New updates on the Free Abandoned Airplane this week! We just got the brand new engine control cables back from Mcfarlane Aviation and will be getting them installed. It will take a lot of checking the manual, measuring, and double checking to make sure we run all the cables in the right orientation, but once they’re installed we’re one step closer to getting this plane started up again for the first time since we rescued it.

[@John-nc4bl]

Jason / Joe, Juan Browne, Mike Patey, Elon Musk and many others, aviation & space exploration are in good hands. A big thank you for your efforts to advance it.

[@matttafakt]

You guys have come a very long way. Just look at everything you've done. This baby is gonna be in the air before ya know it !

[@tubeloobs]

Seeing Sam's name on the plane is awesome and devastating at the same time. Life can so so cruel sometimes. He'll never be forgotten.

[@akumakazenoryu]

my wife left me 2 months ago... this show is one of the few joys i have left in my life, thanks for uploading today, i really needed some fun and relief...

[@l0l0mgwtgdq]

Jesus Christ has a plan for you. Keep faith and a new and better chapter of your life will open up 🙏

[@imonaroll9502]

My wife tried to but came back. Just let her go. Spend sometime for yourself, she’ll regret it.

[@Orzorn]

There's life after that, stay strong brother. Get out, do your own stuff, live your own life and good things will come.

[@thisisus.504]

Buddy. I've gone through separation, divorce, remarriage being disowned by my children, losing my job, crippled with arthritis and a few weeks ago, lost my much loved elderly mum. Please know that however much you may feel alone or lost, don't give up, know there are fellas like me burning a candle for you. Even although I'm probably across the pond, just know it's the same moon we see and know you are not alone. All the best buddy, all the best.

[@foxstrangler]

Whatever the reason, something was not right. Best to face it now than after another ten years of a sham for one of you. This is not a dress rehearsal, keep on with your life. From someone who has been there.

[@daviddemarco7499]

Thank heavens Jason's mouth tendon is in perfect working order; I always look forward to his video lengthening, rambling narrations.

[@rebuildrescue]

🤣😂🤣 that’s the strongest tendon I have !

[@ains500]

Here in Western Australia we watch with awe, you guys are amazing. The way you have recovered following the loss of Sam, well done. This last video is what we really enjoy and seeing you and Joe working on putting the 401 back together is perfect…… well done Guy’s!

[@donaldbrown6707]

Im thrilled to see you guys back on the 401, I was worried that you had decided to stop the project. As a vet I love the idae you have of an Angel Flight aircraft fir disabled vets. They deserve all the support they can get since they were wounded defending our country. Huge Thank You Jason and the while crew.

[@Olli2Wolli]

Do you also believe in fairies? There are plenty of pilots with aircraft that fly actual Angel flights everyday. This "for disabled vets" is a bullshit meme. The people that donated over $200K should get their money back.

[@Bus429]

Hi gents - just a quick housekeeping comment: when working on long assemblies such as control cables, tubes and wiring bundles that necessitate using the hangar floor to lay them out, always a good idea to lay down some paper or cardboard under them. This reduces the possiblity of picking up contaminants such as metal filings, dust, oils, solvents etc that are potentially harmful to such hardware. A couple of segments in the video did show the cables laying among some contaminants.

[@kevinhorne9643]

When removing control cables or fuel lines/hydraulic lines attach strong cordage or scrap cable and pull it through on the way out. Leaving the trace item in place and it can be used to back pull new cables etc.

[@ASDPOWER]

RIP SAm so glad to see another 401 ep. hope you guys are all going ok!!!!

[@necaro]

what a joy!! The 401 is on the move once again. The rescue team is an inspiration. Thank you!

[@itguydave2164]

Be sure to digitise those manuals! Never know if they will get damaged or lost through this venture. Would also help anyone else in a similar situation who cannot find any physical manuals, to at least have access to a digital version. Also, yay to 401 content! And don't put off surgery if you really need it, it can just make things way worse in the long run...

[@stoyan_vuchev]

It's Saturday again and I see a lot of happy faces here! Can't wait to get home and watch the episode! See ya soon!

[@rickregister9424]

Glad to see a 401 video. Glad parts are finally coming in.

