Introduced in 1971, the light, single-engine Cessna 177RG Cardinal was developed as a competitor to the Piper Cherokee Arrow and the Beechcraft Sierra. The aircraft was installed with a Lycoming IO-360 engine, which paired with the much cleaner lines of the Cessna 177RG Cardinal had resulted in a significant increase of the aircrafts cruise speed, which was now 147 kn. Another particular difference from its competitors was the small air brake formed behind the propellers once opening the gear door, achieved by the rear-folding nose gear.
Red Box is pleased to offer a great range of ground power equipment for this aircraft, including tugs, ground power units, start power units and more, which are perfectly suited to the requirements of the Cessna 177Rg Cardinal aircraft.
