The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. First flown in 1955, more 172s have been built than any other aircraft. It was developed from the 1948 Cessna 170 but with tricycle landing gear rather than conventional landing gear. The Skyhawk name was originally used for a trim package, but was later applied to all standard-production 172 aircraft, while some upgraded versions were marketed as the Cutlass, Powermatic, and Hawk XP. The aircraft was also produced under license in France by Reims Aviation, which marketed upgraded versions as the Reims Rocket.
Measured by its longevity and popularity, the Cessna 172 is the most successful aircraft in history. Cessna delivered the first production model in 1956, and as of 2015, the company and its partners had built more than 44,000 units.[1][4][5] With a break from 1986–96, the aircraft remains in production today.
A light general aviation airplane, the Skyhawk's main competitors throughout its lifetime have been the Beechcraft Musketeer and Grumman American AA-5 series (neither currently in production), the Piper PA-28 Cherokee,[6] and, more recently, the Diamond DA40 Star and Cirrus SR20.
Hello! I spent 5 days working on this model trying my best to replicate it to perfection so I hope you like it!
Controls:
Ag1: Engine start
Ag2: Lights
Trim: Flaps
All the other buttons and switches are for realistic look and dont actually do anything but you can still use them as if they were the real thing. Alright, hope you enjoy, have a good day! (Or night idk where u are lol)

It's Cessna time, bois
@Karroc9522 me: when i see a notification from the website
Thanks to everyone who has supported me to this point. Couldn't have done it without you!
@MA2211c wow that is just sad
Only if the downloads said 172 but no it says 176 😔
@Karroc9522 yeah sure
@crazyplaness sorry if I'm being a nuisance. Can I tag u on an unlisted new version to see if it is better now? Sorry again for bothering you so much
@crazyplaness oh ok, I'll fix that up. Thanks for the info
@Karroc9522 both I think? I tested it a whole ago. It looks like yoke too low
@YarisSedan idk. Honestly surprised it only got 12 upvotes. Glad you like it!
oh my gosh how didn't i notice this before?
@crazyplaness oh, ok. I can try to fix that then. So make the seat closer to the front or move the parts close together? (Or both idk)
@Karroc9522 the cockpit was too big if I remember. I don’t like stretching very much.
@Karroc9522 @crazyplaness (;;^^)
@ChaseRacliot I think it was rejected
@crazyplaness can you make it curated?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover any idea why this isn't curated? The F-9 got curated but this hasn't yet. Do I need to repost or smthn?
@Siis
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
WE ARE COOKED!!!!
@ChaseRacliot @Karroc9522
For better or worse, yes, you are not alone...
Here's hoping SP2 kickstarts things. If it doesn't it might be Joever for us...
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
(_ _)
@TheUltimatePlaneLover at least is isn't just me
@ChaseRacliot I would love to think that, but alarming thing is that it's been going on since summer break. Everyone said it would get better in mid-September, but I didn't really see any change. Thankfully none for the worse, but unfortunately none for the better either...
@TheUltimatePlaneLover maybe cause of school
@Karroc9522 If I'm being honest, I've noticed upvote and download counts have been dreadfully low lately. Maybe it's just me, but still...
