I am interested in nearly anything these folks are doing in Rebuild Rescue. They act in good faith and inspire good works! Not all things turn out the way we hope. Its what you do with your troubles that counts. I learn a lot here, and I am happy to observe a lineup of continuing projects. Thank you for the enjoyment you provide me when otherwise I would be doing nothing. Keep going!

[@ZapperguyLOL]

Not going anywhere. You guys rock. Sam would want the projects and the channel to continue. Stay safe. ☮

[@RealRickCox]

We all loved Sam. I wouldn't even be here if it hadn't been for him giving you that plane. I know how much you and the team meant to him. We all gotta stick together and support one another. Sam wouldn't have it any other way.

[@nibblick29]

Big love to you and all of the Rebuild Rescue family Jason. Thoughts to Sams family and friends. Making the videos and showing the 401 are the best way to honour his memory. Love you brother

Dude great video once again; praying for you all. I know God will make this trial a blessing. It may not seem like it right not but things will get better.

[@ryanlaviers9776]

I started watching Rebuild Rescue at the start of the 410. Over the years I anticipated new content almost like some of our mothers would have been when we were younger and they were onto a new soap opera 😂😂😂. But I will tell you, learning of the loss of Sam definitely hits home. I have never met anyone of the crew but I can relate to loosing friends, or fellow Marines. Life will always move forward, and the legacy of Sam will continue. Some may not understand what the team is dealing with both emotionally, legally, financially etc. Some of us do. And we thank you for sharing these post videos of what is going on. Keep up the great work! I promise it will get better :)

[@timjames7869]

Great to see you moving forward. Please get that motor fully checked. 😊

[@RealRickCox]

According to my calculations, if you did the minimums to bring the pane back to life, you'd be in it around $85k. If you do the overhaul on the engine, you're up to $105k. You'll have more profit margin if you don't overhaul the engine because I suspect that wouldn't increase the value at the same rate it would cost you.

[@buckmurdock2500]

Correct. Getting 100% or greater return on an airplane repair/restoration/alteration is as difficult as finding a unicorn. Most success comes from applying lipstick. Make it look appealing and hope some sucker makes an emotional purchase.

[@bobmoyer8864]

I don't know how you're doing it.... it honestly looks like you all are learning how to move on with all the changes going on. It will be interesting to learn about the number change on the plane. I agree with I like the number in "wiskey". It will exciting to see how you put a little bit of Sam this and projects to follow. You all always do a great job having fun and still being serious about safety. I do like the idea of a similar panel in the Saratoga but this one deserves to get its cockpit panel back as well. As always.... looking forward to the next episodes I know will be coming. Thanks for sharing and moving forward. Bob

[@bstiger6482]

I hate to say, but Jason seems to chase rabbits a lot. I thought this channel was about getting the 301 operational, not buying more wrecked airplanes to get side-tracked on. I know it helps to fund the 301 project to do quick flips, but it usually never works "quick" with airplanes. I am excited to see the 301 flying and doing various charity & mission projects. Maybe put the 'other' airplane builds on a separate channel?

[@ischmidt]

The 401 is waiting on parts with a multi-month lead time. The plan was that we'd start seeing the it again around this time, but obviously Sam's crash and the resulting NTSB investigation means we don't know what's gonna happen next or when.

[@JohnMckeown-dl2cl]

Another good video. I think you guys got a good deal on this airplane. The paint job and glass cockpit are really nice. Yes, it is going to be a lot of work and a lot of hours, but I really think it will pay off. As far as the engine, I would wait and see how everything looks before deciding on the IRAN. Agreed you can never be TOO safe and magnafluxing the crank may be a good idea, just try to restrain yourselves from going too crazy and put what you save into the 401.

[@jd_railfan]

i agree about the not too crazy thing. When he said about repainting, other than the damaged areas, I don't see why it needs a paint job. To me it's just an un-necessary expense

[@thedoctor4637]

I really enjoy the color scheme of the new 235! I started watching Rebuild Rescue’s aviation videos a good number of months ago and finally got caught up on this video. The impact Sam as had on Rebuild Rescue is immeasurable from the outside looking in. Because y’all’s faith is not present in each episode, it is very encouraging to see Sam’s godly leadership and the growth in the teams’ faith because of it! Keep proclaiming Christ! I hope these verses encourage y’all as well: Matthew 5:1-18, Romans 1:16, Galatians 6:4. I am keeping the Ganow and Rebuild Rescue family in my prayers. If the Phenix is the name of the C401, then “The Ganow Legacy” is 81AD’s title!

[@Bus429]

Prop blades generally get bent rearward on impact if not turning or turning at low RPM. Props hitting the ground under high RPM generally bend forward.

Here in Australia any prop strike requires a mandatory bulk strip and rebuild. No exceptions.

SAM THE MAN. Onwards & upwards

[@ron58r]

how can you work on the motor without a A P doing it?

[@coldsamon]

You can work on your own aircraft under the supervision of a certified mechanic. I didn't see any real work being done.

