Full Flight From Wing - No Talking Only Engine And Wind - CNV8 to CYOO

[@GlensHangar]

Thanks for watching Everyone! July was a really busy month for us - we were away from home the entire month, and that slowed down my filming / editing for the next few weeks. I thought I'd just give you a taste of an unedited flight from the perspective of the wing between Edenvale, where I did all of the work on C-FMVU and our new hangar at Oshawa a much busier airport close to Toronto.

[@dman5179]

I had a feeling you'd be working out of Edenvale. Thumbs up!

[@RonOhio]

Great way to relax while I ate my lunch. So nice to see a flying video with no drama, no hype, no hysterics, just good competent flying.

[@Geeman002]

I love this video. Thanks for creating it and sharing. I was a pilot but stopped in 2003. I owned a Cessna 150f which I loved. I miss flying and this video is just beautiful and gives me so much pleasure remembering my flying days.

[@ScotiaGaidin]

Thanks for posting this video. I followed along easily in Flight Sim with the 172. Nice little trip and a great journey you've been on with the plane.

[@flyer182]

Canada is so beautiful!

[@gordthompson4664]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I recognized the wiggly bit of the 400 at Barrie, and before I know it you're landing at an airport on good old Taunton Road. That was our "secret" escape route out of the GTA avoiding the summer weekend madness on the 401. So many years ago…

[@nationalist4099]

Cool video, Glen. Something nice to watch in the background.

[@GoukiLoki]

Awesome to see. And to be honest, this was lovely ASMR to hear after a long day after work driving a interstate bus. Thanks, Glen! Best of luck!

[@GuardedDragon]

Thanks for the relaxing moments. It’s pretty out there! I have my first cross country dual coming up and hopefully it’s just as uneventful!

[@GlensHangar]

Best of luck!

[@sip4751]

Hey Glen, glad to run into you this morning at the airport. Hope your flight was good.

[@GlensHangar]

Yes it was!

[@randellino]

Nice Saturday drop. That's insane that you can just go fly whenever you want to now.

[@GlensHangar]

It really is! I know that I'm very fortunate to have this privilege.

[@richardpointer]

Will you do the same flight video but when it has snowed?

[@GlensHangar]

Yes definitely.

[@stephendoherty1275]

Beautiful day, great landing.

[@kbjerke]

Thanks for the flight, Glen!!

[@VA3JPX]

Nice smooth landing. Love the take off. The modifications you made are clearly working. :)

[@gordthompson4664]

Plus, you were able to touch down and catch the first exit ("taxiway"? - sorry, I'm not a pilot). How slow can you go when landing?

[@beverlychmelik5504]

I always liked the lower vibration and smoother sound from the O300 VS the O320 or O-360

[@JohnKenIRB233]

Great video, nice flight. I look forward to winter/snow version. I also would have liked single instrument panel shots, so we can see airspeed, altitude, etc with new mods!

[@tomdreid]

This is great. I’m aware it’s likely to add exponentially more work, but it would be great to have radio overlayed on the sound. Would make for very engaging content. Keep it up, very much enjoying everything you do on the KZbins.

[@GlensHangar]

Yeah the radio recorder cut out after leaving Edenvale - still working on figuring out the challenges of filming with multiple GoPro and audio recorders.

[@JoshuaNyhus]

I'm just happy to see her flying. Was a great restoration to watch.

[@Sluf7]

Plane looks great Nice placement of Hangar be well warmed up by the time ya hit the Runway. Carry on.

[@GlensHangar]

The airport where we did the work is pretty sleepy, but the airport where the plane now lives is super busy. Last flight I lined up behind 10 other planes waiting for takeoff.

[@thisisdarren7572]

Thanks for the ride Glen

[@beverlygarner7996]

Nice landing!

[@billshepherd4331]

Nice to seeing you two flying!

[@richardgreen6857]

Great video...recognized a lot of landmarks. It's great having your airplane closer to home (presumably) but I'm betting you'll miss the slower pace at Edenvale! Let me know if you're popping over to CYSN, love to see the aircraft in person!

[@GlensHangar]

Very true! Edenvale was a great slow pace airport - Oshawa is pretty busy, but ATC keeps things moving pretty smoothly.

[@GaryMCurran]

I don't have the time to sit here and watch all of this right now. I thought you might have been busy, since I didn't see anything. I will watch this eventually, but I am looking forward to the debrief of the flight and your commentary on the wing extensions, VGs and the cuff. I am especially interested in your 'normal' landing speeds with all of that, since I get the feeling if you're flying at the published approach and landing speeds you're going to be floating way down the runway.

[@reofuentes9107]

gREASED THE LADING

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day from Sydney Australia, Glen. Your plane is "singing like a bird" in that I mean the engine is running smoothly. You have a GoPro clamped to the strut or a plate under the wing? Anyways, nice green fields (LZ) structures and roadway (LZ). Blue skies, have fun and eyes on cheap gas! 🌏🇦🇺

[@GlensHangar]

The GoPro is mounted to one of the inspection plates with a larger battery inside the wing. Cheap gas... that's almost a thing of the past. Though prices have peaked and appear to be dropping ever so slightly.

