I recently saw the video about your landing incident, and it reminded me of mine, though I had far worse conditions to deal with than you. Basically, me and my family were all loaded up in my 1967 Cessna T337B Turbo Super Skymaster, and we were planning on a rather long flight, so we were pretty heavily fueled up, and somewhat close to max takeoff weight. About 30 minutes into the flight, the rear engine decides it's a good time to seize up. Obviously I call mayday, and immediately turn around, throttling up the front engine almost all the way to compensate for the loss of the rear one. As we neared the runway, I realized that I was still almost 500 pounds overweight, I was significantly overspeeding to avoid stalling, and to top it all off, there was a 7 knot crosswind. Just before we touched down, I shouted for my family to brace for impact, and I'm glad I did, because as soon as we landed, the tire on the left main landing gear blew out, and we went careening off the runway, and onto the grass. As soon as that happened, the tireless left main gear dug in, causing the whole plane to pitch forward and turn, which caused the nose gear to collapse. Somehow we all only got cuts and bruises, though less could be said for my Cessna. That being said, I got her fixed, and she still hauls my family to this day.
If you get a plane that is too far gone, you should try and build a mobile flight simulator out of the shell. Maybe mount it to the back of a trailer so you can bring it around to schools or events and stuff.
Microsoft flight simulator and about four or five 4K monitors will make it feel pretty realistic. Getting the controls and the gauges to work might be a bit challenging, but it should be doable.
Growing up in a body shop and still a part-time restoration mechanic, I can appreciate taking on someone else's mechanical problem, understanding past repairs and reversing the effects of time and neglect. Or, simply put, making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You do it very, very well and are driven by a chairitable purpose.
Yeah I am one who loves to do the same. I like seeing what's good in something others see as junk and then restoring it. It's an amazing feeling. Then there's guys like that youtube channel whistling diesel that take new or restored things they buy and just tear the crap out of it for youtube views. I absolutely can't stand those guys. My cousin said they bought a restored cub and screwed it all up. I refused to watch it.
@@lovetofly32 I cringe daily at what I see damaged or destroyed on RUclips. Money or not, if you're going to ruin something you should have a lot of sweat equity in it. I've told my son, a mechanic by profession, I wanted the following on my tombstone: "Wait! Don't throw that away. We might need that." Recently while cleaning out one of my garages I heard my son say the same thing. He's almost thirty, a father and I'm a grandfather. I went over to him, threw my arms around him unexpectedly, and hugged him. Shocked, he looked at me and asked what that was for. I replied, "You finally understand why keeping things you don't need at the moment can be priceless to you later on."
I'm not sure how much give is in the suspension. But a friend of mine gets his side by side in a toy hauler by strapping the suspension together. Pulling the tires closer together so it will clear the doorway. It makes it not as wide.
Hey Jason, absolutely love the video and everything you do at Rebuild Rescue. I thought I would let you know that the sponsor for this video Kamikoto knives are a scam, they are the worst cheap steel and aren't even made in Japan, in short they are a scam! There is a great RUclips channel called Shadiversity, the guy who runs it is called Shad and he is a bladed weapons expert, he did a whole video on Kamikoto showing everything wrong with them... I didn't think you would want to be associated with a scam company!
Great find! I just enjoy your enthusiasm and how you just continue to surprise us! It brings tears to my eyes with your legacy ideas. Thank you so much for thinking of the students.
I updated the panel in my 172 to a metal panel and took out almost all of the old stuff. Panel now has a G5 ADI and a G5 HSI. Took out the vacuum system. Avionics’s are now a GMA340, GTN650, Garmin slimline 30 and a GTX345, ADSB in and out . Works great
I cannot believe coming across this video. I learned to fly at Arve’s flight school, MC Aviation. I got my instrument in N98694 and took my family on vacation in it. Went on to become an instructor and worked for Arve and Emily. That K35 used to have the tail number 666R and I had an engine out @ 800’ AGL after take off while checking out another pilot in it. I later transitioned into a Citation when Arve moved into doing Charter Flights.
Another blessing of another project! X2. You guys truly have your hands full with these, 401, motor yacht and the Healy! Whatever happened to the Healy? I did enter competition…..
IMHO, free airplane is an oxymoron! Most people just don’t have the resources it took to disassemble the 172 and cart it home. Thx for taking us along.
I think you are on the right path with the plane you plan on using for flight school training. Make it look great inside and out, but keep it simple. People going through those flight schools have a lot to learn, so having an easy to learn and operate plane is a huge plus. As far as paint, I'd go with the same paint scheme it has on it now, looks good, but not overpowering....these planes are more a workhorse plane than a looking pretty plane anyways, I'm sure they'll get some dings and scratches due to the type of usage they will have but an easy to do paint scheme will make repairs that much easier, quicker, and cheaper.
