About the Cessna 172RG Cutlass
The Cessna 172RG Cutlass was built from 1980 to 1985 as a retractable-gear version of the 172. It uses a 180-horsepower Lycoming engine with a constant-speed propeller, and its familiar high-wing handling made it a favorite for commercial pilot training and for owners who want a faster 172.
Because many Cutlasses spent time in training fleets, their history varies widely from one aircraft to the next.
