Default Cessna Cardinal 177 RG II v. Piper Arrow III (70s) v. Piper Arrow III (brand new)

No......certainly not the Cutlass RG. It was introduced after the cutoff
date(I think it was fall of 1978) for the GI bill.

The other three wouldn't exist without the GI bill students. Thousands of
these students got their commercial in the basic three trainers.

Both the Arrow and the Cardinal...........and for that matter the Sierra,
were produced for ONE reason only. 200HP, retractable gear for commercial
students.


BS.

True in the case of the Cutlass RG, perhaps; not true in the case of the
Cardinal RG.

And what's 200 hp got to do with it?
