Yea outside of the structure of the plane and engine literally everything else needs to be gutted lol.

Its also high performance, tks, ac etc. Then Id dump a good 35k for interior and repaint as that whole interior has to go asap.
I’ve worked as a federally licensed aircraft mechanic for 40 years. The single most important thing you can do is a thorough records inspection. Not only on the aircraft but the engines, propellers and avionics. Each may have Airworthiness Directives issued against them. The second is a thorough annual inspection. Don’t skimp on this inspection as you have no personal history on this aircraft. Most aircraft manufacturers have an aging aircraft inspection that can be done as well and especially where you’re looking at composite materials in the elements for an extended time. It’s an area where you need to put some good focus. Good luck on your adventure. You will certainly get plenty of content from this project. Expensive as it maybe. Enjoy!
@@jplumbob The federal gov. (FAA) is the only body that issues licenses (certificates). However, you don't need to be a FAA certified repair station to perform work on certified aircraft. An A&P certificate will suffice.
@@bhaebe6671 That's... not how it works my friend. It's not airworthy, ergo not legal to fly until it gets an annual inspection and all discrepancies are cleared.
@@chipsawdust5816 Needs to be taken through Savvy Aviation. I wouldn't think anyone else would be qualified to give that peculiar aircraft history the thumbs up or thumbs down.
@@benjigault9043 I'm sure it does. My uncle was talking about buying another plane right up until right before he died. If he had actually bought one, I'm sure the family would have been at a loss. They might have sold it right away or simply let it sit and paid the hangar fees only.
FYI, there is another UA-camr in Arizona that picked up one of these planes not too long ago. He found out there was a long wait to get parts, and the parachute needs to repacked every now and then. Not cheap.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 It's actually a bit higher for a G1 like this. Replacement is every 10 years from date of manufacture of the rocket and parachute packing.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Yeah - it's still not a fun check to write though. We did our G1 SR20 4 years ago. Not looking forward to the next one. 😀

It wouldn't be Rebuild Rescue without demo day at the bird hotel. A little spit shine on the interior and she'll be good as new. My guess was 72% so glad I was wrong. Thank you for another awesome Saturday. Happy Independence Day to everyone. Be safe and don't get dead everyone.
The name for this airplane/project the “Terrarium” with all the moisture and moss growing in it. I love these videos, makes me feel a lot better about some of the maintenance issues that pop up from time to time.
Seriously, I assume someone had major family, medical issues or just died??? Surely if they could afford to buy that they could have afforded to at least find covered storage if not indoor storage!
who the heck buys something as nice as a SR22 and ditches while its still so close to new? Hard to understand how something so new gets to be abandoned. Hope it works out well for you guys though.
That thought crossed my mind. But then I thought, someone who has money, enough money not to care about money. I get it. But that should be a crime to do that to any plane.
Well, I was very happy to hear her start & run. She Purred like a kitten! ❤Happy she has been rescued. 😊 Joe you look younger & a lot cooler on a hot day!
I say you get the window sealed up, doors fixed, avionics overhauled, tires and breaks replaces and you can fly her home to the rescue hanger so she can have a full inspection with all the correct hardware!
We had this plane next to ours for the last year. It was just a magnet for birds. When we approached the plane this spring you could hear all the birds and my wife's instructor saw little birds in the engine compartment. We had to clean off our airplane every time we came to fly it. We also had to place about 4 sets of large sponges to block the nesting. We are so glad you have been able to take it away and to make it flyable. Our airplane is also clean again!!!
I've been an A&P Mechanic for 45 years with decades of composite experience. With a composite airframe, sitting in the sun for over a decade, I wouldn't fly in it.
That's where I'm at in my career too. Composites aside, that airplane with the moss and moisture is an in-flight failure waiting to happen. Corrosion on wiring, canon plugs, cables, all the metal bits is likely to be all through that bird.
The dirt probably helped to protect the composites from the sun … the white paint is designed to keep temperatures acceptable for the composites. The Cirrus has a good safety record. No history of breakups.
Fair warning, as someone who works at a Cirrus Authorized Service Center - the slight aileron droop means you might need to do heavier control work than you expect. It should always stay perfectly centered.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Leaving all of this exposed for so long will just result in stuff breaking down. The cables themselves, after sitting in the heat, might lengthen slightly, bearings and pulleys may break - just general wear and tear, exacerbated by the lengthy period in the elements (which can bring a lot of thermal stress into parts). There's a reason Cirruses are almost always kept hangared.
