Bingo! You nailed it on certified aircraft. I sold my 172 and started an RV-10 build because I tired of paying to have things fixed I could do myself. Good idea in the beginning, but I should have kept my 172 until I finished. Renting to stay proficient has been a nightmare. Reality has hit me. I've come to the conclusion that it'll be several years before the RV-10 is done. I'm now looking to get back into certified. 177's, 182's and cherokee 235's are on my short list.

Definitely pros and cons to both, I think once my experimental is done I will not miss certified (unless New) :).

This is a Beautiful 177 RG Cardinal that I saw that was for sale

[@AeroworksProductions]

Appreciate it. yes we purchased it back in 2022. Not currently for sale.

I’ve owned several aircraft, by far my 72 Cardinal RG is my favorite. A little more maintenance & insurance, but handles better, more comfortable, a bit faster at altitude on much less fuel, and looks classier than my 182. Needs more runway though, and can’t pack the weight of the 182.

[@AeroworksProductions]

Yes its definitely a much overlooked aircraft when it comes to comfort and efficiency.

I feel your pain. We bought a musketeer and have almost spent the purchase price in MX. corrosion being the main culprit.

This is one of my favorite Cessna' 177 rg

[@AeroworksProductions]

Mine too :)

[@Aidan_Andrews]

Great information! Thank you, Adam!

[@Joe-uo9wv]

I have a 73rg and this plane for me checks all the boxes. I have lots of time in a 182rg and hands down my rg is so much better.

[@AeroworksProductions]

Which RG is better?

[@JW-gb6hq]

👍

[@trickedouttech321]

This is one of my favorite Cessna' most pilots don't like them I love the 177RG 200-210HP

[@AeroworksProductions]

Mine too.

May I know if starlink wifi is workable during flight ? I’m looking to sign up starlink here in Malaysia so I can make live streaming during my long flight on Diamond 62 from borneo to peninsula part of Malaysia. Looking forward on your reply 🙏

[@AeroworksProductions]

I know they are working on a system for aircraft, not sure the status of it as of right now though.

[@Shukri-fb5jc]

@@AeroworksProductions thanks for your reply. Have you try the current starlink use during flight on Cessna ?

[@AeroworksProductions]

@@Shukri-fb5jc No but I use it in my Tesla when I travel.

[@Shukri-fb5jc]

@@AeroworksProductions it’s works sir in Tesla ? Starlink just received license to operate in Malaysia and I will sign up soon. Does the the Starlink receive can be light on USB port ?

[@trickedouttech321]

You purchased this from Areo right?

[@AeroworksProductions]
