Well you forgot the obvious. You’ve created a RUclips channel and this is a perfect project for this type of entertainment platform. Not only is it long form but it’s interactive so you can get feedback and modify your plans and direction as you go. On top of that having this series has allowed you to get sponsors, including those who donated equipment and services to the project, that helps to make this particular project very unique and not likely possible if done any other way. At a very minimum this is interactive entertainment for us viewers that allows us to support (some with money) and participate in. If you do charitable things with the aircraft after this phase is over that is a great thing and I’m looking forward to it but that’s all a bonus. In the end this is a journey that I’m on with everyone else. I’m enjoying the process and can’t wait to see the final outcome.
With the way the Country is today, some people think everything is a scam. I'm so glad you and your crew are not letting the haters get you down and continue on your mission. Thank you and everyone who has contributed to making this a reality, God Bless.
Sadly there are haters who will always hate. My personal opinion is that they feel it elevates them when they put someone else down. I get to live, vicariously, through your efforts on this project and I know that I am far from alone In this respect. Keep up the fantastic work and I can't wait to be with you on her maiden flight!! 😎👏
Im a veteran in Western Australia. I wished I was able to donate my time to help you. It is a very worthwhile project. Remember haters got to hate its who they are, just like lovers have to love, and we love you guys putting the effort in where others dont.
You're investing your time into the channel, and that's more than we could ask for! Without you following and commenting we wouldn't be here ! Your support keeps everyone here motivated, so thank you❤️
I've never seen anyone on RUclips break things down like this. You're a good man and thanks for posting all the videos of the restore. I'm an A&P and I love it! Thank you!
Even if you're a scammer, seeing the work on the 401. I am just beyond excited to watch - for free. Thank you for sharing your story with me / us. I appreciate every freakin minute
@@rebuildrescue I have never in my life ever seen a "scam" invest and spend so much money, time and have visible progress towards the end goal. Either you are the worst scammer out there or they are just jealous.
I’ll say it again. Y’all are ROCK STARS! I know you won’t let the Debbie downers get to you. Those of us who know, understand the effort being put into this project, the time donated by volunteers and the expertise to complete a project like this. We’re behind you 100%! Looking forward to your next video!
Don't let the trolls bring you down ... some people just refuse to believe no matter what. Keep up the excellent hard work you've been doing. No one can argue the hours of dedication you and your crew have been putting into this. So many people out there do good things for a good cause and we never get to see their hard work so i for one am so grateful that you're persevering in making these videos
And some people belive any old crap they are told you seem to be one of them .me personally I want to see this plane rebuild not all the other side projects that have been added over the past 12 months
@@supersprinter1564 while this is true you would want to see the same thing every week, it just doesn't happen because of things like waiting time for deliveries, the number of hours put in in 1 day burns you out for several days. it is not like sitting in an office doing paperwork it is actual physical labour, and wrist and bodies don't like the weird angles you have to put yourself into to do most of this work. so you need easier side jobs to fill the time.
Jason, I am not going to be able to renew my medical for my GA license due to failing eyesight. This project has inspired me to start my A&P so while i won’t be hand on the stick I can still help the folks at my local clubs keep their bird flying! Thanks!
As a plane geek who followed from early on (like the first or second video), I understand why some folks were a little concerned early on. In fact, I was one of those people who was concerned (tough I was polite enough to keep my opinions to myself). As others have already commented here, there had been some stuff early on that came off as a bit "clickbaity", and some of the initial communication about the charity and gofundme seemed a little vague to cynics like me. However, as time has gone on and you've both kept at the project and dialed in your communication, I can see you're the real deal. You just keep doing what you're doing, communicate honestly, and folks will either get it or move on.
YOU GUYS DON'T GET IT IT GETS 6 MILES PER GALLON AND YOU CAN'T LOAD ANYTHING IN IT BECAUSE OF THE DOOR THAT CAN'T BE REPLACED. VIEWERSHIP HAS DROPPED DRAMATICALLY AND THEY NEED MONEY. SO NOW IT'S A BIG COMMERCIAL. IT HAPPENS ON UTUBE ALL THE TIME WHEN A CHANNEL TAKES OFF.
I can't understand how people can consider this a scam. You and your group are entertaining us and it's free to watch. Whenever such projects are made, it is possible that it will not be completed for some reason. Or there will be changes to it due to things that cannot be known. Many thanks to the whole team for these videos, which are freely available for us to watch and we can support them if we want to.
Thank you all for doing this. I never heard of a 401 before that first video, which popped up on my YT home. Flying for me is something you do on a holiday. But this is fun to watch and inspiring. Happy to help with a small donation. And yes I hope the 401 will be in the Netherlands in the future and I can see it with my own eyes.
Thank you for your generosity and spreading positivity Chantal, it means more to us than you know ! We are so happy to have introduced you to this side of aviation, and we hope to continue to educate and inspire !
@@rebuildrescue would love to see a before weight of the plane and after weight with the paint job … how much weight does this paint job actually add !!!???!!!
@@common_c3nts It is called entertainment; do you think people would tune in if the content was boring? It is like the WWE (though I haven't watch since I was a kid); everyone knows it is 100% fake, but they tune in anyway because of the entertainment value.
Been watching this project since day one and as an aviation student in college, it really opened up my eyes to how much work goes into aircraft aside from flying them. I've learned more than I ever thought I would about how these planes work and it's fascinating. Love the work you guys are doing and can't wait to see it fly! (And hopefully I'll fly it myself one day😂)
It's sad that you have to explain yourself to so many people. That just blows me away. I'm just glad that you've started this project and gotten the help along the way that you have. I just wish I could be a part of having contributed to those donations and such. I am glad to know that my likes and my subscription does help in some way. VERY glad to see each and every video and being able to support the channel in my own little way. Keep up the amazing work and the amazing videos.
Never doubted this venture was ever a scam. If you want to talk scams, start up a NFT, tell people to hatch eggs and cross breed them, but before that ever happened people have disappeared with others investors money, now that's a scam. Showing up, working hard on what is evidently a aircraft from its beginnings to where it is now, aint no scam. Keep it up Jason and team. sure we cant all wait for that day that 401 takes off for the first time in years!!
@@c.a.nixiii4650 The use of "no doubt or never doubted" implies the the opposite of doubt. The word ‘doubt’ contains a negative meaning of uncertainty, or lack of certainty. Pleasure to give you a lesson in the proper use of the proper use of grammar
with every hater you've got hundreds if not thousands of people supporting you and your movement. some people just cant be happy and they share that unhappiness with the unsuspecting and undeserving. its been fun watching this project from the beginning. Rooting for you guys and looking forward to whats to come!
I enjoy every video on this project, it's exciting to watch. Block out the haters, there are just people who love to see people fail and provide negativity. Keep blocking out the haters. Keep up the good work Jason and your team at Rebuild Rescue!
What happened to TJ and Simon? (The guys who arrived in formation in their restored warbird and military trainer aircraft) They sniffed around the 401 and gave big nods of approval. It seemed like they were going to be heavily involved/supportive, but yet we never saw them again.
