Here for Airplanes, Coffee, Camping, hiking, Mountain Biking and occasionally some fun.... This channel is here to share my love of the outdoors and aviation with family friends and anyone else who wants to follow along on the occasional adventure. I'm mostly posting short videos and pictures on IG: Humunajumina (link in profile).
Installing Micro VG's on my Cessna 170B
Before I bought the Stoots IO-370 engine, and Hartzell Trailblazer Prop for my 1954 Cessna 170B, I had purchased Micro Dynamics VG kit. It took me two years, but low and behold, I finally installed the VG kit on the wings of my 170. I have already installed the Sportsman STOL Kit, so now adding the Micro VGs should increase aileron controllability even more. This video is not an installation help video, or even a technique video, it is just me documenting the process of installing the VGs on my airplane. I did a limited amount of Stall testing after the install, but this is also not a performance and capabilities video. Hope you enjoy

This is just a quick hop in my 1954 Cessna 170B to a local friends farm.

Flying to Cheat River Spring Fly-in (56WV) in West Viginia. We packed up the tent, cooler, dog, and fishing rods, and headed to Cheat River for a fun weekend. The weather delayed us by a day, but we were able to fly my 1954 Cessna 170B to West Virginia's best remote grass runway, for a fun weekend of camping.

After several bad weather days and a long time spent working on the plane, I am finally able to go on a quick hop around the local area. Still working out some bugs and getting everything the way I want it. Flying around the WV mountains in my 1954 Cessna 170B after installing some new avionics and a Garmin GNX 375.

Avionics Upgrade 2.0
มุมมอง 1.7K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today I am going to start tearing out my old avionics to start preparing for a full avionics upgrade. My 1954 Cessna 170B has always been neglected in the Avionics department, and now its time to make a few upgrades. I plan to install a full IFR panel in my plane to include ADS-B in/Out, LOC/GS, GPS, and two comm radios. Check out the new upgrades and plan to follow along. Music by Mark Generou...
2023 End of Year Review
มุมมอง 4.2Kปีที่แล้ว
Another year has come to a close so we are looking back at all the fun we've had and all of the great people we've met a long the way. We flew all over the country and put some hours on the new engine and prop. We finally linked up with Dave Stoots at a Fly-In and talked about his IO-370 engine STC among other things... We got a puppy!! Also, I popped the big question and Shannon said Yes! For ...
Flying to Beaver Creek Maine

We finally made it! Join us on a fun trip to Beaver Creek Maine in my Cessna 170B. We have been waiting a while to book our visit on AirBnB, and the time has finally come. We flew up in 2 planes to enjoy the Thanksgiving Holliday in a private off-grid Cabin in Maine. The grass runway definitely gives this place a backcountry bush pilot feel to a remote cabin in the woods. We put the new Alaskan...

Hope to see you this weekend
Unfortunately my weekends are too busy right now! I really want to be there trust me, enjoy it for me!
Who made this new beautiful engine cowl ?
Dave Stoots sends the nose bowl with his STC kit, you’d have to ask him who builds it. But I assembled it, and it took some time to get it right 😂🤣😂
Just found your channel. On my second video and enjoying it. Is that a 660 in your panel? Nice panel setup btw. Thanks
Hey thank you. It’s actually a iPad mini with foreflight & the Guardian mount. It does still wirelessly link to the GNX375 for ads-b and sending flight plans.
Check West Yellowstone I worked at the FBO every summer when not teaching HS, it's a great location for exploring. Free pilots' campground and car. Restaurant at the terminal, Bears in the woods.
Thanks! We parked the plane on the ramp there for 4 days while we got a rental and went into the park & drove up to big sky to visit family. Great airport and hospitality, definitely will remember the campsite!
Good Stuff Yup
Thank you! Hoping this year is just as good!
excellent plane, excellent places, excellent passenger I would fly this airline again
Thank you! Please do! 😂❤❤
Great video. I'm considering micro VGs for the 140 as it's the only real wing mod that can be done.
Thanks, I say go for it! Definitely an improvement in control for sure, if you get them at Sun n Fun they give a discount, plus an additional fly-in discount. Might be worth waiting until the spring.
VG's are top on my list when I finally get my C150 painted.
I think they’re great, definitely worth it!
Great podcast!
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it!
ខ្ញុំចូចិត្តបង❤

