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

I wouldn't touch a Cessna RG with a 10 foot pole. For that reason alone go with the Arrow. The Cessna retractable gear is poorly designed and will cause you problems. Actually wouldnt touching the door with a ten foot pole put me right under the wind of a Cardinal? On a serious note... I've had more problems with the landing gear in Arrows than in the Cardinal... but the Cardinal is super-well taken care of, what in particular makes that a poorly designed system? It seems rendundant to me and has a simple emegency extension procedure. |