[@t-housetv7580]

VERY COOL

[@KENNEY1023]

Great video, thanks for sharing the views we're amazing. How did the plane handle with all the modifications?

[@GlensHangar]

The plane is handling great with the mods - took a bit of 'retraining' to get used to the new flight characteristics, but now that I've figured it out; I'm very happy.

[@AndreQuirion]

I always wondered own people mount gopro (or similar) on planes. Is it screwed to one of those access plate or the suction cup is good enough? Never the less, nice video!

[@GlensHangar]

It is securely bolted to one of the inspection plates - I know that a couple other aviation channels use the suction mounts or the double sided sticky mounts that come with the GoPro... but if you search YT you'll see that a few of them have also lost cameras mid flight.

[@tehpanda64]

Didn't realize how little runway is needed to take off! by my estimation it was well under 1000 feet when the wheels left the ground

[@GlensHangar]

It will get off the runway with even less - I've been testing it, but I didn't want to push it too hard in this video.

[@jimlockwood4531]

Hi Glen I have a 1966 172 G floats plane considering the wing X mod I was wondering how much of a difference it made in shortening your take off and climb performance

[@GlensHangar]

Climb performance increased greatly - It's been hot and humid here since doing the mod (30ºC++) but I'm now getting 1200-1500 fpm on climb with the 145hp O-300. I haven't done exact takeoff / landing roll numbers yet, but my feeling is it cut them by 40-50% - and the stall speed at 40º flaps is in the 35-38 mph range, so if you wanted you could really bring it in slow and stop it on a dime.

[@jimlockwood4531]

@@GlensHangar FYI I had that engine and upgraded to Lycoming 0320 E2D with the ram STC rating the engine @ 160 hp then I added the power flow exhaust which turned the aircraft into a real performing float plane fuel burn 6.5 gal per hour approx 45 lbs lighter than the old firewall forward and a lot cheaper than the 180 hp lycoming stc burning 10 plus gal per hour.something to think about for future upgrades .

[@GlensHangar]

@@jimlockwood4531 I'm definitely leaning that way - the O320 with the STC, but the current engine only has 300 hours on it right now so I'm waiting to read the oil analysis trend from the first few oil changes. The upgrade may be a year or two away. It would make this plane a beast, I could push the Max Gross weight much higher because of the WingX STC and I'd end up with better performance and a useable load over 1300 pounds.

[@jimlockwood4531]

@@GlensHangar sold my firewall forward with 1200 hrs first run for $8500. 00 USD over 14 years ago they are in demand however so are the 032 lycoming engines. If you ever need any info on the stc just reach out to me would be glad to help. I’m based in Sudbury Ontario

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

@@jimlockwood4531 Thanks! maybe I'll see you at a fly in somewhere -

[@thechocolategourmand]

Is the camera movement mostly wing flex?

[@GlensHangar]

Wind buffeting - and a heavy dose of GoPro horizon levelling, which I'll turn off.

[@capnredable]

@@GlensHangar I really liked it! I could almost feel the movement of the plane. Takes me back to flying light aircraft rather than 737+ immunity to the little gusts.

[@maxxq]

23:07, is that an oil slick on the water between the pitot tube and the fuselage? Or is that a sandbar? Interesting! Great video Glen!

[@saleemparvez7152]

Just a suggestion. If workable please add speed and height readings. Would make it more interesting.

[@tomdchi12]

I'll readily admit that I skipped ahead a bunch, but still an enjoyable, totally welcome video. (I was also thinking that radio calls would have been nice, and I see your comment about the audio recorder flaking out. Oh well. Still, thanks for sharing the flight!)

[@JT-py9lv]

How does she perform with the extensions and vortex generators ?

[@bobninemire5154]

.......Yeah .....We want to know....We want to see stalls and slow flight. With view of AS indicator

[@GlensHangar]

Those videos are coming - I needed a summer holiday away from cameras, editing and posting.

[@gme5802]

Hey, YT and their wonderful logarithms has stopped feeding this channel to my feed. They also unsubscribed me previously. Don’t know if you can or want to do anything but I thought I’d give you a heads up.

[@JoshuaNyhus]

Have you ever thought about flying into Oshkosh someday?

[@GlensHangar]

We'll probably go to Osh in 2023.

[@teddysmith457]

This is weird. It seems like you’re going really super slow don’t seem like you’re going very fast at all but it’s really cool thank you for sharing

[@minuteman4199]

If you'd landed in Oshawa from the other direction, you'd have flown right over my house.

[@JoshuaNyhus]

Maan I love mag checks in tha morning.

[@tammyfetzner5792]

Now you just need to work on your inflight meals for a whole new channel! :)

[@DavidCollinsRivera]

Actually, this is a great idea! A series of videos about to-go lunches; great meals you can eat in the air, or even on the ground.

[@kbjerke]

@@DavidCollinsRivera Yeah - the $100 hamburger from years past is now a $500 hamburger! 😆
