Hands down the best aviation channel! Flying a plane that can realistically be attained. Professional editing. Thanks for helping grow GA.
Excellent. I flew the piper tomahawk when I took lessons. My mom flew. A lot has changed since then. This has been fascinating. Thank you for giving this insight. It is worth the effort for the final product. God bless you❤
I'm having a great time following this series of videos! I'm also so impressed after all these years of watching you, you would think that video quality might go down or be not what it used to, but every video seems to shock me with the production quality and how much better they get each time. Keep it up, Josh!
You're skills as a story creator, videographer, editor, and narrator just keep getting better and better. This was an extremely good product. What appears as your earnest honesty is a significant component of what makes this video great. Thanks for producing.
Phenomenal talent, cooperation & professionalism.
I can tell you why you should be doing the series, to show how capable a 182 can be. I am impressed at where you go and how quickly you get there with a basic plane. You are providing a road map for future pilots on how they can start with a reasonable plane, get places much faster than by car, see the world from above and then make the plane better and better with each new addition. You won’t go much faster or carry more stuff, but you will be safer and more comfortable now. Keep this up.
I really appreciate your candor about the sponsorship component and I think it’s awesome. A natural partnership that’s a win-win-win for everyone is fantastic and definitely well deserved!
I've never been nervous watching you land or take off until this video. That crosswind looked brutal. You did an amazing job!
I've been watching your channel for 3 years now, first video I ever found of yours was you doing touch and goes in 991. Which I have to say is the most beautiful Cessna I've ever seen. And I looked at more of your videos, and I knew that your channel would be a great way for me to learn more about aviation, and keep that knowledge for when I become a pilot. I'm excited for you because of how far you've come on your channel, your videos are made to a very professional extent, the narrating you put into your videos gives them a sense of excitement for not just all aviators, but I think for everyone who watches your videos. I'm also excited to see how N80991 will look when it's finished, because I'm a big lover for Cessnas, and I love how much passion you've put into the aircraft. I myself am currently in flight training, but I'm going to another flight school because of a recent move I made from my previous location. Biggest difference in both flight schools, is the one from my previous location was at an airfield with no ATC, and the one I'm going to now is part 61, but is at an airport with ATC. I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited at the same time. I'm also going to college to become an A&P mechanic so I can work on airplanes as a career, because I want a life completely based around aviation. Flying airplanes has been my passion since I was 10 years old, and I'm going to work hard to achieve my PPL, and my A&P license.
That’s fantastic!! Chase those dreams! 🙌🏼
@@Aviation101 I'll chase them for however long it takes! Thank you for inspiring me brother!
Great content Josh - as someone flying an RV10, it's an amazing aircraft. Our avionics are the older Dynon D100 and D120, and thinking about the upgrade to newer avionics is always on my mind. Really enjoying following along on your journey to a great new panel.
That experimental looked like a bit of a challenge to maintain stable low speed approach which you handled very calmly. Nicely done 👍
Your channel got me into aviation and helped me discover my passion.
Thank you Josh for all your hard work. I'm so happy about the upgrades N80991 is getting.
Can't wait for adventures like the Alaska series in the upgraded N80991. I bet on my life that they're gonna be epic.
Great content. Those boys know a thing or two about rewiring a panel lol. Good job on the RV7. After the third landing your instructor was hands off. I could tell you were a bit nervous with that first landing.
Thanks for part 3, now I can’t wait to see your new inside plane and you flying it.
It’s crazy for me to see the change that this aircraft is going through. As I’ve followed the series, I have started to understand more and more about all the fine details that go into maintaining and restoring aircraft. Thanks for all the details you have put into this series, I will definitely learn from them.
The best aviation channel on TH-cam. I like it even better when you have Chelsea on.
I like it! Nice. I helped a friend/coworker on a Van’s RV some on and off during his build. Lots of fun. That was some time ago. Gosh time does fly especially when you’re a pilot. 🙄
Love the progress Josh.. when I get current after my commitment to taking care of my dad who is 85..look forward to seeing you! I am a devout Mooniac appreciate your appreciation for doing it right and SAFE! Collin from Ballinger Texas!
