As an Aussie myself and a rookie with only 15 hours, your videos make me so excited for what’s to come in my flying journey!

Ahh that’s cool!! Yeah so much fun to be had, keep up the hard work and well hope to see you out there !!

Broo!!! Just the right video at the right time! Exactly what I'm looking, I'm from SA too!

Grew up with a c172 as a kid living in Wst Qld. We flew from Djarra to Mount Isa in it sometimes. Nice to reminisce. Thanks

Nice video and very honest, bro. Well done. I'm planning to learn to fly soon, do my best to get a RPL licence.. always been a dream ✨️

Bruh, you know owning a plane itself is soo cool already. Honestly, when we see it, we will already get amazed at the fact you have one. I don't think we will care too much about the look.

Living the Dream!! 😎

cool video mate!

Hay mate, thanks for making the video, I was looking at buying a C172 myself, I've actually found one (SA based also) not sure I could afford the $11k a year to keep it flying and serviceable.

It's no DA62 but still a mighty fine little machine. Good pickup.

Hey champ ,the 2 venturi tubes on the side provide vacuum to power your DG & AH. Also early c172's were powered by continental O- 300, meaning they were carburated not Injected.

Love it! Great little plane. Love the '60's vibe - built to last with some TLC. Do you plan to upgrade avionics at some stage?

Hey Mate! Been watching your videos a fair bit super interesting. Thanks for putting them out there. How’s everything been the past year or so since passing your CPL and buying the Cessna?! Are you working in industry at all?

Good move … I did the same with a 182 and just finished the engine rebuild… a few dollars there… you know when you put it away in the hangar at the end of the day and come back a few days later it will be in the same condition and nothing broken.

Yeah my level of confidence to take on marginal or hot weather is alot less than if I had a new power block and all the engine monitoring equipment you can get with it...

Thanks for sharing. What do you think of the paint color? Getting mine painted soon, thought of yellow for high visibility

Oliver, congrats on having your own machine. Are you still living in QLD and basing the 172 in SA? I'm in Sydney but often in SA, have my own machine too and if you'd be keen on doing some travel let's chat.

Great video, thanks for the detailed walk around. Those stall horns look a lot like vacc generators...lol

Every time I post a video I learn something unintentionally… for some reason someone told me that was an additional stall horn obviously I just ran with it. If you ever find a equipment schematic for a 172h I’ll need to update my POH obviously 😂. Thanks and sorry for my tardiness

@@OliverFlying all good. I’m sure you e got other things to do. I’ll have to check with my flight school with what info they have on the 4 x C172’s we got

Congrats ! My 12 year old is obsessed with becoming a pilot . What are the pathways ? Thanks

IO300 6 cylinder may produce less power than 4 cylinder but a lot less vibration that wears every thing out, gyros, flap tracks, pilot, smoother the better just my opinion for what its worth

I am from perth congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 brother

Thank you so much 😀

Hey dude not seen you in a while. May not be the prettiest but as long as it does the job hey. Engine overhaul will probably be costly when the time comes. Thanks mate

It’s been too long for sure !! Yeah overhaul or upgrade to a 180… it gets the job done

Nice job mate!

Nice like everything in aviation it’s not a free lunch the 50 you saved on buying a cheap plane will be used on a new engine and paint.

Buy gps with ADS-B until there is rabate from government :)
