      Can’t wait to see the progress/journey & videos! I have a Sonex I’m almost done building and most of an RV-9 kit in storage. If you want to fly sooner rather than later, you’ve made the right choice. :-)
      Now you just have to survive the onslaught of people who are going to tell you not to fly a 172 off anything but pavement due to the nose gear/firewall strength. 😝

    Save up for a STOL kit Glen!!! You’ll get off of a sandbar in no time, and the kits are usually pretty cheap. I’m sure you’ll find a AME-S willing to work for dry aged beef and beer too 😂 I went to school originally for it and can vouch that they aren’t too involved of a project, something you could enjoy learning and lending a hand on.
    Also worth saying, from a couple in our 20s, my partner and I appreciate that you and Julie share so many of your journeys and hobbies on RUclips. We have a really similar set of interests (wanting a northern Canada adventure plane, keg BBQs, and all) and can’t help but look up to you guys as role models. Neither of us have anyone in our lives to look up to in that regard, so the effort of making these videos definitely doesn’t go unappreciated. Thanks for showing us it’s possible, and that it’s something to have fun working towards 😊 Cheers!

    My first plane was a 1958 Cessna Skylane, purchased in 1962. I converted the fuselage into a ski carrier and used it to ferry myself and friends from Long Island to Vermont every weekend I could for skiing of course. In 1965, I bought the first of my seven Mooney's and used each of them for business and pleasure. I even had one of them flown to Belgium where I met up with it and then flew all over Europe for a fabulous vacation. There's nothing like flying your own plane. You'll love it.

I hope you plan to fly to Oshkosh some year in the not to distant future . Looking forward to meeting you there if so.

      @@GlensHangar It looks like he was getting his instrument endorsement in the summer of 1963 when he was flying MVU. I haven't seen any photos of it but I will keep my eyes open for some. Sadly, he kept very few photos from his youth. I won't have an opportunity to look again for a little while. Enjoy that little baby! I bet she's fun to fly!! One flight has the notation "comm dead". I bet that was fun at night.... He had a very bad stutter so not having a radio might have been a relief.

    I've been in a full glass panel 172. As impressive as it was I love the simplicity your's has. The interior also. I'm not a pilot and I'm not knowledgeable about much. I do come from a family with a huge a aviation background. I've been fascinated with airplanes for almost half a century. Particularly the Pietenpol. I discovered the 172 a few years ago and got hooked on the idea of having one. I've decided it's time to make things happen. It's not going to be fast but I've got to start somewhere and research seems where to. Love the channel and the content, thanks for sharing. You're filling a serious gap in information on RUclips.

    Just floored me on that price! I've had a passing interest and small knowledge of planes like this for a while... I live in interior Alaska, its part of the culture, more or less depending on how many pilots you know or what your hobbies are... I digress... My best guess(without looking at anything on the internet) was its a ~$60K plane.. in USD. I was thinking $60k reasonable, and you were gonna say around $40k for a steal..
    WOW.
    I ever find a flyable 172B for $16k and I'm liable to sell everything I have to, to get it... Hell, even for an Unflyable(complete) plane.
    From everything we can see here, it is a seriously Solid craft, Extremely good find regaurdless of the price, thats just a HUGE bonus!
    Congratulations Glen!
    Looking forward to following this project. :)

  • @torjones1701

    Cheapest 172 I found on Trade-A-Plane was $35k and needed a little TLC, but at least had ADS-B Out.
    Cheapest 182 I found was $74.5k, but had 2000 hours on the airframe, a slick paint job, but most importantly, no ADS-B.
    I did see a Cessna t-50 from 1943 for only $10k. Certainly needed some work, certainly needs updated avionics and ADS-B, but Holy crimeny... For a pre-war warbird (technically...) that's pretty awesome! If I had the money for a plane at all... I'd be all over that!

    Hi Glen just started watching your vlog and as an owner of a 172M, I'm looking forward to watching your progress. If I may throw in my two cents, I think you might have grossly under estimated your upgrading costs. Unless you have an A&P who is doing the work for free(or very cheaply), you are doing the work and he'll sign it off, I think you'll find things are going to be much more expensive than you predicted. You mentioned a glass cockpit, new interior, not to mention any unforeseen repairs, I think you might be surprised. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but just giving you another OPINION. Good luck on your project. PS. I looked into an 036 to replace my current 032, and I'm sure your looking at somewhere in the 35k plus neighborhood.