The story telling is just next level! I can't believe how fascinating it is to watch the progress of upgrading a legacy Aircraft with the latest and greatest equip. Glad to be a long time sub and follow the journey of N80991! Really glad you're doing bigger and better things!
That's going to be a whole new aeroplane! Panel is stunning!
Fantastic content. Can you share your budget vs actuals? Love your channel and your thoroughness for details and safety. Thank you
✌👍 This was an awesome vlog. I am not a private pilot owner, but I learned a whole bunch from your videos. This was done with taste and and it gives the people who do the hard work behind the aircraft and equipment. Those unsung guy's and gals who build what we fly. When they opened up your panel and I saw all the stuff... lol WTF simply amazing we tend to forget just how complex things are that are hidden from sight. please keep the videos coming.
Awesome content Josh! The skill level, and attention to detail required to produce this quality content should not be overlooked.
This is so awesome Josh, I am excited to see the final on this project. I can only imagine how excited you must be.
Nice video, man!!! can't wait for the final video of this project. Clear skies.
Damn! Great to see behind the covers & interesting to see the suite in operation. Looking forward to the next episode Josh. Thanks!
I’ve been following Josh for years and really enjoyed the friendship and respect he shows towards everyone. This may be inappropriate question but is there a issue with his Dad he was such a huge part of the process and really seemed to enjoy flying.
Great video Josh. I love the color scheme for the vinyl wrap on that Vans RV7. That's really a sharp looking aircraft.
Great video, you will love the G3x touch. I have been flying with it in my RV for 2 years now, it is amazing. I was unaware that a controller was able to ask an experimental aircraft to hold short when landing. You clearly announced to the Tower that you were an experimental. I will have to re-visit that reg. Keep the great videos coming I enjoy each and every one. Enjoy the journey and keep exploring.
Love this series! Spruce Creek looks awesome! I'll have to check it out in Microsoft flight simulator!
Great aviation content, first class work on 991!! You'll be flying a dream!!!
Need to trade 991 for an RV10! Flying their RV is going to spoil you. 😄😊
It’s so cool to see someone that I adamantly watched and through that ultimately helped me during my flight training years ago, land at one of my training airports (KTIX)!
Love the vids Josh!!!
If you are intending to enter the world of flight,your video content is really important and relative. Thank you Josh.It not an easy road to travel.!
Looking great Josh. Can’t wait to see the final remod
WOW look that at beautiful Rv-7!!!🤩🤩🤩
Wow Josh what a transformation on 991 since I started following you the plane will be good to pass on in the family for years to come.
Looking forward to the next one. Safe travels.
Great work on your sky hawk. I did mine this past spring. they are a blast with the new panels.
If you're ever near KAND, stop by and we can compare our planes.
Hello Josh. I have been checking on your channel since last 3 day for any new contain on your new project, I just finished watching your today’s episode. As usual wonderful work. I am working on PPL slowly and steady @53 years of young..🤠
What a transformation this will be. Exciting days ahead.
Great series Josh! Thanks for what you do and taking us along on your journey.
Titusville! The one and only American airport I've ever flown out of. Highlight for sure, visiting NASA and taking my cousin for her first GA flight.
This is why A&P'S are awesome we strive to do a great job shout out to the GA guys i work on 737's and A320S
Really loving the new info overlays on screen (or whatever technical term they are called). Tastefullu done amd easy to read, great work Josh!
I used to put those in all the time and want to bring them back!
@@Aviation101 I found they really added value to this video and were easily visible. Mayyyybe leave them on screen a second or two longer but it's really well done. Have a great day, Josh!
Can’t wait for the Garmin glass avionics! Thanks for all the quality content josh.
Man that’s really awesome can’t wait to see the final in this awesome project 👌😍 wishing you all the best of luck 🤞
Excited to see you fly the final product.
Can't wait to see it done! Great video series Josh! I really enjoy your productions!
Brilliant, I’m looking forward to the end result and the first flight. 👍👍
Exceptional content! And congrats on a beautiful setup on your 172!
