Description
1968 Cessna 177 N280JG This plane flies very true and straight. I credit the Power Flow exhaust for incredible fuel economy. On cross country flights I have achieved as low as 7 gph with an average of around 7.5 give or take. I have a fair amount of time in a 182, and it would be fair to say the Cardinal has the same cruise speed on a little over half the fuel of the 182. Also the very big doors make loading rear seat passengers extremely easy. The log books are complete from day one, and very neatly organized in binders. The plane will come with a fresh annual. Plus, spar inspection 2 years ago showed spar to be in perfect condition.

Recommended avionics upgrades
No IFR GPS navigator is listed — a GTN 650Xi is the standard entry point for WAAS/LPV capability.
See prices & suppliers ›No autopilot is listed — a GFC 500 (or S-TEC 3100 / Trio Pro Pilot where the GFC isn't STC'd) adds a modern digital autopilot with envelope protection, subject to model approval.
See prices & suppliers ›Suggestions are based on the panel described in this listing; verify STC approval for this make/model before any installation.
