The C177 RG will cost more for the same speed. Insurance will cost a
lot more. The gear is delicate on a C177, if you need to replace the
gear saddles you will spend thousands. The 182 gear is built like a
brick ****house in comparison. The 182 will cost you 1-2 gph more in
cruise. The C177 has a lot less runway performance than a 182.

Yeah, me too. My club has a 177RG. It looks so cool. What's the difference
in performance, maintainance, and operating cost between it and a 182?
