Default Cessna's new LSA: "Skycatcher"

Seems fairly common. The new Cessna looks great but that heavy
engine is stealing useful payload.



It ism't just the engine that is heavy. That plane is at least 100 lbs over
weight and that ain't all engine. The all glass panel should have produced
some weight savings. But it looks like they spent that to.
