In this episode we're taking the Cessna 401 A on the runway to taxi! We checked over everything, moved the other airplanes, and hooked up TUG! This will be the first time in 17 years that the 401 has gone down the runway. Will both engines start? Will the 401 survive a high speed taxi run? Find out in this episode of Rebuild Rescue!

I absolutely second the many other comments on this video, please don't do such cliff hangers. We want to see content about the 401 journey, no reality tv bs...
Agreed. I donated money to this project and I am starting to question that decision now… This is not what I wanted to see
@@palmarhelgitomasson1969 I also donated and hold a similar standpoint. I hope he takes these comments, "The Community" seriously.
Yeah I donated too and not happy about how it ended.
Silly, this is not TV where you cut to an add break. I watch UA-cam content to avoid this nonsense.
Ever since he hurt his knee, I started getting suspicious about this channel. Everything really started getting worse with the videos him trying this awful marketing with his injury, and the "community project" slogan... it just kills the channel.
Dude! We're all here to support your journey on this project. don't turn this into some "cliff hanger reality tv" thing...
Reality TV shit 🤮 Discovery Channel.. got stocks our something?!
Seriously, getting too commercial and contrived.
True, he's been doing this for last 3 videos
I agree, this channel is starting to become too much like reality TV. Ask us to come support his journey and we want to support it, but making this into a reality TV show is going to start alienating his subscribers
"We're all here to support your journey"
EL OH EL, what entails this massive support effort? Was it when you lifted that heavy right finger to click on the video? Or was it when your eyes suffered through a 30 second ad?
Look, he's a content creator who put up a lot of time, effort and money into this series. Let the man do cliffhangers to attract some extra views.
To add to my last comment what I liked most about your channel was just you being you. No script, no gags, no drama. Just a guy trying to get a plane in the air again. This seems to becoming less about the 401 and more about driving for subscribers. There's enough of that kind of crap on YT so how about you focus less of being another clickbait channel and get back to what got you here.... a guy trying to rebuild a plane and bringing us along to share in the journey. Trust me when I say, how you started out is the right formula. Whoever on your team has you going down this path, please for the love of god tell them to shut up or better yet, get rid of them. Just be yourself. That's all you need to do.
Should be called Rebuild Conman
You better release the next one quick. You don't need cliff-hangers like that to keep your audience coming back for this project. Almost all of us will happily come back without the drama.
After that silly crap, I don't need to see any more. It would probably be fake anyway. Like, I don't even know if his leg is even broken or if it's just another scam for donations and clicks.
@@Heathh49008 thought that too myself, fake injury.
fr
A little digging found his personal Facebook page. There is a pretty gnarly picture of the leg.
@@gplusgplus2286 Have a little faith. To insinuate he may be pulling a scam is not cool. And I'm being polite, which isn't easy.
I love it that the previous 401 owner, Sam, still comes by and does his own kind of charity work by taking a cripple friend for a quick flight to some delcious crab cakes. He's such an awesome guy!
🤣
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lolol
You forgot about the bbq at the end
Yeah I'm going to agree with the others, don't turn this into cliffhanger reality TV. I enjoy the content on your channel because of your knowledge and insight as well as the mechanical aspect. The rest of the TV drama can stay on TV.
Hey Guile
Sorry to leave you on a cliff hanger…. I love cliff hangers myself but can see that maybe others not so much. That taxi was very dramatic and especially the ending. We’ll post an update video this week. Thank you for watching 👍🏼
@@rebuildrescue You say you love cliff hanger's? What if after the engine fired the Original owner said to you, 'Tune in next week to find out if I give you the 401 or reneg in the deal.' Then you might get how much we all like this. It's like showing a kid a box the size of the present they want, putting them through the wait till Christmas, them opening to find a card saying TUNE IN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY IN SEPTEMBER
@@rebuildrescue don't apologize or pander to the entitled commenters on your channel. Make the content you love an you'll attract the kind of subscriber you actually want. The cliffhanger was refreshing. UA-cam IS entertainment, as well as educational. You've made it both.
@@rebuildrescue you really dont care what your fans think do you. Unsubscribe.
@@brianbruin7492 i don't think you have to be so harsh on that. He simply made a little mistake and he faces the criticism. i think the next videos are gonna be much better. Give him a chance. We all want to see that plane fly.
I saw absolutely zero reason to do a high speed taxi on that airplane right now. Why? To get it running and stopping and then taxi it around the airport to warm things up a bit, sure, that sounds like a reasonable plan. However, doing a high speed taxi like that was very risky, and in my opinion, reckless. What if one engine had quit, or even more likely, one brake locked up as it heated up (I had that happen to me in a King Air once) and pulled you off the side of the runway? I'm a professional pilot and that incident almost pulled me off the runway on a takeoff roll. While you've left us with a cliffhanger, not knowing what happened, I can say it's no surprise, especially after filling the engine with fuel due to leaving the fuel pumps on. Whether it was gravity from the main tank that filled it with fuel or it was being pumped in every time the master switch was turned on, doesn't much matter as it's pretty apparent the cause is that no checklists are being used in either operations or maintenance. After that fuel in the oil happened, that engine should have been uncowled and inspected before ever starting it back up after that. Airplanes are cool but when they get bent and/or catch fire they can be difficult to get out of, not to mention the possibility of a hull loss. I just think there was too much risk on this one.
