Good luck with your choice!
Good luck with your choice....... I logged a lot of grass-field time on Piper and Cessna singles..... but I'd never choose to invest in a 177 Cardinal! (I have never known an aircraft type so prone to undercarriage problems... never...not one!!) In 15,200 hours I experienced undercarriage problems on 3 occasions.. and all were different 177s. Good luck! bm
