I'm at 25 hours...does flying the Cessna count towards the 45 hours minimum? I assume it does, in which case it gives me exposure to another a/c type and allows me to do 'aerobatics'.
Hardly aerobatics,though if it is an Aerobatic you can do a few (and yes, the hours count) but yes still fun though the C152 would not be my choice for spin training, in fact I need an aircraft to spin train my RV7 group members on (cleared for Aeros but not deliberate spinning) and will not use the 152 for this as it tends to recover with no pilot input.
