I've never flown a 172RG. Does it have a variable pitch prop?


It's a mini C-210... in everything but carrying capacity. Retractable
gear, constant speed prop, cowl flaps, rudder trim. I always thought
they were nice flying and they're quicker than a normal C-172. Given
the OP's choices between the older RG and the newer SP, I'd pick the
RG every time... unless one's a dog and the other one isn't. But a RG
in good condition is good flying.




?? Really? I flew a few of them brand new from the factory and wondered why
they bothered.
