If you haven't heard about the Goonzquad Brothers, it's about time you find out. These two brothers began their YouTube career in 2015, making construction videos that went viral and, as a result, garnered millions of subscribers from all over the world.

While the duo usually does construction and work with cars, this time, they're up to something even bigger and more insane, something they've never done before – rebuilding a Robinson R22 Helicopter! Having planned this project for over a year, the brothers finally managed to procure a Robinson R22 helicopter for their makeover project.

The Robinson R22 is a helicopter from the 1970s. It's a light utility chopper with two blades and a single-engine, with a top speed of about 180km/h. Just in case you're wondering, this project was done recently, with the videos uploaded in July 2020.

Of course, this is probably not feasible in terms of cost and space for most of us, so sit back and enjoy the process!

Pick Up

The brothers had planned this rebuild for many months and finally found a used R22 for their project. Of course, we know that flying a helicopter is no mean feat, and they would have to learn how to fly one, but for now, rebuilding and giving it a makeover would do. Just for now!

Day one had the brothers exploring the hangar at the dealership and going for a helicopter ride. They also had some fun with the dealership owner's Tesla and almost considered changing their intended purchase. Lucky for us, they stuck to their original plan. They had a look at their soon to be "Goonzquad chopper," and we got a sense of what their plans would be for it.

A couple of days later, after finalizing their purchase, the brothers took a two-hour drive to the dealership to pick up their R22 helicopter. While the weather may not have been conducive for a test flight, they were still excited about their new acquisition. Shortly after getting the rotor and the other blades removed in the hangar, the helicopter was finally ready to be brought back to the workshop for a complete makeover.

While we know that transporting helicopters anywhere can be a huge hassle due to their size and shape, these two managed to get it back into their workshop safely before ending the episode.

Teardown

After transporting the Robinson R22 helicopter from the hangar back to the garage, the two brothers were now ready to begin their complete overhaul of the aircraft. The overhaul is necessary since most of the parts, including the engine, would have to be sent back for testing.

After purchasing the biggest shelves they could possibly find at the hardware store, the duo began their overhaul process. After unscrewing and removing the removable parts of the helicopter, they begin their work from the interior.

While playing around with the seats and removing the headliner, the two gave the interior a clean and removed some of the panels before getting to the fuel tank. Draining the fuel, the brothers continued to remove the remainder of the panels as well as the main tank. Interestingly, the panels of the helicopter were made out of Kevlar.

The next day, the Goonzquad brothers succeeded in removing both the fuel tanks and began to remove the seats and the other aspects of the aircraft's interior that they had not yet removed. The duo also discovered the exhaust heating system of the helicopter, which pretty much fascinated them.

Rebuild Status

Continuing with the overhaul of the Robinson R22, the brothers carefully removed the transmission component from the helicopter. Not long after, the brothers decided to head to the supermarket in their tricked-out Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk for a bite to eat. After heading back and cooking up a quick meal, they get back to work.

Back in the garage, the brothers continued their work by building a bracket for the helicopter transmission. Having mounted the transmission onto the custom bracket, they proceeded to remove the remainder of the transmission parts before sending it away to the factory to get it rebuilt. The following day, the two of them proceeded to remove the major components and get the engine out of the helicopter.

Getting the clutch successfully removed on their own, the duo then detached the exhaust system from the body of the helicopter. At this point, most of the components had been taken out from the aircraft and were ready to be sent for inspection and reconstruction. We continue to anticipate the release of the next episode. Who knows, we may even get to see the completely rebuilt Robinson R22 helicopter take off!