I was in aviation for 7 years, we take safety extremely serious. This guy shouldn't be around airplanes. Not having a certified mechanic, doing things without a checklist, performing high speed tests on an aircraft in this condition rather than getting it fixed properly first- its just another version of getthereitits. He needs to keep making content, and this plane will take years and half a mil to fly again, so he's taking shortcuts, changing tires, doing high speed taxis before he's ready just to get likes. It's disgusting and reckless and no one should give him a $.
I really enjoy this series, but I have to say that I'm happy to come back and watch you work on this airplane without you baiting me into it or adding "drama" to things. Just be yourself and do your thing.
And fix leaky fuel lines beforehand. It's a gosh darn airplane, you can't just coast to the side of the freeway and call for a tow.
perhaps he IS drama, it might be like an addiction!
Maybe this is him being himself . 😉
Nah, drama sells, so he will absolutely do crap like this.
Next time you might want to consider an initial test of the brakes by leaving the tug hooked up and doing a slow tow and allow the aircraft to use the brakes to slow or stop both. This will allow you to stop the aircraft if the brakes don’t work.
Love watching the progress, but hate the cliffhanger stuff.
Or check the aircraft logbook for outstanding work!
I would absolutely not recommend this, those tugs weight several thousand pounds if not a little north of 10k pounds. That nose gear will be torn off if you lock up the mains.
@@DM-kf1bt Yep, being pulled and stopping via the aircraft breaks would likely break things other the the forward momentum and I don't think he has found the books yet.
FAA should go and visit this guy !
Damn, this went from a feel good come with us on a cool journey, to a scripted as the world turns drama bullcrap. I feel very conned at the moment.
it's a bit of harmless fun you whiny neek
The Music did it for me, would much rather listen to the Engine than that Repeating Crap.
I was literally smiling when they were taxiing the airplane, right until they said “fire”. Please don’t leave us hanging!!!!!
Someone was just smoking in the restroom, no big deal.

Please don't turn this channel into a reality show. Just be up front man. Your content is incredible the way it was.
Yeah. Sadly, I have a feeling that this is going down hill rapidly for me...
100% I love the authenticity, I hope it remains that way.
I believe he passed that point a long time ago......
yeah...the boner pills right in the middle of him talking pissed me off...
like the airplanes repopulating before he started to bleed the brakes and his wheelchair on the ammo NYC episode?
I've been watching this series of videos since the beginning and things are starting to feel wrong. Given that so much fundamental work needs doing to the airframe (inspections, repairs, re-checks and certifications, for example) I can't help but feel that over the last few videos we're no closer to seeing the aircraft performing the role that we were promised it would perform. Given that many of us have donated money to the project with that role in mind I feel that perhaps some videos of this work being undertaken by engineers and technicians with the necessary qualifications would be more appropriate than stunts and reality TV schtick.
I get that Jason has hurt his leg and this has slowed the project down - that's unfortunate and accidents happen, but having read through a lot of the comments it seems that he may have some explaining to do. It would be a real shame to see this excellent project descend into any sort of clickbait or faux-drama with the intention of gaining views, likes, popularity or whatever. The viewers of these videos want to see that aircraft in the air, doing the job we were promised it would do, and if that takes a while, I feel we would rather wait for content that reflects the process of the 401's journey to airworthiness in the appropriate fashion than watch dangerous and half-baked stunts.
I'm sorry if the direct nature of my criticism seems harsh, and I don't mean to cause offence; I and many other commenters and donators feel that we should be getting what we signed up, and stumped up, for.
Thanks,
Jack
Jack…
I appreciate your message more than you know. I’m sure your feelings are much like others who invest their time with us on the channel. The day of the taxi was full of mixed excitement and emotions. I’m excited to share the rest of the day with you all. The 401 Phoenix will fly again and we’ll take her on some awesome missions.
Thank you for being part of the channel 👍🏼
@@rebuildrescue If you want it to fly again then how about you employ someone who actually knows what they’re doing? This is reckless and embarrassing to watch.
@@PhugoidOfficial I agree 💯.. just because he has a injury really don't apply here..most of the work is going to have to be done by AP's anyway so he should have people working on it.. I don't think we will ever see it fly again
@@stevestevens9046 Problem is with how far it’s gone, most respectable and knowledgable aircraft maintenance engineers probably wouldn’t touch it. I mean who would risk their career and livelihood putting a legally binding signature to this, without stripping it back down to every frame and rivet and spending hundreds if not thousands of man hours on it
@@rebuildrescue Jason, thanks very much for your reply; it's hard standing in the face of criticism and I respect you for doing that. The best of luck for the remainder of the project, sir.
This just officially jumped the shark. too bad, was super interesting. The almighty dollar wins again. When 10% of your base complains, it's just negativity. When 90% complain, you have a problem that you should not ignore.
I'm not a pilot but I am fascinated by aircraft. Originally when I found this channel I was truly impressed with the content, purpose and direction. Now I'm seeing stuff "created for content"... please just keep it real and keep the rebuild happening!!
Bikers actually make good pilots. And if you have a Moto Guzzi, you'd be the kind if student pilot I'd like to train. 850 Le Mans?
Well this really has me perplexed. I certainly hope you all aren't hurt and you managed to get the fire under control before serious damage to the plane.
