. See all the equipment we put on the airplane, and inquire about your own project! newviewtech.com/aoa/ The instrument panel update on our 1963 172 is finally underway. We're getting all new avionics and modernizing this flight school airplane. Planning has been in the works for months, and now it's time to put it all together. It'll be a modern and capable aircraft, able to do the latest and greatest in aviation technology.
We start with the panel itself, which was painstakingly designed with CAD. Then, it was sent off to Nimbus in Florida. There it would be created with CNC, power coated, and painted. It turned out really great, and will house all of our IFR instruments, avionics, and a new modern layout.
NewView also did a lot of work on the aircraft paint, restoring much of its glossiness, and giving it some extra shine. It looks really nice.
We got our Cessna 172 yokes redone and recovered by Aviation X Aircraft Interiors in Conroe, Texas. They look absolutely fantastic and really set the stage for a nice panel.
The crew at NewView went through the airplane as mechanics and noticed some things wrong with the carburetor. We sent it off to be overhauled, and also got a carburetor temp readout installed. With the new GI275 EIS from Garmin, we'd get all new wiring and engine indications, including fuel. Loren takes us through the carburetor and teaches us how it works.
A project like this is really complex, but comes together really well. This is only the first video, and we'll have more updates of the Cessna 172 Instrument Panel coming soon. We're excited to show you the final product!
