The Free Abandoned Airplane Gets A New Panel !

We had a surprise show up in the mail this week and wanted to share the update with everyone. Our new panel template is here and we can finally mark up whatever changes need to be made so that when we get our brand new upgraded panel, everything should fit perfectly! It might not seem like much but this is yet another crucial step that needed to be taken to get us that much closer to completing this project!

If you’d like to get your panel looking fresh and new reach out to Superior !

the last two minutes of this video are gripping... my favorite part of the episode.

Sam/Dopey will not be forgotten. Much love to his family and friends finding their way through this holiday season without him.
Been here since the first 401 video - staying until it's finished. That panel template looks very cool.
Happy Holidays to the entire Rebuild Rescue family! ☮

Can't wait for that new panel to get installed. So glad to see you're doing more work on the 401. It's fun seeing other planes get rescued, but this was the project that made me a subscriber and I'd love to see more stuff getting done on it.

After approx 5 years & a shedload of GoFundMe money, this project has finally got a template for the instrument panel. Looking forward to the first flight. Have booked a day off for 2040. Painfully slow progress.

401!! I joined this channel several months ago, and I’ve very slowly begun to watch the entire 401 saga. It’s great to see a new addition.

[wlento]

Yay!!! your still fixing the 401 please don't stop, , that's the main reason I joined the channel

Hi Jason. Finally another episode of the 401! Yeepy-Ka-Yeeeeyyy!
As I said long time ago, this particular type of aircraft has a significant meaning to me, because, when I made my PPL instruction in my local airport witch was the homebase of the aeronautical department of the Government from the province I live in, they had 3 different airplanes: a twin P Aztec, a Rockwell Commander 980 twin turbine and a C 402, similar to the one you bought from the Netherlands. So, every time I see an update to the 401 I can´t help asking myself how long it´s going to take until she flies again. I´m already chilling a bottle of nice champagne for that occasion.
I wish you, your family and friends a M X-mas and a HNY.
Cheers from NE Patagonia, Argentina.

Looks great! A glass cockpit in a 50 year old airplane is amazing. What a difference. When I was learning to fly it was all "steam gages", slow gyros, 1 comm and 1 nav and no transponder.

[FranktheTank-bkme]

Thanks for the update. The cockpit panel is going to look really cool 👍😎

[ShawnPossible]

That panel is going to look amazing!! Cue the Tim Allen grunt... Merry Christmas everyone and please keep in mind those who are alone for the holidays; they need us more than ever.

Keep grinding on this beautiful flying machine. Project fatigue is a real thing and we need occasional breaks from the intensity and focus a project like this demands. You’re creating a work of art as well as a practical project. Anybody with extra cash can buy a plane. You’re creating something beautiful. Stay at it men. Perseverance is the key.

Good morning, Jason and the Rebuild Rescue crew! So happy to see another episode focused on the 401! I am looking forward to seeing the day the Phoenix is completed and on its first flight!

Merry Christmas 🎄

Yesss back again thanks🎉.Greetings from Norway

[Heyello]

Glad to see a few more parts for the Phoenix! Best of luck, rooting for you from an RCAF aircraft technician!

I’d put the Radar back in. My grandfather had three aircraft including a 414 and 421 with color radar. Originally after purchasing the 414 he didn’t care however after utilizing it he realized it gave him much better situational awareness. He liked being able to move the radar and take a look at the weather in front of us before taking off.

I think I just watched all 81 videos in this series in the last 4 days…. I’ve worked some pretty amazing aircraft in my time as an aircraft mechanic, but there’s just something so satisfying about tearing down an aircraft from scratch and building it back 150%. I think you have my dream job.

I finally caught up to the 401 progress today. I realize it's taken a very long time, lots of painstaking hours and money that generous people willingly dontated to your cause and your project. Keep going! As you said, 1 step at a time. For those who have lost interest, that's unfortunate. I doubt anyone else would have done this better and you'll have a plane that will go down in history. You're doing it the right way albeit I get pissed at you sometimes for missing stuff and then having to go back and do it :) but hey, that's learning! Thank you for what you're doing and providing great entertainment and knowledge to us couch mechanics.

[Flow-.-]

I remember in the earlier videos, lots of comments saying it would be impossible, and for you guys to just give up. Love that you guys are still at it!

[PABLOSTEL]

Incredible!!! New panel !!

It's like they made the whole plane again!! how much effort!! In really great.

Glad to see the 401. Merry Christmas everyone
