Cardinal 177 - Backcountry Pilot
Feb 22, 2011 · Cessna designed it to replace the Skyhawk, but it's an entirely different plane than the 172. With the wing moved aft 14" and the stabilator, it flies and feels very different. In an effort to appease Cessna dealers who couldn't fly the Cardinal, Cessna changed (ruined) the Cardinal over time. Eventually, it was dropped. Too bad.
Cessna 175 O470 - Backcountry Pilot
Mar 3, 2008 · Tim, for some reason the FAA site has two links for Cessnas. One says Cessna Aircraft Company and the other says THE Cessna Aircraft Company.

Path to Experimental Cessna... - Backcountry Pilot
Feb 11, 2014 · There's a Cessna / Cub mishmash under construction which proves the point. Obviously my memory is hazy on how they are doing it, but there is a way.

Cardinal 177 - Page 2 of 2 - Backcountry Pilot
Oct 10, 2014 · I think if Cessna had put a say IO470 with 260hp in the airplane, it really would have been bad ass, but really im not overly impressed with its performance. It lands much differently than a Cessna with strut braced wings, as well as a Cessna that doesnt have a stabilator. My honest opinions of the plane.
