When you are re-installing the wing gap fairings (between the fuselage wing stub and the inboard wing) BE SURE to use the correct countersunk screws. The standard AN 507 screw (used on inspection panels) is not strong enough. The parts manual calls for AN 509 screws. These screws have the same shear strength as a standard AN3 bolt. The gap fairings are a structural member transferring wing loading (from the top and bottom skins) to the fuselage wing stubs. This error cost an A&P friend his job.

I helped do an annual on a 401 once. Alll the inspection panels (Every. Single. One.) were removed. All the floorboards were removed, the empanage panel was removed and the cables were inspected. The structures of the flaps and control surfaces were inspected for missing rivets. The gear was swung a cople of times because some to the linkages were out of adjustment. The flap transmission needed to be relpaced for some reason. Every single screw was replaced as most of the origional ones were corroded or buggered up in some way. In all it took most of a winter to do, and was the most screwing that I've ever done in my life (mechanical or...otherwise). I can still hear the Dewalt cordless screwdriver in my sleep. Kudos for doing this one right. It's a lot of work. Also, control locks are your friends! The rudder on those things don't take too well to flopping about in the breeze.

Love this series - and getting to witness the growth of both the 401 project as well as the Rebuild Rescue team is absolutely phenomenal! Glad to see Jason is up and out of that wheelchair!

You have a great resource in your (35 year) experienced A&P AI. I’m sure he knows the weak link in twin Cessna landing gear is the intermediate link for the nose gear Extention/retraction rod. The idler arm bolt (located in the vicinity under the pilots feet)is prone to shear resulting in the nose gear not extending. Many a twin Cessna has been scraped because it ends up on its nose destroying both props and engines. The bolt wears from pilots extending the gear at too high an airspeed and eventually shears. There is a Service Bulletin on reinforcing the structure in this area also.

You had some rough luck through this project, and wreckin' yer Knee, but your persistence, and enthusiasm earned you these maintenance records, increases the value of the plane......and fills in any doubts about exactly where the airplane is, mechanically. Great Find!

Only after seeing the close-up of the lowered tailplane do I realize that this is a really big aircraft! Wikipedia tells us: The Cessna 401 and 402 are a series of 6 to 10 seat, light twin-piston engine aircraft.

It would surprise me if it is not only possible to replace the spar straps with the wings off but it is the easiest and best way to do it. The only reason that company told you that it must be done with the wings on is to make sure you don't realize how easy it would be to do it in house. They want to make sure they get your business because there aren't too many 401s still in operation so they don't have very many people looking for that service from them.

@@masco26 thanks, yeah I figured it out when he started asking to much of personal info and wanted money for shopping

It would have been neat if you had the ability to weigh the plane before and after cleaning to see how many pounds of debris came out of the plane. Love the build can't wait to see take off for the first in 13yrs. 🛩

Or he could'uv just weighed all the trash that came out of it.

Hi Jason, I'm really shocked that Sam didn't remember all those important log records were in those file cabinets. I can't imagine anyone forgetting something like that. 😒😒😒

Really appreciate Joe and his years of experience and knowledge.

I found your channel like 2 days ago and I’ve just finished all of the 401 videos, now I actually have to wait to watch more!

👍new episode yes, i love watching these

I just realized I probably controlled this plane back in the 90's when I worked in the towers of CDW and later in TEB before I transferred down to DCA and then PCT Tracon.

I was in the tower back in 96 I guided down a 707 flown by a passenger because the flight crew were incapacitated by contaminated fish with multiple engines failed, failed landing gear and fuselage blowout.

I really like the color and the paint scheme... Hope you keep it...

What a score that is finding the last Annual paperwork! When you opened that stab panel full of bird's nest I seriously laughed so hard. They'll always find a way! lol

You should have a battery tender always hooked up when the battery sits for weeks.

We actually keep the battery unhooked as were not certain about the condition of the wiring and the last thing we want is an electrical fire in the hangar.

@@rebuildrescue that won't replace the drain from running electrical motors and no charging system. Hook the battery tender to the battery without the battery connected to the plane. U gotta keep the actual battery always up to state of charge especially after running large loads like the flaps and landing gear.

Have you weighed all the stuff you have taken/vacuumed out of this? It would be interesting to see just how much weight there was in it.

I wish we would have…. I’d estimate 100lbs at this point.

I love keeping up with this build I can’t wait to see it done! I hope it doesn’t get rushed and comes out perfect. I’ve wanted to be a pilot since I was 5 and this series really got me to look into what it will take to get my ppl and cpl. love the look of the 401!

🛫📖🛬 G'Day, Brother, So glad your leg is well and you're doing great. For the sake of all of the aviation buffs (flying and non-flying) and everyone that contributed anything to the rebuild cause of the 401,and the generosity and expectation of its owner; I appeal to you to stay focused on this job to it's completion. Average folks really get disillusioned when other non-related episodes seem to take preeminence. Your vision for this Bird's future is such a noble and wonderful plan and can really affect and change the lives of many people. Cordially&Best wishes 📖🛐✈️🐆

I'm amazed how this trashcan is really turning into an air worthy plane. Good job guys! 🙂

When your vacuuming like that have a dry paintbrush in hand to agitate the dirt free. Great channel, cheers for the updates.

You can talk and work with out all the talk breaks it would flow better. In the industry it's call talking with your hands! What that means is talk as your working.

Wow! I am excited for this Airplane. This will be a “401 Radical Flyer. “. Thank you so much.

Been enjoying the series. I know this is going to be a long time before its complete. I have had a love for flying as far back as i can remember. What you are dong with this project is amazing, and what you want to do with it when its complete is even better. As for when you will open up a panel and not find signs of critter habitation, that might not happen until after your second or third annual. No experience with rescuing abandoned vehicles my self, so just guessing. You can reach only so far and until you put some hours on it in normal operation and shake all the lose dirt and what not down to the low points you may still find signs of past residents. Keep up the hard work. looking forward to seeing the old girl back in the air doing what she was meant to do. Want to wish you calm winds and clear skies in all your ventures.