Haters just means you have a fan club. I have a old saying love me or hate me either way I win. if you love me I'm in your heart. If you hate me I'm in your head...... So don't stop doing what you and many of us consider is a labor of love..... Keep being awesome....
The fact that you would just take the time to explain all of that shows the genuineness of your heart. Go for it. Get this thing done and get it in the air!
There are people who perpetually see the world through dark and cynical lenses. They're so full of pain and hurt that they literally can't understand anyone else who sees the opposite in life: hope, joy, caring, giving and love. Keep on keeping on Jason.
Another great thing about the series on the 401 restorations is that if someone needed to do this type of project, it will provide what the price would be for different items like shipping a plane from another country or a whole new paint job and what that entails.
i am currently an amt student set to graduate this october and watching these videos has really helped me understand alot of the stuff we talk about in school so honestly this project is important
My first thought on this project was: "this just seems like a well-thought promotion trick." - if that was for the channel itself or someone else, I don't really know what I was thinking. No matter what, I enjoy the series. Also, if you want some output from some stranger - The fact you say that you're using thousands of your own dollars into this, or any project, kind of makes it sound like you just throw money at something just for the hell of it. That can't be true seeing all the money you guys get. If that is through donations, sponsors giving you tools, or basically whatever it is. It doesn't matter really. What I mean is that I highly doubt that you take your own money and blindly throw thousands of dollars at a project without knowing at all that the money will return. Maybe it's how you word the stuff and perhaps should change it to "invest" instead. I don't really know. But I know that you most likely aren't just blindly pumping money into a project.
Why would this be a scam? I'm looking at a real airplane aren't I? It's not made of styrofoam. Hate it when people try to get inside your head. To them the whole world is a scam. Keep up the great work!❤
I hope the people who think this project is a scam are a small minority..... if so don’t waste your valuable time worrying about them. you have to much to deal with within the big picture! You guys are doing the right thing..... keep going and heaps of respect..... Richard from the UK.
Jealousy, anger, paranoia... there are so many reasons that people lose who they are and refuse to find joy in life. Those of us who have watched from the beginning totally get it. Keep up the great work! You and your team are an inspiration for aviators, influencers, and makers all over the world! Your show among others influenced me to go to flight school and I am loving it! Will be buying a plane with my flight club soon.
RIGHT ON AN AIRPLANE THAT GETS 5 MILES PER GALLON. ON A MODEL THAT NOBODY WANTS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL CONSUMPTION AND THE DOOR YOU CAN'T REPLACE. YOU CAN'T LOAD ANYTHING IN IT IT'S A PIG MONEYMAKER FOR THE CHANNEL THAT IS LOOSING VIEWERS. AND NOW WE HAVE A SALESMAN AND COMMERCIALS
As I commented on the last video - I think a lot of the 'hook' for these idiots to start claiming 'scam' is some of the editing decisions that were made in the early episodes (specifically, the fire cliffhanger and also the episode(s) where Sam was considering selling to another buyer) that were a little ... click-baity. More videos like this will help, especially in this style. Open, honest and real - not dramatised beyond belief. Keep it up!
Agreed. Doing that type of clickbait style advertising just makes some people not trust you. It might be good for the clicks but if you want to build a lasting audience, you need to build a relationship with them and trust is big part of that. Be authentic, natural, and unscripted with the audience. Stop trying to be a You Tuber and focus on being YOU. focus on what you've told us is your passion and build on that. Be vulnerable as well. Allow the audience to know when your happy and sad and angry and why. Build that connection. Good luck!
I agreed. And started to wonder my self after a while. The big thing for me was refusing to list the paperwork for the origination he keep metching about setting up, but never really delivered with followup paperwork.
@@Miranoff Your statement is true, I started watching as this didn't seem like the typical RUclipsr (which is great), and looked like someone GENUINELY trying to just score a free plane by fixing it, then getting go fund me money, cool..... but then all of a sudden, other projects appear and planes are being purchased, made me think.... right where is the go find me money going?? But the truth is I have no idea how much money Jason's other business or other interests which he's under no obligation to explain on a public forum etc make., which could easily pay for them. At the end of the day, as long as the 401 fly's and ends up being exactly what has been stated by Jason, then he's total vindicated as will have the respect of many.
I grew with a father who was a Freemason and a Shriner and donated his time to both organisations and childrens hospitals. My hobby is amateur astronomy and I volunteer showing middle school children the stars and public star parties twice a month. Volunteering is important and no matter where the impetus comes from it is always appreciated. People who try to drag down those who do it are nothing more than jealous of your joy in your work. They are unhappy in their lives and want to drag you down to their level. It is tough not to give them credence but necessary for your continued happiness. Keep up the good work it is appreciated.
You dont have to explain yourself these are wonderful acts of kindness i wish there were more ppl in the world like you god bless you and what you do for the community
One thing that has impressed me, watching this journey, is what a great network you are creating! So many people contributing, so many people donating time, so many hands-on people learning new things about this plane and about restoring venerable old planes in general, and so many people your foundation is going to help down the road. The value of this project is that you are adding to the sum total of good will, cooperation, light and know-how in a world that, left to its own devices right now, would gladly run roughshod over all those values. And the trolls don't care whether you are genuine or not, because trolls never do. All they care about is getting that cheap shot and watching people run around with their hair on fire. Carry on with the 401 and enjoy the journey! If I had my life to live over I'd acquire the skills you are using every day to restore that beautiful plane and I'd have that satisfaction too.
Wow. Ran into this scam all over by accident. I can’t believe he’s playing the violin for an audience who are a bunch of suckers! I’m likely the one he claims said he could buy a new one. I’m over it. People are the biggest morons and they are ok w it. It’s crazy. He could have sold it for parts!
I've been a subscriber for about a year in the project already and had no idea it was going to take this long and honestly it was well worth it and cannot wait until this thing becomes a certified flying machine!
No matter what you say, haters will always be haters. There are miserable people who want to see others fail to comfort their misery. I wouldn't spend a second wasting your time on these people and explaining yourself. All of us sponsors believe in you and the project. Good job and God bless!
This project is enormous. I’ve put a new engine in a car with no experience whatsoever, and it was in the days before RUclips, l just had the manuel to help me. I could not afford to have it done at the garage. It was an immense project for me but the 401’s complexity is mind blowing. The wiring and avionics scare me to death. I just love this experience. I love it for a personal reason which maybe l will relate at the end of the project.
I can relate to growing up poor and and making something of myself in spite of the hardships. Growing up we were always one paycheck away from living in a refrigerator box under a bridge.
I have enjoyed watching the series and am even more excited to see the finished product! I've always wanted to get my license, but unfortunately, I am unable to do that, so I am living vicariously through your videos! Thanks again for all your hard work and what you're doing for the community!
Jason we who stand behind you do so because we see your vision. We watch and see everything you accomplish. There will forever be those that love nothing better than tearing whatever they come across apart. Don’t worry about them. Stay the course. Those who are with you will not sway.
