@@rebuildrescue Can you believe it's been just over two years already? We've come a long from some weirdo down at the end of the tarmac just trying to get to the spark plugs with all the bird stuff in the way...
Hello from the UK. When I saw the intro issue where you almost swore. I was a little concerned that it was going to be something far worse than a missing washer. Outstanding progress made and really looking forward to the next episode.
I watched this adventure since that cold day when you tried to start the engines. A major mile stone getting a wing on. 👍. By the time Joes dental work is finished, he'll have a smile like Tony Curtis in the movie "The Great Race" A diamond glint every time he smiles.
Been watching since day one and seeing the wings back on and seeing the crew come together just makes all this worth it…you guys are awesome and thank you for allowing us to travel on this journey!
I've been watching your videos on the 401 for over a year now and just recently discovered your hanger is 5 min from my house. I'd love to take my daughter to see this puppy fly when the day comes !!!!
Great job to all! As an A&P IA since the 70’s, I’ve hung a few pair of twin Cessna wings, some are smooth, some are frustrating. You guys did wonderful! Hats off to you all!
The wings are on very much enjoy this video one more step closer the end was a tear full ending but you can bet she is looking down with a big smile on her face knowing she will be flying with you all for ever 😢
What an amazing milestone the First Angel was a member of the team, partaking in reconnecting Phoenix with her new wings. This episode sums up what this restoration represents & the Rebuild Rescue community is all about. Blessing to all 🙏
Jason, what an amazing and touching video. The Elaine sticker had everyone choked up, I'm sure. This had to be the most satisfying videos to produce for this project. I would imagine the only one to compare so far would be getting the 2nd engine to fire up. It's been a long road with many obstacles, but the journey seems to be nearing the end. The shear relief of seeing the Phoenix with her new wings had to be very emotional. (Lt. Dan, you got new legs!!!) This has to be my favorite video to date. Hope it gets 10 Million views. So excited to see the final product.
It has been such a journey! We have more to go, but the things we've learned together and the people we've met, including you guys here on the channel, have made every day worth it . Thank you for being apart of the Rebuild Rescue Family
@@rebuildrescue Thank you guys for the inspiration. Starting with new cables and finishing with new paint, updated engine, and prop. Hopefully, finished by next year at the latest. The Phoenix is going to look so good!!
Wow the wings are on . One of the best videos yet. Seems like it wasn't all that long ago that you took the old ones off. Having that co pilot was so neat. That was a very humbling moment. Sooper cool.
So much good stuff to come, running lines and cables and connections for the wings, mounting the engines, running lines and cables in the interior, hardware and gauges, can't wait. I'm going through stuff with my teeth that probably won't get fixed so it's good to see Joe getting his fixed. Great to see that not only are you giving back to those around you but honoring the ones lost. Great to see how far you've come since the first episode where you were only trying to get an engine to fire having no idea where this was going to lead.
All of us here at the channel appreciate your positivity and support, having supporters like you is why we are able to keep motivated and focused. Let's get this done together!
I can see how much this means to you Jason and I’m so happy for you. What a momentous achievement to be here now. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
What an amazing achievement. This episode really brought together the ultimate reason the project is a success. Bringing people together and paying tribute to those watching over us. Well done, Rebuild Rescue Team.
I enjoy the rebuild content on the 401 but I have a question where is Little Joe? the technician who did the maintenance on the Trinidad Socata, you haven't had him on since he helped remove the vertical stabilizer on the 401
Just wanted to say outstanding job to all for getting those wings installed. The bullet alignment tool comes in real handy. I've made several of them many times. Jumbling the wing around in different directions always helps line up bolt holes surprisingly. Putting the wing bolts in the freezer helps shrink the metal so they fit in the holes easily. Same also works wonders when installing bearings. Another trick I would do is spray the bolts with zink oxide and install the bolts wet. This will protect the bolts from corrosion, particularly from bi-metal corrosion where two dissimilar metals come together. I would recommend torque sealing the bolts to insure they don't move. Makes 100 hour/Annual inspections go a little smoother. Being an old A&P mechanic, my experience has been some wings go on fairly easy and others will fight you to the end no matter what. I have installed a lot of wings over the years whether its a general aviation aircraft or vintage warbirds. Congratulations on achieving this milestone in your restoration. Keep up the great work!