What kind of dog is Charlie?
He’s a Red Fox Lab, we got him as a puppy through Lab Rescue!!!! Also he’s 100% water dog 😂🤣
Charlie the “Water Dog” ❤❤
Haha! Yes exactly! We can’t keep him away!
You dropped onto the farm to say"hay".😀😀😀
Haha! Exactly!
Them cows wanna take a ride in the plane!
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it
Drawbacks of being tall. I’ve smacked my head on the flaps a bunch of times. I even have a scar now.
Haha right?! Never hurts any less….i even still hit it with the 29’s on 🙄
the coveted "flap scar". worn by seasoned pilots everywhere
This video is so good for general aviation. This is the dream.
Thank you! We love flying being able to fly, camp, and take the dog with us all on one trip!
Lots of good Charlie footage!
He’s always having a great time!
This is great stuff, so glad I found your page. Beautiful plane and you take the good boy with you. Keep up the the great work sir, you are winning at life.
Will Do! Thank you, definitely a good day when you can load the pup up & fly somewhere fun!
I loved the video mate! Here in Portugal unfortunately we still don't have this flyin culture (not as many planes as you do in the States lol) so it's great to see you enjoying it! Charlie is the goodest boy
Thank you! Yes he is!
*Scalper* flaps..! 🙄
Haha! Every now and then they remind you, that they are there!!!!
I loved the wisdom of not posting the wife weight.😀
😂😂 oh you noticed?! 😂
Didn't make it again this year, but I hope to get the next one!
Hoping the weather is better next time, makes it easier to get to, that’s for sure!
Love the videos and looking forward to doing some more flamping myself. Keep 'em coming!!
Yes! Do it! I love flaming!
Delightful. We have a 180, totally resonated with the cross country planning algorithm: does the stop have fuel? Does it have grass?
Yes exactly! That’s definitely my cross country planning!
Que som maravilhoso, meu Deus
That looks great!
Thank you!
Good for you!! 😎👍🏼
Thanks, it was a fun trip!
Nice landcruiser
Thanks! Yes I love my Landcruiser, just put some rear wheel bearings & seals in, ready for summer cruising!
Looked like a cool trip. I’d love to see a review of your lightweight gear for airplane camping
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind, that would be a cool video, I have definitely refined the gear over the years, and it really helped out this summer in Montana!
She's yummy, can I be Shannon's gynecologist?
Small world. Met you at ACME Aero flyin last year ( or the year before? ) and was at SunNFun this year. I was at the ultralight field ( mid-field ) when you took off to fly home. I looked over my shoulder and saw this beautiful Grey/Black/White C170 launching and smiled to myself... hey, I know that guy. Thanks for sharing Kevin.
No way, that’s awesome! Yea the ACME fly-in was fun, hoping to get back to that!
Enjoyed the adventure. Perfect length video. I tend to skip short videos.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Great job! Congrats on a Sweet 170😎👍🏼
Thanks! Yes it’s definitely the plane I wanted, all the hard work is paying off.
Very nice.. happy landings!
Thanks! You too!
great video . keep up the great work
Thank you!
I live next to RDU. Nice flight! I grew up in Harnett County. Didn't know they had such a nice FBO. Will check it out on Sunday after church
Yea, that’s not far for you at all. It’s really nice, you definitely should!
Great Video, and never too long when planes are involved
Thanks! You got that right 🙌🏻
nice show; don't ask me how I know. 😉
Haha!!! It was awesome!!!! I was torn between watching or filming.
I think it had a STOL cuff also but could not see for sure...
Liked the video! I could see VG's, drooped wingtips, big tires... What else have you done? Looks great! 👍👍👍
Yes it has the sportsman stol kit & the Stoots IO-370 STC w/ 83” C/S prop.
@@KevinRudisill Wow! Great Stuff! All the best to you and yours!
Thank you! It’s such a good plane for my type of flying!
What sort of upgrades do you have? I can see some of them.
Sorry, did not realize you answered that question above.
Nice looking plane. My dream plane...
Love This.Iam 81 and soon to be 82 . I FLEW all over Idaho and Alaska back county I was blessed to have a 180 -185 and later a cub . We had a cabin at big creek . Only one accident at the waren strip in the snow just had to change our pants . I loved flying. Thank you JESUS. Stay safe
I've purchased way too many planes in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and the 170B is my favorite. 😅
Nice landings and good job managing your passenger's concerns. She seemed well informed of the risks involved and you respectfully addressed them.
Loved the video. May I ask where you are in video?
It’s high rock Airstrip in Maryland.
I love seeing this and the love for such a beautiful dog: happy birthday to your dog Charlie Kevin!! Fly safe in my favorite aircraft
