. See all the equipment we put on the airplane, and inquire about your own project! newviewtech.com/aoa/ The panel project for our Cessna 172 is coming to a close, with all the avionics and tests being completed. It’s been a fun process so far, flying all the way from Alaska to Wisconsin in a bold and big plan to get the panel and these avionics upgraded to IFR.
After a lot of previous work in designing the new Cessna 172 avionics and panel, the last bits are coming together. Not only do we put in all the new instruments, but we have to do other tests before everything can be wrapped up. We need to get this thing flying!
Last time we showed you the leather wrapped yokes, the single piece CNC cut instrument panel, newly restored paint, and more.
This time we still have a lot of work to do. We’ll be following schematics to put all the pieces together to spec, powering up the airplane for the first time and seeing it all happen, and more. This aviation technology is just crazy.
Sara, a former student of mine, came to hang out and see the progress of the panel. It was great to see her. She flew in a plane she rented from Madison.
The aircraft pitot static system had to go through IFR Certification. Bruce, the owner of NewView Technologies where we’re getting the modernized, did the test. He hooks up tubes that add pressure to the system, then checks the different tolerances for the instruments.
We got new lighting done in the airplane with overhead and map lights from WAT. We also have much of it on a dimmer. That means we have a master dimmer for many of the instruments and radios.
Rosen Visors are a much better solution for our visors. We got the 3 AXIS version to replace what we had before, and we’re really happy with the solution.
With all the new equipment on this Cessna 172, we had to do a new weight and balance. This was one of the most difficult things we had to do the entire time.
While the airplane was leveled, we also calibrated the fuel senders. This will give us accurate fuel readings for the first time. The digital fuel senders are very accurate, giving us a reliable source for our fuel levels.

Now that you're seeing a lot come together, what is YOUR favorite part of the panel? Comment below!
The color scheme! The panel background with the orange lettering is stunning! I love the yokes!
The iPad is going to be awesome!!! Really enjoying this journey your on! Congrats.
Color scheme is awesome. Love how you re-did the yoke. Avionics are awesome too! Overall, great project and I am glad I was able to tag along on the journey through your videos. Two questions, are you videoing the trip home and are you going to be at OshKosh Air Show this year? Going to OshKosh for the first time and would love to stop by and say hello!
I love you have modern technology, but you kept it true to old school Cessna 6 pack styling. Just an awesome panel design.
When you had that human moment I thought you might cry. I certainly would have! Great, great stuff Chris.
I was very touched.
So awesome!
I saw a B25 take off from Palm Springs airport years ago. What a sight it was and it dropped petals on us. I’ll never forget that moment. Can’t remember if it was Labor Day or Memorial weekend.
Chris, I really love all the videos you publish on the channel. Also, a great human being.
I appreciate that!
Dude you inspire the crap out of me. I see you make these videos back to back and each one is so heartfelt and genuine. I can feel the passion in your voice, I can see it in your eyes. Thanks for sharing the journey and I wish you continued success. Hope to see you in the skies someday.
She is almost ready! Waiting for the next video and see her up and flying with the new panel. Hope great crew / family and you are doing well. It's snowing up in Wisconsin today. Some flurries coming our way a bit more south in IL. Take care - Be safe and take care.
Just wanted to say that your emotions and feelings came across so pure and authentic and deserved!
As you took us along for all the work, we could see the devotion they were putting into 23 Uniform, certainly above and beyond a 9 to 5 job. So glad you took a moment to recognize their Herculean efforts.
That’s another reason we love your channel. Don’t ever lose or hide that emotion and enthusiasm. We love it!!
They're doing all those extra things because they're amazing humans. We were all meant to help each other out - love this series so much!
They really are. Some real quality folk. Above and beyond.
I just cannot get enough of this series, I am genuinely excited when I see a new video posted and I really can”t wait for you to explain all the avionics to us in detail… amazing job
@Chris Bannocks you took the words out of my mouth. Great job team Angle of Attack. Loving this series. Your passion shines through.
A lot more to come on that front.
@@angleofattack I can imagine, do you post at regular intervals? It seems like every 10 days or so.. I am a little impatient ;-) but only because this content is spot on...
You certainly deserve this and so much more! I'm happy to see how well this is coming together and enjoying the process. I learn more from you sometimes than I do from my own flight instructor. Hope to fly with you some day!
Happy to hear you're enjoying it.
