That look of "Oh Sh*!" when there was generator problem was heart wrenching! Just a fuse. Whew, absolute relief. She purred on second start up though.

Glen between cooking, aviation and beer brewing you're a Renaissance man.

Shirt matching the plane in the intro !? Such a pro move Glen ! ! :D

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Can't wait to see her fly

As a retired Marine Engineer(Operating Engineer) I am enjoying this channel very much. I have learned a few things as well. I see that your AME is a very patient person and a great teacher. As far as the oil as mentioned it is the trend that needs to be watched. When I sent oil out for analysis if a reading cams back high I would wait wait for a while and redo do it. Most of the time the second one was okay. Can't wait for the next video. Thanks for sharing your experience.

She gon' be the Queen of the skies!

You saw a mock-up of an Avro Arrow? That's awesome! Your plane looks like a sweet plane, and I never even thought about footage of you flying her, so now I'm excited.

I'm an AME. This guy knows his stuff. Meat and potatoes.

I had no idea this channel existed until the cookbook unboxing the other day. Now I'm having a great time watching this whole process! Wonderful content, Glen!

Glen... This is Glen from down here in western Oregon.. I stumbled across your channel and have watched most of what you have posted!!! I am kinda jealous, but excited for you that you got a stellar looking plane for a stellar price!!! They are always a work in progress as you already know and understand.. Maybe some day in your adventures, you can bring that down here to 77S where I live.. But for now, as with many channels that I watch, I’m gonna live my dreams through your eyes... Thanks for posting good stuff for us to watch!!!! See you on the next video Glen...

Congratulations Glen! I Started flying on a dollar seventy- two out of Mount Hope a long time ago. Since retired after twenty some-odd thousand hours, I can now live vicariously through your hangar and cooking channels (best of all worlds)

Oh my that engine, sounds like an old school bus. I love it.

Ah the Arrow, beautiful and tragic. What might have been.

I am Grateful you share your videos. I owned a 1961 172c for over 28yr I have touched literally every in part of my Cessna through those years and your videos allows me to visually relive those joyful happy moments and sounds of a Classic Bird and Cont O-300D. Unfortunately a hurricane significantly damage it l did put her back together but because of personal life drama I had to let her go before I got to fly her again. You have a Great Girl there I know she will treat you well and give you wonderful memories. Happy Flying !!!

Thank u Captain

Awesome video!

Thank you for sharing

thank you for your videos

Really enjoying this Glen. Thanks!

Loving this series🙂.

Loving these videos, Glen.

Very Kool !

You got so lucky with this inspector. Great job. I see in many channels where they jump in and try to start it after many years sitting. I don't know the back ground prep. But after being an aircraft mechanic for many years it sends chills up my back thinking of all of those parts trying to move with out being inspected and soaked before even trying to start it. Again great job.

Congrats Glen, looking forward to seeing you up in the sky

I'm really looking forward to seeing this project.

Really enjoying this series. Keep it up!

Very excited for you! Can't wait to see it break into the skyline - got goosebumps when it started up!

keep the videos coming ❤️❤️

In the 80’s I flew to the Bahamas quite often in single engine club planes. I’m glad I hadn’t seen this video then LOL 😆. Now I wish I had gotten to know the mechanic.

Thanks Glen. Fantastic video series so far. Looking forward to more!

Unreal series already. Great work Glen!

I'm really enjoying the new channel, Glen. Keep up the good work.

Keep the maintenance and repair videos coming. I cannot get enough of these.

Nice!

Great

Yay! I'm looking to buy a 177B myself, so this is awesome!

Following this channel. Enjoying it very much.

New sub from the UK, watching with interest :)

I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm motivated to check the bulletin boards of local FBOs to see if someone locally has a deal like this. Can't wait to see you fly her!

Very satisfying watching it being broken down and then see it start up

What a great start to your channel you have here. It's been great to watch you take this wonderful airplane and bring it back to flying condition. I love the this old airplane you've found and are bringing back.

Can’t wait to see you and Julie start taking trips in that bad boy!

I'm liking this channel so much, it shows very openly what it usually you don't get to see about planes

Thankyou and congratulations on your plane, good luck I will be following

Good stuff Glen.

I always love to be involved with when doing a compression check with the A&P Mechanic and I’ve enjoyed watching the work that’s being done

Your set up photography is awesome and I must say that your photography on the move is splendid also. Chasing Chris around, the audio and the shots were great!

