A C150 Aerobat is NOT just a C150 with some fancy letters nailed
after its name.

It has a beefier structure with the higher G limits that the
beefier structure deserves.

An untrained, unskilled pilot attempting aerobatic maneuvers in
an airplane not certified for same could easily exceed the normal
category G limits for which the airframe is certified, esp. if the
maneuver goes a bit awry.

This might not hurt the goofus in question, but it might cause hidden
structural damage or stress to the aircraft which would set up another
pilot, flying within the envelope, for structural failure.

The polite way to express my opinion is, I don't think that's a very
ethical way to behave.  Fly acro in an aerobatic plane if you need
to set booby traps for others stick a pail full of water over your
boss's door so the consequence of your actions reflects on you.
