  BIRD, but now that I'mover being stunned, please put a white stripe on the propeller tips - just in case ramp people are nearby when running. Understand the wing is the same same laminar flow wing as the C-210 which has a nice strong carry through spar, but with wider cabin.. I know people IO-360 in 177RGs having C/S props, and even one friend has an IO-390 in his. Cruises at 180 kts in that TN bird. 177 may be the best thing Cessna ever built save the 441. Lot's of options to do upgrades on this platform. But I think I saw you doing other C-177 videos, so you know all this already eh? Best thing about the G-5 is that it is an AHRS system. Nice colors on your outfit for the vid. :)

  I owned a 1972 177B for 6 years and used it for aerial photography. I had a small sliding window installed which worked great. I loved flying her especially on long flights. Very comfortable & easy to land. Even handled crosswinds easily even with those long wings. Only recurring issue I had was the nose wheel strut vibrating on landing. Otherwise I miss that plane!

  I'm more of a fixed gear guy. OK, it looks like the plane has legs that stick out while in flight but at least there's no extra mechanism involved in extending and retracting the wheels, and mechanical simplicity is always a plus in my book, even if it does come at a slight cost of aerodynamics.

• 
  @aerolife164611 күн бұрын

  There are definitely pros and cons on both. Fixed gears compromise some on performance to gain simplicity and maintenance cost. The RG gives you better performance for higher maintenance costs and more complexity. Thanks for commenting and watching.

  I still believe Cessna made a mistake. They should have ended the 172 line and kept the 177. Much easier and stable aircraft all the way around.

• 
  @aerolife164614 күн бұрын

  They definitely are a more stable plane and should have been continued. I think the combination of the initial lower powered engine and lack of slots in the stabilator (which made landing harder) made for some ‘bad press’ and Cessna either couldn’t or wouldn’t try to overcome that which resulted in them dropping the Cardinal from production. Although I think the 172 will always be seen as a good primary trainer. Thanks for commenting and watching our video.

• 
  @cessna177flyer32 күн бұрын

  The Cardinal has a lot of hand-made parts (like the doors) which made it more expensive to produce than its competitors. Then, rising labor costs in the 60s and 70s put further pressure on products like the Cardinal, leaving Cessna no choice but to discontinue it. But I agree, it is a superior airplane compared to the C-172 in almost every way.

  Hey! You're back! Stumbled on your channel when I was researching Cardinals. Ultimately didn't buy one. Too forward of a CG for 2 big guys trying to fly. But definitely a plane I wish I could! 210 maybe?

• 
  @aerolife164614 күн бұрын

  If the CG is too far forward in a plane (even 182 and 210 can have this), it can be solved simply by using baggage or ballast in the back of the baggage area to balance out. Since the baggage compartment has a longer arm it doesn’t need to be a lot of weight to balance out the CG. Thanks for watching our videos and commenting.

  Thank you for the comment. The reason we used black accents is to keep the red from becoming too bright red. It also gives a sharp contrast. We’ll give some thought to this though and maybe try a more charcoal dark gray color next time to see how it looks in the design.

  In their website, for the 177 upgrade, Powerflow mentions that the upgrade is equal to 10-15 horsepower. It doesn’t actually add HP to the engine since it’s an exhaust system. It gives increased performance similar to what increased HP would. Thanks for continuing to watch our videos.

  I have flown the Cardinal many times and many bash it because they had trouble landing it. But it takes a bit more finesse and once you master that it is as easy to fly as any 172. Performances is a bit better than the 172.

• 
  @aerolife164614 күн бұрын

  Thank you for the comment. Different planes need different landing techniques and training. If learned correctly in any plane, you can fly and land them very nicely. That’s why we offer transition training, so people can learn correctly. My daughter is a student pilot and I’ve trained her in a Cardinal. She never once had to go around and lands better than many pilots. Many people try to land the Cardinal like other Cessnas such as the 172. That is completely incorrect since this plane has a large, stabilator as opposed to the small elevator most other planes have.

•

  Cardinals rock.We don't allow primary training in ours, though. I think claiming 800+ miles range is an exaggeration. Practically it's much less.

• 
  @aerolife164614 күн бұрын

  Thank you for watching and the comment. 825 miles is the range listed in the pilots operating handbook of this plane. You may be referring to the 177B model, but this particular plane having more power, lower fuel burn and the digital engine monitor to precisely monitor fuel flow can go long distance. It just flew 500 miles with plenty of fuel left. I’ve flown from Northern Indiana to Central Florida. I agree that flight schools don’t use them as primary trainers, for different reasons including being more expensive than the same year range 172 and not as common as 172 or Piper Cherokee and most Cardinals are the B model with a constant speed prop which is not the best for initial training. This particular Cardinal is similar to a 172 but handles better with a roomier and comfortable cabin. If you watch my RV12 video, that is a very good plane to use as a primary trainer. When I was training a while back, my instructor told me the Cardinal was his new favorite plane because of how it handles.

• 
  @aerolife164614 күн бұрын

  I definitely agree, they are beautiful planes. These planes are designed in USA to accommodate the height of average US people. As an example, the Mooney has a smaller cabin than the Cardinal; a couple weeks ago a gentleman well over 6ft sat down and fit nicely even in that plane. This plane will definitely fit. The seats can move forward and aft quite a bit and the left seat can also lift up and down. The Cessna 177 has a similar space to a Cessna 210. If someone can’t fit well in this plane they won’t fit well in other planes either. The only thing is that four large people would exceed the payload and rear seat leg room in many single pistons. I do like the way you put the question though and thank you for watching.