@@buckmurdock2500 hey mate, no i bought it in 1981 ex Western Australian Police auctions as a T3, fully rebuilt and then rebuilt again into an Agostini replica. I have a 2015 wide glide as well but the guzzi will also stay with me forever. Thanks for taking interest....
I agree but he's struggling at the min bc he's out of action with his injury.
@@76guzzi78 If you get a chance to take a flight in a light plane, take it and tell the pilot you want to try your hand at flying for a few minutes. I think you'll like it.
20:40 That grin on Sam's face says it all. You can tell how happy and excited he is that the 401 is finally moving on her own.
All the while muttering under his breath, "Memmit, I can't believe I gave this thing away." Well, that's just me, and I'm a jerk sometimes, so...
@@edsmith6504 Not sure we can believe he actually 'gave it away' at this point..
Sometimes I think to myself... "Me and my big loudmouth!"
Looks like he let a silent one go, hence the evacuation.
That smile was beautiful to see.
Damn! Scared the crap out of me. As a fire survivor and caretaker of a survivor of a propane explosion, I can tell you there was a lot of worry going on in our world. Your exit from the 401 was fast and necessary. I was worried that you had re-injured your leg. Since I'm a few months out of shoulder surgery and a year out of neck surgery, I have to tell you this was a double whammy! So very happy to hear that you're ok and so is the plane. Can't wait for the next one. I figured you blew a fuel line and had a flash fire. Anxiously awaiting your report!
I’m a serious car enthusiast, and love rebuilding older Mopars, one thing I am gonna do before I retire is buy a plane, and get a pilots license, love what you do, this is almost the equivalent to restoring a 68 or 69 Dodge Charger! So happy to see you restoring this gem!!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you Jesse ! Glad you are here with us 👍🏼
I think this will hurt your channel more than help it grow. I’m excited for your vision with this project, please don’t turn this into click bait reality TV. Many people have given money to support this build, you at least owe them some info on what has happened
Agreed, The cliff hanger moments the past few videos left everyone hanging. They're intention . Personally I walk away from these type of video's and shows after a couple times, "Shame on you for doing it, Shame on me for falling for it scenario" We all have been bit several times. Me personally on the History channels weekly click bait. re: "Oak island" took a historical mystery and turned it into a mini series . Jason, not cool brother !
@@gramps9838 this already started in the second or third episode with that alleged buyer who tried to "steal" the plane
Agreed, this will be the last video I watch because of it.
Yeah. I've watched hundreds episodes of different build projects. As long as I can learn something about a different trade, I keep coming back. I'm probably pretty similar to a lot of the people who started watching this series. The cliffhanger crap feels like a bait and switch. It doesn't leave me excited, it leaves me frustrated.
...and you'll get that info in the next episode.
Is this a rebuild rescue or reality tv?!?! I started watching this channel because of the 401 and hoping to see it fly again, as you’re channel has grown I feel like you’ve become less genuine and with a ending like this, it’s definitely more of a production. We don’t want a production, we want raw and real. I won’t speak for any of your other subs, but one more like this and I’m gone.
Same!
Yep...
I 98% second your above statement!! Minus the "gone" part.... Not gonna give up that quickly... But a continuance will ultimately send me in that direction!
Bye
Same for me. I agree
An old pilot here, I've always loved the lines of Cessna twins....got my multi in a 310Q model years ago. I love to see old airplanes return to the air. Good luck and stay safe!!
I'm also an A&P, watching closely.......................................... LOL
From the UK, still loving the restoration of the 401, I know the video doesn't reflect all your procedures so I accept that some details will be missing, pre start-up procedures, safety procedures etc. There are a lot of unforgiving comments on here, despite you having an unfortunate disabling injury! But when your back on your feet, with your contacts and enthusiasm, I'm sure the 401 will eventually fly.
However, this 'fire' cliff hanger was unexpected and does need an explanation ASAP, glad no one was hurt look forward to the next video.
Great to see, but the end...c'mon
I mean, if there is one thing that is frustrating about this, look at the first about 5 videos before he gets the thing started... a lot of draaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg it out for the sake of views. I get that it takes time, but at some point you have to shit or get off the pot. Five videos trying to show starting ONE engine is frustrating enough...
This kind of ending is just what I've come to expect by him and it's all fake drama. Damn near believed his leg injury to be fake as fuck too... but too hard to judge that through YT videos.
I get having cliffhangers to get people to return to the next video but they could've at least shown what happened beforehand. besides, I have no issues watching the next thing that comes out, i don't need a cliffhanger to keep me drawn in.
Can’t leave us hanging like that 😱 hope all is okay! Been loving the series, was such a shame you got injured
thats how they always get you lol
That's one hell of a cliff-hanger before the weekend. That's not being a tease, that's just being mean to the 401 fans!
Yeah, what FIRE???
Definitely not good!!!!!! At all. Its not a cliff hanger its truly just mean.
I hope and pray everyone is okay specially your leg 🙏🙏🙏…. Listen I’m at work and it’s nice to see EL 401 taxing down the runway 🤙🏼🤙🏼….
It's quite helpful that you get excited and forget steps like bleeding the brakes. I do that all the time and am then baffled, like "really? Did it again?!" Nice to see someone of high capability do the same.
