Default aerobatic C172?

I only asked about that because somewhere I read that that was a
difference on some kind of aircraft, between the aerobatic and
non-aerobatic version. So that it could better withstand the tourquing
created when rolling with a high power setting. I think it was a
Richard Collins article.

Engine mount?

Engine mounts are good for 9 Gs. Somewhere in FAR 23, I think.



FAR 23 might not apply to a 172...it's old enough.

Certainly the 1960 model is old enough. I don't remember, but didn't
Cessna bring the new ones up to FAR 23 standards?