Jason - I have come to know about this project very late. But because I developed a foot issue, golf and my flying has had to take a back seat. So I've been binge watching the last 5 or 6 or more days (lost track) and it looks like I am almost caught up. I was a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force (ours) 1968 - 1972. I got my private certificate 1976. and then a degree in mechanical engineering 1978. I offer those tidbits of information to certify that my interest in this project is off the charts. I stopped flying about 5 years after I got my license much to my regret. I am back now flying a Cirrus and thinking about getting my instruments. Anyway, I am blown away seeing the amount work, detail and commitment you and your team have given to this effort. You and your guys represent the qualities and work ethic that made this country great. It warms my heart to see there a still folks like you around! As for the naysayers - let them take a long walk off a short pier.
I'd like to thank you for being a good steward in handling the process and headaches that come with this project. It's harder doing the right thing. Going through this with little or no resistance would make it questionable. We all know when you did the right thing there will be those who will try and knock you off the trail your blazing. Just keep up the good work. You have plenty of us who see your vision and will continue to be there until your goal is reached and the build is completed and the dream of helping others continues.
Whatever you say, whatever you do, they're will obviously be haters out there who just want to ruined when people are trying to do good stuff around them. The only thing i would say, continue with your project, leave those negative behaviours behind you and continue to do good in your life and feel all the love coming from real people who believes in your project ! Have a good one from Montreal, Canada. 👍👍👍
Some people are going to hate - thats just life. I am one of the many who have donated mainly for 3 reasons. 1. You are absolutely bonkers - lol. - This is a stupidly crazy project that is going to make you lose all your hair.. 2. You have the energy to finish it. 3. Sometimes, the 'hard' projects just have to be done. I've been with you since almost the beginning & still enjoy watching - Keep it up amigo.
Been keeping track of this since the first video, and I'm amazed with the places this has gone! A couple hundred thousand later and here we are. I'll be here thru to the end!
I've been an aviation nut since my first airshow at NAS Jacksonville in 1985. I even took A&P classes at George T. Baker Aviation School in Miami. I dropped those classes after 9/11 to join the Army, but I never lost my love for airplanes. Even though now, flying scares me, I still love planes. Keep this plane project on track.
Jason I once said to you that why don’t you finish one project before you start another. Well sir I truly believe in what your doing. Good on you and your crew.🇨🇦. If your ever in Winnipeg look me up would like to meet you and shake your hand.
Keep doing what you are doing. I've thought for years about getting my private pilot's license but I don't have a reason to justify the cost of owning a plane or even renting one. I just live vicariously through videos like these and flight simulators lol.
I never thought this was a scam. I am looking forward to the day when the 401 flys again. I have watched this series since the first video, and it is amazing to see how far it has come. Knowing what you are planning on doing once, the 401 is in the air is amazing. Keep up the great work, and do not worry about the ones that have doubts about you and the 401. Good luck.
"The Number One...Four O' One!" Too much blood, sweat, and tears, invested for this to be a scam. I'm looking forward to seeing your baby fly! Looking forward to all the future episodes especially the rewiring. Good luck and continued success!
Jason, I stumbled on your channel just as you got hold of the 401, I knew absolutely nothing about aviation or Rebuild Rescue, I am now a fan and way more educated than I was before, I am an avid follower, if for no other reason than entertainment , not to mention everything else that I have learnt along the way. I live in a country (South Africa) where corruption and scams are a massive scourge, and as a result we have all developed finely tuned "scam sensors", and my sensors have-not once been triggered. Keep doing the amazing work you do, I applaud and salute you and wish we had more individuals in this world like you.
Great video, and a true professional way to keep some of the brand new viewers in tune. For those of us that have been here for a while we haven’t doubted you for one second keep up the great work!
There's another side benefit of doing it this way, as opposed to buying it. It's showing and inspiring people to take on their projects. I, like a lot of people, have projects I've thought about doing for so long, but they keep getting pushed back. One of them had been on the back burner for years and after watching this channel, I started working on it again. It doesn't matter what it is, can be an airplane, a car, a woodworking project, a garden. It doesn't really matter. Seeing you guys do what you do is inspiring and makes me want to get out there, get my hands greasy and get something that I LOVE done. You don't get that benefit out of just buying a plane and flying it.
I was a skeptic at 1st and still am. Going to need to see more proof in the pudding regarding the charity, but I love how much Happier Sam is and how you're helping Joe out. Even if it was a scam, you can't deny how Happier Sam and Joe are. And if you're helping people, you're worth following. More than I can say for some other RUclips channels where the money goes to bigger and better things and not actual people.
I know literally zero about planes or aviation. But the YT algorithm decided I needed to watch and I've gone back and watched every video on the plane and it's been a nice learning piece. From what I can tell every form of job or project will always have some a-holes that want to take a piece for themselves or just random Karen's complaining to management because they feel like they have to be the boss and shut down the fun because they can't have fun themselves. The way you're just casually proving them wrong is great, I love it. I can't wait to see the end results!
Tell them mind their own business, They are just jealous. You and the team keep doing your best. You help our military people and that make y’all great people. God bless you y’all
Jason, you are legitimate and an inspiration. Those a**holes are just f***ing trolls who are getting into your head. Don't let them man, you got this! We are here with you throughout your journey.
You inspire me in more ways then just the 401. Your mission and your passion inspire a lot of people and can be explained in how your channel has been so successful. Every channel is gonna have people that criticize. Just continue making amazing content because you love what you do, not for anyone else. You don’t need to explain anything to anyone, you have enough to worry about. We love you the way you are and those people will continue to always watch.
The experiences gleaned from the process for everyone involved, including us (supporters, watchers, Veterans and do-gooders) is invaluable. These lessons can be applied to future projects, and I'm sure those of us watching who want to take on non-profit endeavors have learned something as well. Thank you to everyone involved for keeping this project going! As a Veteran myself, coming from a long lineage of Veterans from every branch with all sorts of trauma (psychological and physiological) I know there are people out there who need your help.
Man you can only control the things within your purview. There will always be those whose live to critique and complain. It’s called jealousy. Keep on trucking brother. I look forward to every episode.
All these people who think this project is a scam, keep coming back and commenting on the videos. So they are still subscribed. If they are not subscribed, then they are spending time to search up your videos and comment on them. Really shows how much free time they have and how they keep wanting to spread negativity.
Jason, you are an absolutely amazing person with an amazing, giving heart. Keep up the good work man and don't listen to the "junk". We all are supporting and cheering for the success of the 401 and all your other amazing projects and endeavors.
Jason, what you are doing is selfless and nothing short of amazing!!! People reporting you to FAA and calling this a scam… wow!!! Remember the wheel of karma turns… it will come back to them. Thank you for not loosing heart and continuing the great work. I wish I was in a position to contribute even more. Perhaps in time the universe will smile on me. You have my deepest respect!!
