This Cessna 172Q Cutlass is a very rare, fixed-gear cross-country cruiser produced from 1983 to 1985.
It pairs the classic Skyhawk airframe with a high-powered 180-HP Lycoming engine, offering a max gross weight of 2,550 lbs and a 122-knot cruise speed, yielding solid payload and range.
Key Specifications & Performance
Engine: Lycoming O-360-A4N
Max Gross Weight: 2,550 lbs
Empty Weight: 1,480 - 1,560
Useful Load: 1,070
Cruise Speed: 122 knots - 140 mph
Fuel Capacity: 62-gallon long-range option
Rate of Climb: 680 feet per minute
Operating Considerations
The "Cutlass" Tag: Cessna marketed the Q-model with the "Cutlass" name to associate it with the retractable-gear 172RG, but the Q-model features fixed landing gear.
Balance Sensitivity: While the 172Q provides a hefty useful load, it is noticeably more sensitive to aft center of gravity (CG) limits compared to standard Skyhawks, so passenger and baggage loading must be carefully managed
LOG BOOKS LOST from 1983 - 2005. FAA signed off in 2005. Owned since 2010 and have meticulous records for 16 years.
