Good to see this Schmiindy - Look forward to your reaction to accurate fuel indication

I owned N13FG for over a decade, a 1957 twin to yours, same color even. Sure miss her. Can't wait to see the new panel.

[robtebay]

She's a great old plane. The updates will be brilliant. I love vintage things, and live in a 93 year old boat. These elderly machines have amazing character. I think we're custodians, rather than just owners! Looking forward to seeing Mojo fitted out.

You guys seem to really enjoy your 1957 182. We bought an identical plane (N4003D) in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It had 1300 total airframe hours and 350 hours on a chrome major and prop overhaul. We enjoyed the travel it provided as I was a construction engineer and we moved periodically. We made many flights, with two kids, to all parts of the country. My wife got her license in Texas and we both enjoyed the challenge. Thanks for your channel and we will stay tuned.

whoever has a business this girl is a real asset.

I'll miss the vintage look of the panel. It's an antique. Always enjoy your videos.

[GaryLaaks]

She is in fantastic condition for a 62 odd year old Cessna. You going to love the new upgraded version. Cant wait for part 2.

[Jeff-mxj]

OMG. First it was Angle of Attack, then Josh Flowers and after that Martin Pauley and also Stefan Drury. Now you. All these new panels. So cool.

[darkamon]

Looking forward to see the final result!

Gardener Lowe really is a top notch facility. They did the Garmin panel upgrade on our 182M. Vintage 182’s are great planes and so capable and fun to fly.

[ProPilotPete]

Love the newer Garmin avionics but your panel is sweet how original and pristine it is, classic is cool too!

[clintonhurst]

Ha. Wonderful!!! I’ve been enjoying the G1000 with a good auto pilot… Awesome stuff!! 😎Hope you’ll remember to look outside once in awhile! 😎👍✈️

[trogers]

Looking forward to the updates. I have a 1958 182B and am thinking about an upgrade

[mmccarth]

Missed your videos in the past few weeks. Got a glimpse of your new panel in some of the AirVenture videos before you posted this video. I'm not usually a big fan of old, vintage panels, but yours is so nice looking! Having said that, your new panel appears to be a great compromise between an original vintage look and feel, and the functional, modern avionics a glass panel can give you. It looks like you made great choices and I can't wait to see the final product.

Fun Flight Mindy...!! You're doing great!! My Dad is a F104 pilot & he teaches me on stuff!! He thinks you're doing a GREAT JOB on your planning and controls. My Dad always says have FUN and be safe on the little planes. JF

As an A&P Mechanic / Quality inspector. I can tell you you’re dealing with a good shop there. I can tell by their cleanliness and care of the parts removed from your acft. I see some longer flights out of Fl in yalls future now!

[cphrpunk]

That’s one damn fine lookin’ 182, excellent it’s gettin’ some new electron pushers to take you further and longer into your future.

So jealous.

[bradt]

Can't wait to see the final result Mindy - awesome!

[classicraceruk]

I agree the inside of the aircraft looked great. I bet you were so pleased, no hidden horrors. Can’t wait to see the upgrade…….

Good morning Mindy, I'm Edmir. " Eddie" just writing from Brasil, it just remind me when I was working at EMBRAER here in Brasil at the factory doing all the electronics, cableing and testing, and also when I worked for Island Marine Electric in Florida where I lived for 11 years, I'm missing so much USA.i love it. I'm doing my PP now, after stoped for twice.
