Hey, enjoy watching you work on the 182. I was a mechanic at depot at hill AFB in Utah. Worked on F4, OV10, A10, C130. Next time you have to get screws out like you did on the yoke, just drill the head off and remove the cover then use vise grips to remove the shank. Less chance of damage than drilling out the shank. But you done good. Thanks for sharing.
@Daybreak Aviation , Great series of videos. Just went through this last year on a 1959 182b. I fly out of KPYP, just a few miles from you. Would love to fly over and check out the progress some time. Those fuel leaks are a pain. We have one in the left bladder as well. 😒 Can't wait to see the progress in the next video.
THE INTERIOR LIGHT PROBLEM IS PROBABLY THE TREANSISTORS ON THE POWER PACK FOR THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS USUALLY LOCATED IN THE UPPER RIGHT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL CELL IS DONE. i WOULD TAKE A LOOK FOR RUST IN THE CYLINDERS AND LIFTERS AS AFTER ALL THAT TIME USUALLY THEY ARE RUSTED AND WILL NOT LAST LONG.
A 3D printer probably could make them small parts an save you a lot of extra money…..I think am going to have to invest in one of those machines to start making them parts so the community can stop paying so damm much.
All new interior plastic looks great

She outta be a good work horse when you’re done.
It's a shame that avionics are so ridiculously expensive. This would be a great airplane to do a panel makeover in.

Good project, but, Hoo Boy, I was waiting for that drill to push right into your stomach (but you wouldn't have put that on RUclips.)
This would be great if a avionics shop could donate you new updates
It would be great,
bladder is done ✅
Have you thought about 3d printing the plastic pieces?
I haven't thought about that. That would be a lot cheaper.
Some nice progress. Who did the paint job?
Not sure who did the paint, I would have to look through the logs. It was painted in 2008. I painted the interior my self.
You guys took out the old bladder and now it’s been replaced and now a fuel leak,,
In the next video Ill show you where it was leaking from. Its not the bladder.

3D printing would be a lot cheaper for sure. Airplane parts are so expensive.
‘Waist’ of time. Airplanes.