Hooray! The wings are on! I've got a few things to say: First, Jason, 26:24 why don't you start a comedy channel and upload from time to time? 😂 Second, you guys are the living example of the true Spirit of Humanity! ❤🔥 Keep up the Great work, and as always, have a Fantastic weekend everyone! ✨🙌🏼
The viewers are the people who keep us motivated and remind us why we are doing this in the first place. Thank you for being that support we need. Let's get this 401 in the air together!
What an AWESOME video! Seeing the wings go on is really bringing this MAJOR project together! Such an awesome team you have put together Jason, and such hard workers, including yourself. I LOVE this project and have been following it since your very first video. So exciting! I look forward to every episode.
My father was a great mechanic, and an Air Force E-9 in avionics. All your effort reminds me of his projects, and I am glad you guys are pushing this forward. However much work and time you put into this however, it pales beside the work you do with people. From honoring the co-pilot, to helping Joe, including Sam, to thanking and encouraging everyone who contributed, to dedicating this plane to flying on behalf of people who need it. More than all the troubleshooting and tool work I learned from my dad, the most important lesson he ever showed me was that a true leader takes care of his or her people, and I appreciate seeing you display that admirable trait.
WOW, What an episode! I absolutely LOVED IT!!! 😀❤️❤️❤️. This has been so long in the waiting but all new parts and HUGE peices of the aircraft going back on. Grats Joe by the way 👍👍👍 So exciting what's happening with the 401. This cannot be understated "GREAT WORK GUYS!!!!" Best wishes from Australia!!
I have had my concerns at times in the beginning to be sure, that you probably didn't "truly understand" the complexity of the job that was ahead of you all. The with mad rush to paint the fuselage, a prime example. but, I will also say to you all, that from that project "re-set" point, the project has got a lot more relistic in its goals and outlook. I'm genuinely impressed by the team's determination and dedication as the project continues to mature. I will also tell you that I'm strangely emotional for all of you after your latest instalment today. This is the "end of the beginning", and you should all be very proud of yourselves. It's now the beginning of the end now, for this fantastic project. You still have a ton of work left to do, but the aircraft will now start to accelerate and come on in leaps and bounds as you start to re-install the various sub-systems, such as the electrical system and the engines etc, and breed new life back in to the aircraft once again. I tell you, the day you finallv plug electrical ground power onto the aircraft for the first time, following the rebuild, is going to truly be the day that the aircraft will finally, "truly" come to life again, and that day will be a massive leap closer for you all.

For all you non-Pennsylvania Dutch.... Rutsching (Rutsched): Rutsching is another loanword that comes from the Pennsylvania Dutch verb “rutsche,” meaning to squirm. The term rutsching utilizes the English suffix “ing,” Butch Reigart, the dialect teacher at Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society, explained. Reigart also mentioned that “rutschy” is used as an adjective to mean “can’t sit still.” You are welcum. 😊
"Anniversary" always meant something different to us, in my generation. (And, yes, I have a 51-year-old daughter who has been married for 29 years.) >>> Happy anniversary 🎉 to my daughter!
I had to smile and let out a little chortle when I saw the tell tale black and orange colors of the tape measure… Pittsburgh (Harbor Freight) tape measure to put on a wing. It only goes to show, the best tape is the one in your hand. I can’t wait to see the phoenix rise again.
I’ve been enjoying the progress of the 401 from the beginning. On the downside I’ve been getting more and more annoyed by the over dramatic music. In my opinion I’d much rather hear the sounds of work and tools and such. I realize not everyone feels the same way but for me music has its place but not in a work environment.
In the lyrics of a popular Guy Clark song. “ Stuff that works, stuff that holds up The kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall Stuff that's real, stuff you feel The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall.” These onions are spicy.
The only problem with putting wings on (as I found out) is having to walk all the way around the darn things every time you forgot a tool or part. Every part or tool you will need from now on will be on the opposite side of the wing from wherever you are. At first it doesn't seem like a big deal, but after a while you begin to realize how much time you are wasting walking around the darn wings!