Josh, your posting a video including a quick visit to the Spruce Creek Airpark and residences coincides with my re-reading this past week the July 2004 edition of Smithsonian Air & Space magazine which included an artlcle regarding the airport, its makeup, the differences and peculiarities, the residents, the aircraft, and all the goings on. Too bad the Fokker tri-plane mentioned in the article wasn't available for a little formation flying.
A friend of mine accidentally told ATC her tail number was 991 after we binge watched this channel. 😂 This is the best aviation channel ever!! 💯
Nice cross wind landing . Great video as usual !
Great video . Miss Florida . Vero beach 🏖 my area to the south of you !! You see the RV 10 go down in Florida today ! Think just minor injuries tho !
Can't wait to see it all finished.
As always thank you for all the usable/useful information. Looking forward to the next episode.
Your planes looking beautiful. Now you've got some new toys lol. Those guys do awesome work. Great video thank you
Great Vid! Can't wait for the next. Wanna see the final product
Sweet music !! As always josh
Good job, my friends
This has been one of the best videos to follow along with. I had my v- tail 35 panel and avionics upgraded but didn’t get too watch the process after the panel layout. I did the same and had all new everything done. This has been thrilling to see just how much go’s into the work and how hard the technicians work to get it done. Excited for part 4 to see the final results, like getting a new plane your going to love that new plane smell.
Would it be to hard to list the type of flooring you went with? that looks like something I’d like to maybe do
I work for an airline, and we have that in our galley areas. It's called NTF (non textile flooring); ours is made by Gerflor. Only thing you have to watch for is bubbling over time.
Great video as usual. The quality of your videos is always impressive.
I'm glad you are getting all those upgrades. Our 172 has 2 VORs and an NDB. I still get there just as fast but my rate of climb may be worse because of the weight of $$ I have in my wallet. Our 182 has new iFR GPS avionics. I think I prefer going old school, though.
Good job Joey! I do the same thing but on Gulfstreams now.
@19:15 As a contractor myself you have that mostly correct. However, especially in today's environment of materials, labor, random parts shortages, inflation etc, you can only pick ONE of those three. NOT two! That was the good old days, those are long gone. The new normal is, if you want a GOOD job it's going to be NEITHER cheap or fast. Need to take your time, and buy quality components. If you want a fast job, it's not going to be good or cheap. Not as good, because you're only doing a 'fix' not a true 'repair'. A repair is something you hope will be at least relatively permanent. A Fix is something you do so you can get the plane (or any other equipment) somewhat safely to a proper place to repair. An example would be an emergency engine out landing on a grass field. It's not going to be cheap at all to get the plane out of that farmers field, and you might say, have to replace a fuel pump or whatever so you can take off, and get the plane to a proper facility for a more permanent repair. Emergency fixes do have their time and place, as long as you the aircraft (or any general equipment) owner do not let that fix be permanent. Get it done correctly asap, as time and money allow. The reason for a fast fix not being cheap, is it costs extra money to pull someone off of another project to come and 'rescue' you. Think of the price difference between taking an Uber to a hospital ER versus just calling 911 and getting EMS to get you there. Or a lifeflight if you really have to be transported to a level 3 trauma center asap via rotary wing A/C is not going to be cheap. A Cheap job will not be good or fast, because to get the lowest labor costs, you're going to have to wait for someone to work on your project in their spare time. Sort of like getting sidejob Bob to fix your A/C when he's finished with his dayjob working full time at an HVAC company, plus you're going to try to save money by using aftermarker, or decent used parts etc. Sometimes cheap can be good, but not all the time, YMMV applies here.
TL;DR version, Good, Cheap or Fast. You only get to pick one. And at least somewhat sacrifice the other two. The job they are doing here at DAS is 100% in the good category. Not cheap or fast, but it's done "right". And when you're life depends on those Garmin G3X's working properly, the last thing you want is some wiring mistake catching a harness on fire, and losing the entire panel just as you fly into IMC 🤣
The best aviation channel!
My god I’m soo excited to see this plane fly after it’s overhaul. Imagine the content after this so much more to see in terms of equipment
excellente vidéo de présentation la qualité Américaine est à l'honneur !
merci beaucoup pour cette petite sortie de l'aéroport de Daytona aéroport .
That was a sweet wrap on that RV
Great Video Josh!