This Cirrus has all the bells and whistles on it, like getting a loaded Cadillac, and the added bonuses were it started up and ran with no issues and it has a parachute, you can’t beat that.
She cleaned up nice and I was hoping for a home run on this one, but when I saw the natural grass carpeting the only thing I could hope for would be a good start up. Hey, two out of three ain't bad! Sounded sweet, firing up on the second turn and purring like a kitten.
Warning, composite structures can be overstressed and damaged badly with NO external signs damage. I'd recommend consulting someone who is an expert in composite construction and very closely inspecting this aircraft before flight.
A "THOUSAND THANKS " to Rebuild Rescue (including the guy that sounds like Joe, but don't look like Joe) for doing what you're doing. This is honestly the one channel that I've loved from it's beginning that I TOTALLY look forward to and I don't think that Jason's smile is as big as mine when I see these abandoned airplanes come to life.
Great video, thanks for sharing, I just recently purchased a 1954 E35 Bonanza, had an issues with birds living under the cowl as well, this gave me a lot of hope.
I absolutely love Cirruses, but are you financially ready for this Jason? Even if everything with the airframe and engine is great, you'll need a CAPS replacement and upgrade to electronic CAPS ignition, as well as an ADS-B out solution. If you need any avionics work done and you can get it to KJYO, come on over!
WOW, that was a pleasant surprise to see and hear that engine running smoothly,without a lot of smoke,on stale fuel. At least you have a “ partial “ winner so far.
135k is insane for a plane that sat for 11 years! I really love these videos. I don’t know how it could possibly be profitable to do what you’re doing, but I really hope you keep doing it! Maybe start a flight school and use some of these rescues to instruct, that might be a way for some of them to make money.
@@calebniederhofer6529 The only reason its 135k is because of the low time engine which appears to be in great shape for 11 years. If it wasn't for that id be negotiating for 80k max lol
From about 2003-13, I worked almost exclusively on SR22s. As I'm watching this, I'm adding up all the $$$ they're going to have to throw at this plane that they have no clue about yet. Little things like the $900 TKS filter, the four rubber bushings on the standby alternator that are $100 each, the $1800 alternator coupling. And let's not even talk about the cost of (probably) having to fix the air conditioning - it was over $18 for the last time I had on fixed..... Oh, the parachute repack! They won't be able to get on anyone's schedule for 6-12 months, and it will cost nearly $30K......
Hoping for a part 2. I mean they are definitely going to have to put a minimum of 75K ( my guess into it. ) but if they sell it for 250 or greater, they've made some money!
At 42 years old, I finally decided to work on my PPL and as a student pilot, I’m looking to purchase a good 4 seater that I can put some TLC into and have a nice small plane for my family. I love watching your channel
Exactly! My first thought was: Gee how many Joes does he have on his team? 🤔 But then it dawned on me that we see the real face of Joe for the first time‼And you look darn good like this Joe! Makes you 10 years younger too 👍.
I was soooo pissed when I saw this. Frederick is my home airport and I had my eye on the plane for years. Now that I’ve seen the video, I am glad that’s not me. 😂
@@RaceMentallyThe actual foundation if the plane is fine so it will fly no problem. BUT they will have to gut the whole thing inside and out and do a partial rebuild
Loved watching this rescue. Nearly cried when you took that cowling off, good to see the final result of course. So thought id subscribe to see more. Greetings from Australia
When I first saw the Cirrus logo in the rear floor I seriously had to do a double-take as I thought it said 'Chia'. Well, it is green... ;-) Then my next thought was, "I wonder if he knows that parachute needs to be replaced, how expensive it is and how long it takes once he's on the list for replacement?"
Absolutely loving this video but i used to work with vinyl doing vehicle wraps.. removing those old decals will be an absolute nightmare. We would typically recommend having decals replaced every 4 years to avoid that UV damage which turns the adhesive into a cement so removal will take you probably a few hours. I would recommend getting a rubber eraser wheel which you can attach to a drill and that'll be the easiest and fastest way to get it off.
Sweet ass airplane and it was just neglected what a shame. But SR22 as cool as they are they are straight money pits worse then other private planes due to the avionics and especially the parachute pack they have onboard. I hope you guys get this old girl flying again LET'S GO 💪🏼
That is a pretty sweet plane! It looked a bit rough but it cleaned up pretty well. I did see it had you favorite birds nest in place in the engine compartment. 😂😂😂 Good luck on the new project!
