Refurbishing my 1979 Cessna 182Q 

Many thanks. Dan

Thank you so much 😀

Hi 'EtiRats', thanks for your kind words and encouragement. Do to my experiences and hard found contacts I have now started a company called 'Gin Clear Aviation' that specialises in aircraft refurbishment project management and consultation. I have two PA 28's (a 180 and a 235) going through the process as we speak (videos to follow once the projects are completed) I have engineers, interior and paint company affiliations. If you need anything sorting send over a brief and I can try and help. Regards, Dan - Gin Clear Aviation.

The engine monitor is very useful and one of my main requirements. It works very well on the G3X 10 inch screen. There is plenty of space. You can change the way it appears on the screen with one touch. You don't need a second screen.

Thanks Dan, I've decided to stick with the one G3X display. Glad to hear you are happy with the engine instrumentation.

You are right, a fab plane that just eats the miles as you fly along in stable comfort.

Thanks. It was a great fun project with great results. I appreciate your comments.

Thank you! Cheers!

It was definitely worth the investment of time and cost. I just love flying this plane. Thanks for liking the video. I'll take the Malcolm McDowell comment as a compliment!! :)

Non fuel injected, i.e. normally aspirated / carburated O-470.

Very even delta from peak across your cylinders for being a 470 carburated engine. If you ever come to Guatemala let me know.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you!

Cost is a tricky question to answer due to the different avionics prices and fitting costs. It's best to get a current cost from an avionics shop.

@@ginclearaviation ok. Even a range. I’ve no idea if that’s £30k or £100k!

Less than $5000 here in the USA…Pacific_Coast_Avionics…Oregon did mine. A completely new aluminum panel…I mean 100% new with all Garmin..ex..3000 NXI…$100,000…with every penny…In Texas there is an interior shop…I think around Dallas will charge $40,000 for a new leather interior fit for royalty…a paint shop in Phoenix, Arizona will charge around $20,000 for a paint that will make national headlines…. So, ask yourself what’s important to you and your return on your investment and love of flying…3 blade controllable pitch prop is $10 to $15 grand…300 hp fuel injected IO-520-D ..Teledyne Continental with Gami Injectors will cost $50 grand …+/-…I did ALL this to my 1976 Cessna 182Q…I’m at break even on its upgrade cost and repair versus its resale value today..May, 2024…All the best from Mendocino County, California…KUKI MUNICIPAL AIRPORT…🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks.

Thank you! Cheers!