[@RealRickCox]

Oh man... torn bicep tendon... OUCH!!! I've been spending a lot of time in the gym this year and trying to NOT get injured. Hope you heal without having to get that surgery!!

[@TheWebstaff]

Surgery if needed can save a lot of messing about working round the issue.

[@williamralph5442]

Missed you at Sun and Fun. I looked in the Sunset Bar..You guys amaze me with your patience and persistence. Thanks Jason and Joe

[@josephd.1878]

Rebuild Rescue is about the airplane and rebuild the man. Last time I was in an airplane was about 35 years ago. Love your show!

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear Jason, I’m so happy to see you and Joe working on the Cessna 401 again after such a long time. This plane is for me an icon out of the last century and will be for me very welcome to see her back in the air again and by all the love and dedication you both are spending to restore this icon I’m positive you’ll succeed in the complete restoration. I wish you lots of success with this project and send you love from the Netherlands

[@jimfinlaw4537]

Glad to see you back on the 401. MacFarlane is a great company to work with. I remembering replacing all the control cables in Sam's Grumman Cougar when it was at the Aero Club at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. MacFarlane helped us a lot getting those cables made. My advice is do not get in a big hurry to install them. Drawing a road map showing how the cables need to be routed first helps tremendously. The Cessna manuals really sucks when it comes to routing cables. Their cartoon illustrations are not very clear when it comes to routing cables. Once you get them installed correctly and rigged, the job goes pretty quickly. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnkirby8849]

So good to see you guys working on the 401 again. Sam will be proud.

[@MrJessDancing]

Best episode yet! It's good to have goals but to do it right it takes as long as it takes. One commentor thought this rebuild rescue might take three more years. If that is how long it takes to do it right, then so be it. Good luck getting all the parts installed correctly. Would be awesome if a few A&Ps had the will and opportunity to help with the Phoenix.

[@robdickson6705]

So nice to see you all back at it and making the "Sam Dream" come true.....so far lol thank for sharing and we are all still watching your expert -tease at work !

[@rickbii63]

Glad to see you guys got back to working on the 401.

[@ianleroux2567]

I am so glad you guys are back working the 401. I have missed the plane. Good luck guys great job.

[@steve-real]

Really cool seeing it come back together. Patience fellas and courage!

[@WildWabbit3122]

Great to see you guys back on the 401. I really hope that a few A and P's come forward and help you guys out. Looking forward to the cockpit being put back together with all the new avionics and panels.

[@thegreatestthing7272]

Just so glad you are back on the project and posting videos on the 401. I was concerned you had considered giving up on the project.

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Great work Jason and Joe! Another very important step in getting this Sam Gunow tribute aircraft back in the air. Very exciting!

[@Bluoranges]

Great to see parts going back on the 401 and good to see Joe read the sign above the sink...we'll let him off.

[@markhammerschmidt5315]

Great job Joe and Jason. Sam would approve.

[@blenhinton7566]

It was awesome to see another 401 video! I enjoy all the videos, but the 401 videos are my favorite.

[@rebuildrescue]

Glad you like them! Thank you for being apart of the channel Brother!

[@handy_kc]

401 progress! Awesome! I can't wait for you to get it running again. Keep up the great work!

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you Brother, we're lucky to have you here with us!

[@akseanol]

Before you close up the floor you should spray down all your flight control cables with LPS 3. It helps prevent corrosion and keeps the cables lubricated

[@StefanGeorgWellen]

Was für eine enorme Arbeit, was für eine Energie, die aufgebracht werden muss, um ein altes Flugzeug wieder zum Leben zu erwecken und es Flugtauglich zu machen. Ich verfolge die Reportagen über dieses Flugzeug vom Anbeginn bis heute und bin immer wieder erstaunt, wieviel Arbeit, Know how und natürlich auch Geld investiert werden muss, damit ein solches Projekt Wirklichkeit wird. Dazu die Disziplin und Ausdauer, die nötig sind, um nicht auch manches Mal zu verzweifeln. Dafür zolle ich absoluten Respekt!