So cool to be able to see inside the engine with that long camera!

What a beautiful Cessna, perhaps one of the best buys I've seen for a aircraft in it's class! I very much look forward to seeing you taking it up on it's maiden voyage around the patch. Glen, you brought up a very good point about the perspective buyer/ pilot being involved in the inspection process with your AME. It indeed gives you so much knowledge of everything whereas you gain a intimate knowledge of all of it's mechanical workings throughout the entire aircraft. Once again, I am also impressed with your AME and his great communication skills, along with you asking the relevant questions about each component in question. Overall it all just makes for an excellent video!

I know nothing about planes but the mechanical engineering elements are very interesting, great channel, looking forward to seeing it flying.

Great series and much appreciated. Love the way Chris speaks, thinks and works all at the same pace :-) Early PPL myself so this has been really useful, cheers.

Congratulations on your purchase Glen, I'm looking forward to watching your progress. I hope you have many enjoyable hours in it... 👍🏼🇬🇧

You are going to enjoy this airplane sooooo much Glen. Good point on the oil reports.

Glenn, I am a new pilot and I sell aircraft consumables. This was a great visual for me to understand more about piston engines. One of my customers who is a very experienced and knowledgeable mechanic has planes with only screen filters and is happy without a spin on filter as long as the oil is changed often enough to prevent it from becoming acidic. Oil sampling is a great idea.

Congrats on the purchase! I know nothing about planes, and I highly doubt I will ever get a pilots license, but I really enjoyed watching this series so far and look forward to seeing it up in the air!

Really enjoying the channel; have recently taken over CAMO responsibilities for our group aircraft based in Leicestershire in the UK. A Robin DR400 so nothing like a C172B. The annual walk through was still really great and I learned a lot thanks. Our A/C has just gone in for its annual. Keep up the good work

Great video...my first owner assisted annual with my 172D happens this weekend and it was good to see a similar 172 going through the annual. I helped with two annuals with a 150G that I owned prior to the 172D, but this will be a little different.

You’ve got me hooked.

Keep Chris. He already knows your machine. Snags are a common.

I'm not a pilot and I've never owned an aircraft or flew in one this size but ... I really enjoy the exposure this channel brings. Thanks for taking us along Glen whether it's cooking, cocktails, craft ale or the Cessna.

I am just over near coldwater. We go to show and shine at Edenvale every year love the arrow mock up display every time i see it i just keep dreaming what it could have been.

I thought it was going going to take off across the tarmac for a little "test drive" but happy to hear the noisiness inside the cockpit even if it's not quite what it should sound like yet and the propeller running. It's a good start.

Looks like you got yourself a great deal !

love that plane Glen

G,day Glen's Hanger from Sydney Australia. Chrome cylinders, exceptional news. Great troubleshooting finding the generator fues and explaining the pitting and spalling effect on cam shaft. I wondered way a plane had a spinner: not just presentation. With chrome plated cylinders, you could space oil changes more than (25) hours. Thankyou for sharing your experience with this 172. Best wishes. 🌏🇦🇺

Wait, what? You cook and fly as well?? Strewth! Subscribed to the max, woo-hoo :-)

Chris does a great job - so glad he's leading my team!

The watching-over-the-shoulder effect using the Go Pro is great! I'm jealous. You can't inspect Lycoming cams like that unless you have the cylinders off. About the only thing you can do is check for fine steel slivers in the oil filter. I take the filter apart and cut out the element, wash it in varsol, then swirl a neodium magnet through the dirty varsol looking for fine steel shavings. It's always a hearts topping moment of truth, but all I ever see is a bit of ferrous paste accumulated on the magnet. I bought a bluetooth endoscope off Amazon to borescope the cylinders, looking for scoring and checking the exhaust valve. Normally the exhaust valve should look like a bullseye with an even heat pattern, but because I run on mogas, it just looks like an off-white disc from an ash buildup from something in the fuel, the way they look on cars. Anyway cylinder borescope is actually more useful than a differential pressure test.

The check up is pretty much flying colors. A few minor fixes but, you got yourself a nice Cessna there Glen. Can't wait to see the Hugh Hefner Sky Lounge and overnight accomadations.....Ha-Ha!

That Snowbirds jet though 🤤 What a beauty!

I love watching you work on Charlie. Yes, I'm naming the plane Charlie until you have a proper name.