TV editor here... you made a SERIOUS mistake mimicking the braindead facile shit that I turn out for a cheap cliff-hanger, can't believe it.
Your subscriber base may forgive you this one time. Do it again and your dream run is over, sure as death and taxes .
Your viewers have almost infinite choices of what to watch in their available YT viewing time. They are choosing your channel for the simple reason that you are providing an AUTHENTIC non-manipulative and genuinely interesting journey. Your channel exists on the trust that you will continue to do this.
They are here because they DONT WANT to watch the broadcast shit that I am churning out right this minute. Betray their trust again and you're done. Guaranteed.
I’m going to guess that the fuel running through engine 2 had pooled in a location that they didn’t check and the high speed taxi got things warm enough to ignite it.
Probably
Yeah, fuel leaking through the rings should have been a red flag.. Fuel ain't supposed to do that on idle, pistons are press fit into cylinders, the rings are there to stop large leaks during the warming up cycle of an engine as the piston takes more time to fully warm than the engine body does on purpose, seizing pistons in high RPM sound very expensive. Probably when the engine warmed up the gaps in the cylinder got bigger and hot burning fuel got injected into the oil system. hyper-pressurized oil system burst and suddenly with oxygen in it, the high temperature of the engine and burning jet fuel mixed in it, it's catching fire.
@scarletfla...
Dude, pistons are never press fitted- they have clearance so they do t seize in the cylinder.
Piston rings are of two types. Oil control rings and compression rings - neither are designed to be ‘fuel tight’ for liquid fuel and in fact have a specified ring gap.
Fuel under running conditions is mixed as a vapour with air.
and birds nests
@@ScarletFlames1 is this observation based on years of experience or just popped into your head? The only way fuel can leach into the engine case is most likely the engine driven fuel pump diaphragms are toast allowing fuel to run back into the crankcase. Don't know the results of the fire yet but I'd venture to say the engine pump was leaking a lot of fuel past the case drain and it pooled in the cowling though it should run onto the ground through the overboard drain. Who knows it that was even connected. Additionally after sitting for more than 13 years not 17 and given the age and condition of this aircraft a fuel line could have broken spraying fuel throughout the cowling. Flexible lines get brittle with age.
"Accidental" fire burns the plane to the ground so he's off the hook from the impossible committment of making it airworthy. Gets to keep donations. Evil, but brilliant.
The money raised is more than buying a useable 401 or similar the same age. I know some of the money would be used for Angel Flights, well I hope it would, and not all of it used up on the restoration.
If you are really serious about charity work, get the airframe checked and don't waste any more money restoring it if it has no chance of flying missions. The engines work good enough for taxing and don't need the cost of a full rebuild if it is never going to fly again.
You got it started, that was the original plan.
Seriously, I thought they would have done that as soon as they cleaned the plane. Before taking donations of actual money they should have disclosed structural integrity. Airframes are important.
Just found the this channel, this guy is the Patty Mayo of restorations. I won’t waste my time
this channel started out so good. this cliffhanger lets me rethink if I want to follow this or not anymore
The entire project is based around an aircraft that is "beyond" feasible repair, its going to need 500k plus in repairs, this is a project even jimmy's world wouldn't put himself into debt on, I've delved into some of his other content, he got a taste of that UA-cam money and it went straight to his head for clicks.( this "fire" ) is how they are going to try and kill the series, the video is already up too 2100 dislikes ( its his highest dislike count to date). This guy is nothing but filler content for views.... its a 22 minute video with a 2 minute ad spot and 10 minutes of filler.
@@Thatnibbles Do you think the game is up for this guy?
The smile on Sam when you started down the runway was priceless
This was favorite part of the entire video!
@@chriss8784 I was wondering if anyone else noticed how happy Sam was
2 smiles beat it- turning and seeing your bride (or partner) walk down the aisle towards you and...... the very first cry out of your newborn baby..... then that smile ! Proud papa :) wtg Jason - wtg Sam !
The little fire pryie put a small damper on things but bet he got what ever caused the small fire fixed by now and ready to hit the runway again!!
We just KNOW he wanted to pull back that yoke.
Glad to see the 401 rolling down the runway again!.. Jason how about a complete inspection of the airframe next? A list of all the things that need to happen to get her back in the air. This way we can follow along and help you along the way check thins off the list and have some idea when that wonderful day might come to get to watch the 401 leave the ground. This will keep viewers interest if they have some idea as to how long the project might take. IMO I could do without the drama at the end. I am not here for that. Good luck!
This is being done illegally and back-buttward. Nothing good can come of this. Please cease and desist before someone forwards this video to the FAA. Lots of flags down on these plays.
Some people are big babies and start crying alot. Luckily I'm from EU and I love some good drama. Great ending and cliff hanger. I did enjoy it alot!
I'm glad you're keeping Sam involved. I like that he's involved. I think it's important as well as honoring to him. I truly believe I've seen a change in his countenance as well. It would be fun if you just did a 10 to 15 minutes video on Sam's life and background.
I would like to add my voice to the chorus here. I think the reason most people like channels like this is because they are honest and undramatic. This project is super interesting and I subscribed because of it. If you have genuinely interesting content (which you do), the only thing you will accomplish by trying to dramatize it is to make your supporters feel like you are trying to manipulate them. That is a major turn-off to anyone who started watching this because they are genuinely interested in the project. In short, it alienates the very audience that you claim to value so highly. You haven’t lost me yet, but if this trend continues, you will.
