The difference between a 180 horsepower Arrow and a 200 horsepower Turbo Arrow is astonishing. The 180 horsepower Arrow was the biggest piece of crap I ever flew. Power off 180 was basically an autorotation, literally look down and that's where you ended up.

What was the result when you pulled the prop back?
I have 14 hours of complex (most of it was part of my commercial training), all of it in a 177RG. I like the fact that I'm different by flying a 177RG instead of the typical Cutlass or Arrow others are flying, but other than that, just as long as you remember to throw the gear down, it's just another airplane. What kind of true airpeeds do you see in an Arrow? I can get 135 KTAS out of the 177RG if I can climb up high enough, which is sometimes questionable in a 177RG. The Cardinal is a nice airplane both inside and out, but the wing isn't the best of wings out there.

I know how u feel!! I'm currently working on my instrument rating and up until the past month have only flown Piper Warriors and Skyhawks. Recently however, I've flown 2 planes thats faster and way faster than anything I've ever flown. A Cirrus SR22 and a Citation Mustang. I come back to the Cessna 172 and feel as if I'm not even moving 
heres a vid of my first complex/jet landing...

Pretty cool you were able to fly the Mustang. How is it to fly anyways? I hear it's no harder than a 310, possibly easier.

Damn, those are great prices in the Bay Area, I am doing my training out here and our Complex Arrow is $150 something wet.

You can find one for $130 wet after tax in LVK at Aheart, no membership fees either. That's the best rate I've seen on any complex in the Bay.

The Hershey bar wing isn't known for its gliding capability. When I did get into the tapered wing Arrow, the glide was like night and day different.

Think the Arrow glides like a waxed manhole cover? Try a Lance...
The Lance is the only small airplane I've flown where a power off 180 was not an option at my airport. You have a better chance in a Pitts. Our TPA is only 600 AGL mind you. We finally got it to work. But in an actual emergency it was totally unrealistic.

Bass? Sorry man, wrong site!
It'd be fun to see how well he glides too!
It's not because he bats for the other team... I just have an incredible distain for all boy bands and their members...
