For all of the weekend Mechanics who think they know better than a trained and certified professional... These videos are edited for time, flow, and entertainment. I edit out vast amounts of the process; yes you didn't see Chris spend an hour reading the instructions, because that doesn't make for great viewing. This is not an instructional or how to video, and all work was done in accordance with Canadian regulations and instructions provided by the parts manufacturers.

@@mr_b22 Has nothing to do with your question - I actually texted Chris to find out the answer, but when I came back your comment was gone. My comment was directed at the two viewers who left a total of 12+ comments between them who accused us of not properly torquing the nuts, of not putting on the axel nuts, of not reading the directions, of not, of not of not etc etc etc. Ending in one of them 'notifying the FAA' of sloppy workmanship. So nothing directed at you, I recognise you from comments on both of my channels, and welcome legitimate questions. But I also get 100s of ridiculous idiots who just troll and make trouble.

Nice to see Chris's reactions to the Parker kit. Good stuff.

As someone else stated, what a super way to start the weekend, coffee and new Glens Hanger video. And it’s a video with Chris! I have to say I absolutely love your videos with you and Chris working on your plane. His knowledge and skill is obvious and he’s just fun to listen to. Looking forward to the next few videos. If I remember, you tried to install an electronic ignition on the initial rebuild but it wouldn’t work correctly so curious to see this one. Thanks again for these videos, really do appreciate the effort you put in to make them.

Watching Chris work takes me back 40 to when I was in the Air Force maintaining Jet Provosts. I currently drive a PC and miss those days.

Boy, that's an expensive set of wheels and brakes. I was lucky and able to get used/serviced ones for my Aero Commander Darter about 10 years ago. I can only imagine what they must cost NEW from Parker. $$$ I'm sure... All the Best, Ron

Yeah - I'm still trying to get my head around how the wheels / brakes cost more than the Autopilot I installed... Nothing makes sense anymore.

Y'know Glen, I really enjoy your flying videos, but what surprises me is how much I am enjoying the aircraft maintenance and upgrades side. Really interesting and insightful.

If you plan on keeping the airplane, it pays to do these upgrades! Let's face it; these all metal airframe can last for decades! My friends early model is doing great at age 66 ! But it has always been hangered and lives in the drh, sunny Southwest!

Thought I would pop in and say how much I’m enjoying your channel. I think the KZread algorithm loaded you on my recommended list after watching Chris Palmer’s Angle of Attack for a while. Great recommendation KZread! Anyway, as someone with very little DIY skills I get jealous pleasure in watching those that are competent. It’s been really fun and impressive to watch the transformation of MVU. My binge watching has me almost caught up so please keep the great content coming. Oh, and I subscribed to your cooking channel too! More great content!

I have a bag full in my shop box, Still running a set of goodyears on my Aeronca.

Glenn's a and p is outstanding, Nice to see he has an apprentice coming up behind him. It's not clear that young people want to follow in the footsteps of the general aviation maintenance community.

So, how much quicker does MVU stop now, Glenn? Are we gonna see some STOL Drags in the future? :P

Love this channel Thanks Glen for the great footage

Excellent, informative.

Great video Glen!

great landing

Nice video and nice to see you flying with no smoke anywhere

Love the videos! I own a 172B.

As a fan from Cleveland, Ohio USA I’m happy to see the Cleveland name as well as a local company featured (lame, I know, lol)!

Great video once again, nice to know when you taxi and land at CYOO you have great breaks and won’t run into my house😂

10:51 awesome shot! I love your camera work Glen

That's awesome I'm only two hours away from Avon pretty cool stuff Glen love your old cook book show tho along with the hanger!

Nice upgrade, Bought the tools and parts to re-line my Cleavland brakes on my RV6 last spring... easy-peazy!

I love Glens hanger, Done a good few lessons in Helicopters over the years but always fancied fixed wing. Its on my to do list for next year :)

Glen, you drove through my neck of the woods when you went to Bellingham! Hope you liked the area!

Baby got a new pair of shoes!

I recall your first video of "Glen's Hanger" where you mentioned Chris was a little shy of the camera. I think he's getting used to it! He reminds me more of Norm Abrams everytime we see him....M

Those new Clevelands are far better wheels and brakes than the antique Goodyears. You’ll get much better performance! So good that you might even lock up the new ones when pressing the same amount of foot pedal force than with the old ones.

