I started BetterHelp a month ago and I’m really liking it. But am I able to get this discount still?

FYI oil bottles have the cap off to one side because the rest of the top is a FUNNEL ... flip the angle side to the bottom ... and you dont have to worry about the last drop of oil .. that is why they are shaped like that ... every time I see some one leaving them upside down to drain sets off my stupidity alarms .... yep one has to be very stupid NOT to actually use the built in features

[@grummancougar8008]

Jason thanks for letting me be a little part of the rescue. I can’t wait to see the final video. Bobby.

[@rebuildrescue]

Hey Bobby ! Having you out to the airport and flying with you was next level ! Shoot me an email when you get a minute. [e-mail]

[@kaboom-zf2bl]

@@rebuildrescue redo the lock wires ... they should NEVER be able to slide back and forth once finished ... as that movement allows them to stress break and can cause the props to leave the plane while in flight ... as it sits now it is NOT legal to fly in Canada with that plane with them

[@DragerPilot]

Great crew doing a great job. I am so hooked on every project of Rebuild Rescue, and can hardly wait to see the cougar start and fly.

[@rebuildrescue]

Awesome, we really appreciate the positivity! Thank you for being apart of the Rescue Crew!

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

Yes, we are all capable of doing far more than what we give ourselves credit. My professor said, "Just do it and keep going." Coffee and pizza does help.

[@getstuk87]

I refuse to drink when I do projects. I need a clear head or I'll do stupid stuff. I like the coffee and pizza idea I will use that!

[@topturretgunner]

Wow guys! Great job on the Cougar. It will be cool to see those Lycoming’s run up and see her fly.

[@alrad5686]

Another project one step closer to completion. This is going to be a sweet flying plane. I see it staying in your stable Jason! lol

[@rebuildrescue]

You never know😂🤣

[@ronnydowdy7432]

❤ When I was in the Air Force I had watched the people who worked in the sheet metal shop that could put those safety wires on blindfolded almost but they probably had miles of wire experience. Lol. The crew there working with you are top notch.

[@md4droid]

Love this Cougar series! You guys are the best.

[@rebuildrescue]

So glad you enjoy them Brother! We always look forward to your comments 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Youngberg1000]

Cougar are the BEST!@@rebuildrescue

[@Saint_Vincent1735]

I flew from palm spring with my dad from palm spring to vegas in a cougar in 1999 when I was 13. Pretty much the most amazing thing ever for a kid from England to do. Everyone was so friendly

[@rebuildrescue]

That is a priceless memory, sounds awesome 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Saint_Vincent1735]

An incredible memory. Palm spring was fantastic, the only thing that spoilt it was I was hauled away from a slot machine in circus circus ( turns out 13 is was too young). Good times.

[@bobmoyer8864]

One of your best.... I love that airplane and seeing all you great guys working together and getting this beautiful airplane close and next issue flying and being ready for sale.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for your kindness and positivity, we're lucky to have you apart of the Rescue Crew!

[@davidkingsley3244]

I remember lock wiring nuts & bolts on my submarine

[@BiCunnilingual]

Safety wire is an art, you’ll get there. Only way I got better was messing it up a bunch and others showing me the tricks.

[@dmcd7333]

Brian has some skill on that safety wire. It is an artwork!

[@rebuildrescue]

Definitely agree!

[@antonyh37]

I said the same thing. I'm pretty good at safety wiring but he's on a whole other level, it's picture perfect!

[@charlesdurham6793]

Over-twisting is the issue, In the Navy they made us do it all by hand without those wire pliers!

[@FunktasticLucky]

I wouldn't have accepted that safety wire job personally if I were signing off. He also didn't go opposite direction when doing the pigtail.

[@Joshua-rc3zk]

Way to go Jason im glad you doing this for the aviation community.

[@DaChoopaKabra]

The video starts at the 5:00 mark, just to let you know.

[@JHeck1989]

Thank you!

What a beautiful hangar.

[@HachberryFB97]

Man, I wish I could safety wire as good as Brian. Truly a master of his craft.

