There are a bunch of modifications I mention in this video as it relates to the brake lines and the rudder pedals. Again, by this point I am kind skipping around and building out of order, but I hope you enjoy the video.

Constant Speed Prop Explained in Plain English (Start Here!) - Subscribe to Airplane Academy
Most people go straight to the prop governor when trying to learn the constant speed prop and honestly I think that can just confuse you before you understand the broader picture. In this video I explain the why behind constant speed props and how you practically use them. Later, if you want to deep dive the schematic of a prop governor, you'll have context and it can actually stick :)

GoPros & Grass Strips - Fun in a Cessna 172 - VansAircraftBuilders.com
We as Aircraft Builders, need to take time and get out and fly, just as reminder of how great it will be one day to fly an Airplane that we built ourselves. Today we flew into Cedar Mills Airport (3T0) in Gordonville, Texas . A beautiful and well-kept grass strip worth checking out. Just a short walk to the Pelican's Landing Waterfront Restaurant.