Have followed the rebuild of the 401 from day 1, that was quite an emotional speech Jason. I really look forward to seeing the rescue missions especially animal rescues. I am passionate about animal welfare so for you guys to use the 401 for these types of rescues, as well as many others I am truly grateful. Please accept a small donation to help these missions come alive. Great work done by all, truly a team effort.
Great job guys this was a huge step and you guys aced it. Personally I was worried after seeing how hard the wings were to get off and putting different wings back on seemed kinda another challenge. Quality control at Cessna came through an you guys hard work made it happen. Great video Congratulations. Big hurdle jumped!!!
You got me with the co-pilot decal. Congratulations on a huge win getting those wings on without a reciprocating saw. So glad to be able to tag along on this journey. ☮
A great big effort from all the guys. I am not sure if I have said this before, but I am watching this from England. So it will be great to see it fly on video, if that's possible. When you have it all finished. And ready to fly! 🙂
Can anyone explain why they were so adamant they weren't hitting the bolts hard? In aviation is everything supposed to fit without any binding and so any hammering can be considered not compliant or something?
Is there a reason why you guys don't have the maintenance manual, or IPC readily available at least electronically you have to have that when you do this type of work you can't be shooting from the hip.
It is awesome to see a community come together and awesome to see the wings on and the 401 sitting almost on its own weight again. I was crying when putting the first name on, lost my mother to cancer three years ago, it’s hard for me but it has been harder for my father, they were married 44 years. Great job on the hard work y’all have done on getting the Phoenix one step closer to flying again keep up the good work.
As always, it is great to follow along. This has been a total unique thing at least from my point of view on TH-cam. The way you just brings everyone in on it and what you guys do for the people around you and the plan and vision for this plane and the yacht and everything- it brings back hope that the world can be a better place. Its great to tag along. I love to see stuff being pulled apart, made nice and put back together again. Doesn't matter if its a plane, car or a yacht. And when you bring so many in on the action it just becomes a unique thing for me. World need less drama and more rebuilds hahaha. I used to restore and mod cars in another life, and would love to do it again but I'm uncertain if thats ever gonna be possible again because of unexpected health issues (the wheelchair kind of issues), so to be able to sit here and watch a bunch of people like you doing this every Saturday - to me its not just enjoyable but its a part of the week I really look forward to. Thanks!
Great job. As someone battling grade 3 Brian cancer. And have followed along every step of this Journey. This Brought tears to my eyes. Keep up the good work. Also a long time sprint car fan. And aviation nut. Would love to meet the team at some point.
The family created from this channel is one of the best things that has happened to all of us. Thank you for being apart of that family and sharing your story Brother. We are all here for you, don't hesitate to reach out to me.❤️
before you put the wall interior back in you should try to get every one to sing there names on a spot in thee phenix thought that might be a really cool idea
This was a huge step for the project… It was great to be available to help make it happen!
Couldn't ask for a better team 👍🏻 Thank you for your help Brother
@@rebuildrescue Can you believe it's been just over two years already? We've come a long from some weirdo down at the end of the tarmac just trying to get to the spark plugs with all the bird stuff in the way...
Cheers mate 🍻
It's a huge jump to see him back on the air, Fantastic job and an amazing team.
Thank you
This is huge for sure, a great team effort!
Amazing work everyone. Your love and dedication to this project is soo appreciated by many. I’m so happy to be part of this industry.
Thank you for being apart of this channel as well! We are glad you enjoyed❤️
Finally you start to approach the finish line! Your patience inspires me.
We couldn't do it without you guys!
Guys, I fully approve the added sound and video fx in this episode. They were hilarious and not too over the top as to be distracting.
Hello from the UK. When I saw the intro issue where you almost swore. I was a little concerned that it was going to be something far worse than a missing washer. Outstanding progress made and really looking forward to the next episode.
Awesome onces again a new episode. Soo excited.. keep up the great work team.

Thank you for your dedication to the 401 Shane! Glad to see you this morning.
Awesome work need to be acknowledged. Yall are doing a amazing job.🎉
I watched this adventure since that cold day when you tried to start the engines. A major mile stone getting a wing on. 👍.
By the time Joes dental work is finished, he'll have a smile like Tony Curtis in the movie "The Great Race" A diamond glint every time he smiles.

