Getting an inkling on why Cessna is going to certify its new LSA in
*normal*
category, not SLSA? :-)



The fact is that Cessna would be better off just to make the airplane
everyone wants-a 150 hp 150 Aerobat with gear hardpoints for tricycle
or conventional gear (or floats)-and leave LSA alone. Like CB radio,
LSA is going to turn into a quagmire.


If "quagmire" is defined as something I can buy for 1/4 of what it cost when
it was over-regulated, I'm a big fan. Also, if LSA was going to provide the
relief from the government bureacracy that CB'ers gained 25 years ago,
again, I'm for that too...

Give me quagmire!!!