Wow, great job guys! I was amazed at how it started up like it was just flown an hour earlier!! Yes, she is going to need a lot of love, but since the engine is great it looks like a win overall. Man, I didn't recognize Joe without his beard, looking good Joe! Stay safe you guys!
Great to see it run. I was leaning toward Jason's 40% (or lower). Glad we were both wrong! Tires, new fuel, temp avionics and a thorough check and it might take to the air soon for the one time ferry flight. Great find and the best of luck.
Y'all had us worried but what a great sound.... I think ya have a winner there, but ya do still have a biiitttt more money to put in it.... and I'm sure it will be worth it... Thanks for another exciting/ scary episode..... what fun we all had! 😎 bob
Dang. Some cowl plugs and a plane cover from the previous owner would have prevented 90% of the damage lol. Goes to show how even a tiny bit of care goes a long way
It's unbelievable that the owner or the family or whatever didn't do any preventative measures or maintenance on the plane. It's worth a lot of money and you just leave it out there without even cowl plugs? Like... what?
One of the first things I thought of was rodents. I worked for an airline and we had several instances in which rodents had been seen in airplanes so the a/c were taken out of service until the rodents were found and removed. There was ALWAYS wiring damage.
Hey guys. I have been with you guys from the beginning. I look forward every week to seeing the next video. You have a really great team. I have a pilot license and have owned six different airplanes in the past, back when flying was kinda affordable. haven't flown in a while. I really miss it. I also have my Glider rating. Since I live near the Blue Ridge Mountains that was a lot of fun. I like Joe better with a beard lol. When I saw him without it I said who is that. I thought he was a new guy. I think you will do great with this airplane. It has a lot of possibilities. I was concerned when you were looking at the engine. Glad it turned out the way it did. I really miss Sam. He was a good man. Keep up the good work. God Bless all of you.
You've seen jr aviation's video re older cirrus they bought and after an annual flew for few days then parachute expired!? Huge cost and over a year's wait for parts..
@Jason, not a huge fan of you reading someone's Wikipedia page or a company's marketing pamphlet. I just love you being yourself and generating original content. Keep rescuing!
Wish I was there to be a part of this. I got my PPL at KFDK 11 years ago. Now own a vintage 62 PA-28 160. I could only dream of a find like this. Good for your team and thanks for sharing.
Manufacturer - good plan. The manufacturer will also give an honest assessment on what they would put in the airplane given what you have and how much value is in that.
I worked at an FBO while in school for my A&P in 05’ and these were everywhere. I remember once a coworker had his foot get stuck on a tug gas pedal while pushing one into the hanger and smashed it into a concrete wall. I will never forget the sound that wingtip made as it folded over and snapped in half.
I would remove all of the moss covered floormats and get them out of the interior if you haven't so far. No sense in letting it continue to grow after such a successful start up! Great job!
I think that is a beautiful looking plane. It's sad to see it let go like that, it looks like some people stood there with buckets of bird crap and just threw it all over the plane. Unbelievable!
I love the content but something that jars me listening to this is when you say “parachute needs replaced” when I would say “the parachute needs to be replaced”
New subscriber here from UK .🇬🇧 Enjoyed this 1st video I watched in your channel. I can’t believe the totally disrespectful from previous pilot to keep the aircraft in that state . At least had the opportunity to cover the aircraft , so you didn’t have to clean the bird poop 🫣. Great Video 👊🏼
Joe, you shaved lookin' good buddy. That plane looks like a good rescue. I will say you are cursed with bird crap though. Thanks for keeping them going it's enjoyable.
Oh my. Why would someone leaves something of such a high value outside for so long. Would be the cost for keeping it in a hanger so much higher than the lost value of it? Also - how can it be that so much water leaks in? Its an airplane, it should be leakproof, even if it sits outside. I really hope you can make it work, the airplane itself looks really nice and it would be a joy to see it flying again.

Not worthwile fly without it just takes a placard !!
@@davidmotter5140 Parachute is a required item, and is deployed whenever you get get into a spin. It's on the emergency procedures checklist.
At 42 years old, I finally decided to work on my PPL and as a student pilot, I’m looking to purchase a good 4 seater that I can put some TLC into and have a nice small plane for my family.
I love watching your channel
Totally did not recognize Joe without the beard!
I was wondering why they didn't introduce this new Joe fella for a few minutes.
Exactly! My first thought was: Gee how many Joes does he have on his team? 🤔 But then it dawned on me that we see the real face of Joe for the first time‼And you look darn good like this Joe! Makes you 10 years younger too 👍.