In my eyes, the whole point was to rebuild the aircraft. The fact that it was such a wild idea and that it generated this series, which is perfect for long-form ad RUclips in 2023, is great! The fact that it generates revenue and gets donations, is also great! They are not mutually exclusive. All it means to me is that the plane gets the best attention, the best parts, the best technicians, and that it will fly again. Everything else is supplementary. Kudos, Jason and the Rebuild Rescue team!
I'm far from being "A hater" I used to love watching the channel when you first got the 401. But soon after came free yatchs, free other planes etc in the end, for me anyway, it just felt like I was watching a rich man show us his play things. As such I lost interest. I don't think it's all a scam. I really do wish you well. But for me it all got diluted to much and I lost interest.
I’ve only just found this channel and binging this rebuild on my day off work Can’t wait to see the finished plane. If he finishes it or has finished it then fair play to him . I am a car enthusiast all my life and watch people like Matt Armstrong who has multiple flash projects on the go at once So it’s nothing different
Perfect series thus far! Real quick- the "negative nancies" will always be there. They are miserable people within themselves and they need to bring everyone around them down. Don't bite their bullcrap. Stay true to the project! I am so looking forward to seeing the project progress and the final result. Besides, so looking forward to wheels off the deck. All this coming from a 55 year old still in aviation, although military and working for a Training Squadron in Pensacola, FL. Also 12 1/2years in military aviation as a jet engines mechanic. Thank you so much Rebuild Rescue!!! Well done
This project has become a part of me that I literally had to watch it first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. The reason is because I learned a lot and explored a lot of skills as a bachelors degree student in mechanical engineering.
Man this channel started off on fire it’s about 1% what it use to be. Is it fame? Complacency? Laziness? Idk just rewatch the first 10 videos compared to the last 10
We all love Jason and the crew, even the haters who come and watch every video just to comment are helping with the project watching ads and leaving interactions so youtube shares the content with more people
Jason: I recently discovered Rebuild Rescue and working hard to get through the backlog of videos. Enjoying every minute so far! Enjoy getting to know you, Sam, and the entire Team. It is a shame that there are trolls and doubters out there, but it is so impressive for you to take the time to address them the way did and by being so vulnerable by sharing your personal story. I will bet that the respect this community has for you and your team has continued to grow as a result. I just realized you are in Lancaster County! I met my wife when we were a few years younger! Thank you for all you do. It has been a great ride so far, and I cannot wait to see new videos drop!
Hey Jason, followed you from the beginning, it is obvious you are coming from a good place, keep up the great work mate, and looking forward too seeing you help deserving people out.
My friend don't waste your time with that kind of people. Theres always be that kind of person who hates what others people do. So keep going my friend,looking forward never back.
To be honest I also thought a bit controversal about this project. But not in a hating way or also not in the way that I think you just wanna make donation scam. It was more like the question if it's really you who is making all the stuff happen with the plane and if it was realistic to start a project with such a wrecked plane. You had some attempts to repair stuff which resulted in "okay we have to rebuild/exchange the whole thing" but in the end it is reasonable for me because nobody knows what a 17 year old plane wreck ist going to look like under its covers. In the end you are the man who is selecting what he is recording and what is coming into the videos. Thats important. But in general its not wrong to question things critically. Its the opposite way in my opinion, because its good to question things critically. Of course not in a hating or accusing way but in a communicational way and it is great that you clear up things with this video. Keep on going man, I am totally excited about news.
I really appreciate this video! It’s great to see your transparency and putting to rest the nay sayers. I donated to this project because I believe in your vision and I am partial to the 401 since I worked on one in A&P school. Thank you for sharing and bringing us along. 🙏🏻
You've got a worldwide audience [I'm in New Zealand]. This plane brings back a lot of good memories for me. We had a C402B as our Jumpship and we enjoyed many hours flying about and jumping from it. It finally ran out of airframe & everything hours and was retired. It's probably parted out now and a shell in a shed. [I wouldn't recommend any of the parts, we did run it as far as it could possibly go on extensions but how far can you take it until it breaks completely]. Loving this story and the videos. I randomly stumbled across video one and have enjoyed the ride ever since. Thank you and good luck [not that you'll need it]

I got the other part covered-the less eloquent angry officer chastising his new morons. see my comment.😁
👍🇺🇸😎
Well said. By a gentleman & a scholar.
Well said 👍
With the way the Country is today, some people think everything is a scam. I'm so glad you and your crew are not letting the haters get you down and continue on your mission. Thank you and everyone who has contributed to making this a reality, God Bless.
Thank you Robert for your kind words, glad to have you here on the channel !
I agree 100% and could not have said it any better! Rock on Jason and Team!!!!
If RR is a scam then so are Tally-Ho, Ship Happens and Brupeg. I mean, people rebuilding expensive stuff that was left to rot. Scammers all of them.
Sadly there are haters who will always hate. My personal opinion is that they feel it elevates them when they put someone else down. I get to live, vicariously, through your efforts on this project and I know that I am far from alone In this respect. Keep up the fantastic work and I can't wait to be with you on her maiden flight!! 😎👏
Im a veteran in Western Australia. I wished I was able to donate my time to help you. It is a very worthwhile project. Remember haters got to hate its who they are, just like lovers have to love, and we love you guys putting the effort in where others dont.
You're investing your time into the channel, and that's more than we could ask for! Without you following and commenting we wouldn't be here ! Your support keeps everyone here motivated, so thank you❤️
Fk wa mutt, bet U live in Baldivis hahahaha
Exactly I'm also in wa
And Another.
@@rebuildrescue , you may want to check the group resounding with your logo, seems there may be some real scammers trying to profit from you here...
I've never seen anyone on RUclips break things down like this. You're a good man and thanks for posting all the videos of the restore. I'm an A&P and I love it! Thank you!
Even if you're a scammer, seeing the work on the 401. I am just beyond excited to watch - for free. Thank you for sharing your story with me / us. I appreciate every freakin minute
Thanks for watching and supporting, we are so glad you're following along in this journey ! And definitely not a scammer 😂
@@rebuildrescue I have never in my life ever seen a "scam" invest and spend so much money, time and have visible progress towards the end goal. Either you are the worst scammer out there or they are just jealous.
Totally agree!
@@SilvaDreams exactly! This is one of the best points.
@@SilvaDreams Worst scammer ever. 😆
I’ll say it again. Y’all are ROCK STARS! I know you won’t let the Debbie downers get to you. Those of us who know, understand the effort being put into this project, the time donated by volunteers and the expertise to complete a project like this. We’re behind you 100%! Looking forward to your next video!
Your kind words are extremely motivating, thank you so much
@@rebuildrescue you need to ignore the sad sacks !
Don't let the trolls bring you down ... some people just refuse to believe no matter what. Keep up the excellent hard work you've been doing. No one can argue the hours of dedication you and your crew have been putting into this. So many people out there do good things for a good cause and we never get to see their hard work so i for one am so grateful that you're persevering in making these videos
Thank you so much for spreading positivity Kev, I really appreciate it
And some people belive any old crap they are told you seem to be one of them .me personally I want to see this plane rebuild not all the other side projects that have been added over the past 12 months
5 MILES PER GALLON AND YOU CAN'T LOAD ANYTHING IN IT BECAUSE OF THE NON REPLACEABLE DOOR ON THIS OLD MODEL THAT NOBODY WANTS YOU FIGURE IT OUT !!