[@stoyan_vuchev]

I've missed the 401, and man, it hits different! As a side note: Please, stay safe and avoid injuries at all costs! I'm looking especially at you, Jason! We're not losing any crew members! Other than that, keep up the Great work and have an amazing weekend everyone! Sending a virtual hug ... 🫂 ❤️‍🔥

[@MH55YT]

Best video in 3 months. Back on the 401

[@jerrywilcox9890]

No its not

[@DQQ167]

I think people forget KZbin is a job like u can’t just sit around doing nothing while waiting for something man’s had to make vids on other things so he can pay for parts. Airplanes aren’t for minimum wage workers

[@TheLincolnshireFlyer]

This channel isn’t just about the 401

[@dalesmith924]

Pretty cool stuff. Although your cable provider would make everyone's life easier if the either marked the runs or used different colors for the left and right sets.

[@asaadalsulaiman6746]

That’s why it’s always wise to take close step by step pictures and tagging during dismantling.

[@rexhapgood5000]

The time taken to disassemble is inversely proportional to the time needed to reassemble, and applies to any project. The degree of complexity multiplies the time required by a lot.

[@Haegar]

19:35 *ROTFL* like everywhere - "this sink is for hand washing only" - and proceeds to wash the plane part in it :)

[@rebuildrescue]

These shop guys……. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻😂👍🏼

[@davidelliott5843]

This sink is black and stained because it’s used to clean black n greasy hands. Nobody can be bothered to rinse it after use.

[@TheShootinStar]

Oh gosh!! My husband is scheduled for surgery for the exact same injury, next Tuesday. Prayers for a quick recovery.

[@thejacksonmurphy]

Appreciate your dedication to getting things done. I’m sure you are looking after your body’s health but if you need to rest and that is a needed surgery, that is more important than getting the build done. I will wait and you’ll have help.

[@BruceCarbonLakeriver]

I'm from Austria and living there but I'm still fully excited about this project since the first vid I've been subscribed to this channel and love the whole thing. Besides my deep love for aviation in general :DD And dude pls try to stay out of the hospital xD If it isn't skiing then just lifting stuff? Pls take more care for yourself xD And Get well soon :) Take care guys o/

[@user-uc4yc4kn7d]

Awesome to see progress on the 401 again. Keep it up guys.

[@gordonjames7779]

I love the 401 project rest in peace Sam

[@stevesamsel6602]

Another great episode, and another grey hair.🤣 I found out this past week how much I talk about Rebuild Rescue with my wife every week. We saw a story on the news about an Airbus A-320 that Russia just abandoned rescue attempts on. A few years back a Russian airline pilot made an emergency landing in Siberia due to running out of fuel. My wife said, “Maybe they would let me have it, IF I can get it started”. Thanks for all you do Jason. See you next week.

[@rebuildrescue]

That's so awesome! We appreciate you guys being apart of the Rescue Crew, thank you for all the support 👍🏻❤️

[@davidelliott5843]

Anything used in Russia will have been used to death and be full of bodged to keep it going. None of those stolen planes will be any use.

[@alrad5686]

Another step to check off the list. Sam will be proud seeing the plane go back together.

[@user-nd8dc5nf6o]

Having a illustrated parts catalog in addition to the maintenance manuals is a big help in a project like this.

[@JJohnson603]

A/C Maintenance Manual, Illustrated Parts Manual, and Structural Repair Manual are a must when doing this type of job in general. Not just an engine control cable installation job

[@Durandalski]

I can only imagine when these planes were built nobody was thinking about restoring and rebuilding them decades later. The engineers and builders never imagined a project like this and so their documentation is inadequate for this.

[@frankchristensen5778]

Just a comment, those manuals are a user/owner manual, NOT a how to build guide. Unfortunately, most manuals assume that everything is in place or that everyone KNOWS how to do it. Great to follow along during your Rescue operation. Greetings from Perth, West Australia. Cheers, Frank.

[@gawebm]

Not to be a downer, but I spent 3 years building a very simple light sport aircraft. Even after I was done, I spent TWO MORE YEARS getting everything right. I can't imagine the hundreds of issues that will rear their ugly heads -- after this is done. Putting it back together will only be half the job. I have fun watching these videos because I can relate. I just think you are still years away from having a flying aircraft. I wish it weren't so but that is the reality of aircraft building, and greatly exaggerated by such a complex aircraft as the 401.

[@CSIPSD]

I am guessing at least 3 more years.