He looks 20 years younger!
Looking good. It's summer boys, shave!
Much better Joe😊
This is going to be a cool project! Can’t wait to see more, you’re a hero for saving this airplane!
I was soooo pissed when I saw this. Frederick is my home airport and I had my eye on the plane for years. Now that I’ve seen the video, I am glad that’s not me. 😂
It won’t stay In the air long. They’ll miss something and it’ll go down.
@@RaceMentally that is really really really messed up to write that. Poor soul.
I would never feel safe flying this heap.
@@RaceMentally how optimistic...
@@RaceMentallyThe actual foundation if the plane is fine so it will fly no problem. BUT they will have to gut the whole thing inside and out and do a partial rebuild
Loved watching this rescue. Nearly cried when you took that cowling off, good to see the final result of course. So thought id subscribe to see more. Greetings from Australia
Nice terrarium!!
Its great to welcome the new guy to Rebuild Rescue. I'm really going to miss Joe though.
When I first saw the Cirrus logo in the rear floor I seriously had to do a double-take as I thought it said 'Chia'. Well, it is green... ;-)
Then my next thought was, "I wonder if he knows that parachute needs to be replaced, how expensive it is and how long it takes once he's on the list for replacement?"
Absolutely loving this video but i used to work with vinyl doing vehicle wraps.. removing those old decals will be an absolute nightmare. We would typically recommend having decals replaced every 4 years to avoid that UV damage which turns the adhesive into a cement so removal will take you probably a few hours. I would recommend getting a rubber eraser wheel which you can attach to a drill and that'll be the easiest and fastest way to get it off.
Sweet ass airplane and it was just neglected what a shame. But SR22 as cool as they are they are straight money pits worse then other private planes due to the avionics and especially the parachute pack they have onboard. I hope you guys get this old girl flying again LET'S GO 💪🏼
Looking forward to more of this Cirrus rescue.
$135k seems like waaaaaaay too much money for that regardless of original hours.
Best episode in a while, let’s hear more about this Cirrus, hope you make money on it.
That is a pretty sweet plane! It looked a bit rough but it cleaned up pretty well. I did see it had you favorite birds nest in place in the engine compartment. 😂😂😂 Good luck on the new project!
Thank you! Glad to see you on the channel Brother!
I wish i was there to witness that start. Looks like a good deal Good luck .
Wow, great job guys! I was amazed at how it started up like it was just flown an hour earlier!! Yes, she is going to need a lot of love, but since the engine is great it looks like a win overall. Man, I didn't recognize Joe without his beard, looking good Joe! Stay safe you guys!
Hey Brother! We always appreciate hearing from you, thank you for being apart of the channel and always supporting 👍🏻
Great to see it run. I was leaning toward Jason's 40% (or lower). Glad we were both wrong! Tires, new fuel, temp avionics and a thorough check and it might take to the air soon for the one time ferry flight. Great find and the best of luck.
I didn’t know Joe was as young as he is! 😮 No beard makes a huge difference.
Y'all had us worried but what a great sound.... I think ya have a winner there, but ya do still have a biiitttt more money to put in it.... and I'm sure it will be worth it...
Thanks for another exciting/ scary episode..... what fun we all had!
😎 bob
Dang. Some cowl plugs and a plane cover from the previous owner would have prevented 90% of the damage lol. Goes to show how even a tiny bit of care goes a long way
It's unbelievable that the owner or the family or whatever didn't do any preventative measures or maintenance on the plane. It's worth a lot of money and you just leave it out there without even cowl plugs? Like... what?
One of the first things I thought of was rodents. I worked for an airline and we had several instances in which rodents had been seen in airplanes so the a/c were taken out of service until the rodents were found and removed. There was ALWAYS wiring damage.
My brain cannot process leaving THIS out for 11 years.
People waste the nicest stuff... really hard to fathom.
Nice start and all the best with the rest of the cleanup and refitting.
Thanks and regards.
I would be more concerned with the air frame than the interior with all that moisture that got in there.
Watching you cleaning out the engine compartment, makes me hold my breath.
Hey guys. I have been with you guys from the beginning. I look forward every week to seeing the next video. You have a really great team. I have a pilot license and have owned six different airplanes in the past, back when flying was kinda affordable. haven't flown in a while. I really miss it. I also have my Glider rating. Since I live near the Blue Ridge Mountains that was a lot of fun. I like Joe better with a beard lol. When I saw him without it I said who is that. I thought he was a new guy. I think you will do great with this airplane. It has a lot of possibilities. I was concerned when you were looking at the engine. Glad it turned out the way it did. I really miss Sam. He was a good man. Keep up the good work. God Bless all of you.
