Background The Cessna 177 was designed in the mid-1960s by asking the engineers at Cessna to create a "futuristic 1970s successor to the Cessna 172". The new aircraft featured newer technology and a cantilevered wing with a laminar-flow airfoil. The cantilevered beam (green) hangs out into open space from its supporing structure (blue). ...
The 1968 model 177 was initially underpowered with only 150 hp. It had other problems such as a tendency to experience tail stalls. Compared to the 172, it sold relatively poorly. The 177A was a 1968 revision with 180 hp that moved the design's price and role somewhere between that of the 172 and 182. 1970 saw the introduction of the 177B, which had a new wing airfoil, a constant-speed propeller, and other minor improvements.

The final version in the 177 line was the retractable-gear 177RG, which Cessna began producing in 1971 as a direct competitor to the Piper PA-28-200R Cherokee Arrow. The RG also had a 200 hp engine to offset the hydraulic gear's extra weight. The models built after 1971 were far better than the earlier models, but by then the Cardinal had a poor reputation and did not sell well. While not a failure, the 177 was not a success by Cessna's standards, and both the 177B and 177RG ceased production in 1978. The model's higher price and minor quirks — like larger cabin doors which gusts of wind could rip off — allowed the 172 to retain its popularity in the general aviation market. The undercarriage or landing gear is equipment which supports an aircraft when it is not flying. ...

Today both the 177 and 177RG are considered desirable aircraft to own, mostly because of the large doors which offer easy entry, reasonable performance and the aircraft's attractive looks.
The Cessna 177 and 177RG family of along with the other Cessna single and twin-engined aircraft are supported by several active aircraft type clubs, including The Cessna Pilots Association and the Cardinal Flyers Online. Aircraft type clubs exist to provide information and support to a single aircraft type or a group of aircraft types from the same manufacturer or family of aircraft. ...