[@Olli2Wolli]

and who will fly the aircraft put together by this crew? (biggest question mark possible). Remember Sam ...

[@silentsven1]

​​@@Olli2Wollidid you forget that the issue with his flight was that he didn't check his fuel and there was water in the fuel? Because that's what the NTSB preliminary report said. The issue wasn't how they did the work, but how he did or didn't do his preflight. You can mourn the loss of someone while also acknowledging the errors that lead to the loss.

[@stevehale4712]

Surprised there are no rubber grommets on the holes the cables pass through to avoid chaffing!

[@WaynePopowski]

My uncle worked for the Budd Company in Philadelphia. He was an assembly supervisor for their iconic RDC cars (Rail Deisel Cars). Later in life, he volunteered with heritage rail groups that preserved and restored RDC units. One group decided to rebuild a car and wanted to gut it completely and rebuild it piece by piece. When he asked them how they intended to do that rebuild, they were confident they could do it using the parts and repair manuals. He pointed out to them that assembly vs repair were not the same (and therefore, they could certainly not use parts/repair material to rebuild a car). This is what is happening here. The manufacturer never intended a unit to be completely rebuilt, so the holistic view was never published.

[@davidelliott5843]

Car body repairs on rust damage are a good example. Obviously, rust has to be removed but there is no manual telling you where to cut for the best repair. It’s usually more involved than the isolated patches we often see on YT.

[@hecburndyer3074]

When will the 401 hit the sky

[@hecburndyer3074]

[@mattc6872]

Just remember when it's all done it was all worth it great job guys.

Finally another 401 video!

[@kristenkylemack9477]

Oh boy! Jason I have a torn left bicep ligaments now going on 15 yrs. Its not as strong as it use to be & aches when over strained but its still works just not as stable as it once was. Good to see some work on the 401. Love you guys ❤

[@lourenssnyman2063]

waiting long for this one!!!! keep them coming

[@vorovee3]

Happy to hear you didn’t need the surgery. Mine tore completely off the bone and rolled up like an old shade into the top of my arm. No fun and a good while to rehab!!

[@Ellis157]

Very well done Gentlemen outstanding amount of teddies work done and done right . thank you for bringing me with you wish i could come down and work with you that would be amazing

[@pinerider19]

Maybe the real Rebuild Rescue, was the surgeries that Jason had along the way.

I think your vapor hone machine needs a longer wiper arm Joe is looking through spray and condensation on the window

[@arjanwiegers474]

Great progress guys👍

[@mikeg2214]

If you were closer, I’d definitely help out. It would be a lot of fun to work on.

[@eugenejulson8742]

Run a thin wire through the route. Tie or goose your cable to the wire. Then pull your wire out dragging your cable into place.

[@joekerrthejoker]

Nicely done! Another step forward.

[@george6878]

Nice job!!!

[@gimmeaford9454]

In the USAF we used to call looking at another plane for reference “going to the 3-D TO”.

[@larryburwell8550]

great video, love watching them all. this is a tedious process with all these cables and im sure they have to be inspected after your done. great learning video for everyone and ive been here since episode 1 and never missed an episode

[@George-mn4wf]

I wish I could be there to help. I am not licensed, but I love to clean parts! Lol. I wonder if there's a career in that? This type of work is satisfying. I wonder if there is an intermediate license, something in between air frame and floor sweeping... Still enjoying these videos. Thank you, gents!

[@lanceripplinger8352]

Love the 401 project, keep on keeping on!

[@litamtondy]

You should step up your safety game. All the precautions you take to avoid hurting yourself will pay off on the long run. Never skip safety procedures.

[@anthonyblacker8471]

If you have a friend who KNOWS how to scan PDF documents PROPERLY, it would be AMAZING if you could have them scan those 401/402 original manuals. It would be pretty awesome to have those available, even for a cost, to the world as a quality scan. Just sayin.. it would take quite a bit of time to do it properly, but there are definitely people who are professional scanners..

[@latemodel7690]

Possible copyright problems?

[@anthonyblacker8471]

I don't think so, as long as he doesn't charge for profit of the material, I am pretty sure one could even charge a fee for the 'service' of scanning the documents, like as a service, but can't charge and profit from the download of the documents.