The V-tail Bonanza at the beginning caught my attention since I have fond memories of them with regard to my early hours, after having spent a lot of time in one growing up.
Wish I could be apart of this restoration. Million Air GPT, Arve and Emily introduced me into the world of aviation. Great people, employer, mentors and friends. I wouldn’t be where I am in my aviation career (A&P), if it wasn’t for them. Can’t wait to see these planes flying.
@@rebuildrescue will do. Currently have a 4.0 GPA! Getting more and more into hands on portions and applying months of book knowledge… FARs… haha. It was rough class but important. Nine months to go.
Man this vision of training pilots and making rescue flights is really amazing and something that really gives me a feel good feeling! I'd love to help out with flying the planes but unfortunately I haven't got a PPL or anything.. It's waaay to expensive in my country. I guess i'll just increase my flight simulator hours by a few more thousands and keeping the dream alive that way! :) Keep up the amazing work! it's truly amazing!
That's cool. I've always wanted a project airplane , cant touch anything for under 5 grand here. I sure wish I could come across free air craft . I'm loving the content here
Don’t think you really need another project. But, that seems to be the thing on UTube. I like seeing something from start to finish. Not adding things that are going to sit. Thanks for sharing!
When you consider how many small planes are crashed every year, saving an old one can be a profitable enterprise, if done right. Compare price to new. Example, anew Piper PA-28-181 $410,000 for a flight school version..
The trick it is not any "one" taking on the task. It is everyone together who make it possible. My grandma used to tell me a saying, when I was so young, "one hand alone can't clap"... Thanks to all that make it possible, each in his and her own way. Some by watching and sharing, some by donating, some by offering equipment, some by volunteering... There are so many ways. It shows us that when hands get together, they do the impossible, possible. Thank you all
Its just the same as people fixing up cars that are too far gone. Usually its people with too much money that do stuff like that. In the case of Rebuild Rescue I think a lot of the costs are absorbed by the various organizations he has, as well as sponsors, and donations. Getting a plane that is able to be repaired like these 2 is only a small fraction of the battle and with the case of these 2 planes being free, that's a major cost savings, even with having to truck them back to his hanger is a heck of a lot cheaper than a new plane by far.
Please look at the panel that Angle of Attack used. It is the perfect flight school panel, IMHOP. Clean but fully capable, without being too complex for beginners.
That airplane is in good shape. Strip it but repaint it in the same colors but a more slim water flowing full length stripes. If this is for students keep the same size tires just in case they have a tire blowout at a different airport. Easy replacement and no downtime. Engine should be O-360 carburetor and keep it fixed pitch. No additional engine controls to add. Interior is easy to do through Airtex airplane interiors. I did mine and looks great. Do overdo the panel. Update it to IFR standards and put in a JPI EDM 900. Great tool. This will be a perfect training airplane.
Wow them wings came off way easier than the 401 who thinks the 401 is being stubborn 😂. Can’t wait to see what happens with this plan it would be cool to see modern technology inside the airplane and new upholstery and a new paint job and a bigger engine course who doesn’t love more power haha. It will be a cool airplane once it’s done and it’s good your carrying on the legacy. Thanks for taking us along on the Journey take care Edited that was a close on the trailer and is definitely a sketchy one
The 172 wings have those struts (diagonal from bottom of the fuselage to the wing) for support instead of being cantilevered so they don't need to be as solidly mounted. Plus they must simply be a lot lighter!
In fact I think while in the air flying practically the only force on the wing root on the 172 is a horizontal push from the wing into the fuselage and ALL the weight of the fuselage is hanging off the struts.
Someone needs to teach how to get some give-aways like this. I'm a high school teacher, and I started an after school aviation club with 12 kids who can hardly contain their excitement in just talking about airplanes. But I can't get the local FBO/flight school to even answer emails. I would love to be able to get our hands on something that we could make our own, rebuild over the course of several years, learn, and get kids into the air. Half of the students haven't even sat in an airplane, let alone been allowed to fly in one, but... I guess people are giving them away for free? Looking forward to seeing what becomes of these, and continually amazed at what you are able to do with stuff like this. What do you even do for a job? That would be another lesson my students could use, cause I can't make sense of it myself!
Welcome to the beautiful Mississippi gulf coast I hope you had a wonderful time visiting. I live right up the road from John C Stennis space center where they test the rockets. Stennis airport you can eat at the cafe and watch aircraft come and go during your meal and it's fun watching the aircraft
THANK YOU.... I am so tired of seeing commercials on youtube - thanks for at least trying to make it entertaining. As a non-successful youtuber... I hate commercials. lol.
