Cessna 172 Skyhawk RG Cutlass History:

The Cessna 172 RG Cutlass featured a variable pitch, constant speed propeller and more powerful Lycoming O-360-F1A6 engine of 180 horsepower (130 kW). The 172RG sold for about USD$19,000 more than the standard 172 of the same year and produced an optimal cruise speed of 140 knots (260 km/h), compared to 122 knots (226 km/h) for the contemporary 160 horsepower (120 kW) version.

The 172RG did not find wide acceptance in the personal aircraft market, but was adopted by many flight schools as a complex aircraft trainer. Between 1980 and 1984 1177 RGs were built, with a small number following before production ceased in 1985. While numbered and marketed as a 172, the 172RG was actually certified on the Cessna 175 type certificate.

On the other hand With more than 43,000 delivered, the Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the best-selling, most-flown airplane ever. Maybe that's because of its proven reliability. Or its forgiving flight characteristics. Or its reputation as the safest general aviation aircraft ever built. Because not only is the Skyhawk the most direct route to fulfilling your dreams of flight, it's also an ideal instrument trainer and one of the world's truly great airplanes. And with 180 horsepower attached to a high-performance McCauley propeller with polished chrome spinner, the Skyhawk SP climbs faster and cruises at a greater speed than the original Skyhawk.

The Skyhawk continues to build on its legacy as one of the most advanced single-engine aircraft in the sky with features such as the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit. From discovery flight to solo to certification, more pilots have launched their dreams in a Skyhawk than in any other aircraft. And because the Skyhawk is certified for VFR and IFR training, it’s the perfect trainer no matter where you are on your journey to pilothood. The Skyhawk SP’s flexibility for loading and flight planning invites you to bring more along – with a useful load of over 800 pounds of passengers and gear.
