Dry Ice Blasting The Free Abandoned Airplane !

[@chrisharvison4566]

I love the dry ice blasting of the floor - You should do the same for the rest of the interior since it will have the same issues - plus it will look so much better

[@Thecyclingeconomicsdoc]

Please lord! Those walls and ceiling are so gross too!

[@NeedtoSpeak]

The continued discovery of the crumbling infrastructure really highlights why restoration projects are not for the faint of heart, or tight wallet.

[@alrad5686]

That dry ice blaster makes for not only an easier job, but a much more thorough job, without the damage that sandblasting does. Great job, the details are what makes a great finished product.

[@IAmCoopa]

Looking good Joe! Killing it with the fresh beard trim! I'd love a short series of interviews with everyone on the team, I'd love to learn about everyone's background.

[@rebuildrescue]

That's a great suggestion!

[@andyjames6664]

Your attention to detail, it’s not just to make the 401 look good, but you are actually making this wonderful aircraft even safer for the people who are going to use it. I have so much respect for you and what you are doing. I think you’re going to find it hard to keep it together when this beautiful plane rolls out for its new maiden! I just can’t wait. Keep up the good work guys

[@adamhamilton3342]

[@rebuildrescue]

It was very satisfying!

[@bartsmith9008]

One of my favorite rabbit holes! Can't wait to see this plane fly again. I always dreamed of owning this model.

[@jmarino715]

To cut down on the stuff flying everywhere, you could run the vacuum the entire time you're spraying and keep the hose next to what you're cleaning

[@missingremote4388]

He would need a 2nd person. Like a dental assistant. And tape off the overhead and dashboard. Leaving only the floor exposed

[@oldfarthacks]

@@missingremote4388 Not a bad idea, section off areas and that will keep the junk local to those areas. Cut down on overspray. Of course, they really should have taken every rivet, screw and fastener out, taking the plane to it's smallest bits. LOL They are doing a very good job.

[@maltnz]

Would help with ventilation as well .. CO2 levels must get quite high?

[@gcewing]

There's a lot of compressed air being blown in with the CO2, so they're probably not going to suffocate in there.

[@gordonfraser6025]

Please make sure you check out all the wiring in the fuselage for brakes, short circuits, and rodent damage, whilst you have easy access to everything. I have seen "avionics sparkeys" (wiring guys) throwing themselves onto blunt screwdrivers whilst trying to trace and track down wiring faults ! Early attention to the wiring fit will pay dividends on any aircraft rebuild. Also, you will need to wire the aircraft with a basic setup so you can fly the aircraft to an avionics company for a new avionics fit, unless the avionics company can come to your workshop location instead. Either way, the more wiring you can "pre-fit" prior to the "final fit out" will make life so much easier in the long run.

[@williamcarlisle9975]

Jason, the 401 looks amazing what Great.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thanks !

[@RevM]

We had one of those Cold Jet units in the factory I worked as an engineer in and used it to clean up oxidized polymers from extrusion dies. It is a near miracle product that cleans up junk that previously took hours of manual cleaning with precision instruments that even in careful and skilled hands still had the potential to do damage to our very expensive dies. It's a perfect tool for the clean up of all the adhesive residue and sound deadener without damaging the metal beneath.

Ensuring good ventilation is important during dry ice blasting because it generates high levels of carbon dioxide gas, which can be hazardous to human health and safety if not properly ventilated.

[@XciterD]

@@BlinkingKillswitch Openings do not always ventilate enough, the air can be very still. I have experience with this, I've witnessed people pass out. They were lucky that they weren't alone...

[@BobWiersema]

Fresh air respirator would have been the way to go. Not really that expensive and a must have for some paints like epoxy. Ever read the warning label on that stuff? "Will cause permanent lung damage". CO2 is probably not as bad but still why play around.

Wikipedia: _"Dry ice is generally priced by weight, but the exact cost varies from one retailer to the next. On average, the price ranges between $1.00 to $3.00 per pound. "_ Even at the high end of the price range, I don't think there was 700 pounds of dry ice in that container.

The way your Rebuilding the 401 will make it better than factory. It will be the Newest one on the planet. I have worked on aircraft for the Air Force and I know how much time and very diligent work goes into what you are doing. I have been watching your shows since you found the 401. Most people do not know how many books you have to follow for any single repair much less a whole aircraft. Hats off to the crews you have to work on the 401.

[@NoNamegone]

Just happened on this channel. Rather glad I did! I find this restore/rebuild quite interesting. Not many who restore or rebuild aircraft show what you show. I love those prop planes. Infact, I much prefer them over the jets although they're great planes as well. But, there's nothing like the sound of a prop engine doing it's thing. My dad used to take me to the base to watch the planes land and I was totally fascinated by them. That was in the mid 60's. Being maybe 4 yrs old the wheels looked to me like knee joints, didn't know those round black things were called the wheels and the struts looked like legs to me thus, the round wheels I aquiated with knees. Use to asked my dad to take me to watch the planes land on their knees! Anyway, I spent the last 3 days watch this build from the time you got the plane from Sam thru the most current video. Fascinating! I could be jealous and envious that I don't have such a plane. Always wanted to fly but couldn't afford lessons for a pilots license much nor rent a plane to fly much less own even a small plane. You all doing great work on that plane. Waiting for more videos on putting it back together again! Keep on keeping on!!!

Anybody saying that you can glass bead, sand, or shell blast this in half the time. You are 100% right. However, when it comes to soft metals. You have to go with anything that will reduce damage. This was a great update. But, I don't think most casual watchers will understand the importance of using a Co2 media. Definitely more time consuming. But, the least likely to cause any damage.

Surely it would have been better to have stripped the aircraft completely and cleaned it first before all of the other stuff done before?

[@alanm3438]

I have not seen you in a while but it great to see that you have not given up on this old airplane. It to bad that you are not able to remove all the belly panels; it is the only way to see if there is corrosion under the spars. None the less, I am sure that you are doing all you can with what you have. I never worked in depo level inspection but that is what you are doing. I was a corrosion control specialist in the Air Force and I am so surprised that there was not more corrosion. The plane should be smelling a lot better after all the cleaning you have done. I imagine that you will be replacing the wires and cables as well. You will have a new plane when you are done.