I've never been so invested in a restoration in my life. I love this kind of thing but even for the restoration genre this really is top notch stuff!
Thanks RR, keep up the good work.
P.S. Sending best wishes regarding the leg.
Flying for lunch. That's one I have never done. Way cool.
I really loved the show originally but lots of bad decisions being made on every level right now. He keeps saying the show is for you guys but in reality monetization has become the focus of the show, viewers aren’t stupid they know when things go from authentic to contrived and when they are being manipulated
The inevitable conclusion to all this BS is"well, I'm very sorry to report the corrosion is so prevalent that it's not possible to put in a flyable condition. Rest assured all that money will be put to a good use."
Im thinking he already used some of that money for the trip where he "injured his leg".
Exactly what it thought
Looking forward to the next episode, where my feelings that a fire is a convenient way out of a project in which you are WAY over your head, turn to renewed glee at what will be accomplished. Staying tuned one more round.
R.I.P. Sam :(
I fractured my femur in a similar spot when I was a teenager. The fact that you've done ANYTHING in the last 6 weeks shows just how motivated you are. Not an easy thing to recover from, lots of Love from Canada
This tibia not femur!
@@007camera He was talking about HIS femur numbnuts !! He clearly knows which of his bones was affected . Now go take your meds...........
You are learning why A&P's always use a checklist for EVERY maintenance item. With no list things get forgotten and people could die. As simple as a socket left in the belly can jam the controls in flight. Get the maintenance manual and please use it.
UA-cam views don’t require a manual
Exactly. No way in hell I'd get in that death trap, you do this with cars, not aircraft.There is a reason aircraft restorations costs hundreds of K. He will never get an AP to sign off on this thing.
@@TheReadBaron91 He'll need a lot more than YT views if the FAA come knocking!
@@wolfwise44 He just didn't pull the joke (in sight)... still not a plane.
200,000$ ready to be spent on the 401, but he hasn't bothered having an actual A&P(s) come out and genuinely give insight to the actual logistics of overhauling the entire plane. Even Jimmy World's 310 has been a very daunting task for him and his team, which makes this very questionable considering that they're working on a smaller aircraft and have actively been shipping out parts to be overhauled, and still have a ton of work. Not really sure how we're meant to believe making the plane taxi means anything much, like of course everyone probably knew that the plane is capable of moving itself since both engines were already running, but it's something that seems to only matter if you're making UA-cam content, and aiming it at a general audience that doesn't have much knowledge about aviation. It's not more so about the cliffhanger, but more about how dragged out the project feels, even when there's enough money to start sending even just the engines to get overhauled. And I do agree with people concerned about the condition of the airframe itself and if the project is even possible. This is stuff that likely would've been considered if someone was genuinely trying to restore the aircraft, instead of multiple episodes of cleaning and making the engines "work enough".
I completely agree. There are many a&p mechanics including myself that have been commenting on the lack of supervision and the various tasks he is doing incorrectly. This is not some abandoned jeep in someone's backyard that anyone can tinker on and get back on the road. It is an airplane that requires a federally licensed mechanic to do the maintenance or at least be supervising all the work and all work needs to be documented in the logbook after each task is completed. He has done none of it and has actually ignored the comments trying to explain these facts or deleted them as some others have mentioned. I would love nothing more than this plane to fly again but it needs to be done correctly and show the viewers the correct way to do it and show them everything that's involved after losing the logbooks. He is making it look like anyone can go out and buy a cheap plane and wrench on it and eventually fly it. That can't be farther from the truth. The fact that the plane caught fire the first time they taxied it should show that their shortcuts and lack of proper licensed mechanic will end up getting people hurt or killed. As someone who is a licensed a&p as well as a pilot I would not put my name to anything he has done to include changing those tires nor would I taxi it after seeing the work he has done.
Jimmys 310 project is amazing. Very entertaining. Makes me wish people donated 200K to him instead as he actually does work.
@@charlesmilson920 agree 💯.. do you know that he has never completed a rebuild project
@@stevestevens9046 nope haven't watched any of his other videos. I keep watching these because it's honestly like watching a train wreck, I gotta see how much worse it gets. Doesn't surprise me though.
Look forward to the next update, as a trainee pilot I can appreciate the seriousness of an engine fire, there is a shut down procedure in such cases, hope the damage wasn't too serious. As others have commented I have liked the knowledgeable and enthusiastic presentation style, slightly concerned around the ending of the last episode.
As an airline pilot myself I have to ask… how do you know it was an engine fire?
At this rate of restoration anyone over 20 years old will never see the end of it.
Thanks... I still hope to live a couple of years longer (now 50)...
I’m a little worried that you’ve gone about this project kinda backwards because it makes for better videos. I feel like after cleaning it up enough so it’s not a biohazard, it should have been stripped and inspected *first,* then built back from the ground up. I would hate to see after all this effort that the airframe is irreparably corroded or something.
Also, this episode had an absurd amount of filler and can we not do the cliffhanger bullshit please
It will be a minor fire, or a little bit of smoke I'm pretty certain. This exaggerated BS trying for views will kill this channel. I sure hope he reads these critical comments, and stops trying so hard.