    • @GlensHangar
      @GlensHangar  3 года назад

      You make some good points - but I've got it covered. We did an extensive pre-buy inspection and plotted out what was needed now, what was needed in a 2 year time frame and what would be great upgrades if the budget allowed. From that we've plotted out what I can do myself, what I can do myself under supervision, and what Chris (my AME) has to do. Since Chris is a longtime family friend who is probably more excited than me at the prospect of doing some of these upgrades, he's on board at a great rate. I just have to work my schedule around his, which is why some stuff will be done 'out of order' or 'in the wrong order' to those who do this for a living
      The engine upgrade is a 70K+ that will wait a few years to happen... probably never happening, which is fine because the engine is low hours and checks out fine. But the glass cockpit will happen, and again I've worked out a great deal with a supplier that will surprisingly get it into the plane within the budget.
      I'll be doing a lot of grunt work myself, really getting my hands dirty and learning a lot about this plane.

    honestly can't wait for this series.. thanks Glen for providing this content and I'm excited for plane info and to see the oncoming adventures

    I'm very impressed Glen. Unless there is a serious problem, you would be a fool to walk away. For the short field stuff, you may want to look at getting micro vortex generators installed.

    My used to have a Cessna 182RG, former state police plane. I do miss that plane. I still have the aviation bug from that plane, just not the aviation money. Someday I will hopefully be able to get a plane.

    This channel is going to make me a bit homesick for flying having grown up with a Cessna.

    Glen this is absolutely my dream. Thank you for the inspiration!

    A dual Garmin G5 paired with a GTN 750 and ADS-B compliant XPDR would clean that panel up nicely. The O-300 will be nice and smooth!
    I've wrenched on a bunch of similar birds. Looks like you snagged a decent project!

    Of COURSE you’re a pilot. Absolutely astounding my friend. I’ll hopefully be a pilot one day in the future as well. Gotta save up the money for flight school and all that.

    So excited for this channel! I'm a 31 year old with dreams of being a pilot. Maybe this will help give me the push to just go ahead and chase my dreams. Congrats Glen and Julie! What a great adventure this will be :)

    Hi Glen, Love the format of this video series! I'm a 51 year old newbie and am planning on getting my PPL in the new year (I'm already a paramotor pilot). Loved that you shared the inspection part. Keep it up and looking forward to the new videos in November.

    I once was half owner of a Piper PA28. My advice to you is to take the absolute worst estimate of cost of ownership... and multiply by 10! Every time mechanics looked at the plane they found at least $5K of stuff that needed to be fixed. Often a lot more.

  • @OtusAsio

    I saw that video about you and an aiplane (used to see you in cooking)...so I subscribe... as I am a former civilian S&R (Search and Rescue) in Quebec... we made S&R with 172 very often as they are reliable and easy to maintain.

    This just popped up as a suggested video for me. I was a little surprised as I don't watch aviation videos normally. Then I spotted the channel name - I'm here from your cooking channel and I'm subscribing. This sounds like a great project and I wish you well.

    Subscribed! I'm so happy to discover another aviation project to follow, and from a friendly Canuck to boot. Maybe you'll make it down to OSH in 2022? Folks who follow you like me can seek you out to say hi (along with Steve from FlightChops)!
    Oh, and Glen - I almost forgot to mention that my dad owned a 1955 C180 for years that he had stripped down to bare polished metal. I have right seat time and some photos too. Just beware that it is very labor-intensive to go that route, not just to get it down to bare aluminum, but to keep it clean and shiny.

    Oh man! I am so excited for you! I did not know that you’re a pilot! Very cool.
    I look forward to seeing this come together. Hope you make a few videos as well once you and Jules are up and flying. I’d love to see Northern Ontario and the rest of the adventures from the sky!
    Plus the boots on the ground perspective. Good campfire cooking. Fishing maybe.
    Either way, this is very cool and fun. 😀
