Acro, the straw that broke the Camels Back for Cessna was not Pilot Error, it was the failure of the Seat Track on a 1951 170a causing the Pilot to slide rearwards whilst holding onto the control wheel causing a stall after take off. His widow and her legal counsel sued for tens of millions and won, Cessna gave up after that case.