I could do without the boner pill adverts as well.
I’ve had suspicions about this channel/project since past the first couple of videos. Your right about the ass-backwards order of things. Some minor cleanup and then a full tear down and inspection by someone qualified would have been the way to do it.
The whole thing should have started with an inspection, good chance there's real corrosion and airframe damage that made even giving it a bath a waste of time. I doubt this plane will fly again without putting half a million into it, and by that point he could have bought 2 of these planes in good condition. The whole thing feels scammy. Dude is just milking drama for donations. Not to mention he just doesn't seem like a safety conscious person who shouldn't be doing anything with a real plane. Get mSFS where you can be am idiot all day.
Well said
Folks really need to stop donating to this project and actually get a refund. It was obvious to me since the first video that the work being done on this plane was be done by someone who clearly does not know what they are doing. From there, it's just turned into a bigger dumpster fire...
Alrighty now you You brought that baby back to life..Hooray for you many 😇😇🙏🙏
I watch TV shows only after knowing that their final season's final episode has already been aired, just to avoid cliff-hangers at the end of each season. And now they're on goddamn UA-cam.
Taking "non-stop flight" to a whole new level.
As Mr. Carlin once said "I prefer my flight stop. Preferably at an airport!"
and why do they call it a cockpit with all the stewardesses going in and out of it all the time? RIP Carlin!
hoping everyone and the 401 is ok
Which Carlin are we talking about?
@@patrickcarlin7396 George Carlin :)
@Nick ahhh, I am remotely related to him. Never got to meet him but I have some of his old belongings
Dang man, discovered the abandoned plane rescue series yesterday and been binging it nonstop (minus a break for sleep and a back surgery that I had today, lol). Truly amazing to see you bringing this thing back to life! I think I broke my right leg around the same time you broke your left, (my fracture was a spiral fracture, so quite a bit worse.) so I quite literally feel your pain! Good to see you up and moving again. Kinda funny too, I actually have the same shoes as the ones you just filled with brake fluid! (Love my Merrells!) Anyway, thanks for being awesome man, keep kicking A's and taking names!! 💪🤘
Mate from Australia please fly this plane yourself when it's air worthy, as much as we love the plane, it's you we like to watch and listen to.
Delay it, do whatever we don't mind, but please, for the first flight go get your pilots lisence and get that bird in the sky
Such an epic channel with an amazing creator.
Can't wait to see what's next. Hopefully the fire was just brake related and easily put out with no damage
Fire with no damage? I doubt this. Not on the airplane.
the project is dead now. irreparable damage
@@swaggytracks or it was never viable to start with and this new fire narrative gives the an excuse to end the 401 storyline
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 seems like a good way to scam viewers out of 200k
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 Just like Kee Bird. That's what they did there.
Something doesn’t seem right about the whole thing. Like, they left the fuel valve on and were going to taxi test without a preflight?
It has been stored outside for a long time in a wet climate. There has been next to no discussion about the condition of the airframe. If the airframe is in fact salvageable, you’d think they would have made a video about the inspection.
I’ll venture a prediction; the 401 series is just a bunch of pointless noise to get people watching their channel and make some money. They know full well (both rebuild and the owner/former owner) that the airframe has deteriorated beyond repair. My guess is that the owner was going to sell it for scrap and Rebuild said ‘hey can we mess around with it for 6 months to make some UA-cam content’ to which he has agreed. I’m guessing they have contrived an engine fire and will then decide that the plane is beyond repair and move on to that boat thing. It is getting close to 6 months since they started making videos about this plane, in that time they haven’t really achieved much of anything.
Plus the fact that in order to comply with the outstanding Airworthiness Directives on this airframe is going to cost at least 300k plus complete engine overhauls makes me think you are indeed on the right track.
OMFG i thought the exact same thing!!
@@clarkpj1 Though, with the donations and sponsoring they should have more than that amount.
So at the end they will end with a restored old plane (all done after this video-series of course), made a bunch of entertainment and a bunch of money to pay the crew for the work and the video-works.
Or if not enough money raised for the overhaul, it can be put back outside for the next couple of years but at least the crew was payed, we got entertained (longer and longer video's for the real things to show) and if someone wants to put money in it it is for sale...
Telling stories that are deliberately untrue and asking for money could be fraud, who knows. I throught I'd liked the show at first but there were too many red flags early on that made me very suspicious.
@@clarkpj1 They already have 2/3rds of that from gofundme, so they’re actually well on the way to having the money to get it done.
I agree with everyone 100%, it has been 2 days since they said there is a fire, with no update that everyone is OK, what is the status of the 401, if there were injuries then someone from the 401 teams should give us an update on all aspects...Seems the 401 rescues are becoming a sitcom collecting big$$%s with adverts for products etc.
Hey Richard !
We posted on update in the comments section on Friday mid morning but it hadn’t been pinned. Updated the comment and made sure it was pinned. We’re all ok and we will continue to work towards the 401 Phoenix flying once again I the future…. I can’t wait to share the rest of the story from that day of adventures !
@@rebuildrescue Still don't see a pinned comment.
Yep. I think it's about time for me to leave.
What a cliff hanger... will they survive? Tune in next week.
Same Bat time, same Bat channel!
you sure about next week ...? 😂
Yep can confirm as they went on to edit and upload this video. I hope this puts your mind at rest.
