Well hell... I actually learned a lot in this video about what changed when. Another fun fact: The C172 still holds the world record for the longest endurance flight ever conducted, which started in 1958 and ended in 1959. The flight lasted over two months without ever touching the ground!!! It's an amazing feat of engineering and pilot willpower. The actual plane that beat the record is hanging in the Las Vegas Mccarran Airport over the baggage claim.

Nice video. Never would have believed the 172s would reach $150k and higher. Bought mine for $57k in 1998.

Bought my 172B for 20K Canadian (15KUSD) in 2021... 250hr engine. Spending about 30K CDN over 6 months to upgrade to a full glass panel avionics, all new wiring, switches, paint, lights etc. So if you look around, and can do some / most of the grunt work yourself (of course under AME supervision): there are still deals out there.

@@dieglhix same these boomers ruined it for the kids. My parents had such an easy great life and I am in studen tloan debt in a cubicle renting.

Fit a 172 with flap seals it is incredibly hard to stall. I went up with my flight instructor when I was learning to fly and on that session we were to do power off stalls, among other things. At his direction I gave it carb heat, reduced power to idle, and pulled back on the yoke as far as it would go. It just started gently settling down with the nose elevated. Finally he let me in on how the flap seals were working and showed me the way to trick the 172 into doing a power off stall. Get the nose all the way up by pulling the yoke all the way back, slowly move the yoke forward a little, then very quickly pull the yoke all back again very quickly. Remember, if it can't stall, it can't spin. It's really a great airplane.

Finally, a breakdown of all the 172 models! I just learned a lot in 7 mins, thank you

I took my first flight in a “R.” Later I trained in a “N”, and today I rent a “D.” Funny how I went from newest to oldest. The latter still beats out other newer 172s due to its constant speed prop, which the owner opted for.

Currently learning on a 172 and now I’m looking to buy one. Going to have to wait for the market to crash to pick one up

Finished my PPL in a G model. It's a great trainer and a confidence builder.

I love your straight to the point videos!

stellar work.. never seen the variant's side by side before... thank you

Excited to view this excellent video for the first time as I’m a new 172 owner. Even more excited to see my airplane featured as the 1965 F model, N5455R. And I’m fact you correctly identify the addition of electric flaps and that’s the only thing I would like to change about my airplane :). Thanks for a great video.

Hi bud, thank you for creating these videos!!! I have always dreamt of owning/flying a small aircraft. Now that I a m in a position to buy, I have found your videos not only informative but INSPIRING! Just liked and subscribed... Cheers!

Great video, concise, clear , detailed and short.

Always love the 172! got my PPL, CPL, IR in the P and S model both analog and G1000~!

Great video! Thanks!

Great history lesson.

Just had my first training today in a 172. And like you sad. It was a lot of fun! 😄

Fantastic video!

Great job!

Good video. Never new Rockcliffe's airplanes can look this nice in pictures 😄

Thanks for sharing the video , my favorite is S model with G1000 👌

I miss this detailed kidn of review and would love if you could do this type of detailed review more often ❤️

Would love to see a detailed video like this about all the Mooney M20’s!

Thank you for so informative video , interesting so many types of 172 I enjoy flying it as well as the sporty as I call it 152

Great video! I'm an aspiring pilot myself so I was looking up cessna 172 videos because I heard flight schools use them and stumbled upon this! Great video! I had only heard about the basic 172 skyhawk at this point, didn't know there were so many models.

Thanks. The cost per mile is the cost per hour divided by distance traveled in one hour which is just the cruise speed. The cost per hour is the total fixed cost divided by the number of hours flown in a year plus the total variable cost.

I bought a Redbird Jay last year and thoroughly enjoy the 172, steam gauge version. Too many issues at the FBO near me.

I am very interested in the Mooney differences in the E and F models plus the Super 21. Would love to see that video.

Nice, Thx for the review! How about a Zlin 142 (or its family) review?

Very cool. The "S" with G1000 really takes away from useful load as well. All those batteries take up some of the useful load. Great airplane though.

I'm gonna try to get a pre-owned one when the time comes. I started playing flight simulator again today after some time and I started off the day in VR taking off and doing some pattern work at KLOT.

The Cessna,s 150 and 152 are Splendid aircraft, great to fly and very forgiving, and buying either aircraft you will Never lose money, a great investment. An excellent aircraft of which to learn to fly.

You forgot another nice model, the Reims Rocket, licence built in Reims, France late sixties early seventies, 210 hp, constat speed prop, an auxiliary fuel tank behind the baggage compartment an a huge payload. I'm forgetting the details because I haven't flown one in about 30 years but I think it had a max endurance of more than 8 hours at 55%. Some were used for para dropping. Some got converted to 3 blade props due to noise issues but most are grounded by now.

Love your videos man! This might be a big ask, but is there any way you could release a new version of this video with the shorter format you've been nailing every time? It would feel more on brand, but only if it makes sense for you to do so. Keep it up, you're killing it!

Could you do one of these review videos for the Cessna Cardinal series?

Didn't read all 135 comments... but you left out the 172XP, had 195hp 6 cyl continental with a constant speed prop. Built mostly for seaplane operators. Didn't do well with wheeled customers as it was slower than the Archer with a bigger fuel burn.

Do one for the 182.

In Denver if you want to actually buy a 4 place that will carry 4 and fuel and luggage and have the range to go anywhere…..you need to buy something with at least 200hp

if you allow me a small nitpick, when you show the most built planes in the world after the 172, Il-2 and Me-109, that isn't a picture of a Me-109 but of a Hispano Aviacion Ha-1112 Buchon, a license-built 109 with a british Merlin engine, the front end is completely redesigned. Most were used as movie planes, hence the german paintscheme on all of them, even though they entered service with the spanish in the 50's. Great video though :)

@@CompleteWalkaround That's why Experimental are taking over. The last data I saw was from 2011 I believe. That year, just over 2000 aircraft of every make and model in GA were produced in factories and sold in the US. That includes every type of airlines, business jet, Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, etc. Literally everything. Barely over 2000 new aircraft in total manufactured that year. That same year, over 10,000 new homebuilt aircraft received their airworthiness certificates. And the ratio of experimental to factory is only going to get worse. The FAA has priced factory aircraft out of the market, and put them into a death spiral. You seem good with the data, maybe I am wrong, and you can square me away if that's the case. But the fact is Experimental deliver greater speeds (high and low), payload, range, capability, ownership costs, and purchase price than a comparable factory aircraft. I believe you mentioned building an RV14, so I assume you already know all of this as well.

I found a really cheap Cessna 172 on safari for frickin $179.50.

and I can't afford one today.

It’s unfortunate airplanes are not affordable anymore because of the sue happy product liability attorneys…..
