Slowest Stall Speed Of A Cessna 172 Ever??? Maybe?
What is the stall speed of a Cessna 172? With wing mods you can this aircraft down to a pretty slow speed. TO BE CLEAR - on this day I did a bunch more maneuvers, I did slow flight in landing configuration without altitude loss, as well as the slow flight in landing configuration with altitude loss that I showed here. The stalls were performed with power at idle (450-500 RPM), with an eye to showing you the slowest speed - but also to recogonise all of the characteristics of flight up to the point of stalling. You would of course initiate a recovery long before the wing stalls.
SAFETY FIRST ALWAYS -
This summer (June 2023) I'm flying in a 2,086nm fundraiser for Hope Air, an organisation that helps lower income Canadians or those who live in remote areas access healthcare by providing flights (through private pilots and airlines) to larger urban centres.

I tell you what, that work you did on the exterior really makes your plane stand out. I have seen you flying over my house a couple of times already. I always give you a friendly wave! I was so surprised when I recognized C-FMVU from the ground but it really stands out with the red against the aluminum. And you are right Oshawa is incredibly busy, it seems more so since Covid. Living close to the airport is nice for plane watching, but more and more jet powered planes are making things a bit loud.

That speed is insanely slow. I'm impressed. I wouldn't have guessed it would slow down that much.

A 45 knot stall speed (stock) is already really friggin slow :D but just under 30 knots is just insane! Gotta go to BC and land on some gravel bars Glen, MVU was clearly made for that ;)

I remember stall training in our 1946 Aeronca 7AC. A hard break and learned to keep it out of a spin quickly. Not my favourite thing to do then but later learned to enjoy the training as I got into Cessnas. Glad summer flying weather is finally with you. Enjoy! Thank you for the ride. Always a pleasure tagging along with you! Blessings.

I watch your cooking shows and decided to check out your plane KZfaq site. I know absolutely nothing about planes but have really enjoyed. I watched from the very beginning going forward with the rebuild to completion. It was very rewarding to see your passion come to fruition. Plane looks great.

I guess 38mph on your other post. I didn't realize how much the wing extensions, cuff and VGs did to lower the stall speed. Nice for getting into short runways, and then actually being able to get out of them again! Nice stuff.

Nice work. How efficient it got on stall characteristics with those mods. Beautiful work. One day I'll do the same work as you did. It's one of my dreams. Take care!

Glen, glad to see you restored a great airplane. A labor of love, no doubt. I remember my father demonstrating slow flight in his 1953 Cessna 180 near Ramapo Valley Airport over the NY Thruway sometime in 1968. With just the two of us on board, half fuel and 30 degree flaps, he got slowed it to 43 mph with full control. Of course, his experience flying a PBY Catalina (which was never known for speed) for the Navy in WWII might have something to do with his skill. I think he paid less than 5 grand for it. I was a straight 180, no baggage door. It was my job to fold down the rear seat and lift the luggage into the back. Every winter we flew from NJ to Florida during school vacations, 7 hours with a fuel stop. Wish I still had that plane. Cheers!

This thing can get as slow as some of your overnight recipes. Wow. Do you find now that your speeds aren't relating to POH values anymore you will fly in KTS opposed to MPH now? Surely this would help with ATC, other pilots who are flying in knots and not having to do conversions on your end? Great content. All the work in this aircraft and your training is paying huge dividends. Fly safe Glen!!!

Interesting comment about various YT videos showing that... stuff happens. I hate "YT drama/clickbait" but it's a great opportunity that didn't exist a few decades ago to share/learn from all the messy reality. Kudos to that lone tower controller!

Did a session of exactly this today with my instructor. Ouch it was bumpy. One thermal took me into the yellow arc and push the plane up by 500 feet in seconds. And I was rusty. Absolutely required to keep on these skills.

Hello Glen from Sydney Australia. 'Hear the stall warning, recover immediately'..... OK 🌏🇭🇲

@JohnBodylski Ай бұрын

That’s an amazing indicated airspeed, i do think though that there is probably a significant mismatch at these high angles of attack. Have you done some calibrations against ground speed in each direction to get an idea of what your calibrated airspeed should be when it reads this low? My guess is that the calibrated airspeed is in the mid 30’s for stall. Again, amazing work, just trying to understand the true performance of all the work you put in!

@angusmclennan8747 10 ай бұрын

As I said before my 172C airspeed indicator had cease to indicate, and all I had was flap gap seals, I used it for mustering sheep in outback Queensland Austalia, Just keep the airspeed indicator working and everything was safe!!!

There are advantages to flying from quiet airports.... My "practice area" is over my "farm", about 10-15NM from the Dryden airport CYHD and it's rare to have any traffic. I usually inform ATC I'll be 10-15 west from 8000' to 2000' practicing aerobatics and they let me know when (rarely) there is any traffic to be of concern. The downside is twofold, I do not have a lot of experience dealing with high traffic areas, and ATC in congested areas and controlled airspace, and I have to work hard to remember to make my clearing turns and traffic checks before doing aerobatics. Great disclaimer about editing, I leave out the boring bits on most videos, but it can make people think you are skipping checklists and run-ups... I'll try to make mention of that more.

If it was a sound mic for music or voice I'd think the mic distortion at the beginning would go away by moving the mic another half inch away from the mouth so the capsule stops being overloaded. Sometimes your voice sounds a lot better through the headset mic than it did here at the beginning. Later it was much clearer, but still some overload distortion.

Hey Glen, I have been thinking about your over heated Go Pro on the airplane dash. After noticing that you placed a fan behind it, I thought how about adding a heatsink to the base of it too. Not sure how I would do that since I do not know the anatomy of the equipment but I'm sure that you could figure something out.

Did I miss a video? I watched your Trio AP install video with great interest and was thinking there'd be a video of you testing / introducing us to it's features in flight. But it went straight to this video. How is the Trio?

@GlensHangar 7 ай бұрын

Trio is a work in progress - I mention it in a few videos after the installation, but I haven't really featured it yet. At this point it really only gives basic functionality; holds altitude and course / track, which it does really well. I'm waiting on the final firmware update that will link the Trio with the Dynon, there have ben several Beta firmware updates and they are getting close to the certified release. I knew this going into the project, so this wasn't a surprise.

I don't think a modern 172 displays airspeed below 40 knots. That is the point the G1000 system deems the airspeed valid.

This system comes alive around 20 knots, and it's using two separate pitot tubes

Great video as usual! If you had to pick just one wing modification which one would you pick? Sportsman, VGs, or WingX?

@GlensHangar Жыл бұрын

That's a tough one - because I put all three on at the same time, I don't know which one had the greatest impact. I suspect the WingX extensions, are the greatest contributor; since a lot of 172s have Sportsman STOL and VGs but don't have the slow stall speeds I'm seeing. The WingX was only STC'd in Canada for the 172 when I installed it last year; the STC for the USA just happened, so we'll see if others put on the same combo and start winning STOL competitions in the 172 class.
