Looking at their product page it'll be $23 unless they decide to charge more as it's two models the (C177B and C177RG), but should come in at under $30 either way

Gosh that Cardinal is a good looking plane! Have you got the A2A C172 or PA-28, how does the 177 compare?

Sorry Chris I haven't got any A2A planes...but I can say I've had the Cardinal since its release and all looks good, there does seem to be a problem when any change is prop RPM occurs, I've put a ticket in and they say they are on to it...more to follow....

Cheers for now

I had read about the prop RPM issue, it's a problem that's common to any aircraft that uses FSX's default propeller simulation but seems especially bad on the Alabeo Cardinal videos I've seen on YouTube. I might hold fire on purchasing until it's fixed because I know what Careando/Alabeo support is like  :-\
