Today we are installing the last of the trim cables needed to control the flight surfaces of the free abandoned airplane. After receiving them in the mail we decided to jump right in and get them installed. So with only a few small adjustments left to do, all the trim components will be fully functional!

[@nickd920]

I'm surprised you guys don't have a little desk fan or something in the plane.

[@brandonpourmorady9485]

Just signed up!

[@jnzooger]

Better help is way too controversial. I’m surprised you took them as a sponsor.

[@Tankboy380]

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.

[@-Hari-03]

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 :)

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

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!

[@rebuildrescue]

It means a lot to have your support Brother. Thank you for being apart of the journey 👍🏻

[@plywood76]

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.

[@erinh4827]

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.

[@stevenholliday8873]

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.

[@Seven_Craig]

Good morning guys! Great to see another new 401 video.

[@ShawnPossible]

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.

[@ali1-931]

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. 🥊 🥊 🥊 👍 👍 👍

[@stevestevens9046]

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 😃

[@mikebarnett1908]

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.

[@TaipanTex]

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.

[@cylonred8902]

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.

[@handy_kc]

The 401 is moving right along! Nice work. I know it feels really great to get those super tedious details knocked out. Happy Saturday!

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for watching and supporting as always, have a great weekend!

[@shyammohabir8283]

Alway my go to KZbin Channel! - How many A&P Mechanic does it take to put one cable? :)

[@michaeltrimper4085]

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.

[@andrewhafley9752]

Man I'm so excited for this project, I had to leave for 2 years and was unable to watch. So glad to be back

[@rebuildrescue]

Happy you’re back !

[@DaChoopaKabra]

Leave??? What were you arrested?

[@michaeldunn3657]

Is there a supervising AP that signs off on the work?

[@JohannNorris]

You don’t need cable just put all servo motors just like a model airplane clean install😂🤙

[@bglenn2222]

Man I'm excited for this channel! I love seeing the show drop every Saturday! Thanks for the weekly weekend entertainment!

[@rebuildrescue]

Your dedication throughout this journey means a lot Brother!

[@BTurkelson]

It wasn't shown but I hope there's a cotter pin or safety wire on the nuts and bolts for those pulleys.

[@davidkitchingman2222]

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.

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

"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.

[@noelbowerman1562]

I was going to say the same

[@tropicthndr]

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.

[@ferrabras]

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!

[@glenndunnington8551]

You two are amazing. I am impressed!!!! Thanks for bringing me along for the adventure

[@stoyan_vuchev]

It's Saturday again with some 401 awesomeness. Can't wait to get home and watch the episode!

[@Bodhranarama]

Well, I am definitely repurposing the term "drop a nut"! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to these projects man.

[@balancedstone]

Piece by piece she's coming together, destined for great things.

[@George-nz2oc]

Love the 401 project! Can’t wait to see it becoming a functional airplane again!!

[@luftwicker07]

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.

[@user-cn2jp2uu6c]

Great job, Jason and Joe👍

[@pilot.nick164]

WE ARE SO BACK BABY!!!!! 401 FOREVER! Buying the merch now!

[@jerrywilcox9890]

For 1 video lol till they get the rest of the parts.

[@Suhgurim]

if you tie string to the old cable as you pull them out, you can pull the new one in a lot easier

[@MGower4465]

You might have suggested that 2 years ago when the cables were removed.

[@larryburwell8550]

great work on such a maticulas and exact install . great video. thanks for posting

[@sea-ferring]

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!

[@FeltonZackery-gm8yl]

Same here! Fuseledge! Fuseledge! Fuseledge! 😂

[@BillyBob38846]

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. 👍

[@paoloramella8592]

It looks like is running backward. I strongly advise you to check it once more...

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you for the video.

[@imatalkin4358]

Can’t wait to see the 401 fly again

[@phil10000]

Wow glad to see progress

[@phil10000]

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.

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

Gee and I thought y’all were going to put an elevator in the building 😢😢😢😢 Loved the joke Joe something Sam would’ve done. Right on Par bud … 😂 great work as always guys . 🤠🎸🎶🇺🇸🫡

[@Smannellites]

Great job, guys. Real progress now.

[@rebuildrescue]

We appreciate that, thank you for being apart of the journey!

[@jonathanwelter]

Awesome!! Great work guys.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you Jonathan!

[@akseanol]

Make sure to spray those cables down with LPS 3. It’ll keep em lubricated and prevent corrosion

[@alrad5686]

One more project completed, one step closer to flight! Keep on plugging guys.

[@KandMe1]

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.

[@alexvankersschaver179]

Good to see the progress. How is the yacht going, it has been 10 months now. video soon?

[@suesun7072]

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!😉

[@davidy4256]

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!

[@RickyD1968]

Awesome one more thing done ! Good job !!!

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for watching and supporting Ricky!

[@scarletlightning869]

You guys are stronger than me. Kneeling on those beams would destroy my knees lol

[@darrenbell3534]

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.

[@tennysoncason772]

Nice work.

[@unclebilly4696]

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.

[@archjen]

Incredible !

[@FeltonZackery-gm8yl]

Another great episode 🤠🤓

[@garybonz]

@14:03 . . . Geee, what's the torque for those pulley fasteners ? . . .

[@Andrea2601M]

HELL YES!!!!

[@bobbyduke777]

Nice steam blaster, that is a sweet piece to have in the shop.

[@gmcdaniel1964]

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.

[@jerrywilcox9890]

It doesn't matter

[@jerrywilcox9890]

As long as it's bent so it can't back out.

[@necaro]

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?

[@emaneasler]

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.

[@LucasDonates]

I'm not a tall person. I've got opportunities in the aviation industry galore that I've never thought of. For example, fitting inside the 401's tail. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@amcconnell6730]

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

[@rebuildrescue]

It’s all moving the correct direction. 👍🏼

[@DR-zi3wz]

Exactly what I was thinking too

[@kenmatthews842]

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!

[@gunn3r245]

Love it

[@lanceripplinger8352]

Tedious work, but it is paying off. The Phoenix will rise again!

[@danmcbride6258]

Seeing the condition of the 401 in the background, you would think you were a Manufacturer with OE craft in the floor👍

[@fredericoluisfigueira9053]

One dumb question, those blue pipes shouldn't go under the metal? I'm asking because thinking that the floor of the plane is going to be over the pipes there'll be pressure on those pipes after everything is mounted, right?

[@cgrant26]

Trim tab down = nose up since it's forcing elevator deflection up.

[@Mouse7575]

I gotta say, the military grey looks good on the 401, I know it’s a type of primer but it looks…. Badass

It's not going to be done this year 😂😂. Still have a lot of parts that are on back order.

[@Bluoranges]

I noticed you marked the control cables with markers, some inks contain chemicals which are corrosive to steel cables but I'm sure you checked that before using it.

[@rebuildrescue]

100% we also wiped them down after install with an approved lubricant which wiped the marks right off. 👍🏼

[@randygalati]

I didn’t see the turn buckle tool or a wire to hold the ends, if you don’t use the tool to lock the ends you can tighten the cable unevenly and won’t get the proper tension to spec! Cool vid nonetheless.
