About the 172RG

The Cessna 172RG Cutlass is a fixed-wing light aircraft designed to suit personal and utility flying needs. The basic layout accommodates up to four seats with a single engine.

Tracing its lineage to the Cessna 175 Skylark and the wider R172 series, the aircraft type evolved through various iterations including military liaisons and European-built variants. A version featuring retractable landing gear was offered in the early part of the decade, but ultimately suffered from poor sales and was discontinued.