I might be gone by next week.... We deserve more respect than to be left with fire fire fire for a week!

Interesting that there is no record of an aircraft fire at Chester County Airport (KMQS) or of a disabled aircraft on the runway. I’ve thought about calling Signature Flight Support and finding out what happened.
Do it and post it here
Someone in that plane lit a cigarette and they all screamed FIRE FIRE then jumped out.
I did the exact same thing. No NOTAMs, runway closures, etc.
@@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968 that would be irresponsible at the very least.
It's not interesting at all, it's just gimmicky bullshit that has given me a reason to not watch his videos anymore. A shame.
I used to own this plane 1996 until we sold it. I believe it would have been around 2001 when we sold it. I’m happy your rebuilding it. It was a great airplane to fly! It made many trips to Florida!
That’s so awesome Terry !
If you have any pictures please email it to me

So what's goin on! 401 a charred mess in the middle of the runway? Come on buddy don't leave us hangin!!
This show has been a great journey and I have really enjoyed the episodes. The last few have gone down hill and is starting to feel like a dine and dash. I really hope that all of the donations and funds from this channel will actually let the 401 fly but honestly, it’s getting harder and harder to watch. Good things end when greed takes over. This last episode is ridiculous, why even put it out? There are great channels on UA-cam that have been down this path and then it gets too be too hard to watch because of ads and gimmicks. I do think there was an authentic feel at first other than the amount of production and your presence on the screen, it seems like you have had experience doing this before. Maybe instead of putting out garbage, maybe do a AMA or something to let us know who you really are and what your experience has been. This video with the cliff hanger is too much, next will be buying storage units at auction and finding Rolex’s and “treasures”. Listen to your comments on here. There are other ways to keep adding content and not lose the authenticity of your channel. Instead of just talking about how this plane is going to fly again, lay out a timeline and share with the viewers. It’s starting to feel like you are going to take the money and run, a little bait and switch. Just my thoughts but I think you are heading down the wrong path.
You're right, so many other channels like this eventually sell out to advertisers. I don't like it at all.
I agree but he's struggling at the min bc he's out of action with his injury. Let's hope he gets back to normal when he's able to.
I hope he gets back to normal too, I just think he could have created better content even with an injury. I get that, but there could be deep dives, I think an AMA would be good just to get to know him, his background, a change for everyone to ask questions, it’s more productive than a cliffhanger which has upset a lot of people including myself.
Why put the episode on? Umm, because it was a genuine update about bleeding the brakes. I don’t get the negativity.
Sam is a legend! Always in the right place at the right time! He shows up just in time for lunch, checks the engine oil… what a legend!
So because he pulled a dipstick he should be entered into the hall of fame?! Seriously? If thats a legend to you then you aren’t striving for much…… Carlos Hathcock was a legend…… sheesh you snow flakes today
I think Jeremy was making a sarcastic statement
Keep it real man! We are here for support but this felt different. Felt just as happy with you when she was speeding down the runway!
I'm am so glad I was watching this a year later! I would have been pissed about the cliff hanger! But luckily for me I just watched the next one in the playlist! lol
Was so happy to finally see the old girl moving. I just hope fire wasn't too bad and that you're all ok and we get to see what happened soon.
It was so awesome for you to have Sam involved in this moment, what a treat for everyone
We wouldn’t have done it without him !
@@rebuildrescue you do realize how bad this cliffhanger is being received by the fanbase right?
@@blackbird8632 I do for sure. I’m thinking next time I’ll release the video a bit later and take an extra day or two to edit more footage in. I love being in suspense and looking forward to things. Guessing some folks don’t. I’m also guessing some folks just like to complain and don’t really ever spend much time doing positive things throughout their days.
@@rebuildrescue I think a lot of your fanbase is sick of the “ice road deadliest ice air Alaska” type shows. You know what i mean, every episode must have drama and end with a cliffhanger, i think most of us just want a show where it feels like we are one of the guys.
Non-alcoholic beverage in one hand, handing you a spanner with the other, that kind of feeling. That’s what got me onto your show. And sure some people are perpetual sourpusses but I haven’t seen this many before.
Anyhow, it is not like i’m the one with a successful UA-cam show, i just like your channel and thought i’d give my two cents. Have a good one, hope the leg heals quickly.
@@rebuildrescue I don't think most are just here to be negative at all, criticism can be a good thing when it actually means something (rare these days, I know). In this case, it's that people liked the start of the channel a bit more due to less of the "on the nose" cliffhangers and such. Also, actual pilots in the fanbase (great thing to have) didn't like the safety surrounding all this. That should be addressed as they have very good points.
I hope that you picked up the lunch tab!!
So I love this channel when there is clear start and stop point to the videos, DIY and clearly just going along for the journey of the repair/rebuild process. Leaving off on legit cliff hanger with a fire. Especially after personally being in one, at least give the viewers an update in comments if next vid can’t come out soon. Clearly there weren’t major injuries if there was time to put in a dramatic cut scene with edits.
We’re ok and the 401 is ok. We posted a message at the top of the comments right away on Friday. It was a crazy day of ups and downs for sure. It’s amazing how much smoke some oil will make on a hot header. Thank you for checking in with us 👍🏼
@@rebuildrescue thank you for the reply! Glad everyone is okay!
