EarthX Aircraft Lithium Battery Install – Safe! 18Lbs Lighter! Stronger Starts! Glens Hangar - Canucks Unlimited 2025-09-26 | Welcome back to the hangar! In today’s video, we head into Chris’s shop for some much-needed aircraft maintenance: an oil change, new oil filter, oil temperature probe, and the installation of an EarthX lithium battery in my 1961 Cessna.The big question—why switch from lead-acid to lithium? For me, it came down to weight savings and performance. The EarthX battery is nearly 18 lbs lighter than the old one, which not only improves weight and balance but also gives me stronger cranking power for reliable starts—especially important with electronic ignition.Check out EarthX here: earthxbatteries.com/glenshangarWe’ll walk through the installation, venting setup, STC paperwork, and even some teeter-totter center of gravity theory. You’ll also see real results after a few hours of flight testing: stable voltage, quick starts, and the peace of mind that comes with modern lithium iron phosphate chemistry. This battery is safe, smart, and FAA/Transport Canada approved—not the “scary lithium” you may have heard about.If you’re an aircraft owner or pilot curious about upgrading from lead-acid to lithium, this video will give you a detailed, hands-on look at what’s involved and what you can expect.✈️ Topics covered:Oil change & oil filter replacementInstalling an oil temperature probeEarthX lithium battery installation (STC)Comparing weight savings: 22.7 lbs vs 5.4 lbsUnderstanding CG impact on performanceFlight testing results & battery safety👉 Next up: I’ll be flying west to Steinbach to finish my instrument rating—and maybe squeeze in my first fishing trip in 35 years.

Behind the Scenes: How I Record Cockpit Audio & Video While Flying Glens Hangar - Canucks Unlimited 2025-09-19 | Welcome friends! In today’s video, I take you behind the scenes of my in-cockpit and on-wing camera setup for filming flights in my 1961 Cessna 172B. A lot of you have asked: What cameras do I use? How do I mount them safely? How do I power and sync everything for smooth footage and sound?I’ll walk you through my full rig, including:✈️ GoPro Hero 9 and Hero 12 setups (and why I use each)✈️ Custom aluminum wing mounts attached to inspection plates✈️ External V-mount batteries powering cameras for hours of flight✈️ Tentacle Sync timecode generators and audio recorders for perfect sound sync✈️ Cooling solutions to keep GoPros from overheating✈️ Why I still carry a Sony ZV1 and even a DJI Osmo Action 5This isn’t about making Hollywood-perfect aerials—it’s about safe flying first, with cameras coming second. But with a lifetime career as a cinematographer and DP in Toronto, I’ve picked up some tricks for reliable, simple camera rigs that won’t fail mid-flight.If you’ve ever wondered how to film flying, how to mount GoPros on an airplane wing, or how to sync cockpit audio with action cam footage, this deep dive should answer your questions.🛩️ Got more questions? Drop them in the comments—I’ll be happy to share more details.#GoPro #AviationVideo #CockpitView #PilotVlog #FlightVideoSetup #Cessna #TimecodeSync #FlyingOther products that I've used to rebuild C-FMVU - solid companies that I enjoyed working with:- Dynon Avionics: dynoncertified.com- Six Pack Aero: sixpackaero.com- WingX: wingxstol.com/html/products.html- Pro Pilot Autopilot By Trio Avionics: thestcgroupllc.com/pages/pro-pilot-autopilot-by-trio-avionics- ElectroAire electronic ignition: http://www.electroair.net- Helix folding bike: helix.ca⚠️ NOTE: These videos are edited for time and entertainment.

Aircraft Engine Surgery Replacing Two Cylinders Plus a Test Flight Glens Hangar - Canucks Unlimited 2025-05-30 | Cylinder Change & Test Flight | Continental Engine Maintenance on a Cessna 172BWhy We Didn't Just Lap the Valve...It's a beautiful morning in Edenvale CNV8 and we’re tackling an essential job—changing a cylinder on our Continental Aviation engine. In this episode, I respond to your comments from the last video and explain why we chose to replace the cylinder instead of lapping valves or reaming guides.

A Very Expensive Oil Drip... Glens Hangar - Canucks Unlimited 2025-05-23 | Join me for another eventful day of general aviation flying in my Cessna 172 (Foxtrot Mike Victor Uniform) as I tackle a minor oil drip that leads to a bigger engine concern. After noticing oil on the nose wheel and some spray along the belly, I fly up to Chris’s hangar to perform an oil change and track down the source of the leak.🔧 We go hands-on with compression testing, a thorough boroscope inspection, and uncover a sticky intake valve and two cylinders showing differential pressure loss. I also share the backstory of this vintage Continental engine—its decades of dormancy, the overhaul history, and how these issues are part of keeping a classic aircraft in the sky.🏁 From takeoff clearance at Oshawa to troubleshooting and landing back home, this video is packed with valuable insights for:Aircraft ownersPrivate pilotsAME mechanicsAnyone maintaining older Continental engines🚨 Plus: A sneak peek at our upcoming carbon fibre cowl fabrication project and an update on my Give Hope Wings cross-country flight to raise funds for Hope Air.👉 Subscribe and follow along as we prep for an extended journey to Winnipeg for IFR training and more in-depth aircraft maintenance content.#GeneralAviation #Cessna172 #AircraftMaintenance #OilLeak #CompressionTest #ContinentalEngine #BoroscopeInspection #GiveHopeWings #IFRTraining #FlyingVlog #PilotLife #GAcommunity #HopeAir2025 Give Hope Wings Fundraiser Page:https://ca-p2p.engagingnetworks.app/31190/ghw2025/180784/glens-hangarMore info about Hope Air: hopeair.cahopeair.ca/impact-report-2024Our Fundraiser flight will be making stops in June 2025:Thursday June 5: Gore Bay (CYZE) - Launch EventFriday June 6 - Saturday June 7: Sault Ste.

5 Minutes Of Flying And Talking... Glens Hangar - Canucks Unlimited 2024-11-29 | If you've ever wondered what we talk about in the plane on these long haul flights... This is 5 minutes of Julie dreaming about what could be if we had an unlimited budget, or unlimited resources from aviation suppliers and equipment makers. However we are both hyper aware that CFMVU is already a stretch on our budget, and how lucky we are to even be able to own and fly our own aircraft. As for what's next - saving, saving, saving so that we can finally upgrade the panel to IFR and maybe get julie a new seat so the flights don't seem so long.Looking to buy new sunglasses?