G,day Glen from Sydney Australia. Cool wheels on MVU that's the first time I've seen a Cessna lifted with a trolley jack. 🌏🇭🇲

Great video as usual. Your landing brought up an offbase question. If going in for an emergency wheels up landing why not kill the engine on just before touchdown? Would that not possibly save the engine (s)?

Very Cool. I didn't know plane wheels were 2 pieces. Also, if you are replacing only one magneto, will the original magneto and the electronic one get along?

It's nice to be able to stop when you want to.

Nice job ..! Sweet touch down .. any noticeable difference ..?

better braking, no squeaking, and better turn radius if you brake to help the turn.

Did the pedal feel change adding that addition short stainless flex line ? Did the brake modulation change at all, like did you feel you had race car breaks after the new install. Two other questions... does it come with caps for the bearing to reduce dirt ingestion water etc. or do you need to re torque or recheck the install after a few T/O and landings. Also I noticed after T/O they stopped pretty quick, do you tap the breaks after T/O? Great stuff Thanks for sharing.

@GlensHangar

8 ай бұрын

The pedal feel is much better now, brakes are a bit 'touchy' in comparison to what they were - but I'll get used to that pretty quick. Checking the gear is part of every pre-flight, not down to checking the torque but definitely looking for loose parts. There are wheel caps available, I'm on the lookout for a pair.

Hey Glen You have invested so much time and money to bring your plane up to its quality stand have you throught of doing a lycoming 180hp conversion? I did that conversion to my P172D with the Hartzell constant speed from Delair its changes the plane completely in everyway like at 24 inch 2400rpm 118 knots indicated , take off is if you can land in it you can take off in it , also ups your gross weight. Very easy conversion to install too. Cheers Alistair from Australia

@GlensHangar its a lot of money but if you are keeping the plane for ever its worth it , we got put in a corner with are plane as the old engine blew up and we did want to wast money doing it up . A good way to do it is just keep an eye out for a U/S airframe that has the engine prop combo that sought the STC , can have the cost , l have fitted a 180hp fixed pitch conversion to a C172C it did 115 knots at 2400. The hardest bit of the conversion except for the $$ is the cowling mods. Everything else is just bolt on.. Cheers

Glen, I admit that I haven't had a lot of chances recently to keep up with you and FMVU. Something I noticed. On takeoff, no real rotation. The aircraft just started climbing in a nearly flat attitude. The same applies for the landing, although you could see the mains barely touch down first. I'm assuming that's from the wing extensions, cuffs and VGs. Secondly, I'm not sure what the law is in Canada. I know that some of the Electronic Ignition systems here in the States are, or at least were, designed to replace both mags. Do you still need to have at least one Mag in Canada, or can you replace both? I realize it may also be engine-dependent. Are we going to see an upgrade to an IFR panel and associated radios as well as new display screens sometime in the near future?

@GlensHangar

8 ай бұрын

The wing modifications really changed the way this plane flies. If I want to be aggressive with the take-off and landing I can pretty much drag it on its tail and rotate at 25 mph into ground effect, same / opposite on landing. But with long paved runways it isn't really necessary and it's a bit uncomfortable. At 38 mph it just sort of starts flying whether you want to or not. The electronic ignition is certified to replace both mags - but right now I'm just doing one (cost). Th manufacturer has also said that replacing one on my engine is as good as doing both. IFR... longterm maybe. Cost is a huge factor, $40K++CDN for equipment, plus installation and associated costs. MVU may remain a VFR only aircraft for a while yet.

@@GlensHangar Glen, thanks for the reply. That's some pretty amazing numbers for getting a 172 on and off the ground in. As to the EFI, this is what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I know the FAA at first was kind of reluctant to certify both Mags to be replaced with EFI. I would agree that having just one, and having the mag probably won't make a whole bunch of difference, since the EFI will be the primary ignition source. As to VFR only, well, I don't even have the money to rent an airplane to fly, let alone outfit one, so I get you there. However, I also kind of got the impression that with a new panel and you were saying 'bigger displays' and such I thought maybe you were looking for some upgrades. Heck, even a used GNS-430W, or two, would certainly get you on your way, or, if you like the Avidyne, the IFD 440, if you can find a used one, would be good.