Happy Anniversary!
That was Top shelf fellas Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Eric !! Thanks for watching
Is it not best to paint everything before assembly?
LEGENDARY !!!
I can’t believe that’s how wings are attached. I always envisions huge rods going through the wing and fuselage. This is nits
I guess you could say you were "winging it!" ;)
we're so close now!
all we need is the engines, avionics and some paint :)
Awesome progress and subscribed to the guys to watch their progress too 💪💪 after the Phoenix you have to do a warbird 🤞🤞
Bravo.perfect
This is such a big step for the 401. As far as the tribute to Elaine...I'm not crying, you are. ❤️
Huge milestone and tribute to Elaine!
Elaine is one in a million. She touched so many lives with her light and love. What an incredible tribute. ❤
Over explaining makes you sound guilty.
The Phoenix has her 1st angle!
Prayers to you sir, and thank you Rebuild Rescue (all of you) for this gesture. Brought tears to my eyes.
Great milestone completed and an awesome team!
Angel not angle
I've been watching your videos on the 401 for over a year now and just recently discovered your hanger is 5 min from my house. I'd love to take my daughter to see this puppy fly when the day comes !!!!
A huge milestone getting the wings installed. With your heavenly co-pilot onboard, the Phoenix will soar again soon. Great job from a great team.
This is huge! Wings on at last. Quite a milestone. I've been watching the whole 401 thing from Australia. So much talent to make it happen. Thanks.
Thank you for believing in the 401 and us👍🏻
Agreed. Huge milestone!
Great job to all! As an A&P IA since the 70’s, I’ve hung a few pair of twin Cessna wings, some are smooth, some are frustrating. You guys did wonderful! Hats off to you all!
Thank you David!!!
Appreciate the comment as an AP/IA. It wasn’t easy but went well overall, great team. It is also looking great!
That these line up this well is wonderful. Great job.
The wings are on very much enjoy this video one more step closer the end was a tear full ending but you can bet she is looking down with a big smile on her face knowing she will be flying with you all for ever 😢
Good job guys!
Thank you!
Also love your channel Brother…. Would love to connect with you !
Jason@RebuildRescue.com
You're my inspiration. I have followed the channel from day one. I am embarking on a similar project in Zambia. All the best.
Awesome! Thank you for following along, keep us updated on your project ! 👍🏻
Awesome. Good luck with your project as well! Embrace the process!
T.G.I.R.R.S. ==== THANK GOD ITS REBUILD RESCUE SATURDAY
😂👍🏻Glad to you're here this morning Brother, enjoy the episode !
It will be flying in no time. Awesome job guys. Props from Portugal.
Definitely a great team effort!
I thought that the props were from England. 😁😁😁
Also cool props from the Philippines 💞💞
What an amazing milestone the First Angel was a member of the team, partaking in reconnecting Phoenix with her new wings.
This episode sums up what this restoration represents & the Rebuild Rescue community is all
about.
Blessing to all 🙏
Agreed!
Thank you for your kind message, we will continue to work hard in the name of those we love and for everyone involved and supporting!
All it takes is allot of great people helping together. Nice to see the wings on!
🎉 well done guys it’s been a long road and I am enjoying every weeks episode, massive step this week 401 forever 🎉🎉
Thank you for your support Matthew ! We couldn't do this without all the support you guys show us !
The Rebuild Rescue crew was great to work with. Unfortunately I missed work day three, looking forward to seeing it in person on the gear myself.
Love you Elaine ❤ hopefully the Last name can be fixed when the final vinyl is placed to “Cloward” ☺️
Wow, I have to say Max handled that with diplomacy and grace.
The Decal company had misspelled it and we all noticed it and fixed it right after the video was shot. Thank you for letting us know
Jason, what an amazing and touching video. The Elaine sticker had everyone choked up, I'm sure. This had to be the most satisfying videos to produce for this project. I would imagine the only one to compare so far would be getting the 2nd engine to fire up. It's been a long road with many obstacles, but the journey seems to be nearing the end. The shear relief of seeing the Phoenix with her new wings had to be very emotional. (Lt. Dan, you got new legs!!!) This has to be my favorite video to date. Hope it gets 10 Million views.