[@KurtFlunkn]

Here is the text from FAR 43.3 which defines persons authorized to perform maintenance, etc: Paragraph (d) states: "A person working under the supervision of a holder of a mechanic or repairman certificate may perform the maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations that his supervisor is authorized to perform, if the supervisor personally observes the work being done to the extent necessary to ensure that it is being done properly and if the supervisor is readily available, in person, for consultation. However, this paragraph does not authorize the performance of any inspection required by Part 91 or Part 125 of this chapter or any inspection performed after a major repair or alteration." Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are required under FAR part 91. FAR 43.3(d) clearly states that you cannot supervise a required inspection. So, this crankshaft AD runout check cannot be used for AD compliance as this was performed by a non-certificated person. Another task like removing the propeller can be done under supervision.

[@buckmurdock2500]

@@KurtFlunkn Yep, anyone can do it the work under supervision but their name MUST be recorded in the maintenance record as the person doing the work. Ref: 14CFR43.9(a)(3). How many times do you think Joe and Jason's name appear in aircraft maint. records?

[@billsales7237]

Feel you got a really good deal on it anxious to see it back in Air

[@i.r.wayright1457]

What about the wing spar AD? If those cylinders are mid time too, it might be more cost effective to go ahead and have a complete overhaul of the engine. Let the shop you take it to decide on the IRAN or OH. What do you think would look better when you advertise it for sale?

[@KurtFlunkn]

There are major differences between FAA AD 2004-10-14 and Lycoming mandatory service bulletin 533C. While it is true that only the AD is a regulatory requirement for FAR 91 operators, it is factually incorrect to state the AD is "...per the rules of Lycoming...." [see @24:16]. I'm sure that a quick call to Lycoming would verify their position on mandatory service bulletin 533C. Complying with only the AD might be construed as the minimum standard of care not being exercised. Also, under FAR 43.3(d) inspections required under FAR 91 (such as an AD) cannot be performed by a (non-certificated) person working under the supervision of an A&P mechanic or repairman. The crankshaft flange run out check shown in this video cannot be used to comply with the AD because this was performed by a non-certificated person. This is not transparent in the video.

[@i.r.wayright1457]

@@KurtFlunkn I was not referring to any AD from Lycoming. Only the Piper Cherokee etc. wing spar AD.

I think the crank needs to come out and checked along with the whole engine rather than us betting on how much it may be bent.

[@billbergquist4722]

Is there such a thing as a profitable airplane flip? Have yet to see one.

[@MGower4465]

Based on the prices, the most profitable option seems to be to buy one and strip it to sell the parts to optimists.

[@KurtFlunkn]

I agree having looked into this a number of times over the last 30 years or so. The big costs are the engine then avionics. The airframe is just a box to keep the expensive parts. Project math always seems to work out that the acquisition costs + parts are more than the cost of buying a flying airplane.

Yeah, they are planes that have turbine engines attached. There is no money in flipping puddle jumpers.

[@4life409]

Just getting the avionics for that price was a great deal. I had a new panel put in with much the same as those Garmin, just fyi, if you want to make it a full IFR panel I would get a bigger screen navigator, like the 750xi or 650xi since the 375 screen size is very limiting and can't show IFR plates, only the 750/G3X will do that. The G3X is NOT IFR certified, for that you need to couple an external approved navigator.

[@buckmurdock2500]

After the crash, an insurance claim was made and the insurance paid the owner for their loss in exchange for the salvage. The salvage was then put up for auction where salvage companies or individuals try to buy. Wentworth was high bidder so they hauled the salvage to their yard in Minnesota.

[@familieverhoeve7127]

All said and done you are in 100k. Selling for 150 k is a nice profit. Its a good buy !

[@RebuildingScotland]

Better to spend the huge sum that you are sure to need for this one, on the 401. That was the original idea; to get the 401 flying, but you would rather waste money on basket cases.

[@frankdillon6127]

wonder why there isn't a soft metal keyway in the prop to absorb impact forces. hate to compare aircraft to a lawn mower but the rotary blade on a mower has one to avoid crank damage when a rock is hit. this 50 cent part on a mower when bent changes the timing and makes the mower hard to start. that's why there so many good mowers at the curb on trash day.

[@buckmurdock2500]

5.0 hp vs 200 hp. There are some small hp airplane engines with a tapered crank and separate prop flange that includes a drive key but it's not really designed to shear on impact. A Woodruff key locking the prop hub to the crank on a 200+ hp engine? Nah, not happening. The prop flange is manufactured into the crankshaft design for that reason.

[@MyPropertyChannel]

Why would you want to spend money enhancing performance if the goal is to sell it to make money? Leave that to the next owner.

[@user-gs8vp8vk2p]

Well, it´s still in good shape in compare of the history and all I would invest is still a new propeller + a deep cleaning to make it ready to sell it for a fair price, which is the way to make some cash for other projects like the free plane !

[@really3316]

Any prop strike needs to get crank, block etc needs to come apart and x-rays along with straightness. I'm not a pilot or an a+p but plenty of friends that are.

[@rebuildrescue]

The FAA requirement for a prop strike is to inspect the rear crank gear drive pin. Lycoming recommends disassembling and replacing the crank bearings, and rod bolts. We’ve decided the best course of action is a completed disassembly and a thorough inspection including MPI (magnetic particle inspection). I saw a crank a few weeks ago that had a prop strike and was cracked but wasn’t bent. That changed my mind with how far we need to go with prop strike repairs.
