cessna 172

During my plane's recent annual inspection, I had to replace the #4 cylinder and rebuild the carburetor. This was my first time dealing with both of these issues, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I've noticed a significant loss of power, especially during climb-out, and a decrease in...

I'm interested in mounting a camera from the interior ceiling of a Cessna 172 and recording video while flying. I was looking at getting a GoPro but it occurred to me I already have a Canon 5D MK IV DSLR which is capable of shooting 4K video. Has anyone managed to mount a Canon DSLR to a GoPro...

Hello Everyone, I had an Incidents not all to long ago and it caused some damage on my 1956 Cessna 172 Taildragger Conversion. I have tried to contact the STC holder and I can get no replies. I talked to my mechanic and he is having the same issues he said he could manufacture new parts as long...

I’m looking for a good (and affordable) interior shop in Northern California / Western US for a 1998 Cessna 172S. Does anybody know of one? Need all the interior side panels (plastic) replaced (its a 7,500 hour airplane). I may need new leather on the seats as well, but still debating the cost...

Hi All, I'm working on a YouTube video about the history of Cessna 172 and I'm looking for some photos of specific models. I know there are lots out there on the interwebs but I need permission from the photo owner in order to use them in the videos. If anyone is interested in seeing their...

Hi there PoA We're getting ready to rebuild (preventatively) our Lycoming O-320-E2D LyCon conversion in our '71 C172L and I'm trying to understand as much information as possible so we can make good educated decisions on the path forward. So, without getting into the merits of rebuild/overhaul...

Hello folks, I am a private pilot with 100 hours looking to start my instrument training. While I know plenty of instructors, there are no good aircraft to rent in the area. Because of this, I am looking to purchase an airplane. I want this airplane to be a good platform for me to get my...

So technically this video is from my trip to OSH17, but it doesn't look like too many folks have posted videos of their OSH Departures, so I thought I'd throw mine into the mix! The arrival gets all of the love (for good reason), but the departure demands respect and a good set of ears. You'll...