Nice flying. Let me know if you’re ever west coast area. I’m in Havasu and San Diego and have an RV6A. Let’s go fly and boat 🤙🏼
i hope you headed to "the downwind" for lunch... and the doc there is great, he does all the medicals around here :D that panel looks awesome... i've really fell in love with the dynons that our schools sting S4 has. and it still surprises me.... all the wiring in a plane is white... i hated that when i used to help with the maint at my old school. trying to read those little numbers killed me.. but you're right... it's well worth the time and money to completely gut it and redo it all at least once. especially on the older planes like the cessnas etc
Howdy Josh, I have my GFC-500 at the bottom of the stack and have trouble seeing if the HDG Light is lit or not. I find myself leaning over to check it, or else wondering why the Autopilot isn't doing what I told it to do as both HDG and NAV lights can be on. So I see the NAV on, and leaning over, I can see the HDG on as well, explaining why the autopilot isn't doing the right thing.
As I redo my panel, I am moving the GFC-500 to the top. BTW, I fly out of Georgetown, TX in a T210L
Josh,
Great video!
Rik
Ah man, that’s so sweet!!!
And I fly a G1000 and I’m jealous.
😂😂😂 Forgot about ye olde 6 pack already, huh?
@@eugeneweaver3199 ha, ha, ha…..
amazing as always
No more Aviation101 signature pilot counting for flap deployment I guess. Sad day :)
And you now have an autopilot to help with workload allowing time to enjoy and appreciate life in the cockpit even more. Hell of an upgrade. Once done it will be great to see you covering the new instrument workflow and techniques that come with owning a fancy-pants glass cockpit.
I miss not having a new adventure every couple of days. Keep up the good reporting and flying. Sign me “single engine land”.
For a cfii you seemed to be crushing the joy stick, white knuckles.
Soft hands.
Good work,awesome!
Great content Josh!
My father used to tell me "Buy the best and cry only once" Top quality products and workmanship are not cheap so you cry at the price but that's it. Buy shoddy products/workmanship and you cry paying for them then cry again when it fails. It was great to see skilled professionals doing such very nice work in this video.
Totally agree. Buy once, cry once!
love this channel and the content you are putting out. keep it up!
I really enjoy and learn a lot by watching your videos. I have trouble understanding the radio communication. The level of your understanding - of what you expect - is inspiring. Is there any chance that you would consider making subtitles for the radio coms?
I’ve been waiting on this video!
Josh the dual electronic ignition is neat but If it were me, I would leave one magneto driven ignition system in place. Total electrical failure and then NO ELECTRONIC IGNITION.
Really enjoying this.
“Fantastic Work”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks so much!
Totally awesome! 👏👏👏👍🎉
That's gona be the Best looking "76" SkyHawk around...
I guarantee your radios will work 1000% better. Just one badly shielded wire or shaky ground somewhere means you have squelch up too high to damp down the noise, which often means you might not receive weaker radio signals. Trent Palmer retired his KitFox, and the persistent RPM-specific engine noise in his intercoms and radios was completely gone. Electronics and computers seem to like “quiet” in terms of wiring and connections.
Good stuff.
Hey Josh are we able to swing by their hangar there to check out 991?
Not sure if Peter built that RV, but he was sure guarding the controls as if he did.
He’s just being a good CFI! I’d guard the controls, too, if it were somebody’s first time landing a certain type of aircraft.
A wonderful saying I tell my engineers.. do it nice never twice. Take the time to fit everything correctly the first time as this may take longer but at least you don’t waste time by having to comeback again again to fix what should of been don’t the first time round
You do a good job pal! Above average
I know your putting in a new engine, really hoping it’s a 180hp. Great content I’m always looking out for new videos.
He’s re-configuring for a turbo-fan high bypass instead of a pokey piston engine
Great job Josh. Anyway to meet and greet at AirVenture?
J??? 👍🏻👍🏻 A+!!! 😎😎😎
That’s going to be a great panel- I think a lot of safety margin with an AP- but I wonder if you thought you should have put that panel in an RV14 instead?
Looks like you will no longer need a vacuum system. Do they remove it to save weight?