Talk to Josh at Aviation101 when it's time to do the panels on them birds! Daytona Aircraft Services did such a fantastic work on N80991 panel, I really like it! 😛👍 The hangar is getting smaller by the video it seems, and I love it! 😁 Can't wait to see these lovely aircraft getting back into the sky where they belong! 😛👍
get it all setup and bring it to Florida so some of us can learn to fly.... Like the different engine and bigger tires (not Bush Tires). Refresh the paint the way it looks maybe add more color to the wings.
I love the K35, hoping to find one in the next couple of years. Perfect balance of speed and useful load for my mission. Hope you can work your magic and the ruddervators aren't too far gone.
For the C172. I wouldn't go too far with the avionic. Say G5, modern radios, VOR/DME just enough for them to do a cross country. Because their next plane may be a cheap steam avionics system. So get them used to the standard instruments, so they have a good basic grounding.
I'm surprize there isn't a t-shirt with "We are here at the hangar..." LOL... Looking forward for the Rescue Airline, you guys starts to have enough planes for that ;) Love your videos :)
I used to have a good trailer for airplanes because I pulled aircoup from Tennessee to Florida and had to refit the trailer to work so we did it. Its fun moving them like that. The trailer is gone now but its not hard to fit it to work.
Great job Jason and crew!!! Man, you are building your self a small air force. LOL. I know each of those planes will be put to good use. Keep up the great job Jason!!!
It's always been my dream to learn to fly and do more than just get my license but it's always been just out of reach. Way to go wanting to help people in my situation with your new program!!!
I would install an engine that would match what training Skyhawks have and not more. If the Wings attach without issues, I would then concentrate on a Modern Panel that Students would benefit from. As far as cleanup on the surfaces, I would not proceed on paint. Mechanically safe and flyable is all Students require. If it’s donated to a School, they can can take care of appearance after.
I flew a bonanza with my dad and family from Archerfield to Rockampton (Queensland, Australia) They have an interesting weight and balance issue when fully loaded as fuel drains that causes porpoising, fortunately my dad (PIC) was warned about this, so we were able to deal with it in flight simply by sliding the seats forward... As the back seat passenger during the check flights my job was to hand wind the gear back up after practicing landing gear failures. We returned to Archerfield with 1 less passenger and bags.
Back in the 70's when I was taking flight training, they had an old Cessna 150. That 150 had a 150HP engine. They used that thing to tow banners, and flight instruction. It would clime like crazy. We nicknamed that thing "Shake and Bake". Honestly, I think your 172 looks better that it did!! LOL!!
Get some steel plates and sq.tubing to fit the trailer (similar to what you would use to hold a camper down to the truck)..Plates to extend width of trailer for the landing gear..
Honestly if your goal is to help train new pilots, try to get Garmin on board with a G1000 panel. New pilots are moving to regionals with glass cockpits and pilots need that experience. As far as the pain, why not go with the original paint scheme. That will certainly pay tribute if that was the original owners favorite.
@@mattivirta While steam gauges are great for learning the basics of flying, new pilots being trained for the airlines need glass cockpit experience as the majority of airliners nowadays have glass cockpits. This is why the manufactures have all moved to glass cockpits and automation in their new GA planes.
Flying has gotten so expensive now. I got my private license and about a hundred hours, then had a family and can no longer afford it. It went from renting a 172 for $40/hour wet 17 years ago, to now $120/hr wet. Let’s see, enjoy flying again, or feed the family and pay bills…..would love to fly again someday.
It was a pleasure talking with you guys and watching you take this apart. Can’t wait to see it restored.
Yes it was
Hey John !
Can’t wait to get back down that way one day soon 👍🏼
@@rebuildrescue same here.
@@EvansBrickhouse Makes me proud to be a Mississippian when I meet/see someone like yourself. Good day from Tupelo my friend!!!

@@rebuildrescue You're welcome, and I still don't know how we avoided any serious injuries, considering the circumstances, though I'm glad we all did.
If you get a plane that is too far gone, you should try and build a mobile flight simulator out of the shell. Maybe mount it to the back of a trailer so you can bring it around to schools or events and stuff.
That would actually be a more interesting project you could bring in electrical engineering types and software developers to work on it
Microsoft flight simulator and about four or five 4K monitors will make it feel pretty realistic. Getting the controls and the gauges to work might be a bit challenging, but it should be doable.
@@ryancappo Take out the instruments and mount a monitor behind the panel.
That would be cool.

This show helps me realize that just like there is no such thing as a free dog, there is no such thing as a free plane. Always has costs....
75k minimum to get that thing going again. Insane.. that's why aviation priced me out of the game.

Helps that they were following the AMM. In no AMM does it say to cut a hole in the wing to remove it.
"So I woke up in a hotel this morning"
You know, I got alot of stories that start like that ^.^

You need to get the guy in the red hat to take the wings off of the 401!
