What is the difference between a Cessna 172 and 177?
The 177 weighs a little more than a 172 with similar engine, but response in turbulence is about the same. 177 has a stabilator, and it is a bit less stable in pitch. The 177, however, has the nicest roll handling of any single-engine Cessna.

Why did Cessna stop making the 172?
Cessna also built 172s in France when it acquired an interest in Reims Aviation in 1960, stopped production entirely in 1986 due to the high cost of liability, and resumed production in Independence, Kansas, 10 years later, after the General Aviation Revitalization Act became law.
Does the Cessna Cardinal have retractable gear?
The Cardinal RG is a single engine retractable gear aircraft with four seats, a range of about 800 miles (with reserves) per 60 gallon tank of gas and a cruise speed of about 170 MPH (143 knots). I do my own engine, airframe and avionics maintenance as much as possible, with inspections and legal signoffs.
