Tom,

We were the beholders before becoming the owners of our Cardinal.
It was much harder to locate a Cardinal than a Skyhawk or an Archer but
once we dediced it was the right plane, we kept searching (for almost 2
years) until finding one. We were first interested in the Cardinal for
its lack of struts, the two large doors and big cargo area. It was a
pleasant surprise to see that it was also a swan among its ugly
duckling siblings, the 172s.
