[@25Wineman]

So, an almost impossible target was set. It's been missed. It's OK Look what's been done. Keep going. It's not how you start, it's where you finish.

[@Laluan]

Ikr, this is not failing. Failing is stopping the project and walk away.

[@roccov3614]

I'm not surprised. Just keep working at it and making great content.

[@mickyhostetler1869]

Given the end goal....this is absolutely the right decision. Useing professionals to install the most intricate parts of a plane is by far the safest choice made so far. You have made the choice to ensure success. Nevermind the show, there will be others!

[@CorpusChristiHouston]

It’s always best to do things right, the best you can

[@BobMorcom]

As someone who is 3 years into a 6 month aircraft refurbishment you have a way to go😉

[@DigiLab360]

In Aviation, failure means someone places flowers on your grave. Taking the time to do things right is the right thing to do. You guys rock!

[@trespire]

Well stated. "Do it right, do it once. "

[@mayshack]

There are so many ways to fail that don't involve death. Look at the Trevor Jacob situation.

[@Gkitchens1]

Right. This isn't a failure it's just another step in the right direction.

[@johndenton5555]

Truth.

[@gramps9838]

Naming it "The Phoenix " doesn't sound appropriate either IMHO. Re: Either of the 2 movies made with that exact name for an aircraft that crashed. But hey, to each their own...

[@elzie1100]

The months that you take to complete the 401 will end up providing years to the lives of so many people. Get to work, team 401!

[@johnbridges6760]

Probably a lot of us knew that you had set impossible expectations, but that doesn’t stop us from following along and living the adventure with you. As friends of the show, actually we feel like family, we’re not upset with you. We know how hard the entire team has worked and just because Oshkosh will be missed, we know your level of enthusiasm will not allow you to slow down or even think about giving up. We’re not going to give up on you. So as another great airplane enthusiast says, BACK TO WORK. We love you guys, thanks for bringing us on this great adventure.

[@mikebarnett1908]

I could not say it Any Better.. We're with you guys

[@cyclingchantal]

You guys aren't failing. Just don't stress over deadlines. I am invested in this story every second and I love it.

[@willy3177]

One step at a time friends. How do you eat an elephant? One small bite at a time.

[@FourFreshTires]

Same here. Failure is rushing in a time box and getting it wrong, or making it less safe, or worse. Oshkosh is not the goal of the 401. Those awesome dreams for what this plane will do for humankind is.

[@rodvickery9169]

Everything you guys have done is a success not a failure just because you miss a deadline you set. You have gone further with this restoration than anybody ever could.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you Brother, that means a lot to all of us ❤️ We aren't giving up

[@retro1980x]

Every engineering project misses milestones, it's how it works.

[@jefferysletzer8378]

[@jdavis7119]

There is alway another OSH coming around!! 2024 here we come!

[@johncline7518]

Agreed! Stay the course and finish the race. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. 👍

[@mariosmichael5105]

Jason, guys, never, ever again sound defeated. It's hard work, yes, but you are inspiring so many people. The work done already is amazing, you are bringing an abandoned plane into service and I hope you realise that. All the guys are putting in so much effort. I personally can't get enough of the process.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for your kind words Brother, amazing viewers like you keep us motivated !

[@shawnriley8909]

Joe is a asset to rebuild rescue or anyone he helps with anything. What a incredible man he is.Joe is the A Team!!

[@lukefazzio6274]

Who needs Osh kosh when you have 637 thousand supporters supporting you through this journey of trying to get the 401 done. I speak for everyone it just needs to eventually get finished that’s what we are all so patiently waiting for.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you Luke, we will get her to fly and aren't giving up !

[@BwInNewJersey]

Considering youve gone from a birdhouse to near reassembly in about a year -I consider this a success in progress.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for your positivity, you guys are the best

[@haydnneal1]

It’s shit and you know it😊

[@mikebarnett1908]

That is so true!!!

[@640vincent]

You haven't failed at all Jason. The opposite in fact. Your determination and those of Joe and the rest of those amazing people have worked miracles absolute miricles1

[@marijnjc]

I had to wait 8 hours before I could watch this video after I saw the thumbnail, all the scenarios that went through my head, including: the thing fell of the trailer or the FAA called. Happy you're still building! can't give a D4mn about you not making Oshkosh.

[@joepaul1763]

It’s all good man. All we care about is seeing the project done and then y’all using it for good. Keep moving, get it done! It’s going to be a gift over and over again to so many people.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you for commenting Joe, all your support means the world to us here at the channel 👍🏻

[@Alfaspiderman84]

There were times during my Cardinal project where I felt utterly alone. Like no one wanted to help or take part in the project. But I perservered and push through. Now I have a great flying aircraft that I can call my own. That sense of accoplishment has been a dream of a lifetime.

[@StevenSausH]

A project like this cannot be pushed into any timeline, just because the goal of Oshkosh 2023 is not achieved is not a failure. Oshkosh comes back every year, but restoring the plane with so much attention to detail is unpredictable in time. never give up!

