Great videos! Love my Cardinal.
Thank you, they are great planes, I am glad you have one to enjoy.
Thank you for making this video.
You make it sound so simple.
Thanks for the vid.
I tried to explain it simply. Thanks for watching the video
Awesome videos as always! First time seeing an autopilot servo motor test on video! Thank you! Beautiful bird, I’m definitely partial to the C177 and liked the systems on this one
Thank you. Even though most people don't do it, testing the autopilot is part of the preflight for most models (although some models can't be easily tested on the ground like those with vacuum operated servos).
Great video
Thanks
please try and get into a 177 RG that will be amazing. showing some landings and soft field landings and a review. thanks allot
We will soon
Hi !
Thanks for the video. I see that you’re using the HDG mode to track the GPS. When is it best to use HDG instead of TRK to track the GPS ?
Thanks !
There are differences between autopilots and even the way some autopilots are connected to different GPS that are installed in the plane so each plane needs to be looked at to see the best method. You can usually find good information on when to use each mode in the flight supplement for the autopilot/plane and the user manuals of the autopilot.
I like this Cardinal. Is it fitted with ADS-B that had to be fitted by Feb 2020: if flying in remote (not required)? Required in B,C, D, E airspace.
* were you flying in the magenta circle on the sectional chart?
🇭🇲🌏🤔
ADS-B required for above 10,000ft MSL and in class C, B airspace. It is not required in G and E. So you can fly and land at those airports without ADS-B including Delta
@@aerolife1646 Thank you. The way ADS-B has been promoted in GA: 'you don't sit in a plane without one'.
🅾⁉
@@johnfitzpatrick2469 Actually ADSB is very useful to have even though it is not required for some flights. It makes a safer flight. You can see other traffic ( with ADS-B in) and others can see you. You can get real-time weather and other important inflight info.
Has this plane sold yet?
Great video! I left my phone number with you.
Thanks. I'll make sure someone from our company reaches out to you.
I am jo Thailand
Hi Jo, welcome to the channel.
I'm an Archer owner who's long ogled the Cardinal. How do they compare? I've never flown the Cardinal, so I don't have any experience with it. Thanks!
They are fairly comparable depends on the Archer model. Cardinals have the largest cabin for its class and easy to get in and out.
The STEC 30 in our Cardinal B keeps chasing the heading bug from left to right, back and forth, it won't hold it centered. Have you ever heard of this or know what to do about it? :)
I was just up in another Cardinal with an STEC 30 that handled just fine. I have experienced that in single axis autopilots before. Might need a systems check.
@@aerolife1646 thank you!
Didn’t the (highly-respected) Editors of Aviation Consumer Magazine mention recently that the Skylane is nose-heavy? Juss Sayin’ (don’t yell at me all you Lurkers, please).
That is a different plane. Skylane is Cessna 182. This is Cessna 177