Hey Chris, I love your channel, your IFR ground school helped me get my instrument rating after 27 years of VFR flying, but this latest video prompted me to comment. We had a similar panel upgrade on our 1968 Mooney last year and I can relate to how emotional it can be and the amount of work that goes into a project like this. Thanks for sharing so much and showing the juman side of this project. It’s the village that brings a project like this together and they are special people indeed. Please keep up the great work and I look forward to the next chapter.
Great to meet a happy customer! And yeah, people have no idea how much work goes into a project like this, so it's nice to peal back the curtain and show people that process. We all need to appreciate that line of work better.
This is so exciting to see an old bird getting a new panel makeover. She will be as good as new.
Loved seeing Berlin Express fly! This B-25 was restored mostly by EAA chapter members who made weekend trips to OSH to work on it. It was a super fun project!
Beautiful, beautiful!!!
They are a real team for sure!!
Way to go Chris! Inspiring the aviation community!!
man i envy that set up. its beautiful
It's pretty incredible.
Chris! Brother, they gave it their all because YOU give it your all! It shows in everything you do! Couldn't think of a better project partnership.
No apologies needed for you feeling so grateful... same level of gratitude as if they had saved your life! Who knows somewhere down the road...their outstanding work and attention to detail may just make that difference!
It's what matters in aviation.
Excellent video, love the panel!
Panel is looking great!!
That panel is a work of art, a Picasso.
Very nice message you shared. This has been so cool to watch.
Chris, this is just mind blowing! To say it's inspirational is an understatement. I can't wait to get started on the makeover on my uncles 62 Skylark.
That would be totally awesome. Love Skylarks!
So awesome to be able to watch 23U go through this transformation. When I was working on my PPL all of this technology was very new and wasn't very common in training aircraft. It's amazing how fast companies like Garmin were able to adapt these new modern avionics to fit perfectly in a panel without having massive glass displays, yet still providing all the same pertinent information. Can't wait for future videos showcasing all the capabilities of the panel setup. Thanks again for bringing us along on this journey!
For sure, much more to come on that front.
I think that you have done a lot for the aeronautical community with your school and dedication that's why you are receiving this kind of treatment, in some way you deserve it. This is how it works. Your feeling of gratefulness will bring you more and more... big hug and congratulations!!!!
This series is so awesome thank you for sharing the journey. It all looks so amazing
You are so welcome!
What an awesome journey! So glad you are sharing it with us
Thanks for watching!
What an amazing video and I love these types of videos where you show all the work is being done. Can't wait to see the next video!
I feel like I only scratched the surface.
Love it man! So awesome to see how wonderful people are, especially in this community! Don’t forget all the great things you’ve done for this community as well! Keep up the great work!
Absolutely!!
That team is absolutely amazing! Fantastic work!
A lot of amazing people in aviation and you definitely deserve it because you will pass the aviation passion on. Love the panel and the polishing job!
Fascinating. Educational. Enjoyable. It's a nice surprise when each update turns up.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Heart felt compliments there! Definitely will consider this group in the future.
Please do!
The polish on the plane is absolutely awesome!
Can't wait to see you get some expertise with the angle of attack indicator. After all, it is your namesake, Chris. Wonderful videos and narration. Fly safe.
G,day from Sydney Australia.
23U is looking fantastic: "big bickies" on the panel. A lot of labour, wiring, connectors; and instruments. All to keep you going in the forward direction!
🌏🇦🇺
So, so much work!
You earned it, and you deserve it. Keep it up.
The Sky is the... beginning.
Thanks!
I can only imagine bud. I feel ya man. It’s been such an adventure first flying her all the way down there to Oshkosh and now the journey to get her all updated. And seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Truly a reason to feel those emotions. Ever looking forward to seeing her finished.
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting nuggets of knowledge as usual. Great to see that great attitude to work and personal responsibility!
Thanks for watching!
It’s shocking how much work it takes to install “a couple boxes” in the panel. This makes me better appreciate the hours of work and the costs. Great, great series!
It's possible to do a lot less work and just throw in some wires and avionics. But that's lazy. And, bound to cause a lot of problems. If you're going to do it, you've got to do it right. These guys do it right.
Chris you’re living the dream man. Enjoy every single moment of it. It is a gift to do something that you love so much and to be with fellow aviators / birds of a feather that are working with you to make your dreams come true. Truly inspirational man. Love it!!
Pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing "from your heart". Of course the nerdy part is also extremely cool. Certainly cued my thoughts of "oh boy I gotta get one".
Love these plane upgrade videos = )
Parallel path here as well. C172D with avionics upgrades. Not to your caliber but still requires patience as the bugs are worked out. Enjoying the process and thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah? Very cool! Give NewView a call if you need to.
