"Aerobatics Prohibited" (in most cases)
Danny
I think I see that the owners of this Cardinal have spiffed-up the interior by re-covering the seats with leather upholstery, which always enhances a cabin IMHO. I was surprised to not see a diagonal shoulder harness in use (as fitted to most of the light A/C of my acquaintance). Full harness is usually found only in fully aerobatic A/C these days, which, are few and far between, probably 10% (or less) of the UK general aviation fleet. Cessna beefed-up the airframes of their hugely successful 150/152 trainers and designated them 150/152 "Aerobats" and they have full harness. I did my first loop in one of those (G-AYOZ) in 1971.