@@supersprinter1564 while this is true you would want to see the same thing every week, it just doesn't happen because of things like waiting time for deliveries, the number of hours put in in 1 day burns you out for several days. it is not like sitting in an office doing paperwork it is actual physical labour, and wrist and bodies don't like the weird angles you have to put yourself into to do most of this work. so you need easier side jobs to fill the time.
Ppl are impatient these days, it's not like a car were it's going to be done and dusted in a couple of vids
Jason, I am not going to be able to renew my medical for my GA license due to failing eyesight. This project has inspired me to start my A&P so while i won’t be hand on the stick I can still help the folks at my local clubs keep their bird flying! Thanks!
If you’ve held an aviation medical in the past you can apply for basic med which allows you to fly without a medical certificate
Been here from the start can’t wait to see her fly.
Thank you for being a day one supporter and believing in us since the beginning!
As a plane geek who followed from early on (like the first or second video), I understand why some folks were a little concerned early on. In fact, I was one of those people who was concerned (tough I was polite enough to keep my opinions to myself). As others have already commented here, there had been some stuff early on that came off as a bit "clickbaity", and some of the initial communication about the charity and gofundme seemed a little vague to cynics like me. However, as time has gone on and you've both kept at the project and dialed in your communication, I can see you're the real deal. You just keep doing what you're doing, communicate honestly, and folks will either get it or move on.
Haters gonna hate! Ive really enjoyed this series so much and happy to keep supporting you all.
So glad to have you here with us David !
Couldn't have said that any better myself, f @>k the haters!
YOU GUYS DON'T GET IT IT GETS 6 MILES PER GALLON AND YOU CAN'T LOAD ANYTHING IN IT BECAUSE OF THE DOOR THAT CAN'T BE REPLACED. VIEWERSHIP HAS DROPPED DRAMATICALLY AND THEY NEED MONEY. SO NOW IT'S A BIG COMMERCIAL. IT HAPPENS ON UTUBE ALL THE TIME WHEN A CHANNEL TAKES OFF.
@jimbennett2795 do you normally throw in the towel without lifting a finger to do anything or is this just your keyboard warrior personality?
@@jimbennett2795 bro you need to calm down. Yelling on the internet ain’t good for your health. Let’s throttle back some champ.
Breathing life back into this 401 is amazing its come so far from where it was just rotting away you're awesome
Dude, dont let those people bring you down! You're doing fantastic work, and its been a joy seeing what you have done to the 401!!
Thank you !
I can't understand how people can consider this a scam. You and your group are entertaining us and it's free to watch. Whenever such projects are made, it is possible that it will not be completed for some reason. Or there will be changes to it due to things that cannot be known. Many thanks to the whole team for these videos, which are freely available for us to watch and we can support them if we want to.
Thank you all for doing this. I never heard of a 401 before that first video, which popped up on my YT home. Flying for me is something you do on a holiday. But this is fun to watch and inspiring. Happy to help with a small donation. And yes I hope the 401 will be in the Netherlands in the future and I can see it with my own eyes.
Thank you for your generosity and spreading positivity Chantal, it means more to us than you know ! We are so happy to have introduced you to this side of aviation, and we hope to continue to educate and inspire !
@@rebuildrescue would love to see a before weight of the plane and after weight with the paint job … how much weight does this paint job actually add !!!???!!!
It is not a scam, but some of the drama is fake like the fake airport plane drama in Florida.
@@common_c3nts It is called entertainment; do you think people would tune in if the content was boring? It is like the WWE (though I haven't watch since I was a kid); everyone knows it is 100% fake, but they tune in anyway because of the entertainment value.
@@rebuildrescue The only scammers around here are the ones in the comments section!
Been watching this project since day one and as an aviation student in college, it really opened up my eyes to how much work goes into aircraft aside from flying them. I've learned more than I ever thought I would about how these planes work and it's fascinating. Love the work you guys are doing and can't wait to see it fly! (And hopefully I'll fly it myself one day😂)
Those people arent worth the time of day! ignore them Jason keep up the amazing work
Thank you for your dedication and support Scott!
IT GETS 5 TO 6 MILES PER GALLON YOU CAN'T LOAD ANYTHING IN IT BECAUSE OF THE DOOR ON THIS MODEL . YOU FIGURE IT OUT.
It's sad that you have to explain yourself to so many people. That just blows me away.
I'm just glad that you've started this project and gotten the help along the way that you have. I just wish I could be a part of having contributed to those donations and such.
I am glad to know that my likes and my subscription does help in some way. VERY glad to see each and every video and being able to support the channel in my own little way. Keep up the amazing work and the amazing videos.
Never doubted this venture was ever a scam. If you want to talk scams, start up a NFT, tell people to hatch eggs and cross breed them, but before that ever happened people have disappeared with others investors money, now that's a scam. Showing up, working hard on what is evidently a aircraft from its beginnings to where it is now, aint no scam. Keep it up Jason and team. sure we cant all wait for that day that 401 takes off for the first time in years!!
I see what you did there. #MakePaulResponsible
@@c.a.nixiii4650 The use of "no doubt or never doubted" implies the the opposite of doubt. The word ‘doubt’ contains a negative meaning of uncertainty, or lack of certainty. Pleasure to give you a lesson in the proper use of the proper use of grammar
with every hater you've got hundreds if not thousands of people supporting you and your movement. some people just cant be happy and they share that unhappiness with the unsuspecting and undeserving. its been fun watching this project from the beginning. Rooting for you guys and looking forward to whats to come!
I enjoy every video on this project, it's exciting to watch. Block out the haters, there are just people who love to see people fail and provide negativity. Keep blocking out the haters. Keep up the good work Jason and your team at Rebuild Rescue!
Thank you Marty, we wouldn't be here without viewers like you !
What happened to TJ and Simon? (The guys who arrived in formation in their restored warbird and military trainer aircraft) They sniffed around the 401 and gave big nods of approval. It seemed like they were going to be heavily involved/supportive, but yet we never saw them again.
Haters just means you have a fan club. I have a old saying love me or hate me either way I win. if you love me I'm in your heart. If you hate me I'm in your head...... So don't stop doing what you and many of us consider is a labor of love..... Keep being awesome....
The fact that you would just take the time to explain all of that shows the genuineness of your heart. Go for it. Get this thing done and get it in the air!
Proud to have donated to this, ignore the haters, sadly there is % of people who just want to bring down others..
Thank you for commenting and supporting Brother
There are people who perpetually see the world through dark and cynical lenses. They're so full of pain and hurt that they literally can't understand anyone else who sees the opposite in life: hope, joy, caring, giving and love. Keep on keeping on Jason.
I love what your doing Jason I know it’s not a scam you have a good heart to help people keep going mate
Thank you Brother
The 401 is a project for RUclips content. There is nothing wrong with that. Entertainment and education for those who want to watch.