I love the look of your upgraded panel...but the cleaning and polishing while leaving the patina is just way cool!
Haha, glad you like it.
Great video man... 👍
Love from India 🇮🇳
🙏🙏🙏
Chris, l know exactly what you're feeling! I have N2666U 1963 D 172 in the shop right now for some love. Getting a Lynx NGT 9000, mcfarlane
Shimmy damper, new tires, etc. Love upgrading my bird!
Looking forward to the next one!
Coming soon! Thanks for being subbed.
Chris, Great job on the video. It truly is a beautiful panel. New View did an awesome job.
You're one of the few that has actually got to fly with it.
Great job ..nice and awesome avionics make-over.
Thanks a lot!
That thing is looking sweet. They all have done an amazing job on it, I mean the color correction and polish has made it look like an orange color instead of a brown color. The upgrades on the avionics is spectacular, i just have no words for those. It is all coming together nicely and making it look like a more newer more modern plane. All good stuff and am enjoying seeing this transformation. Well deserved for what you do do Chris!!
Thanks so much. It's an incredibly well done job.
She’s looking amazing, can’t wait to see next video, drop it already 🤣
Soooooo sickkkk!
Hi Chris, you deserve it, you have worked so hard and these guys no that too. I love your story its great and your videos are brilliant, I will get over to you one day!!
Dude, thanks for the "real" moment. So much online is fake and it is great to hear heart felt gratitude given out. I'm following this journey close. I listen on Spotify to the podcasts, but I am unable to figure out how to review. I would have reviewed a million times by now. Love your content. Some day, this banjo building IFR student pilot will be flying to Homer to say hi... in person.
Would be great to host you. Thanks for tuning in an absorbing it all.
another nice video thanks
Love this video, the work that goes behind the scenes. I would love to someday see your airplane..
Some day perhaps!
As a Texan and a fan of your channel it was music to my ears hearing you say “Hey y’all” 😂. You must’ve made this video right after Josh Flowers left Alaska!!
Nice touching moment from you at the end.
Wish you were in texas chris. I like your positive personality.
Great Stuff. Neat Bird.
It sure is!
wow wow wow
Looking good😁🤛👋
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job being done there, great videos, looking forward to their safe flight. I would like to live there for a while.
Pretty cool stuff.
That's one awesome flightdeck! Thanks for sharing. Wouldn't mind seeing seeing this plane in it's new config in fS2020/2024, since I'm legally blind, and will never get the chance to fly a plane like that. LOL Thanks for the video.
My fav part is the leather wrapped controls. So classy. Would love to do that on my 172F
Yes, they are awesome.
21:44 they do it because they love it!
This series should be on the Discovery Channel, I would watch it
Right on!
I love your appreciation and humbleness for all the people that have worked so hard on your plane. You've worked very hard on your flying career, so yes, you're being blessed by God. Enjoy your life in aviation. Only a few get to see the glory God created on the Earth from above.
Amen to that!
That's not a Frankenstein moment... That's Jurassic Park with the circuit breakers and raptors coming
Bahah!
That panel is a beautiful thing. I loved watch the new bits light up for the first time. Truly one of the most rewarding moments in any restoration.
I don't know how they do it. I mean, I'm no dummy so I guess I could learn, but it's just really cool to see something so complex work as soon as it's powered up. Mad respect.
Back in '76'-'77 I worked in an avionics shop in Texas installing radios in new Beechcraft plans and other older aircraft. This was when aircraft sales were at their peek. We would average one Bonanza a day, a Baron a week and have 2-3 King Airs and Dukes a month for various work. It looks like nothing has changed in all these years. Except what type of avionics go in the panel.
We just added 2-G 5s and a Garmin 175 in our 1963 172
12:07 no you have it backwards (how you said it), it is supposed to hit the primary stop at the carburetor, indicating you truly reached max available throttle or, in this case mixture, before reaching the secondary stop in the cockpit.
Well, I used different words but taught the same thing.
@@angleofattack you may want to go back and listen carefully, what is said is incorrect. I think you should edit the video or put captions in with correct wording.
@@chrisruf7590 Yep he said it backasswords.
By the way.................... excellent
Haha, maybe a little less so. But then again, here I am able to do it so I'm really grateful.
Очень хорошо👍 Спасибо 🤝🤝🤝
She just needs a paint job now and it will be a new plane. Nice work. Understand the emotion!
For sure. Not really any paint shops in Alaska, so that's a real challenge.
