Detailed Description

A rare retractable-gear Cardinal offering cruise speeds well above the fixed-gear 177, powered by a Lycoming IO-360 with a Hartzell 3-blade prop conversion and roughly 550 hours SMOH. The panel is IFR-equipped with GPS navigation, autopilot, and ADS-B Out already installed. Backed by decades of continuous, well-documented maintenance under a small group of A&Ps/IAs, with current AD compliance including the wing spar carry-thru inspection. A capable, ready-to-fly Cardinal RG - pre-purchase inspection welcomed.

Remarks

Long, unbroken maintenance chain with a small number of A&Ps/IAs over 30+ years
