Glens Hangar Episode #12 Small Jobs On The Road To Dynon Skyview HDX Certified Panel

Glens Hangar Episode #12 Small Jobs
We are knee deep in the restoration of this 1961 Cessna 172B, but there are a lot of little jobs that need to be done on the way to installing a Dynon Skyview HDX into our little Cessna. We are doing a full Dynon Certified Panel instal - this will be a full glass panel Cessna 172 when we are finished.

Welcome friends welcome back to the hanger welcome back to charlie foxtrot mike victor uniform so today's episode is a little bit of a jumble it's a bunch of footage that I've shot um over the last couple of weeks of jobs that we've been doing there's no real rhyme or reason to what's going on other than we're just working through all of the tiny little jobs that have to be done in the background before we can move on to the big jobs i don't know that there really is a big job. I mean the rebuilding a Cessna airplane is a bunch of tiny little things that have to fall into place and we're being held back a little bit um by what's happening out there in the in the bigger world we can't find some parts and we're waiting for them to come in and it could be a couple of weeks so we're sort of working around those problems and we're doing what we can to keep the project moving forward. So this episode and probably the next episode are going to be about the same level of tiny little jobs that get us to the point where we're dragging this plane over the finish line. So here's what's been happening in the hangar over the last couple of weeks; so the front tire is flattened and the back is jacked up the whole idea is that this is the attitude of the aircraft in flight straight and level flight and that right now if you put a level here it would read zero degrees and the whole idea behind this is that inside the fuselage is Freddy who works with Chris and he's building a shelf right here for the Dynon remote magnetometer and the idea is that the remote magnetometer and the ADHRS unit behind the panel have to be both level at straight level flight and they have to be within a half a degree of each other in order for the whole Dynon system to work correctly so Freddie's setting that up

here's your line through the tape that's supposed to be like a foot apart this one yeah and so if we put one on one side we will have to get this lined up longitudinally too but we're short three inches so we're gonna have a little so way back here in the aft compartment of the aircraft behind the extended baggage compartment Freddy has built us a little shelf that goes side to side and on this shelf is going to go our ELT

it goes that way that's the emergency locating transmitter if we ever crash that's going to let people know where we are and this is the remote magnetometer for the dynon system and the whole idea of putting this magnetometer back here is that it's away from the engine it's away from anything that is steel or iron because it is a magnetometer it needs sort of its own bubble and so that will connect to the panel at the front

this will go back on it'll be hidden no one will ever know that it's there it's something that we only check during the annual

good job looks all right hey it does look all right thank you all right no problem dude now he's your friend you must have fed him something no he just loves following me he smells like cat i think chicken so freddie's making a plate to go on the back side because we took the venturi off we no longer need the venturi and it left us with five ugly holes through the fuselage so freddy's making up a plate and we're gonna use one of the holes for the temperature probe

so that's it for this update i want to thank everyone for watching and commenting it means a lot to me um please hang on we're really getting going with the project now thanks for stopping by see you again soon

That is going to be a sweet airplane when you’re done!

My husband and I came here from your wonderful cooking channel and we have no clue whatsoever about flying or planes but we're hooked on this show which we've binge watched over the past couple of days and now following your progress with great interest! Amazing to watch the transformation of the plane and your dedication to making it happen. Also you have inspired my husband to get flying lessons once Covid allows. Gutted to have missed the baseball caps though please do consider adding some more for sale, would love to get one. Wishing you lots of success from the Netherlands!

I don't have my PPL yet, but man I wish the simple polished aluminum finish was more popular on these planes. They look so much better than most of the paint jobs you see on Cessnas.

[ActualKaktus]

I didn't get the bare aluminum thing until I saw this video. It's beautiful.

[MichaelPeterDalsgaard]

Dang! That thumbnail! The chrome look was the right choice!

[JamesPaquetteArt]

Building a 172 flight simulator. Your videos have giving me some great views of what you normally can't see. Thank you

[islepilot]

You got me to make Key Lime Pie from your other channel, and now you have me thinking about building an RV-6 again. You are a good influence...or maybe a bad one. :)

“Roller, roller, nut and bolt, cotter key in place”. Only thing I remember of the T-41 preflight 52 years later.

[fepatton]

Oooh, that tool at 9:00 is really clever. This Fred likes it too!

[Tinkering]

Omg lockwire, talk about ptsd. Much respect AVN bros.

[johndriver]

Very pleased to have found Glen’s Hangar from Dorking England! So enjoyable watching the aircraft returning to airworthiness 👍

[paulrenny]

Hey There. Really enjoying your Hangar episodes. Good work and nice to see an older airplane getting a new lease on life. I have the complete Dynon SV system in my RV -4 and absolutely love it. Very simple and well thought out. Speaking of which, I really like Freddy's hole liner upper tool! See, the simple things really are better! Next time I am Edenvale visiting friends I'll have to check to see if your main hangar door is open and say hello.

[cragonaut]

Thanks so much for sorting the audio setup. I've watched all the previous episodes and nearly gave this one a miss because it was so frustrating not to hear people. I totally understand why it was like that, but it's wonderful now to be able to benefit from hearing people who clearly know what they're doing.

[fourtwozero]

Whattt? Glen has a plane channel?! Glad I found it. Thanks YouTube recommended!

[mattym]

Getting there... This series is a good advertisement for your AME. He doesn't miss much. If I find myself near Edenvale in need of a mechanic for my 172 then I know where to go.

[JerryB]

The three of you work well together. It's quite apparent that Chris and Freddie trust your abilities and don't just see you as another "owner" looking over their shoulders.
Happy New Year.

[murlthomas]

I spotted the little friend you made! Hope he’s okay in the weather. I’m starting to really see the progress you are making and I imagine if it were me, I’d be totally useless but standing on the sidelines jumping up and down in anticipation. I can hardly wait for your first flight.

[XMarkxyz]

The polished alluminium does look awesome especially with the red accents

[Tinkering]

I had no idea this channel existed until you mentioned working on a plane in your white chili video, I'm an aircraft tech in the Canadian military.
But I pick on Julie sometimes so you probably hate me lol.
Hey crap that riveting is bringing me back. Your guys there do the job of three different trades in the military pretty much, major respect.

[tigersfan]

there are some grade A canadian accents in this vid lol. (and also some cool plane stuff)
