Love the ATC transcription!

The "call outs" that popped up in the video were a nice touch.

Another shout out for the addition of the information bubbles. Really enhances the videos. Thanks again Glen from YAM and ANJ!

I like the graphic you are doing for misc. info like sightseeing. Nice touch. Well done!

i'm not normally an interested in flying kind of guy, but i have to say, i've really enjoyed this series...all the way from the start. it's great to see the evolution of MVU. I love seeing the mechanical aspect of aircraft... and how technology has changed these machines! i can't wait to see more in the future!

Be interesting to see the comparison for fuel burn in summertime. As soon as you said you were feeling cold at the start, wondered how much effect volumetric efficiency was going to play. Great you are honing in on the data on your investment! Love the information blocks you put up for radio comms and general info as you fly. Fantastic slick way of keeping us in the loop :)

That’s great. I should look at that for my plane when my mags get older. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the info graphics 👍

I grew up in Keene, just north of Rice lake.

I find it amusing hearing the place names, "I'm flying to Cornwall", that's going to take longer than 2 hrs Glen 😆 and then the Trent Severn, thats the wrong way round 😁

The Info bubbles are a great addition to an already great channel. Thanks .

Please add my positive feedback on the “info blocks” to the 👍 you’ve received from others. They’re great!

Not a pilot but love these flights over Canada…. Cheers. Ottawa

Really enjoyed the colored boxes of information to get a better understanding of what is happening.

Great video! The overlays with informations about the flight are a really nice addition. I’m a PPL from the Montreal area and I fly often in eastern Ontario from Hawkesbury to Cornwall. The St-Lawrence river is so beautiful from the sky! I really enjoy to follow the evolution of MVU.

Great content. I very much enjoyed the information bubbles. I had to mention it as I'm sure it adds a lot of extra time to your editing.

I like the sightseeing footnotes!

Hey Glen, thanks for sharing the process of testing the new electronic ignition. Did you notice any performance differences, particularly in climb out and take off? It’s pretty impressive how low of an airspeed you get MVU off the ground at. Shame that the FAA doesn’t want us to have your STOL kit down here!

@GlensHangar

MVU seems to get up to speed / off the ground a little bit quicker, if I really wanted to be aggressive with the short field takeoff I could rotate at 35 mph into ground effect. But before I can definitively give numbers I'll have to collect more data. I'm pretty sure the FAA granted an STC for the WingX extensions earlier this year, you should check with them.

Keep those instruction box’s happening ! Excellent 👌

My dad, originally from Pittsburgh, used take annual walleye fishing trips in the 60s to Rice Lake and had standing reservations at Pinecrest Cottages. I’ve heard many stories about his experiences there growing up. Thanks for sharing!

Glenn this is my first time to see Cornwalls airport!!❤

Another +1 for the info boxes. Nice to see you happy with your latest upgrade. Was hoping for a shot of YGK and maybe catch a glimpse of my old house. Still, it was fun to see Eastern Ontario and the 1000 Islands from up there. I covered a lot of that territory, but only at motorcycle altitude. 😊

We had a cottage on Rice lake too. My Grandmother's side of the family grew up in Gardenhill.

That was an enjoyable flight, Glen! Thanks for taking us along. The new ignition system seems happy! I believe Honda used similar "double spark" ignition on some of their motorcycle engines - my 750 Four has that feature. It may have been a way for them to simplify the system, but added the benefit of cleaner combustion, which I'm not sure they expected, back in the 1960s. LOL Best wishes to you!

Hi Glen, Thanks for the video. Looks like we're neighbours. Sweet eMag, great upgrade.

Here’s another 👍🏻 for the info blocks. I’m sure it adds to your editing time but we appreciate the effort and info. Random question: any logic behind why Canadian airport codes start with Y?

@GlensHangar

6 ай бұрын

'Yes' there is logic to why some Canadian airport codes start with a Y... Indicates that Yes the airport has a weather station, if there isn't a weather station like at Edenvale (CNV8), then the identifier starts with another letter.

