1976 Cessna 177RGSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1976 Cessna 177RG Cardinal (N7751V) presents a well-equipped IFR platform with a solid maintenance history and useful performance characteristics. The airframe shows 5,759 total hours, while the Lycoming IO-360-A1B6D engine has only 491 hours since its 2009 overhaul by G&N Aircraft, well below its 2,000-hour TBO. The aircraft cruises at approximately 150 knots while burning 10 gph, offering nearly 1,000 lbs of useful load supported by its 61-gallon fuel capacity. Notable features include the Garmin 430W WAAS GPS with ADS-B Out via a uAvionix TailBeacon, complemented by a King KX-155 Nav/Comm and GMA-340 audio panel for capable IFR operations.

The aircraft bears a 2010 gear-up landing incident with minor belly skin damage properly documented in logs (though logbooks prior to 2004 are missing). It features several STC modifications including Cleveland wheels/brakes, Sky-Tec starter, and SVS-V standby vacuum system. The exterior sports a Matterhorn White paint scheme with navy and gray accents, while the interior showcases blue cloth seating with matching side panels and gray carpets. The Cardinal's practical design includes easy cabin access through its 90-degree door opening and low seating profile, making it a comfortable four-place aircraft. The McCauley two-blade propeller completes this well-balanced package.
