Mooney M20J aircraft review: Flight speeds & Landing with gusty winds
Thoroughly enjoyed this detailed look at the 177RG. If I were buying an aircraft that blends my 172 and 182 time this is the one. Not to mention at my age, those big doors would be helpful...seems I'm not as "bendy" as I used to be.
That is one beautiful aircraft. Wow...
Sweet.
Ground speed is nice but it says nothing about air speed. So your video doesn't actually give true performance data.
Now the 177B I believe had the 180 hp engine. Constant speed prop. "NEW" Wing and redesigned stabalator , right ? It's actually THE ONLY Cardinal worth buying and flying.
Your speed data is deceiving because you use ground speed instead of TAS. My 177B performs pretty much the same without all the “speed mods” except for the exhaust fairing.
Very nice.
Would be perfect with the io390 LYC.
The cardinal is so dam gorgeous.
It appears that the end of your trip was landing at Herlong. I am based there with my Bonanza. Is that your home airport?
Good video have a stech 30 In a c310 in instruct in in KTUL. It doesn't work. Turn it on an only get a Alt. Light .
Where I MN?
Gimme a tail wheel option and I'm sold
Beautiful aircraft...will make new owner very happy. Thx for the demo.
Thank you very much! I have always liked the Cardinal, and feel that Cessna really messed up the original version with a low powered engine and not having that slotted stabilator. That plane still turns heads where ever it goes.
Can you please provide make model of landing lights? I have similar 414AW
Can you please provide make model of under wing landing lights? I have similar 414AW
Riding shotgun in a Mooney to Oshkosh this year, so this was very valuable.. Thanks!
Everything is good on this beautiful 177rg. I have unfortunately had 3 engine failures as a pilot. Piper 140, Cessna 177, and Baron C -55. Made a runway with the Piper. Made a Road with the Cessna 177. Runway with the Baron. Luckily all three were day VFR. I fly twin aircraft now.
It's meh. That paint is awful, but most don't really care so it likely won't be an issue.
Hello, are the engineers counter rotating? Salute from Ontario Canada 🍁
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!
You suck😊
I can only dream of owning an aircraft however, if I was lucky enough, it would be a cardinal. Thank you for a great review
First buy a cheap 150 and then upgrade over time.
Kindly suggest the painting company and contact numbers pls 🙏🙏🙏
Man, I loved the Cessna Cardinal C-177 FG. I actually rented a C-177 RG for several years. Use to fly from SIU in Carbondale, Illinois up to Dupage County Airport to see family.
Both the fixed gear and retractable gear Cardinals are great planes to fly. You are lucky to have had a chance to rent one. Thanks for commenting and watching our video.
The important thing is. Has the center section spar inspection been done.
Very true, the spar inspection is important in Cardinals. This plane has had that inspection done and passed with flying colors! Thanks for the comment and for watching our video.
Any info on useful load with this bird's STC?
Usefull load if this plane is 900 lbs. It is actually higher than the 1975 177B model we sold recently.
That is so roomy
The Cardinals are one of the widest cabins in the piston singles. Thanks for the comment and watching our video.
This is one gorgeous Cardinal...thx
Thank you very much for the comment and watching our video.
The 177 looks better than a 172 no matter what the paint job is.
The 177s are beautiful planes without the strut there. Thanks for the comment & watching.
My time in 177s goes back to the early 80s and have always loved them. They are great all around airplanes. Probably the easiest airplane to get into and out of.
They definitely are one of the easiest entry planes I’ve ever found. You’re lucky to have been able to fly one. Thanks for watching & your comment.
Those cadillac doors sure do make the mooney pilots jealous. Until they fly by like were standing still that is
Why people don’t like the C177?
Many people own them, fly them and love them. Cardinal has its own association as well because of its popularity. You can find people who dislike any airplane for their own, various reasons.
very nice review, Thank You.
Thank you for watching and the comment.
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.
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'm so glad to see you again, greetings from Brazil
Thank you for continuing to watch our videos in Brazil. Appreciate the comments too.
@@aerolife1646 your explanation is the best, and your voice clear help so much to understand. Tks
Wait a minute. You upgraded it to 160hp? Sorry, I will stick with the Archer in that case.
Nose trim?
Yes, it has pitch trim.
I did my IFR training course in a Cardinal and my commercial checkride. Great memories, nice airplane !
They are great airplanes, you were lucky to be able to do some advanced training in the Cardinal. They’re great for that with their easy, smooth handling characteristics. Thanks for watching and the comment.
I had a 1973 Cardinal (177B) for about 25 years. It was a great airplane ....
The B models are also great planes. You were lucky to be able to own one. Thanks for watching and commenting.
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.
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.
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.
I'm a cardinal owner and will die on the hill that the cardinal is a far better aircraft but i'm also an aircraft mechanic. I've seen multiple companies over the years upgrade to cardinals for various tasks such as training and pipeline patrol and at the end of the day the 172 is a simpler, more robust aircraft. Between the fixed stabilizer, corrugated control surfaces, strut braced wing, and much more robust nose gear and forward fuselage, the 172 can take heavier beatings from heavy low level turbulence during pipeline operations, and hard landings and overstress from students honing their skills. I work on flight school 172s with over 25000hrs that are as good as new. The cardinal is a better plane but the 172 will always have its place as the rugged, reliable beater.
Beautiful aircraft
Thank you for the comment and watching our video.
Great deal compared to a clapped out 172.
Thanks for watching and the comment. It is definitely a good alternative to a 172 for a lot of people.
That tail number keeps reading to me as "too old", but what a beautiful plane as I open up a tab for trade a plane taking a look at the 177 as a possibility.
The 177 is a great option for many different purposes. We have this plane for sale, if you’re interested the link is in the description. Some tail numbers are definitely interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting.
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?
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.
I like the paint but i think the black looks out of place. N-number in Red with gold border would be nicer imo. That interior is very classy and tasteful tho, well done
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.
That’s going to make someone a very happy owner! Well done. I love the paint and interior. 👍
Thank you, we spent a lot of time designing the paint and interior, glad you like them. They really change how a plane looks when done right. Appreciate you watching and the comment.
So want to have this one....Thank you for showing....:O
You are welcome, thank you for taking time to watch and comment.
The Powerflow exhaust system makes a lot more horsepower
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.