I was wrong. When asked earlier, I didn't think it would start.
Wish Rebuild Rescue Team all the best.
You've seen jr aviation's video re older cirrus they bought and after an annual flew for few days then parachute expired!? Huge cost and over a year's wait for parts..
@Jason, not a huge fan of you reading someone's Wikipedia page or a company's marketing pamphlet. I just love you being yourself and generating original content. Keep rescuing!
You need a counter in the corner for $$$ spent on a rescue it may spin faster than you can imagine
Wish I was there to be a part of this. I got my PPL at KFDK 11 years ago. Now own a vintage 62 PA-28 160. I could only dream of a find like this. Good for your team and thanks for sharing.
If I could fly, I would love to have that plane. It’s outside my price range, but I would still love it when it’s all fixed up and ready to fly.
At a minimum, aren't you going to have to pay for a chute repack?
He will probably just clean it up and sell it as a running project
Yeap 10 years
And long lead time atm even on a repack.
Sometimes it's just better to be lucky than good. I didn't recognize Joe without his bird's nest too😊.
Was this the plane you went to look at in last weeks video in the helicopter?
Manufacturer - good plan. The manufacturer will also give an honest assessment on what they would put in the airplane given what you have and how much value is in that.
It literally took Joe speaking before I knew who he was without the beard lol
I've owned a 2005 and a 2008 Cirrus SR22. Seeing one stored outside, much less neglected like this one, breaks my heart.
Rebuild Rescue has been brought to you today by the letters N and O let’s all say NO, Jason we can’t hear you, say NO Jason 😂😂😂
I worked at an FBO while in school for my A&P in 05’ and these were everywhere. I remember once a coworker had his foot get stuck on a tug gas pedal while pushing one into the hanger and smashed it into a concrete wall. I will never forget the sound that wingtip made as it folded over and snapped in half.
Joe didn't recognize you without the beard,
I love the way the engine cleaned up
Is that really Joe??
I would remove all of the moss covered floormats and get them out of the interior if you haven't so far. No sense in letting it continue to grow after such a successful start up! Great job!
Another rescue but not one rescue from the past is flying…
I think that is a beautiful looking plane. It's sad to see it let go like that, it looks like some people stood there with buckets of bird crap and just threw it all over the plane. Unbelievable!
Where is the beard?
Great job guys. I had high hopes on it starting. As soon as you showed us the clean. But old fuel had zero water. Yep save the cirrus
You didnt introduce joe....maybe you should have
No need to.
This episode: 100% enjoyed the most of any! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank you for watching and supporting Anthony👍🏻
I love the content but something that jars me listening to this is when you say “parachute needs replaced” when I would say “the parachute needs to be replaced”
Did not recognize Joe without the beard! I thought you had a new member of the crew! Yes it will start! good luck!
It appears your channel has devolved into a talk show.
good luck chaps hope you get this lovely looking airplane flying soon
Great job guys another rescue ready to fly again
New subscriber here from UK .🇬🇧
Enjoyed this 1st video I watched in your channel.
I can’t believe the totally disrespectful from previous pilot to keep the aircraft in that state . At least had the opportunity to cover the aircraft , so you didn’t have to clean the bird poop 🫣.
Great Video 👊🏼
@@ranbirsingh7666 Thank you for joining us here on Rebuild Rescue !
Congratulations 🎉 looking forward to see more videos on this machine 👍🏼
More to come! Thank you for supporting Brother👍🏻
Joe, you shaved lookin' good buddy. That plane looks like a good rescue. I will say you are cursed with bird crap though. Thanks for keeping them going it's enjoyable.
SWEET. I would love to log time in a Cirrus.
Oh my. Why would someone leaves something of such a high value outside for so long. Would be the cost for keeping it in a hanger so much higher than the lost value of it? Also - how can it be that so much water leaks in? Its an airplane, it should be leakproof, even if it sits outside.
I really hope you can make it work, the airplane itself looks really nice and it would be a joy to see it flying again.
When these airplanes sit outside week after week they just fall apart.
@@rebuildrescue Thanks for answering, I guess the same applies for cars and houses that aren’t looked after.😅 Maybe that statement of mine was a bit naive.
A roller-coaster of emotions
You're telling me!!😂😂
