Cessna is rationing their LSA very strictly. Each dealer gets exactly one!
If you want a Cessna LSA you AND your dealer, apparently, have to go to
Oshkosh with a $10,000 deposit one week before the show and meet with a
Cessna representative. There are no hotel rooms available and Cessna will
not provide you with one, so you are on your own there. Cessna says the
LSA will be less than $100,000.

For your deposit you get on a list for delivery, perhaps in 2008.

Allowing for some late '07 production startup issues, I wouldn't expect to
see many before 2008, anyway.

Hey! It's the american way...

I see the LSA as the long-awaited replacement for the 152. It will be a
training airplane par excellence.

Of course, I will still prefer the 172, and so will most of my
customers. But for the young guys, the LSA can get you into the air for
a lot less money.
