Building it in China, OH JOY! I would think this would be a negative.

Cessna has chosen the Chinese-government owned Shenyang Aircraft
Corp. to build the Model 162 Skycatcher. Earlier this week, Cessna
announced it would be building the Light Sport Aircraft offshore. In
a news release, Cessna CEO Jack Pelton said the company needed top
quality at a competitive price and SAC put it all together. "Our
solution is to partner with SAC, a company with excellent facilities,
state-of-the-art technologies and a workforce highly experienced in
aircraft manufacturing. SkyCatcher customers will get an advanced
design, high-quality workmanship and world-class product support, all
at an affordable price from Cessna, a brand known and trusted
worldwide." The move, coupled with Cessna's acquisition of Columbia
Aircraft has dominated Cessna's profile in recent months as it
continues to pile up record sales for its business jets.


I'd demand my deposit back.
