Default Skycather's not TOO ugly, just needs tailwheel

What composite construction. The Skycatcher is an aluminum airplane,
except for the composite engine cowling.

Really, it's a warmed over C-150 (which is itself a warmed over C-140)
with reduced gross weight to meet the LSA restrictions. I can't
imagine spending over 100 big ones on it.
