THE PROJECT
This Cessna 177 Cardinal interior project was a complete rework of the interior leaving only the existing plastics remaining untouched. The full extent of the interior refurbishment included the new seat covers and cushions, new floor coverings, wall linings, handles, and controls. The aircraft was completed at Generation Global’s Nelson facility where the aircraft was stripped, the interior refurbished, and re-installed. The interior parts are available on Generation Global’s online shop as a kit.

The seat cover design featured perforated inserts and decorative stitching to match the sidewall colours. The front single seats feature an embossed Cessna logo on the upper backrest.

The lower sidewall carpet sections include a concealed pocket. The armrests and details are covered with charcoal grey leather to match the seats. Click here to see full photos & summary.
