This upgraded plane flew a fast 160 knots and super slow to only 8 knots in a single flight.
This airplane is for sale. You can see the full video and the details in the website link below

It is rare to see these speeds in a single plane, especially at lower altitudes. There are nice upgrades in the plane to fly faster and slower. We also landed in 17-25 knot gusting crosswind.
These Cardinal videos are addictive. Makes me want one. Would be my first choice among certified airplanes. I used to make fun of them.... lots of undeserved bad press had clouded my judgement. That said, if I ever own a plane it is more likely to be an experimental. Sonex High Wing top of that list. Similar to the Wittman Tailwind, but fully it's own design. Looks something like a..... Cardinal. 😊, except much smaller. Cardinal would no doubt be more comfortable, arguably better than the Skylane I used to rent. If it were in my budget, a B model, or even an A model would work remarkably well for what I have in mind.
This is amazing
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite aviation channels. Looking to get my hands on a cardinal rg and making serious mods. That’s about two years away after I get my instrument rating.
Appreciate your comment. Glad you are enjoying the channel. Cardinal RG is a really good IFR platform. Good choice
Thanks for another vid on the Cardinal. My wife has had hers for 8 years and loves it.
You're welcome, thank you for watching our videos. The Cardinal was my first plane, I loved mine as well.
Thanks for this upload Did my license en a cardinal 177 and have to admit that this little airplane is one of the greatest in is category.
You are welcome, thank you for watching
I'm seriously impressed. Have numerous hours in an RG. No performance like that, but, a fun plane to fly. Great video !!
Thank you for the comment, glad you enjoyed
You do such great job! Keep the fantastic videos coming!
Thank you for watching, will do.
Very impressive Cardinal. And great video as usual.
Thank you, appreciate your comment
Great channel and aircraft descriptions, keep it up :)
Thank you, we will do our best.
Is the 177B still for sale. I love your detailed videos.
The STOL kit adds drag and typically slows top speeds, the speed mods help get it back.
Could you share any specifics if you have on that? I haven't seen anything in the STCs about speed penalties.
@@aerolife1646 Horton & Bush kits 1)increase wing area ,2) blunt the wing leading edge, 3) large VGs complete the drag Trifecta. Mine had Bush kit on when I bought it so I don't have before & after.
Great video. What year is this cardinal? And what is the asking $?
Yep, with a strong enough wind, even a a jet can go backwards. I did it once in a T-37. No GPS in that jet, but I pointed it into the wind toward the base (which had a TACAN), got dirty, and watched the DME increase.
That sounds like a fun time
@@aerolife1646 the Tweet was a blast to fly.
What stall kit is on the airplane?
What is the normal cruise and top speed of this plane?
What's the normal Cruise speed of this plant with all the modifications?
WIth the 160kt ground speed, what was your indicated speed and TAS?
