a 177RG does not land like a 172RG... the nose is heavier.. if chop the
throttle at the flare.. or if you think your high and chop the power.. be
prepared for the nose to drop..

the slots in the 177B stabulator is to help the tail stall problem with
full nose high flares at slow speeds.. properly flown.. a 177 can be fun

Hi,

Our club just put a 177RG (1971) on line. I have a bunch of 172RG time
(and
Arrow and Duchess too). Apart from the wing further back, stabilator,
slots
on the tail, and VGs, anything I should know about flying a Cardinal?
I've
heard stories about tail-stalls on landing and porposing, but are those
just
horror stories and/or have they been solved with the slots and VGs?

Thanks!

Hilton
