According to this mornings WSJ, Cessna's Pelton is quoted as saying that
by building the Skycatcher in China, the cost is $71k less than it would
cost to build in the USA.
I wonder how much of that is liability insurance and how much is labor?

What does a new C172 go for these days? Just over $200,00-$225,000? So the
Skycatcher if built in the states would have been close to $200,000?