@@angleofattack As a flight simmer, I always loved your tutorials. You did a great job. My pc took a crap and I have not been on a while. Miss it.
I love the new powder coated panel. They could have just installed all the same stuff into your plane and it wouldn't look anything like it does. Is that a new dash on top of the whole panel as well? Looks so good and love the heartfelt moment. I got into facility maintenance a few years ago and things going wrong is just the nature of the beast. It could be doing electrical, plumbing, drywall and sometimes it goes right and a lot of the time it doesn't. In the end it will be done right, but it can be stressful getting there.
C'mon Chris, I need to see this aircraft fly! Next video please....panel looks great. Another 20 years in that airframe yet
Yup, next time!
Were you still as grateful and appreciative when you got that final invoice?! Nice panel!
Anyone else thumbs up this within the first 10 seconds?
Looking good giving and btw I gather you do have stol kits on it .
I do not have a STOL kit on it. Installing soon, though.
Great vid!!! Shes coming along!! Dont you hate when no one tells you that your glasses are crooked?
Hi Chris,
Great work and what a beautiful panel! I was wondering how you have installed the iPad - Which mount do you use for that? I am trying to figure out how I can do the same with the iPad on my Cessna. Thanks a lot!
Regards Nicolaj from Denmark.
Excellent video!! What is the melody of the tattoo on Jessica's arm? Also how did the weight change? When my 172M was weighed, it was a lot heavier than the calculated weight had been for so many years and a bit of a disappointment on the loss of usable load!! Also, very smart to change the throttle and mixture cables. I didn't do that on my panel upgrade and now learn that the throttle cable needs to be replaced so I will likely go with the McFarlane vernier throttle cable as well!!
The song on Jessica's arm is the piano melody from Clocks by Coldplay. Spirals around my arm to the repeat.
Just one of those things that wasn't going to cost a lot but made a huge difference.
Great series, try and keep the livery in good order Chris. 🇬🇧
Thanks, will do!
@@angleofattack 😂
4:00 At first I thought we were getting a cameo from Ariel Tweto.
Sara is a way more legit pilot than Ariel Tweeto.
I have a 177RG. Love your panel. How much did the panel cost? I would love to do it too.
Can’t wait to see your flight home with the new flight instruments! When will that video be posted?
Coming soon!
Hi Chris, great video as usual. You are such a thoughtful caring person. So many questions, so little time. Did the airplane lose weight? If so how much? Did the airplane sit long enough with the engine not running that you have to worry about corrosion of the cam, lifters and cylinders? If so did you take any action to pickle the engine? I know that in Alaska you have been running auto gas, on your trip south you put on at least 50 hours with 100 LL, did you notice the oil getting dirtier faster? As part of the makeover, did you put in a four place intercom? With Bluetooth? Can the C145 take a Powermaster exhaust? If the autopilot is not installed does that mean another long cross country to Oshkosh?
17:29 - 1,097!!! What else did you take out?
Our '61 172B C-FMVU is undergoing a similar process, new panel, new interior, paint stripped, engine mods to make it lighter... when we started empty weight was 1,333. Finished it today, and it goes on the scales tomorrow; I was hoping for a weight around 1,200. But maybe 1,100 is a possibility.
That's uncalibrated. And the airplane wasn't level like it should have been yet. That set of scales has an algorithm of some kind that gets the actual weight.
@@angleofattack Where did you end up?
Could you share some more intel on the detail guy in the background who is polishing everything attached to the plane? I have fun detailing and love to watch when others who are more professional work their craft..
A new Cessna 182 is half a million, starting to think that it's easier and cheaper to build one by yourself.
Will this plane be ready for my flight in mid March?
Another great video ! Question = Can a IFR be flown as VFR ?
Yes, just not the other way around.
@@angleofattack Thank you for the quick response.
16:19 Did the empty weight go down after removing all the old avionics and wiring?
No. We added so much new stuff that wasn't there that it was basically a wash.
Wouldn't it make more sense to leave space for autopilot panel somewhere in the middle where it can be reached from both seats?
The original plan was to put it in the middle. But if you remember in the previous videos how we talk about the yoke T column, it moves forward and backward behind the instrument panel under the radios. The autopilot mode controller connector as a minimum clearance requirement, and the connector would stick out too far to allow the controller to positioned there. We reserved the space for the beautiful logo, and put the controller in the next best place that it could fit. In front of the pilot. :-)
I really miss the f16 aoa indicator in my cessna 172 lol.
What did that right engine blow out the back @3:02 ?