I can sum this up with one word. WOW!!! How about actually starting to get some real work started on the 401 and put our donations to work. Please be done with the stunt shows.
After 13 years of sitting on the tarmac, it was exciting to see the 401 moving. I hope the fire damage is minimal.
That's what my math said too LOL
Good, I thought my math was off too, lol
Once and for all in aviation terminology....the parking ramp is not called a tarmac. Media gets that wrong just cause it's an airport. Tarmac is a type of asphalt not location. Parking ramp....taxi way. Runway. Fuel platform. Also that's not the correct diamond hazmat placard on the fuel truck. It's aviation fuel. Yes it's flammable . Type matters 100LL. Be well and well informed people
@@conductorretired7153 Thank you!
In next episode: (after 10 minutes of ads and "previously on rebuild rescue..") "WelI folks I actually mistaken fire to a reflection of an aerodrome beacon on the wing.."
Your crab cakes run reminds me of my college days. My friend was doing his pilot training, and another friend & I would accompany him and his instructor, mainly on a Friday. We'd leave from Kgn, Jamaica to Montego Bay, have lunch, fly back, return to school (CAST, now UTech), where I'd go straight into an exam. Great memories.
CAST alum !!!!!! Big 'bout ya !!!!!!
Wow, everyone got so bossy all of the sudden.I do understand the safety concerns though.Sincerely, B
It makes me so happy to see people restore things and Is not just throw them awayOr destroy them. I grew up in a very poor family and we learned that what we have we were thankful for. I also love the fact you have Rescue dog I have 2 rescues Dogs Rescuing things and restoring things can sometimes be much better than buying new
I’m not a pilot, but when I checked the instruments, I noticed the Cylinder temp was off the charts high! Pause at time 21:16. Be safe. Be well
You are right. Engine #2 was sitting in the 500F range, while engine #1 was more normal, at around 270F
@@Skarfar90 was that the one with leaking fuel? Might have been on fire for a while, eh?
Either that or not working properly.
If the fuel guages are correct. They didnt add much fuel at all.
yeah, several things don't look right on those gauges anyway. like fuel level and flow.
Good catch, yeah engine 2 was certainly not happy, even on a low idle.
As others have said, this doesn’t need any other content except for that which pertains to the repair of the aircraft. The long talks, side stories and dramas are not needed for good content. Just work on your plane and let us watch, that’s all we want to see. Thanks for the great videos.
Yep. If I wanted that filler nonsense, I'd just watch TV productions.
He’s not the messiah (of aircraft refurb) - he’s just a naughty little boy !

The guys working at the port that seen this shitbox rusting for years must have been in shock seeing that thing taxing around.
I am just confused why he's fixing things he seems to know an A.P. is still gonna have to go over. I'd be fine with him filming that guy. I've been getting a wierd vibe for a few episodes now. Hard to explain, but my spidy senses are tingling.
Regardless of the cliff hanger I really enjoyed this installment. Heck I even shed a tear seeing the two of you at the controls smiling. Can’t wait for the next one
Hey Jared !
I can tell you that day was full of emotion and excitement. We’ll have an update video released next week. Thank you for watching 👍🏼
The partial return of the king
I like how each episode brings new mysteries. Did you move all of the other planes out of the hanger, then put them all back BEFORE you remembered to bleed the brakes? Then you moved them all out again? How did you get the chocks pulled AFTER you all three climbed in the cabin to taxi test it?
The single rear chock at 19:19 is exactly the same as the takeoff roll at 2:38 and every shot in between. (And even if it went from fully chocked to not, it means nothing because there's a camera operator and maybe others off camera.) It's clearly a working hanger and it's not unusual for someone to film things out of order or to go back and retake a shot or decide to add an introduction.
Editing is a big part of Reality TV🤔
Oh man! How can you leave us like that? Crazy how good it looked and sounded!

hey rebuild rescue! i haven't been here from the start but i have watched all the videos about the 401 and got instantly interested and to see it on the runway now is honestly amazing!! keep it up :)
(I didn't have time to read 3,024 comments below and this may have been remarked on below.) As a certified FAA repairman, I think that you are required to remove all New Tire Decals before entering an Airfield because if the decals partially or fully come off during taxi, then you have created FOD (Foreign Object Debris) on the Airfield that could contaminate another Airplane, or worse: a jet engine.
They make one mistake after the other with the habit of true airmen...
It would most likely be a good practice to remove the stickers on the tires, however. With the so much tire surface scuffing a taxi way, most of, if not all, the stickers would be worn off to so many little pieces that ingesting something like that would be nothing to a jet engine. Granted jet engines are built with high tolerances and are fairly semsitive but if they were that sensitive to something like a tire sticker. It wouldn't even be worth building them in the first place. Especially with all the loose bags, paper or plasitic being blown around in major city airports. Jet engines go through vigorous ingestion testing at the research facilities from bird strikes, high pressire water, hail and ice. I really don't think a peice of paper would do too much to a jet engine. By the time it had gone into the first fan stage and the low and high compression stages, that piece of paper would have been shredded up into so many small particulates that it would pass right through it as well as being burnt to ash from the high 2,000 degree temps of combustion.
I hope you recoverd from the injury and I hope the free airplane flies wel and I hope u get way more free airplanes that are bigger and free too!
Well, we're waiting!!