Awesome content! Love all the technical stuff. Just gutted my '94 Corolla just to see the inner working and do a major overhaul. Was it needed. No. Is it fun/educational/worth it? Absolutely :)

🚧🚧Outstanding informative video Sir😇😇👍👍 Cheers 🍻🍻🚧🚧

Nice work Glen! Not a pilot here but my son just got is license less than 100 hours but it has been his dream since he was a little one. Dad just keep nudging him to just do it!

Did anyone els notice how close this man got those plugs or injectors or whatever they were. To spec by feel befor he got the torque wrench on to it. That was some good shit right there 💪👌

Wait. You fly too?? Great. Another channel I need to subscribe to. :D

I have not been in a Cessna since before my father died. Even though there is a GPS on the board, all the old controls and instruments were just as I remember them. He used to navigate by road maps sometimes...lol

So it turns out that my wife enjoys your cooking channel. I have no idea on how we realized that we both enjoy your content but it was a great laugh when we figured it out. She won't watch this channel with me but it just gives us one more thing in common.

This makes me want to find "Sky King" reruns. In 1971 I had the chance to go halves with my dad buying a membership into a flying club that owned a Piper Cherokee. I bought a car instead, and passed up a potential life changing opportunity in favor of something that wore out a few years later. This series really could stand alone as a tutorial on effective decision making.

Could be the best model Cessna ever built !

I can’t recommend getting a tire all oily like that. Just this summer, I had a spare oil bottle leak into the trunk of my car. The spare tire sat in the oil for some length of time. The rubber softened and swelled and, eventually the tire delaminated and ruptured from the air pressure inside it.

Great point - but where the drains are located on this engine, there is almost no alternative than to get oil everywhere. It is cleaned off almost immediately, however editing removes that context. I should have shown the complete 15-20 minutes of through cleaning at the end.

That one time KZread gets a recommendation correct. The purveyor of fine food and cocktails is also a pilot!

Glad everything is moving smoothly for you! Maybe we’ll catch you at Oshkosh next year.

The Tutor is very reminiscent of the Jet Provost and Cessna T-37 - similar requirements leading to similar configurations.

Wooo!!

Excellent series. The only thing on this one I can'tbelieve that he just allowed the oil to drip all over the front tyre and hanger floor.

as a student pilot I really love the insight into maintenance your videos have been giving, so cool to see how it all works from a new perspective not covered in ground school!

That is really awesome he let you film him while working. Are you planning on flying it a little before you do anything major? I am really looking forward to your new channel.

I don't think the footage is rough at all.. love the AME footage.

Glen, there is an aircraft boneyard in north texas... lots of old birds out in the sand... might be able to get a used spinner that way?

It's interesting, and perhaps not surprising, to see that people were/are doing the same thing with aircraft as with automobiles and real estate. Desperate enough to buy that they're willing to throw caution to the wind, and extra money on top, to avoid someone else doing the same from buying it out from under them.

Great video series, thank you for taking the time to produce them. I am curious, have you considered going the experimental route? I do not know all the ins and out of the rules in Canada, but if it was available in the US that would be the way I would go. The costs associated with keeping these legacy aircraft flying is outrageous when other options could be made available. Have a great day, look forward to the next one.

In Canada we have what's called 'Owner Maintenance' and this 172B qualifies for that category; I would be able to do everything myself, and use parts from the experimental market as well as certified parts not otherwise allowed on this aircraft. But. The FAA in the United States doesn't acknowledge Canada's 'Owner Maintenance' and doesn't allow those aircraft to cross into or fly over the USA (at one point they did, but that changed a few years ago). Since I have family in the US and want to fly for visits as well as fly to / through Central and South America - It just wasn't a possibility.

Loving this video series Glen. It's every aviation enthusiasts dream to buy an airplane, and this is a great insight into what is involved in buying second hand, and doing the plane up to your own personal specs. Really looking forward to what you have planned for her. Please don't feel you need to do short videos. I love the long format videos. Excited for your next one. 👍

When did they stop painting the Position Numbers on the Snowbirds jets? I remember for years they were painted 1 through 11, with 9 of them being show use, and the other two for spares/ferrying team members around to shows. That Arrow mockup was AWESOME! I'm going to have to get out that way to check it out one of these years. Any chance that Chris would be willing to do a Q&A/AMA about being an AME or his take on general aviation in Canada?
