1 Year Later - Finally Flying C-FMVU Home! Total Cessna 172B Refurb with Glass Panel

1 Year Later - Finally Flying C-FMVU Home!
One year after finding this abandoned Cessna 172B locked away in a hangar - airplane hangar find, airplane barn find. It's been a year of hard work rebuilding our Cessna 172B, and it's finally time to fly C-FMVU to it's new home at Oshawa Airport (CYOO).
Over the last year we've done extensive work and testing:
- Stripped the paint and interior.
- Partially polished the airplane, and painted a stripe.
- Pulled the entire electrical system and re-wired it.
- Replaced all of the lights with LEDs and LED strobes.
- Pulled the vacuum system and replaced the entire panel with a Dynon Skyview glass panel
- Added a Sportsman STOL kit
- Added Micro VG's
- Added WingX wing extensions

But there is still a lot of work to do...

Great videos, my friend. Thank you for all of your time involved in filming, editing, etc.

You didn't fubar your plane and you walked away. Good landing.

One possible work around with the busy airport is a baked goods delivery to the tower before departure. Decorate them with your tail number and with in a month or so you will be arriving and departing like you own the place. 😂

Awesome.
My wife just recognized your voice as "the cooking guy you watch? And he's flying a plane?!".
Yes, yes he is that kind a guy.

[JamesPotts]

Your editing (keeping the ground stable) really shows how a small aircraft is buffeted. Congratulations on bringing the plane home!

[AllenPortman]

I know this is an older video posting but I have to say you did a great respected job on the restoration of your baby!!!

[JCrook]

Welcome home C-FMVU! Oh, you too Glen! :)

Congratulations on getting the airplane (mostly) completed, one year is very good under normal circumstances, during 2021-2022 is flat out amazing. Love your upgrades to technology from this century!

Ram horn yokes will be a must for us.
Totally love your panel!
Thanks for the videos!!

[krispollard]

Just recently discoved Glen's Hanger. Been watching you cook for a while. I jump around on the videos. All very interesting. Thanks for sharing your passion.

[JohnSuave]

I had NO idea you were commuting that long to work on the plane Glen. I'm losing my mind from a 1.5 hour commute and you've been traveling 5 hours to work on this while still running the main channel...? You're a legend.

You’ve done a great job on MVU. Beautiful plane.

[kmillman]

love landing at 30 (always hated landing 23), I'll keep an eye out for you now since you'll be doing many approaches over my house :)

[DavidinEssexUK]

That landing didn’t look gludgy on camera. Congrats the plane is looking great.

[Flurgh]

So exciting! Congrats on bringing MVU home

Once polished up, look at a clear ceramic coating to help keep it clean and bright. These ceramics are used on stainless camper vans.

Not a pilot. Enjoy flying. (Commercial) Had a friend who owned a Cessna. I thought the landing wasn’t clunky. Really have enjoyed tagging along. Wishing you tons of enjoyment. Stay Safe