[@ni_wink84]

This is such a “we’re gonna lose the shop!” Channel

[@daemon9732]

Following along as long as I have, making Oshkosh is not a big deal to at least 90% of us. As long as we can see the final product, even if it is just a video. That's plenty. Keep up the good work, and we love you guys!

[@rebuildrescue]

Your positivity means so much to us, thank you for supporting us through everything!

[@Klwl127]

Goals and timelines are great but at the end of the day it's about the quality and getting to the finish line that matters. We are all enjoying the journey, chin up good sir!

[@rebuildrescue]

Absolutely! Thank you Brother for bringing your positivity into the channel! It is great having you here with us

[@FordSierraIS]

​@@rebuildrescue what is the plan after its done?

[@davesnyder1183]

So a few hundred don't get to see it in person--Over 600 THOUSAND get to see it every week and watch the interesting work and progress you are making to get this amazing project come to fruition--That is all that really matters my man--Chin up and kudos to you for sticking with it as this plane and your mission will be worth it in the end !

[@johncrechiola1592]

You have a great team working on a project that will help a lot of people. You are exactly right when you say failing is quitting, you haven't quit, it's just gonna take longer than you thought. It's better to do everything safely and get it done right the first time. You are working on an aircraft that sat for years, it's going to take a lot of blood sweat and tears to get that thing back in the air, but you and your team are committed enough to get it done.

[@davillain1847]

You guys are taking on a project that nobody else would. It is insane how much you guys have gotten done and even though you aren't going to make it to Oshkosh, we are all still going to be here and ready for you guys to be there in 2024 and the many years beyond. Never give up because you guys are doing some amazing work!

[@Petskuta]

Oshkosh was a deadline you set for yourself, but wasn't something that makes of breaks this project. We'll all enjoy the content regardless, and you keep delivering with each episode. You'll get there eventually, no need to put extra pressure on yourself! Keep on chucking, we'll cheer you on.

[@rebuildrescue]

Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot to us you are still as devoted to the 401 as we are!

[@Hat6000]

You can meet an unrealistic goal, but doing it right is what is important, and it soon became obvious that this is what you really intended to do. And it is very clear that this involved an awful lot of tedious, careful and difficult work. The real goal has never been in doubt and you will achieve it.

[@jeep146]

Brought back memories when I worked depot level. Plane would fly in would get a ground run by our crew to see what worked and what was broke. Fuel removed, all the equipment tagged and removed. Panels removed. Electrical would strip out wiring. Sheet metal would remove and add what was needed then inspected. Paint, wiring installed and checked, equipment installed and checked, finally ground run then test flight. Everything was documented including hours spent per task. Your really building a new aircraft.

[@kentevans4218]

I can remember watching about a year ago you trying to start the engines, you eventually did get them to start. Look back at that time, your excitment, the time it took, thd dedication, the not giving up, the little things done bit by bit to get to this stage. Expectations, timelines get changed, dont beat yourself up so much. Safety first and doing it right first time will always be the correct way. There will always be time in the future for you to fullfil your dreams and promises, people understand that. Good luck to you and your team.

[@stuartmcmahon8870]

Kudos to every member putting in the work. Each step brings you closer to having the airframe together and primed, inside put together, and avionics and engines installed. KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDEO UPDATES!

[@doylefrost4314]

The entire process, from start TO FINISH, is what counts. Remember, you guys are not politicians with an unlimited budget. You are showing REALITY. People just don't seem to get what it takes to do a really professional job, especially in aviation, or what it takes in a personal toll, to do something of this complexity. You guys are showing it. Take that satisfaction and appreciation, and continue on.

[@dereklacey1]

I would stick to the main idea. Whenever you have to work with other teams there are going to be delays. Don’t give up. Just make sure it’s 100% safe.

[@JJayC2019]

This reminds me of one of your early videos where you talked about how projects seem to hit a wall where it seems like nothing is getting done, once you get past that point it all starts to come together again.

@C.A. Nix III Don't worry, it will have to go through rigorous inspections to be able to fly again. If you only knew how many old rebuilt airplanes are being flown right now over your head every day...😉 Not to mention experimental airplanes which anyone even people who aren't airplane mechanics can build!! There are literally so many of those in the air!!

[@sethregan8734]

@C.A. Nix III Believe me, I've helped with aircraft restoration, they're doing it the right way. The reason they're still finding problems is because they're going through it with a fine tooth comb like they should. There are specific FAA regulations for rebuilding things like this with detailed explanation and pictures explaining exactly what is legal to keep and when it needs to be replaced or repaired. One time we were trying to rebuild a Piper Cub and had to scrap the whole airframe because of corrosion that was above the limit in the regulations... The FAA knows all about this project and they have to inspect it before it goes in the air. All I'm trying to do is put your mind at rest...😊 Have a great day!

@Buck Murdock I'm not an aircraft mechanic, so I don't know the details of how you get them. I remember when we were doing projects that the mechanic would reference a regulations book. What I specifically remember was pictures on how much a steel cable could be worn before it had to be replaced.
