1 Year Later - Finally Flying C-FMVU Home!
One year after finding this abandoned Cessna 172B locked away in a hangar - airplane hangar find, airplane barn find. It's been a year of hard work rebuilding our Cessna 172B, and it's finally time to fly C-FMVU to it's new home at Oshawa Airport (CYOO).
Over the last year we've done extensive work and testing:
- Stripped the paint and interior.
- Partially polished the airplane, and painted a stripe.
- Pulled the entire electrical system and re-wired it.
- Replaced all of the lights with LEDs and LED strobes.
- Pulled the vacuum system and replaced the entire panel with a Dynon Skyview glass panel
- Added a Sportsman STOL kit
- Added Micro VG's
- Added WingX wing extensions
But there is still a lot of work to do...