So excited to see the final product.

Long journey with a great milestone!
Good to see this!! Successfully picked up my free airplane and starting to bring it back to life.
Slowly but surely !!
@@rebuildrescue Thank you guys for the inspiration. Starting with new cables and finishing with new paint, updated engine, and prop. Hopefully, finished by next year at the latest. The Phoenix is going to look so good!!
Wow the wings are on . One of the best videos yet. Seems like it wasn't all that long ago
that you took the old ones off. Having that co pilot was so neat. That was a very humbling moment. Sooper cool.
Glad you enjoyed it, we appreciate your message Gary!
Agreed!
So much good stuff to come, running lines and cables and connections for the wings, mounting the engines, running lines and cables in the interior, hardware and gauges, can't wait.

@@rebuildrescue Absolutely, thanks for taking the time to reply.
Yes, lots of fine details ahead!
You can tell the plane wants to fly again. Though your collective will to see it through will make it able to do so again.
It’s looking whole again. 💪🏻
After watching them come off. I was certain that putting them back on was going to be a nightmare. Great work with the details!
I can see how much this means to you Jason and I’m so happy for you. What a momentous achievement to be here now. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Thank you for your overwhelming support! Everyone here at Rebuild Rescue appreciates your positivity👍🏻
What an amazing achievement. This episode really brought together the ultimate reason the project is a success. Bringing people together and paying tribute to those watching over us. Well done, Rebuild Rescue Team.
Exciting milestone and great see everything that went into this episode.
I enjoy the rebuild content on the 401 but I have a question where is Little Joe? the technician who did the maintenance on the Trinidad Socata, you haven't had him on since he helped remove the vertical stabilizer on the 401
Great stuff as always, coming together for sure- starting to be able to see the finish line! Have a great weekend brother-
Thank you for your constant support Brother, it means the world 👍🏻

Thank you Steve
Everyone loves fresh frozen bolts. Much better than those old, room temperature ones.
😂👍🏻
Especially with a good frosting of CPC.
Most excellent!
Love your work from Australia
Awesome! Thank you! We hope you enjoy todays episode 👍🏻
What an AWESOME video! Seeing the wings go on is really bringing this MAJOR project together! Such an awesome team you have put together Jason, and such hard workers, including yourself. I LOVE this project and have been following it since your very first video. So exciting! I look forward to every episode.

We are happy you're excited with us, thank you for being apart of the Rescue Crew Brother !
Wow! Beautiful! Had me choked up at the end. ❤❤
Great work gents!
Thank you so much!
Great team for sure!
Good to see the 401 looking like an aircraft again
It was a big day for all of us ! Thank you for watching !
Yes… it’s looking closer to whole again!
Still hooked, been watching from day one. Excellent work guys
Day one supporters mean so much to all of us here, thank you for keeping the faith ❤️
I have had my concerns at times in the beginning to be sure, that you probably didn't "truly understand" the complexity of the job that was ahead of you all.
The with mad rush to paint the fuselage, a prime example. but, I will also say to you all, that from that project "re-set" point, the project has got a lot more relistic in its goals and outlook.
I'm genuinely impressed by the team's determination and dedication as the project continues to mature.
I will also tell you that I'm strangely emotional for all of you after your latest instalment today.
This is the "end of the beginning", and you should all be very proud of yourselves.
It's now the beginning of the end now, for this fantastic project.
You still have a ton of work left to do, but the aircraft will now start to accelerate and come on in leaps and bounds as you start to re-install the various sub-systems, such as the electrical system and the engines etc, and breed new life back in to the aircraft once again.
I tell you, the day you finallv plug electrical ground power onto the aircraft for the first time, following the rebuild, is going to truly be the day that the aircraft will finally, "truly" come to life again, and that day will be a massive leap closer for you all.

29:10 Absolutely amazing sound effects! Mind blowingly good. Oscar winning foley artist right there brother.
😂😂🤣
I had to smile and let out a little chortle when I saw the tell tale black and orange colors of the tape measure… Pittsburgh (Harbor Freight) tape measure to put on a wing. It only goes to show, the best tape is the one in your hand. I can’t wait to see the phoenix rise again.