J never let them trolls live rent free in your head...people like me will watch this project to first flight...thank you brother One Love....Peace
Another great thing about the series on the 401 restorations is that if someone needed to do this type of project, it will provide what the price would be for different items like shipping a plane from another country or a whole new paint job and what that entails.
Don't give them airtime! Looking forward to seeing the finished 401!
i am currently an amt student set to graduate this october and watching these videos has really helped me understand alot of the stuff we talk about in school so honestly this project is important
So glad you're enjoying the series Steven, thank you for watching ! Have a great graduation !
Man this journey has been incredibly fun to watch. I look forward to each and every progress video. Thank you for the great entertainment and work!
Hi Kyle, we are so happy you're enjoying the channel, we wouldn't be able to do any of it without you !
My first thought on this project was: "this just seems like a well-thought promotion trick." - if that was for the channel itself or someone else, I don't really know what I was thinking. No matter what, I enjoy the series.
Also, if you want some output from some stranger - The fact you say that you're using thousands of your own dollars into this, or any project, kind of makes it sound like you just throw money at something just for the hell of it. That can't be true seeing all the money you guys get. If that is through donations, sponsors giving you tools, or basically whatever it is. It doesn't matter really. What I mean is that I highly doubt that you take your own money and blindly throw thousands of dollars at a project without knowing at all that the money will return. Maybe it's how you word the stuff and perhaps should change it to "invest" instead. I don't really know. But I know that you most likely aren't just blindly pumping money into a project.
Why would this be a scam? I'm looking at a real airplane aren't I? It's not made of styrofoam. Hate it when people try to get inside your head. To them the whole world is a scam. Keep up the great work!❤
Exactly; and if it were a scam, he wouldn’t have invited Larry Kosilla of AMMONYC to clean and detail the original interior of the 401.
I hope the people who think this project is a scam are a small minority..... if so don’t waste your valuable time worrying about them. you have to much to deal with within the big picture! You guys are doing the right thing..... keep going and heaps of respect..... Richard from the UK.
Thank you for the encouragement Richard, I am so happy you are apart of our Rescue Family !
Jealousy, anger, paranoia... there are so many reasons that people lose who they are and refuse to find joy in life. Those of us who have watched from the beginning totally get it. Keep up the great work! You and your team are an inspiration for aviators, influencers, and makers all over the world! Your show among others influenced me to go to flight school and I am loving it! Will be buying a plane with my flight club soon.
That's amazing Stuart! So glad you've found a new passion, please keep us all updated! Glad to have you apart of this family ❤️
RIGHT ON AN AIRPLANE THAT GETS 5 MILES PER GALLON. ON A MODEL THAT NOBODY WANTS BECAUSE OF THE FUEL CONSUMPTION AND THE DOOR YOU CAN'T REPLACE. YOU CAN'T LOAD ANYTHING IN IT IT'S A PIG MONEYMAKER FOR THE CHANNEL THAT IS LOOSING VIEWERS. AND NOW WE HAVE A SALESMAN AND COMMERCIALS
I don't own a plane, you hooked me in right off the bat and I'm now addicted to your channel. I can't wait to see the 401 fly.
As I commented on the last video - I think a lot of the 'hook' for these idiots to start claiming 'scam' is some of the editing decisions that were made in the early episodes (specifically, the fire cliffhanger and also the episode(s) where Sam was considering selling to another buyer) that were a little ... click-baity.
More videos like this will help, especially in this style. Open, honest and real - not dramatised beyond belief.
Keep it up!
Agreed. Doing that type of clickbait style advertising just makes some people not trust you. It might be good for the clicks but if you want to build a lasting audience, you need to build a relationship with them and trust is big part of that. Be authentic, natural, and unscripted with the audience. Stop trying to be a You Tuber and focus on being YOU. focus on what you've told us is your passion and build on that. Be vulnerable as well. Allow the audience to know when your happy and sad and angry and why. Build that connection. Good luck!
I agreed. And started to wonder my self after a while. The big thing for me was refusing to list the paperwork for the origination he keep metching about setting up, but never really delivered with followup paperwork.
@@Miranoff Your statement is true, I started watching as this didn't seem like the typical RUclipsr (which is great), and looked like someone GENUINELY trying to just score a free plane by fixing it, then getting go fund me money, cool..... but then all of a sudden, other projects appear and planes are being purchased, made me think.... right where is the go find me money going??
But the truth is I have no idea how much money Jason's other business or other interests which he's under no obligation to explain on a public forum etc make., which could easily pay for them.
At the end of the day, as long as the 401 fly's and ends up being exactly what has been stated by Jason, then he's total vindicated as will have the respect of many.
I grew with a father who was a Freemason and a Shriner and donated his time to both organisations and childrens hospitals. My hobby is amateur astronomy and I volunteer showing middle school children the stars and public star parties twice a month. Volunteering is important and no matter where the impetus comes from it is always appreciated. People who try to drag down those who do it are nothing more than jealous of your joy in your work. They are unhappy in their lives and want to drag you down to their level. It is tough not to give them credence but necessary for your continued happiness. Keep up the good work it is appreciated.
You dont have to explain yourself these are wonderful acts of kindness i wish there were more ppl in the world like you god bless you and what you do for the community
One thing that has impressed me, watching this journey, is what a great network you are creating! So many people contributing, so many people donating time, so many hands-on people learning new things about this plane and about restoring venerable old planes in general, and so many people your foundation is going to help down the road. The value of this project is that you are adding to the sum total of good will, cooperation, light and know-how in a world that, left to its own devices right now, would gladly run roughshod over all those values. And the trolls don't care whether you are genuine or not, because trolls never do. All they care about is getting that cheap shot and watching people run around with their hair on fire. Carry on with the 401 and enjoy the journey! If I had my life to live over I'd acquire the skills you are using every day to restore that beautiful plane and I'd have that satisfaction too.
Type of content where i turn off adblock, love this series even when i am not into planes at all.Thank you for sharing this awesome journey with us.
Thank you for stopping by and investing your time in us and in the channel! Glad to have you apart of the Rescue Crew
Wow. Ran into this scam all over by accident. I can’t believe he’s playing the violin for an audience who are a bunch of suckers! I’m likely the one he claims said he could buy a new one. I’m over it. People are the biggest morons and they are ok w it. It’s crazy. He could have sold it for parts!
I've been a subscriber for about a year in the project already and had no idea it was going to take this long and honestly it was well worth it and cannot wait until this thing becomes a certified flying machine!
Wow, thank you for following along this journey !
No matter what you say, haters will always be haters. There are miserable people who want to see others fail to comfort their misery. I wouldn't spend a second wasting your time on these people and explaining yourself. All of us sponsors believe in you and the project. Good job and God bless!
Keep the faith, Keep moving forward. Transparency like this is wonderful.
Thank you for stopping by and investing your time to be apart of this journey !
