Description
Cessna 177RG II Cardinal Only 2,100 Hours Total Time | Complete Logs There are Cessnas—and then there is the Cardinal. Omaha Aircraft is pleased to offer this exceptionally low-time Cessna 177RG II Cardinal with just 2,100 hours total time, complete logbooks, and no damage history. The Cardinal RG occupies a special place in Cessna history. Designed as a more refined, modern alternative to the traditional Cessna single, the Cardinal features a sleek strutless cantilever wing, outstanding visibility, an exceptionally comfortable cabin, and some of the best entry and exit of any four-place piston single. Add retractable landing gear, a constant-speed propeller, and the proven 200-horsepower fuel-injected Lycoming IO-360, and the Cardinal RG becomes a remarkably capable traveling airplane—combining useful cross-country performance and efficiency with the visibility and cabin comfort pilots love about a high-wing Cessna. But perhaps what makes the Cardinal RG most special is simply the way it feels. The clean wing and responsive controls give it flying qualities unlike the more traditional Cessna singles. It is comfortable, efficient, distinctive and undeniably good-looking—an airplane equally at home traveling across the country or sitting on the ramp at your local airport. And finding a good one is becoming increasingly difficult. With only 2,100 hours since new, complete logbook history, and no damage history, this aircraft offers the kind of pedigree buyers look for when searching for a Cardinal worth owning. If you've always wanted a Cardinal RG, this is one that deserves a closer look. Highlights Only 2,100 Hours Total Time Complete Logbooks 200 HP Fuel-Injected Lycoming Constant-Speed Propeller Retractable Landing Gear Strutless Cantilever Wing Exceptional Cabin Visibility Large, Easy-Access Cabin Doors One of Cessna's Most Distinctive Single-Engine Designs 100% Bonus Depreciation available for 2026!