[@gnccracer250]

Seen that sludge before in aircraft cranks. Nasty stuff. Whenever we did a prop change, we always spent a lot of time cleaning it out

[@clutchcargo666]

You guys have cliff-hanging down to an art form.

Making good progress! And there actually IS someone who has MORE planes then Jason?!?! Looking forward to seeing it make those sweet airplane noises and convert dollars to power!

[@larryburwell8550]

great job on the engines and props, im ready to hear her run!! thanks for sharing larry

[@mitchhuested6244]

Ah, Jason, safety wiring those prop bolt are just real fun aren't they? They make a special extended crows foot for those prop bolts. Makes them easier to torque. Still amazed no one has any fuel lube for those gaskets. There's always that gunk in the crank snout, but you got it as clean as anyone could hope for, NICE JOB! They sure give you a lot of room behind the engine on those. On our duchess it's a hassle just getting the oil filter off. Doing good work guys.

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear Jason, You and your friends almost got the 1978 Grumman GA-7 Cougar back in the air. I know from a flying friend of mine that these planes are rather rare but it was a successful built and sold plane by by Grumman American Aviation. I can’t wait to see this plane flying again in your next vlog so I look forward to that and send you love from the Netherlands

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for always spreading positivity! See you next week Brother👍🏻

[@tomwarner2468]

There's very good donut shop downtown, Louis' very, very good pastries! Got alot rolls from there whilst I helped to build the Kempf funeral home up on N old 27 ,just south Dennys, on the west side ! It was really cold and kempf would come by with rolls and coffee for us,it was greatly appreciated!

[@rebuildrescue]

All of us here at the hangar appreciate the love and support you guys constantly show! We are super lucky to have the Rescue Family following along on all our questionable decisions 🤣❤️👍🏻

[@nickwheatley4531]

It quite simple Jason, the lay of the locking wire always goes in a reverse S shape for right hand threads. No more than 3 bolts should be wired together with the same piece of wire and max distance between bolt heads or nuts 75mm. Royal Air Force standard.

[@barrywood5357]

You will survive the maelstrom of building an aircraft fleet. slowly slowly catchee cougar nice one sir crack on i cant wait to see this in the air next to sams

Hey Jason. I really love your channel. Would you consider doing a video on an electric plane. I’d love to see you guys at work on an electric motor. I think it would be quite fascinating. I have yet to see any videos with anyone working on an electric motor on a full scale airplane. Thank you.

[@smgxofficial]

Seems that you are doing a lot of hardwork as the videos are awesome and before time !!!

[@oldfarthacks]

We have faith in you Jason, we know that you can get it done. I would use the old show business thing of break a leg, but on second thought, no. And yes, I fully understand the desire to strip it all back to bare metal on every last thing and do the full process, but sometimes that just is not possible. Keep up the good work and may the engines run in the correct direction.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for the kind words, lol we'll stay away from anything related to breaking bones😂🤣👍🏻

Refinish and clean - yeah I am thinking that the whole time - you have it apart with great access that won't happen for ages again. Oh well - as a mentor used to say to me - "what can you do when you live in a shoe" (had zero meaning for years to me, except I would say it because I heard it endlessly back then; when you kind of toss up your hands and realize it is not in your control).

Great work. Only thing that makes me cringe is keep using electric screwdrivers. When I worked on aircraft in the uk I was told never to do that as it slightly ruins the heads each time they tighten and can strip them when you loosen. You'd get chewed out for doing that over here! Like I say though otherwise...Great job and enjoying watching all the projects...hi from the uk! Ps....Joe smile update please ❤

If you feel overwhelmed with repair management, just try maintaining a yacht, lol! Oh, wait, nm! 😂 But IMO, you need to make $40K not 20. $20K is only 18%. You shouldn't engage in these projects with such narrow profit margins. After all, just one mishap with any plane during the year could cost you 20-G's.

random non-sequitur: I keep noticing Jason and Joe say "yet" in place of where I would say "still", i.e. "we have a couple things to put on it yet" vs. "we still have a couple things to put on it". I am originally from Cali and haven't heard this before getting into Rebuild Rescue. Is this a common thing out in this part of the country?
