Just a little note, when you prime it, pull the plunger slowly to fill it with fuel. You can tell there's fuel in it because it will resist quite a bit. And on flying the GO-300, make power changes slowly, very slowly. Don't just chop the power.
I own a Cessna 175C with a 175 hp Continental GO-300E engine and variable pitch propeller and there are two distict characterists of this aeroplane. First it has a hump on the top of the cowling to accomodate the gear box and second the engine speed indicator will show 3,200 rpm on take off (not 2,600 rpm as on your video). The aeroplane in your video shows neither as I suspect it has been re-engined. However the Cessna 175 is a delightful aircraft to fly.
Mine came with a 206 nose wheel, a Roberson stole kit and flap gap seals. You couldn't stall it. Give it full power and haul the nose up as far as it could go and it wouldn't . stall. Mine came with two props. The seaplane prop cruised at 110 MPH The cruise prop cruised at 120 MPH. After shearing the nose whell off I had to modify the sea plane prop. The tips were bent past 90 degrees and one had a crack. I cut two inches off with a hacksaw and bent each blade the same with a hammer. After balancing it with Mercury outboard parts I could touch a blade with a little spray paint and it would be way heavy. I pained the other blade and it balanced perfectly. I put it on the plane and it cruised ad 128 MPH with no vibration. It was perfect! I used to take the seats out and transport 100 salmon weighing over 1000 pounds in Rubermaid garbage cans. hankkroll.com and henrykroll.com

Where did this guy learn how to start a Cessna? I'm a 172 pilot. Never did the crazy stuff he did.
Think that primer is just fucked couldn't pull the one on the o-300 that fast even if you wanted to

Absolutely it was killed because Ppl didn't know how to operate! Just like ANY geared PP
Beautiful old airplane. Very unique and different.
Es macht Spaß das Video anzuschauen! Sehr schönes Video, wie immer ;)
Super Video, von einem vollkommen unterschätztem Flugzeug.
Die 175 ist mit der FG Cardinal für mich die interessanteste 4 Plätze Cessna.
Warum jemand einen Daumen nach unten gegeben hat, ist mir ein Rätsel! Klasse Video - mehr davon :)))
The sound reminds me of the american 2-stroke diesel trucks (look for 12V71 on youtube :) )
3:42 hand on throttle from turn to final to T/D never saw him drop flaps.
You are the only person I have ever heard say “chessna”
he didnt get any fuel in that primer the way he did it
Proof, that a 175 will in fact start :p
It’s Zezzna
Never heard of the Cesspool 175 before.
Says nuh
...er, "Chessna"-?
If you are going to do videos in English, then call it a Cessna, not a "Chessna." I don't know why Germans do that.