You have so many ads on your vids, GOSH. Evry 4th min
It’s like an infomercial channel
19:20: "Can you grab me another bolt?" Me yelling: "AND WASHER! Don't forget the washer this time!"
I have to commend Jason . ❤️ He has the biggest heart.❤️ well done guys such an achievement this episode.
I’ve been enjoying the progress of the 401 from the beginning. On the downside I’ve been getting more and more annoyed by the over dramatic music. In my opinion I’d much rather hear the sounds of work and tools and such. I realize not everyone feels the same way but for me music has its place but not in a work environment.
Great to see the Phoenix has its wings again. Extremely touching moment adding your copilot inscription to the fuselage. Love the video.
Thank you for your kind message, we are glad you're here with us and enjoyed the episode.👍🏻❤️
What’s the schedule for painting? I thought the 401 was going someplace for paint. So happy wings back on
I am excited seeing it get this far, cant wait for the engine installation.
Your dedication to the channel means the world Brother, thank you for being here with us

100% !!
The day of first flight… That will be something to watch more than once!
Great episode, well done on the wings, brilliant tribute to Elaine ❤
Thank you!
Can anyone explain why they were so adamant they weren't hitting the bolts hard? In aviation is everything supposed to fit without any binding and so any hammering can be considered not compliant or something?
The 401 looks so good now with the wings on ceep up the good work. Looking forward for the next episode
Thank you for watching and supporting Travis!
Agreed, it’s looking great!
You would think that the company that did the wing modification would warranty it against being twisted...
Way to GO Crew...Great Job!
Great achievement, wings on!!!
The wings and gear down is huge!
Wow, awesome progress. I really wondered how you would do it, after you had to cut holes to get the old wings off. Nice work and a HUGE step forward.
Is there a reason why you guys don't have the maintenance manual, or IPC readily available at least electronically you have to have that when you do this type of work you can't be shooting from the hip.
Huge Progress!!
We appreciate your positivity Sean👍🏻
Well Done Boys
It is awesome to see a community come together and awesome to see the wings on and the 401 sitting almost on its own weight again. I was crying when putting the first name on, lost my mother to cancer three years ago, it’s hard for me but it has been harder for my father, they were married 44 years. Great job on the hard work y’all have done on getting the Phoenix one step closer to flying again keep up the good work.
Man! Best episode on the 401 Thus Far! Really love the tribute!
Wow, thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻
In next weeks episode: The team find a weird issue that requires them to take the wings back off featuring yet another birds nest.
Rebuild Saturday!!!! Woop woop!!!!!
😂 Thank you for stopping by this morning James
22:50. Don't just rely on feel if you have a bore scope. Those lit cameras can help you see even better than most cell phones.
Exciting to see her almost ready to fly! And what a beautiful gesture to have that decal made with Elaine's name on there! Very heartfelt. ❤
Thank you for your positivity, we are glad you enjoyed the episode
As always, it is great to follow along. This has been a total unique thing at least from my point of view on TH-cam. The way you just brings everyone in on it and what you guys do for the people around you and the plan and vision for this plane and the yacht and everything- it brings back hope that the world can be a better place.
Its great to tag along. I love to see stuff being pulled apart, made nice and put back together again. Doesn't matter if its a plane, car or a yacht. And when you bring so many in on the action it just becomes a unique thing for me. World need less drama and more rebuilds hahaha.
I used to restore and mod cars in another life, and would love to do it again but I'm uncertain if thats ever gonna be possible again because of unexpected health issues (the wheelchair kind of issues), so to be able to sit here and watch a bunch of people like you doing this every Saturday - to me its not just enjoyable but its a part of the week I really look forward to.
Thanks!
Great job. As someone battling grade 3 Brian cancer. And have followed along every step of this Journey. This Brought tears to my eyes. Keep up the good work. Also a long time sprint car fan. And aviation nut. Would love to meet the team at some point.
The family created from this channel is one of the best things that has happened to all of us. Thank you for being apart of that family and sharing your story Brother. We are all here for you, don't hesitate to reach out to me.❤️
Great episode for sure. Stay well and be blessed!
before you put the wall interior back in you should try to get every one to sing there names on a spot in thee phenix thought that might be a really cool idea
