Does the Robotow fit?

Confirm with us: the Cessna 177 Cardinal and 177RG.

Confirm with us.

Confirm with us. We have not confirmed the Cessna 177 Cardinal or the 177RG yet. Send two photos of your nose gear, one from the front and one from the side at axle height, tell us whether yours is the fixed-gear 177 or the 177RG, and we will tell you straight. With a pant on the nose wheel, it does not fit.

Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm Eastern

Why

The Cardinal is not confirmed on any Robotow adapter yet, fixed gear or RG.

Our Cessna adapters split by nose gear. The Cessna 1 adapter fits the 150, 172, fixed-gear 182 and 206. The Cessna 5 adapter fits the retractable 182RG and the 210. We have not confirmed which, if either, fits the fixed-gear 177 or the 177RG, so we answer the Cardinal one airplane at a time. With a pant on the nose wheel, it does not fit.

What to send us

  • Fixed-gear 177 or 177RG, and the year.
  • One photo of the nose gear straight on from the front, and one from the side at axle height.
  • If your 177 has a nose pant, take the photos with it off.
  • The nose tire size, printed on the side of the tire.

What to do instead

Send the photos from the contact page, or call 419-331-0371.

On the Cessna side, two families fit today. The 150, 172, 182 and 206 fit on the Cessna 1 adapter: see that page. The 182RG and 210 fit on the Cessna 5 adapter: see that page. If you plan to keep the nose pant on, read the wheel pants answer first.

Questions pilots ask

Does the Cessna 1 adapter fit a Cardinal?

We have not confirmed it. The Cessna 1 adapter is listed for the 150, 172, fixed-gear 182 and 206. Send photos and we will check the 177 against it.

Is the 177RG the same answer as the 182RG?

Not yet. The 182RG takes the Cessna 5 adapter. The 177RG is not confirmed on it, so it stays Confirm with us until we see yours.
