1975 Cessna 177RGSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1975 Cessna 177RG (N2740V) presents as a well-equipped Cardinal RG with 3,395 total airframe hours and a 200 HP Lycoming IO-360-A1B6D engine showing 1,220 hours since major overhaul. The aircraft features a comprehensive avionics suite including dual King KX-155 nav/coms (one with glideslope), Garmin 660 GPS, King KT-79 digital transponder, Sky Beacon ADS-B Out, and a Garmin 340 audio panel with 4-place intercom. Notable maintenance highlights include compliance with the spar AD in March 2023 via eddy current inspection (no defects found) and new windows/windshield included uninstalled with the sale.

The airframe shows a clean inspection history with the next annual due September 2025, complete logs, and current hangarage at KVTA. While the Cessna 300A autopilot is inoperative, the aircraft benefits from 60-gallon fuel tanks, wingtip strobes, EGT gauge, and pilot articulating seat. A 1979 gear-up incident was fully repaired. With 18 hours on the McCauley prop and fresh glass available for installation, this Cardinal RG offers solid IFR capability and useful upgrades for its mission profile.
