Yeah, probably a good idea to look a little further into betterhelp before taking sponsorship from them. They're quite well known to be problematic in sharing patient data and also not necessarily vetting their "therapists" to see whether or not they are licensed, betterhelp say that's up to the consumer to determine.
hi, for future reference i wouldnt have betterhelp as a sponsor :) theyre pretty shady with selling users' sesitive data and the "therapists" arent qualified in any way. just fyi :)
Great video Jason and Joe! Lots of blood, sweat and tears going into this old bird. It really shows how much you all care about this project and obviously Sam's memory. It is really starting to come together and the light at the end of the tunnel is really starting to show itself. Stay safe in all you do!
Great to see how close the Phoenix is coming to flight again. So much work has been done, you must be gassed, at least we know Joe was. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there; we wouldn't be here without you.
I've been watching since the will it start video.. I've never missed a video.. even though I can't support you with money I watch every week and I'm with you guys... I love the channel and thank you for making my Saturday morning great 😃
Jason and Joe, you guys have a Great work ethic and the patience of Job. Love RR and look forward every week to a new video, whether the 401 or any other of the plane project you guys have going on. Keep up the awesome work! The Phoenix will soar soon and she will be something that y'all will be proud of and she will be used for some Awesome Missions.
Welldone @JASON and @JOE, you guys are a great inspiration to everyone. I've been watching you from the beginning of the 401 build. You don't need this - but good luck and keep up the great work. 🥊 🥊 🥊 👍 👍 👍
To help beat the heat inside the fuselage. I use a Milwaukee M18 battery operated fan. Part number 0886-20 It really moves the air and the battery lasts all day.
26:45 "If everything is right, this trim tab is going to work, and it's going to work in the right direction." ... "Nose down." (and the shot of the tab has it moving down.) While it's probably just editing, that is the WRONG direction for the tab. :) If the tab moves down, it pushes the elevator up, which pushes the tail down, which is nose UP trim. :D
Awsome job guys.Thankyou for your love & attention to detail with this old bird & Sams vision to see it fly again.Got my cessna 401 plane tag from you guys so awsome !Look forward to more 401 content coming!Hi from Fielding New Zealand.
My experience rewiring restored cars is to run the longest wire first. This way you don’t struggle around existing wires and the shorter ones get guided by those already in place.
Thanks for the post. This really peaked my interest. It is so clean and shows the work the professionalism and all. You got a bravo from me. Outstanding job and transformation is showing.
Note to aircraft designers: Make the access holes to critical control component larger so guys and gals can get their hands inside to work on stuff without struggling.
They probably would like to as it would lower weight but they need a certain amount of structure for the airframe to work as intended. The smaller the plane - the less room the designers have to work with as well.
Keep going guys. Someone dear to all of us is up there with his huge smile and a beer, feeling proud of you. We miss him. Good winds and happy landings from Portugal to you all.
@@thunderbolt513 the Bible says wine is a mocker strong drink is raging. Strong drink meaning alcoholic beverages. You think God is going to let alcohol into heaven?
@@emaneasler Well, read the Bibble. What do you think he gave to His apostles for supper at Gethsemane garden? Tea?🤗🤗.Believe me ,I know, I`m catholic.
Seeing parts moving by using the controls seems like the plane is finally comming to life! I'll probably come from Brazil to the Oshcosh you guys will present it, just to give you guys a hug!
Great job today guy's, one more thing finished and one step further finishing up. I can't wait to see how beautiful this plane is gonna be when she's finished and flying for the first time in so long. Take care guy's and I'll see you on your next video. 👍
The comments freaked me out for a brief moment when Jo was calling nose down and the trim tab was pointing down, which is nose up. but watched again and saw the direction of the trim wheel... All good.
Great to see the work on the 401 moving forward. Don’t get me wrong I love the work on the other projects but the 401 has a different sort of connection to me.
Love the channel, love the 401 project. That’s the only reason really. Got hooked waiting to see if it would start! A lot of other not so interesting projects though. Maybe those projects should be on another channel. That maybe why viewership has dropped off. At the core it has to be the 401 and enough progress each episode to keep me coming back to see “if it will start”. You get what I mean! Anyway, I’ll still be watching, love you guys and what you’re doing!