Loved the sightseeing tips and overlays.

The tracked info boxes are great :) and beautiful landing at the end there, Glen!

Glenn!! Cornwall is 10 mins from me!! GREAT video!! ❤

I have to say, as a British viewer that title had me VERY alarmed for a second. I'm not sure Cessnas are certified to cross the atlantic!

The closest body of water is Lake Ontario. And of course the St. Lawrence River in my back yard.

Wasn’t too sure about your text call-out boxes at first - but I think I like them!

Great video,as always. I like the informative graphical overlays. What are you using to add those to your videos?

Omg the scenes are so beautiful!!❤

love the new on-screen graphics!

Beautiful video!

Great video, also love the information boxes! ☺️

Awesome video Glen! Love the pop out text boxes…

Nice landing!

First magneto in 1832.

So far it looks like MVU is enjoying the new electronic magneto. Even 1 gallon per hour is quite an improvement and it probably will improve your overall engine performance. I really enjoy your vlog since the beginning. I have learned aviating in Sidney, BC, and then moved to Ottawa flying out of 😊 Flying. Eventually move to Montreal flying out of St-Hubert Airport. Love the scenery over the St-Lawrence.

16:28 The 401 maybe 18 lanes, but it is still stop and go during rush hour and Sunday nights. The 407 is expensive, but so is my time.

Love the info boxes too! Have you always used 20 degrees on takeoff? I don't remember ever going beyond 10 degrees in the 172 I learned in.

@GlensHangar

6 ай бұрын

0º - 20º is 'allowed' in the POH of this model of 172 - when I first learned in a later 172 model, I was told to never go beyond 10º. But long before I got my license I worked in the bush of Northern Canada and spent a lot of time being flown into / out of the bush - all of those pilots used 20º. I'm still working out what is best under different conditions - the wing extensions, STOL cuff and VGs changed the flight characteristics of this plane by a wide margin. Reality is: at Oshawa 0º flaps for take-off would be just fine. No real hurry to get off the ground there.

Hi. there bartofilms. Each Electroair Electronic Ignition System works independently. :)

Well crap. I am from Cornwall. I probably tracked you on my FR24 receiver. Been to Cornwall Reginal Airport lots of times.

always love your vids?

Hey Glen! No mention whether or not this change over helped with that problem of switching gas tanks at altitude to prevent stalling? Great video!😎👍👍🍻

Its a process to modernize MVU. ( Rice lake is 374 miles from me! )

Glen, what did you use for your aircraft ceiling? Did you attach it with Velcro or the self adhesive that a lot of rubber insulation/noise reduction matting has? Love your series, installing Sportsman cuff on our 172N soon! Thanks, s-

It always looks low - but it's within spec.

I think the mic gain on your headset is too high or you might even have an issue with that headset. For example, the audio coming from ATC sounded perfect on the first few I heard (this comment is early in the video).

Merry Christmas Glen from Sydney Australia. Well I didn't know that you were analysing your plane's engine performance graphically using Saavy. * Do you send your oil for testing overandabove cutting open the filter and checking in-between the paper pletes? * Do you fly below -0°c could icing be an issue? 🌲🌏

@GlensHangar

I do send out the oil for analysis, and have been keeping close track of that. Icing is always a possible issue here, especially in the shoulder - beginning / end of winter. Just have to watch the forecast, temps and humidity.

CFB Trenton is ground to 6000 - most days you'll get clearance to fly through. I usually just go around the edge and listen on their frequency.

Just out of curiosity : You mention no rpm drop going to the electric only. What is the drop going from electronic to the old mag?

@GlensHangar

Not much more - 30-50 rpm. As much as I get down on the old Case mags, they are pretty powerful; they just aren't (easily, cost effectively) repairable at this point.

if my math is correct, you are getting just under 16 MPG. i just find that interesting . correct me if my math is wrong

Is Glen a nepo baby with an own island? Hahah!