This project is enormous. I’ve put a new engine in a car with no experience whatsoever, and it was in the days before RUclips, l just had the manuel to help me. I could not afford to have it done at the garage. It was an immense project for me but the 401’s complexity is mind blowing. The wiring and avionics scare me to death. I just love this experience. I love it for a personal reason which maybe l will relate at the end of the project.
Great video explaining your financial side. Imagine the feeling when you start to assemble.
I started watching because I noticed a guy for some reason I trusted without even meeting. You are someone special !!!
Thank you George❤️
I can relate to growing up poor and and making something of myself in spite of the hardships. Growing up we were always one paycheck away from living in a refrigerator box under a bridge.
I have enjoyed watching the series and am even more excited to see the finished product! I've always wanted to get my license, but unfortunately, I am unable to do that, so I am living vicariously through your videos! Thanks again for all your hard work and what you're doing for the community!
Jason we who stand behind you do so because we see your vision. We watch and see everything you accomplish. There will forever be those that love nothing better than tearing whatever they come across apart. Don’t worry about them. Stay the course. Those who are with you will not sway.
Jason - I have come to know about this project very late. But because I developed a foot issue, golf and my flying has had to take a back seat. So I've been binge watching the last 5 or 6 or more days (lost track) and it looks like I am almost caught up. I was a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force (ours) 1968 - 1972. I got my private certificate 1976. and then a degree in mechanical engineering 1978. I offer those tidbits of information to certify that my interest in this project is off the charts. I stopped flying about 5 years after I got my license much to my regret. I am back now flying a Cirrus and thinking about getting my instruments. Anyway, I am blown away seeing the amount work, detail and commitment you and your team have given to this effort. You and your guys represent the qualities and work ethic that made this country great. It warms my heart to see there a still folks like you around! As for the naysayers - let them take a long walk off a short pier.
I'd like to thank you for being a good steward in handling the process and headaches that come with this project. It's harder doing the right thing. Going through this with little or no resistance would make it questionable. We all know when you did the right thing there will be those who will try and knock you off the trail your blazing. Just keep up the good work. You have plenty of us who see your vision and will continue to be there until your goal is reached and the build is completed and the dream of helping others continues.
Thank you for your positivity Brother, we stay motivated because of they support you all show us !
If you have haters you know you are doing something right...just ignore them.
Whatever you say, whatever you do, they're will obviously be haters out there who just want to ruined when people are trying to do good stuff around them. The only thing i would say, continue with your project, leave those negative behaviours behind you and continue to do good in your life and feel all the love coming from real people who believes in your project ! Have a good one from Montreal, Canada. 👍👍👍
Thank you !!
Some people are going to hate - thats just life. I am one of the many who have donated mainly for 3 reasons.
1. You are absolutely bonkers - lol. - This is a stupidly crazy project that is going to make you lose all your hair..
2. You have the energy to finish it.
3. Sometimes, the 'hard' projects just have to be done.
I've been with you since almost the beginning & still enjoy watching - Keep it up amigo.
Been keeping track of this since the first video, and I'm amazed with the places this has gone! A couple hundred thousand later and here we are. I'll be here thru to the end!
I've been an aviation nut since my first airshow at NAS Jacksonville in 1985. I even took A&P classes at George T. Baker Aviation School in Miami. I dropped those classes after 9/11 to join the Army, but I never lost my love for airplanes.
Even though now, flying scares me, I still love planes.
Keep this plane project on track.
Its almost springtime we need more Abandoned Yacht vids!!!
Jason I once said to you that why don’t you finish one project before you start another. Well sir I truly believe in what your doing. Good on you and your crew.🇨🇦. If your ever in Winnipeg look me up would like to meet you and shake your hand.
The 401 is a ground up up and away restoration..love how you are so committed after the rocky start ..👍✌️🇦🇺
There are thankfully many more of us who never doubted you nor your intentions for this project than those who do not. 100%
Keep doing what you are doing. I've thought for years about getting my private pilot's license but I don't have a reason to justify the cost of owning a plane or even renting one. I just live vicariously through videos like these and flight simulators lol.
Lol glad to have you here Jason, thank you for watching
I never thought this was a scam. I am looking forward to the day when the 401 flys again. I have watched this series since the first video, and it is amazing to see how far it has come. Knowing what you are planning on doing once, the 401 is in the air is amazing. Keep up the great work, and do not worry about the ones that have doubts about you and the 401. Good luck.
Hi Ryan, amazing viewers like you are the reason we stay motivated! Thank you for always being apart of this dream
"The Number One...Four O' One!" Too much blood, sweat, and tears, invested for this to be a scam. I'm looking forward to seeing your baby fly! Looking forward to all the future episodes especially the rewiring. Good luck and continued success!
Jason, I stumbled on your channel just as you got hold of the 401, I knew absolutely nothing about aviation or Rebuild Rescue, I am now a fan and way more educated than I was before, I am an avid follower, if for no other reason than entertainment , not to mention everything else that I have learnt along the way. I live in a country (South Africa) where corruption and scams are a massive scourge, and as a result we have all developed finely tuned "scam sensors", and my sensors have-not once been triggered.
Keep doing the amazing work you do, I applaud and salute you and wish we had more individuals in this world like you.
Thank you for sharing and for your support, we are so glad to have you apart of the Rescue Family ❤️
Great video, and a true professional way to keep some of the brand new viewers in tune. For those of us that have been here for a while we haven’t doubted you for one second keep up the great work!
There's another side benefit of doing it this way, as opposed to buying it. It's showing and inspiring people to take on their projects. I, like a lot of people, have projects I've thought about doing for so long, but they keep getting pushed back. One of them had been on the back burner for years and after watching this channel, I started working on it again. It doesn't matter what it is, can be an airplane, a car, a woodworking project, a garden. It doesn't really matter. Seeing you guys do what you do is inspiring and makes me want to get out there, get my hands greasy and get something that I LOVE done. You don't get that benefit out of just buying a plane and flying it.
I was a skeptic at 1st and still am. Going to need to see more proof in the pudding regarding the charity, but I love how much Happier Sam is and how you're helping Joe out. Even if it was a scam, you can't deny how Happier Sam and Joe are. And if you're helping people, you're worth following. More than I can say for some other RUclips channels where the money goes to bigger and better things and not actual people.
I know literally zero about planes or aviation. But the YT algorithm decided I needed to watch and I've gone back and watched every video on the plane and it's been a nice learning piece. From what I can tell every form of job or project will always have some a-holes that want to take a piece for themselves or just random Karen's complaining to management because they feel like they have to be the boss and shut down the fun because they can't have fun themselves. The way you're just casually proving them wrong is great, I love it. I can't wait to see the end results!
Tell them mind their own business, They are just jealous.
You and the team keep doing your best. You help our military people and that make y’all great people. God bless you y’all
Jason, you are legitimate and an inspiration. Those a**holes are just f***ing trolls who are getting into your head. Don't let them man, you got this! We are here with you throughout your journey.
You inspire me in more ways then just the 401. Your mission and your passion inspire a lot of people and can be explained in how your channel has been so successful. Every channel is gonna have people that criticize. Just continue making amazing content because you love what you do, not for anyone else. You don’t need to explain anything to anyone, you have enough to worry about. We love you the way you are and those people will continue to always watch.