If not mistaken when Joe called nose down on the downward trim tab would actually make elevator go up, the tail down, and then nose up to climb. I enjoy watching these videos and keep up the great work.
I watched this a couple of more times and the guy watching the trim tab was wrong by the way the guy in front was turning the trim wheel in the cockpit so, with that being said maybe the voice didn't match the video when they edited it. In other words, He was spinning the trim wheel up when the when the trim tab was going down like it should have putting the elevator in the nose up position. So it must of been a editing voice error.
Yes your correct. I was going to say same thing. When we do trim tab the person in cockpit call up or down. Person at the tab verifies motion is correct. Since Jason wasn't calling direction and Joe was calling direction of movement of Tab not direction of what action Tab causes the elevator to go, I would say the team needs to work on their communication. But as said in video they are going to have experts rig plane.
Keeping or finding the motivation is sometimes as hard as the task at hand. Once completed, you realize the juice was worth the squeeze and you find it easier and easier to get back on track.
When he calls out “nose down”, the trim is deflecting down which actually moves the elevator up during flight providing nose up pitch trim. Considering you were moving the trim wheel for nose up trim the functionality is correct. Not sure if it was a video/audio editing mix-up or a mistaken observation.
When he said nose down, the tab moved down. That's nose up. Tab down = elevator up. Elevator up means nose up. You may want to check that again, gents. It appears from the video that it's backwards. It's possible it made noise like that because cables were crossed and rubbing on each other.
"You're a better man than me Gunga Din." The work you do seems to me like trying to organize a bowl full of spaghetti. You're doing it! It is impressive.
The original factory workers never intended for the spaghetti and insane wiring to be taken apart and replaced all over again. It was a coffin of deadly parts ready to wrong at anytime but just good enough to make through an annual.
Glad to see y’all back working on the plane again. Jason all we really want is just a little update each week just so we as viewers can keep up if you remember how excited you were when you started working on plane well you see almost every day we only see it in your videos and if you don’t tell us we don’t know what you know do enjoy the project and I know you have have some problems and other things but just keep plugging away.
Unless I missed something, when Joe said nose down you were activating the trim wheel for trim up. Was that just the way it was edited? Love the channel.
About the 15:00 minute mark I saw something come off the cable as it passed through a hole in the support structure. Please check for a nicked cable that might then fail while in flight
You guys know that the trim tab counteracts with the rudder, right? When the trim tab of an elevator goes down, the nose comes up. Function looks right, his answer "Nose down" was just off!😉
I sure hope you used a T.E.C. Sharpie! Otherwise you may have compromised the cable! Please do check with the cable provider if it may be a possible problem!
Love the video Jason. Iv been invested since you guys found the 401. Cant wait to see it finished. Love all you guys. Im coming on a trip to the states in october. Would love to swing by and say hi to you and the team. Love you brother
Joe, please teach Jason how to bend a cotter pin. The two he put in the actuator rod look like he's working on a John Deere, not a secondary flight control on an airplane.
When you were showing the trim in operation you were saying nose down, however, the video (26:54) was showing the trim tab going down, which is actually nose up. I hope this was just the video and voice out of sync and not the trim hooked up backwards.
Guys, a piece of plywood, 2'X3' or 4' will make it easy on your knees inside the fuselage! You can add the foam on top and staple it with cheap vinyl. Just saying!!!
I had to wait all week to watch this video due to my HORRENDOUS work flying schedule. Just landed after a 4 hour flight and straight in with a beer to settle down and watch this
This project is trhe most ridiculous and illogical thing I've ever seen on UA-cam. It completely makes no sense all this effort and spenditure on something that will never have the value you're investing in it. This is the perfect representation of the inexplicable love we have for aviation. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@RobadoboThere is no way on this plane he will. It has been gone through down to the last rivet and will continue to be that way. Everything has to be inspected and signed off that he has worked on.