[@moonshinershonor202]

Talk about the flight of the Phoenix 🛫 More power to youse

[@AllTradesGeorge]

Jason, man! You've gotta start using the "work smarter, not harder" approach. Hope whatever they do with your arm heals up quickly and without any complications!

[@timothygray7412]

I feel stressed about Sam, I heard the news on reddit and did not want to come back to confirm it. rip kind sir. I am glad you are still doing the 401 x

[@carlbeaver7112]

Nine months??? Dang, I tore my right bicep 90%, ~10 years ago, and I wasn't out anywhere near that long. Working as a large metro fire dept. mechanic we weren't allowed to return to work until 100%. I think I went in at a desk job in two weeks and returned 100% at three months. Also... did you know you can place parts in jars/plastic 'zip-loc' bags with whatever cleaner you like then place them in the ultrasonic cleaner? That way you can fill the tub with plain water and use different cleaners for different parts without having to drain/change the whole tub. It also allows keeping a few skanky parts from ruining an entire tub of cleaner.

[@bluikkso]

What about running the cleaner without the basket. eh.

[@Felix-oy2jg]

It's still a little muted, what a shock and what a loss. You guys are doing well!

[@edwardstephens247]

When you guys are finished, it will basically be brand new!

[@jimjenkins3313]

Man oh man! That VaporHoning machine has been such an asset over time!

[@ReNeu60]

I see how much time and work and waiting for parts this project is taking and smile as you said about a year ago your little schedule where the plane would fly last June or something. Not mocking you just how much changed and how much you didn't know when your started. Just seeing how every bolt needs a wire reminds me that good enough or close is not an option when working on a plane. Has to be perfect and then will still be a scary 1st to 10th flight. Almost like you didn't rebuild a plane you built a plane. all those wires and cables makes me nuts

[@andrewpiovesana2573]

Sad for sam not to see his flying plane again rip sam

[@johncrechiola1592]

You should start a new channel, Rebuild Jason. Great to see some work done on the 401 now that the parts have been arriving. I have enjoyed the other content too, but the 401 is the crown jewel.

[@SeishukuS12]

Every time I hear Mcfarlane Aviation, my mind always goes to Cleetus... lol

[@GlennLaycock]

Manuals - wow that is great news. I have had the same thing with coming across an original good copy of something in "a book" so to my knowledge if you want to digitize that is a clear manner they cut the binding off - thus destroying "the book" - and then the pages can go through a quality scanner. The cutting the book is a hard decision as that book has just the history and such value in it current "look and feel". But in reality - it just a book that has a function and digitizing is boosting that purpose actually. It is just that perceived value is tactile often.

[@KurtFlunkn]

The FARs actually require A&Ps to use the current manuals. Those old Cessna manuals screw together so that change pages can be inserted. Paper manuals are still available thru Textron, but they are pricey: The 17 paper manuals for the 401 are almost $1700! "43.13 (a) Each person performing maintenance, alteration, or preventive maintenance on an aircraft, engine, propeller, or appliance shall use the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the current manufacturer's maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness prepared by its manufacturer, or other methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator....."

[@user-gn7ic8nk8u]

Getting along well now . Glad you got some parts again!🆒😎👍!

[@cliffharkreader3326]

The cables looks like PEX TUBING😂

[@JohnMckeown-dl2cl]

Great to see you back working on the 401again. You picked a tough project for your first one in a while. Those cables can be tough just doing it on a one-for-one exchange, but starting from scratch is "interesting". Sorry about the tendon. I ruptured my achilles tendon a few years ago and it was no fun, especially the recovery. Good luck!

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for your well wishes and support! It's awesome hearing from you guys👍🏻

[@garyepaul2085]

I have been watching for a long time and really enjoy your work. Can't wait to see the 401 finished. One thing that would help is to drop the music volume a db or two. It drives my wife nuts!

[@ShawnPossible]

Wahoo!!! Another step closer. Can't wait until the engines fire up. Thank you for another awesome video.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for being here with us

[@kevinwaller7962]

Glad to see more work going on! It’s been a while! 👍🏻

[@joeemahizerjr6562]

You do not use water to something off. You use a tack rag to clean it off when you take it out of a parts cleaner or get done cleaning it rag.