Yeah right he probably couldn't even take off the wrapper of a McDonald's sandwich
Talk to Josh at Aviation101 when it's time to do the panels on them birds! Daytona Aircraft Services did such a fantastic work on N80991 panel, I really like it! 😛👍
The hangar is getting smaller by the video it seems, and I love it! 😁 Can't wait to see these lovely aircraft getting back into the sky where they belong! 😛👍
get it all setup and bring it to Florida so some of us can learn to fly.... Like the different engine and bigger tires (not Bush Tires). Refresh the paint the way it looks maybe add more color to the wings.
Cool
I love the K35, hoping to find one in the next couple of years. Perfect balance of speed and useful load for my mission. Hope you can work your magic and the ruddervators aren't too far gone.
Thank you for the well wishes ! Your encouragement means a lot to me👍🏼
I use rada knifes they are the best
For the C172. I wouldn't go too far with the avionic. Say G5, modern radios, VOR/DME just enough for them to do a cross country. Because their next plane may be a cheap steam avionics system. So get them used to the standard instruments, so they have a good basic grounding.
I'm surprize there isn't a t-shirt with "We are here at the hangar..." LOL... Looking forward for the Rescue Airline, you guys starts to have enough planes for that ;) Love your videos :)
Lol, I love that idea ! Thank you for your support, glad you're enjoying the channel 👍🏼
Well done to all the crew....
Thank you Ian !
Nice trailer.
I used to have a good trailer for airplanes because I pulled aircoup from Tennessee to Florida and had to refit the trailer to work so we did it. Its fun moving them like that. The trailer is gone now but its not hard to fit it to work.
Great job Jason and crew!!! Man, you are building your self a small air force. LOL. I know each of those planes will be put to good use. Keep up the great job Jason!!!
Adam, we all appreciate your support more than you know ! Thank you for investing your time with us !
Those wings came off way easier than the 401 wings 😂 Excited to see what can be done with these two free planes!
172 is just neat
You and me both ! Thanks for watching Matthew👍🏼
It's always been my dream to learn to fly and do more than just get my license but it's always been just out of reach. Way to go wanting to help people in my situation with your new program!!!
Go get your license. Time is slipping away.
I would install an engine that would match what training Skyhawks have and not more. If the Wings attach without issues, I would then concentrate on a Modern Panel that Students would benefit from. As far as cleanup on the surfaces, I would not proceed on paint. Mechanically safe and flyable is all Students require.
If it’s donated to a School, they can can take care of appearance after.
That last part was a nail biter, I'd box & strap that wood beam around each wheel & then slide the plane up onto ramp.. Good job.
I flew a bonanza with my dad and family from Archerfield to Rockampton (Queensland, Australia) They have an interesting weight and balance issue when fully loaded as fuel drains that causes porpoising, fortunately my dad (PIC) was warned about this, so we were able to deal with it in flight simply by sliding the seats forward... As the back seat passenger during the check flights my job was to hand wind the gear back up after practicing landing gear failures. We returned to Archerfield with 1 less passenger and bags.
Congratulation for two new birds
Thank you ! Excited for what's coming !
SIGN ME UP!! Ready to fly boss!
What's a fusalidge?
Like you don't have enough projects already. Lol. Looks like your coffee sales are paying off.
Back in the 70's when I was taking flight training, they had an old Cessna 150. That 150 had a 150HP engine. They used that thing to tow banners, and flight instruction. It would clime like crazy. We nicknamed that thing "Shake and Bake". Honestly, I think your 172 looks better that it did!! LOL!!
Can’t believe so many planes out there just left to rot.
Get some steel plates and sq.tubing to fit the trailer (similar to what you would use to hold a camper down to the truck)..Plates to extend width of trailer for the landing gear..
Honestly if your goal is to help train new pilots, try to get Garmin on board with a G1000 panel. New pilots are moving to regionals with glass cockpits and pilots need that experience. As far as the pain, why not go with the original paint scheme. That will certainly pay tribute if that was the original owners favorite.
glass cocpit have big shit, old gauges have lot lot better than owerprize glass cocpit shit.
@@mattivirta While steam gauges are great for learning the basics of flying, new pilots being trained for the airlines need glass cockpit experience as the majority of airliners nowadays have glass cockpits. This is why the manufactures have all moved to glass cockpits and automation in their new GA planes.
Flying has gotten so expensive now. I got my private license and about a hundred hours, then had a family and can no longer afford it. It went from renting a 172 for $40/hour wet 17 years ago, to now $120/hr wet. Let’s see, enjoy flying again, or feed the family and pay bills…..would love to fly again someday.
Just buy a small wooden plane they are an ok price
Harbor freight sheet rock jack works real good to remove wings
This Skyhawk will be a great tool to be useful for future students