Great job Jeff, I respectfully disagree with you leaving those nails sticking up especially on the top of the footboard. Be sure to post a video when bedding gets ripped or someone gets cut. Love you folks.
I hope it was an editing thing. But he sure the trim is right. Nose down, that trim tab trailing edge should be up. Rigging trim backwards is a very common mistake.

Love the 401 project! Can’t wait to see it becoming a functional airplane again!!
I can't wait to see this flying
Great job, guys. Real progress now.
We appreciate that, thank you for being apart of the journey!

if you tie string to the old cable as you pull them out, you can pull the new one in a lot easier
You might have suggested that 2 years ago when the cables were removed.
Can we we get this over with already. It’s been going for almost 4 years. Please😃
WE ARE SO BACK BABY!!!!! 401 FOREVER! Buying the merch now!
For 1 video lol till they get the rest of the parts.
Well, I am definitely repurposing the term "drop a nut"! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to these projects man.
"and i only lost half the skin on my arms" that and bucking thousands of rivets are why i'm not cut out for aircraft maintenance. kudos to y'all
Another great episode 🤠🤓
Make sure to spray those cables down with LPS 3. It’ll keep em lubricated and prevent corrosion
Great video .jason very usefull thank you for share it.👍👍👍
It wasn't shown but I hope there's a cotter pin or safety wire on the nuts and bolts for those pulleys.
small wins until it flies! Thank you Jason for leading and inspiring many of us to never ever ever....ever give up. PS: how is the arm tendon doing?
My gosh so vested in seeing this bird flying again!
Thanks for another 401 video. Caught the Sam stencil on the side quickly.
Brilliant stuff here -Love from Sydney aviators today.
@14:03 . . . Geee, what's the torque for those pulley fasteners ? . . .
Alway my go to UA-cam Channel! - How many A&P Mechanic does it take to put one cable? :)

Love you brother
It's not going to be done this year 😂😂. Still have a lot of parts that are on back order.
You don’t need cable just put all servo motors just like a model airplane clean install😂🤙
Tedious work, but it is paying off. The Phoenix will rise again!
Joe, please teach Jason how to bend a cotter pin. The two he put in the actuator rod look like he's working on a John Deere, not a secondary flight control on an airplane.
It doesn't matter
As long as it's bent so it can't back out.
Seeing the condition of the 401 in the background, you would think you were a Manufacturer with OE craft in the floor👍
When you were showing the trim in operation you were saying nose down, however, the video (26:54) was showing the trim tab going down, which is actually nose up. I hope this was just the video and voice out of sync and not the trim hooked up backwards.
Nice work.
How are inspections and work documentation handled? When Cessna built it originally, how long did it take???
Such a good video i have watched every video you made❤
That means a lot, thank you👍🏻❤️
Guys, a piece of plywood, 2'X3' or 4' will make it easy on your knees inside the fuselage! You can add the foam on top and staple it with cheap vinyl. Just saying!!!
It looks like is running backward. I strongly advise you to check it once more...
Nice job guys, it doesn’t sound real smooth yet, but I’m it will soon.👍
I would never step foot into a RR plane
HELL YES!!!!
Yall need to learn how to use, snake wire, or fish tape. You could use string also. Really makes chasing cables simple and easy.

Have you decided on what auto pilot system you are going with?
Good planning minimizes duplication of labor on installations
What a pain in the behind this job (cable) must be.
I would wage a healthy sum that the OEM mechanics had specialized tools for this job.
Where did the rest of the crew go?
Love watching these videos.
I gotta say, the military grey looks good on the 401, I know it’s a type of primer but it looks…. Badass
Such lot of work for every part! But it will pay off eventually.🆒😎💪!
“There’s not much more we need to do…except for get the engine installed…” 😊
We need to see the end of this project after two years of waiting 😡
Man it looks like at least one more year to finish this plane but so far great job !
You guys are stronger than me. Kneeling on those beams would destroy my knees lol
You guys stopped saying pulley like Pennsylvanians! Also, every time Jason says fuselage, I hear the word in my head the way he used to say it LOL!
Same here! Fuseledge! Fuseledge! Fuseledge! 😂
