Aviation consumer had an article on the Cardinals recently. They along
with many others agree that the Cardinal is one of the best looking
singles ever produced. Agreed that beauty is in the eye and all, but a
Cardinal RG in flight with the gear tucked is to me the sexiest looking
single in the air, period. They have easy controls and are about as
much "truck like" as a bicycle. One of the best flying singles too.
Many reviewers call it the Cessna that doesn't fly like a Cessna.

Where did you get this from??? I have been flying a Cardinal for years
(and just purchased a Cardinal RG) and they fly wonderfully; far nicer
than a 172 for instance. Looks are in the eye of the beholder, but I
think Cardinals are beautiful.
