bro I don’t know how you do it with that Greg guy. Talk about a buzz kill. Jason’s all excited and he’s straight up like Wednesday Addams with zero expression. I couldn’t
Great Vid.
Success!!!
Super exciting stuff! Thank you for watching Brother
Happy Saturday y’all! It may be cold, windy and snowy where we are but hey, it’s nice to sit by the heat and tune in to some Rebuild Rescue. Thanks for another great one!
That's awesome! Thank you for making us apart of your weekend!
401 PLEASE! come on now Jason, lets see some real progress soon, pretty please with sugar on top!
Well done my boy😊
FAA Med watchin that link! Stay safe everyone! They comin for you!
What a SWEET airplane! I'd be really tempted to keep it. Of course, your budget will have to dictate what you do with it.
What is this? Not one but two projects finished? Guess that proves the doubters wrong. You can finish a project. Lol. Just kidding. Great to see her flying again. Anxiously awaiting more 401 content.
Always a surprise on a Saturday morning. So happy to see that one get back in the air.
Hope my RR fam has an awesome weekend! Can’t wait til the next one.
We are so glad to have you along with us for every adventure ! Wouldn't be the same without you and all the positivity you bring to the channel!
Awesome to see the plane in the air again
Question from someone whose sole source of aviation knowledge is this channel: what does the crank in the roof do? I see you guys turn it every now and then during flight
AWESOME JOB GUYS. GOD BLESS. JOE I LIKE YOUR NEW SMILE. 😁
Got to paint the nose pant. Congratulations awesome!
No round out or flair.
Nice!! New Hot rod in the sky’s 🏁😎 congrats RR Team👍🏼 Enjoy!!. 👋🏼
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed!!
prayers for everyone involved
I miss free abandoned 401 Saturdays 😢
RR, you have raised at least 245,000$ on the 401 go fund me page plus the advertising. Whenever we ask about updates for the 401, these comments are ignored. With the amount of money that has been raised, why the ghosting when it comes to the 401 or the super short videos? Just be open and dedicate an episode to where it’s really at, a timeline for completion. Over 11k have donated to this project. I can’t speak for everyone but just being provided an expected timeline to complete would be great. We hear that it takes a long time and that there are issues with parts but nothing specific and shown to your 11k+ donors.
Doing a nut and bolt restoration on a twin engine Cessna far exceeds even the donations provided. By producing more content he is able to stack more ad revenue to finish it. Keep in mind that the restoration is also a modernisation with a glass cockpit, electronic fuel, oil, and engine management sensors, newer wing spars and upgraded more powerful engines. I doubt he is intentionally trying to ignore those who invested money into it, but sometimes it pays to be quiet and show the results.
It will never get done you got hosed on donating.
I am not an A&P but I have worked with some and have a little experience with GA maintenance. It’s very difficult to guarantee when a plane will be airworthy. And that goes for a routine annual inspection required for a plane that was just being flown on it’s last annual the previous week. You just never know what will need replacing or mending; and new parts are still exceedingly difficult to find. There’s a lot of back and forth between A&P’s, suppliers, owners, etc. It’s a process that takes weeks, months, and sometimes but rarely years.
Now look at the scale of the restoration and general condition of the 401 at the start. He made a video recently about how a single sheet of metal held up progress on the tip tanks for weeks, while they waited for new parts. The only way to reliably avoid this is to just have a warehouse filled with basically every 401 part next door; but this isn’t realistic or cost effective.
This project is going to take years, there will be entire weeks where no progress is made, and any kind of “update” is likely to be wrong. Not to mention when you give a UA-cam comment section an update and then you don’t deliver; everyone accuses you of being a fraudster.
If you have any experience working on planes (not cars, tractors, or boats; but PLANES) you’ll understand. It’s the only machine I’ve spent literal hours trying to loosen 1 hard to reach bolt and considered the afternoon a success when it was removed.
there are videos of its progress its gonna take forever. This little crash took a year.
Yyyyeah about that money……..
Awesome plane ❤
Go back and watch the video starting at 19:48 the right main looked to have a significant shimmy on takeoff roll
Another excellent video. Beautiful airplane. Tough break on the first test flight. Pun intended, but it’s great that you found the issue when you did. “I have a friend that’s addicted to brake fluid. He says he can STOP anytime. 🤣
😂🤣I may have to borrow that one! Have an awesome weekend Steve!
Man, with this RWY in front, TD on the numbers and at normal Landingspeed you definitely need no brakes.
Excellent job .. question if you use the bigger engine to get better performance - would it impact the structural integrity of the airframe? I may need to visit the therapist!
didn't use a bigger engine.
I like when I get diverted to Heritage, just look for the huge cooling tower smoke and fly towards it. There's a lot of gliders and RVs out of Heritage.
If you need help with A&P work I am one with 20 years of experience from the Air Force.
Awesome video! You guys are living the dream life.. I have to settle for with my beloved flight simulator 😳. Well, that´s also something... 🤣
Seriously, this is my favorite channel! Thank you for all you do! This channel is what inspired me to get my PPL. Your channel does so much for GA! Keep killing it! You're an integral part of my Saturday mornings :)
That's so awesome, thank you for sharing! Our favorite part of the channel is hearing from you guys! Keep us updated on your adventure as we keep you updated on ours!!
GREAT Project all done... Good Luck with it's Sale ';-)
Love the 235, great rescue. Well done. 🍻😎
Good that you are progressing through your training and closing in on your check ride. Good luck.
Thank you for all the positivity you're spreading on the channel Thomas! That means a lot👍🏻❤️
@@rebuildrescue pilots are weird people and clearly you are weird like the rest of us. I want you to have that piece of plastic and to argue with friends over different FARS. Go get em.
Cool to see it’s finally back up in the air. Amazing work and thanks for the video take care