The experiences gleaned from the process for everyone involved, including us (supporters, watchers, Veterans and do-gooders) is invaluable. These lessons can be applied to future projects, and I'm sure those of us watching who want to take on non-profit endeavors have learned something as well. Thank you to everyone involved for keeping this project going! As a Veteran myself, coming from a long lineage of Veterans from every branch with all sorts of trauma (psychological and physiological) I know there are people out there who need your help.
Man you can only control the things within your purview. There will always be those whose live to critique and complain. It’s called jealousy. Keep on trucking brother. I look forward to every episode.
I appreciate your support and dedication to the channel Phil, glad to have you here
All these people who think this project is a scam, keep coming back and commenting on the videos. So they are still subscribed. If they are not subscribed, then they are spending time to search up your videos and comment on them. Really shows how much free time they have and how they keep wanting to spread negativity.
Jason, you are an absolutely amazing person with an amazing, giving heart. Keep up the good work man and don't listen to the "junk". We all are supporting and cheering for the success of the 401 and all your other amazing projects and endeavors.
Thanks Greg, I really appreciate your kind words !
Jason, what you are doing is selfless and nothing short of amazing!!! People reporting you to FAA and calling this a scam… wow!!! Remember the wheel of karma turns… it will come back to them. Thank you for not loosing heart and continuing the great work. I wish I was in a position to contribute even more. Perhaps in time the universe will smile on me. You have my deepest respect!!
thanks for staying strong💪 haters be haters. will never believe no matter what you say
Thank you for your support !
Btw. The weather seal on your Tesla is not seated properly 😂
In my eyes, the whole point was to rebuild the aircraft. The fact that it was such a wild idea and that it generated this series, which is perfect for long-form ad RUclips in 2023, is great! The fact that it generates revenue and gets donations, is also great! They are not mutually exclusive. All it means to me is that the plane gets the best attention, the best parts, the best technicians, and that it will fly again. Everything else is supplementary. Kudos, Jason and the Rebuild Rescue team!
I'm far from being "A hater" I used to love watching the channel when you first got the 401. But soon after came free yatchs, free other planes etc in the end, for me anyway, it just felt like I was watching a rich man show us his play things. As such I lost interest. I don't think it's all a scam. I really do wish you well. But for me it all got diluted to much and I lost interest.
Seems very disingenuous to the camera too. To me at least
I’ve only just found this channel and binging this rebuild on my day off work
Can’t wait to see the finished plane. If he finishes it or has finished it then fair play to him . I am a car enthusiast all my life and watch people like Matt Armstrong who has multiple flash projects on the go at once
So it’s nothing different
Jason, don’t listen to the detractors. You have my support !
Perfect series thus far! Real quick- the "negative nancies" will always be there. They are miserable people within themselves and they need to bring everyone around them down.
Don't bite their bullcrap. Stay true to the project!
I am so looking forward to seeing the project progress and the final result. Besides, so looking forward to wheels off the deck.
All this coming from a 55 year old still in aviation, although military and working for a Training Squadron in Pensacola, FL. Also 12 1/2years in military aviation as a jet engines mechanic.
Thank you so much Rebuild Rescue!!! Well done
Thank you for your kind words Steve, I am glad to have people like you apart of this journey
This project has become a part of me that I literally had to watch it first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. The reason is because I learned a lot and explored a lot of skills as a bachelors degree student in mechanical engineering.
Man this channel started off on fire it’s about 1% what it use to be. Is it fame? Complacency? Laziness? Idk just rewatch the first 10 videos compared to the last 10
We all love Jason and the crew, even the haters who come and watch every video just to comment are helping with the project watching ads and leaving interactions so youtube shares the content with more people
Thank you for the break down. I was wondering about the hanger, but it is so cool to see everything and everyone helping out with this project.
Glad it was helpful and you enjoyed!
Jason: I recently discovered Rebuild Rescue and working hard to get through the backlog of videos. Enjoying every minute so far! Enjoy getting to know you, Sam, and the entire Team. It is a shame that there are trolls and doubters out there, but it is so impressive for you to take the time to address them the way did and by being so vulnerable by sharing your personal story. I will bet that the respect this community has for you and your team has continued to grow as a result. I just realized you are in Lancaster County! I met my wife when we were a few years younger! Thank you for all you do. It has been a great ride so far, and I cannot wait to see new videos drop!
Jason I love what your doing and I am inspired to work towards my own pilots license. Thank you and keep the faith!
Best of luck Brother, thank you for supporting the channel !
No matter how much you try and change the haters they will never change. We know what you are doing is a good thing keep up the good work.
Thanks Scott👍🏻
Hey Jason, followed you from the beginning, it is obvious you are coming from a good place, keep up the great work mate, and looking forward too seeing you help deserving people out.
Much appreciated Chris, so glad to have you here as a day one. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series !
My friend don't waste your time with that kind of people. Theres always be that kind of person who hates what others people do. So keep going my friend,looking forward never back.
Thank you for staying positive Pedro !
Some people can't stand to see others succeed and will do everything in their minuscule amount of power to drag you to their level.
Exactly! Totally agree!
To be honest I also thought a bit controversal about this project.
But not in a hating way or also not in the way that I think you just wanna make donation scam.
It was more like the question if it's really you who is making all the stuff happen with the plane and if it was realistic to start a project
with such a wrecked plane.
You had some attempts to repair stuff which resulted in "okay we have to rebuild/exchange the whole thing" but in the end it is
reasonable for me because nobody knows what a 17 year old plane wreck ist going to look like under its covers.
In the end you are the man who is selecting what he is recording and what is coming into the videos. Thats important.
But in general its not wrong to question things critically. Its the opposite way in my opinion, because its good to question things critically.
Of course not in a hating or accusing way but in a communicational way and it is great that you clear up things with this video.
Keep on going man, I am totally excited about news.
I really appreciate this video! It’s great to see your transparency and putting to rest the nay sayers. I donated to this project because I believe in your vision and I am partial to the 401 since I worked on one in A&P school. Thank you for sharing and bringing us along. 🙏🏻
Thank you for supporting us through it all, you are the reason we do not give up !
In my mind, the naysayers are either just trolls or have no concept of the complexity of a project like this. Rock on brother!!💪♥️🙏
You've got a worldwide audience [I'm in New Zealand].
This plane brings back a lot of good memories for me.
We had a C402B as our Jumpship and we enjoyed many hours flying about and jumping from it.
It finally ran out of airframe & everything hours and was retired. It's probably parted out now and a shell in a shed. [I wouldn't recommend any of the parts, we did run it as far as it could possibly go on extensions but how far can you take it until it breaks completely].
Loving this story and the videos. I randomly stumbled across video one and have enjoyed the ride ever since.
Thank you and good luck [not that you'll need it]
Thank you for sharing Brother, I love learning more about you all! Thank you for investing your time into the channel and supporting us through it all
