Join us for our last leg of flying before landing in Sedona Arizona. This tricky airport is surrounded by terrain on all sides and the runway is on top of a mesa. This is a portion of our journey from Manitoba Canada to Sedona Arizona.
My battery was getting weak, never noticed it when starting the plane however, on this particular leg, -20 temps at altitude, i had the angle of attack and Pitot heaters running most of the time, so when it was time to cycle the gear, the startup load on the battery just shut it down. Reset the master switch and everything resumed 100%. I put a new battery in when we landed in Sedona, mine was 8 years old already!
Great video!!! Love it!! I do have to ask, are the police helicopters really escorting you? Or did you just happen to catch them flying along in your direction to Sedona? I really love your Cessna 177 RG. I've been on the lookout for a plane but hadn't given the 177 much thought as we don't often hear about this plane as regularly as the 172 and 182. Looking forward to watching #3 and #4.
Was chatting with the officers in the FBO, they were just looking for a good place to stop and have supper. I told we were headed to Sedona, they said Great idea and they followed us there. Just fun. 177's were only made for 10 years but if you research them you will fall in love. 4' wide cabin inside, 4' wide doors that open 90 degrees each side, 140 knots TAS on 8.5 GPH, 60 gallon tanks with just under 1000 nm Range. Wing is 1 foot further back so you can see up and down just as easy. Very fast controls, a real sports sedan. This guys video sums it up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iBpMnSYm0Jc.htmlsi=z1DtnttAMi7wUUuq
Thanks, i use a Insta 360X3 on the wing, Sony Action cam on the ceiling inside and i use the Garmin Bluetooth to record the intercom audio directly to my iPhone using "voice Memo", works great.
