Cessna Greenlights LSA

I sat in one at the AOPA clambake last fall at Palm Springs. It's
seems really well built, comfy, great vis and can be very well
equipped. The dealer on hand flew this particular plane from Texas.
IIRC, the gentleman who climbed in and taxied it out for the Parade Of
Planes back to the airport was (putting it nicely) "a couple of
biscuits over average" and he didn't appear to be cramped or
uncomfortable at all.

It is wider than a 152, by 7 big inches, at 46 1/2 inches.

One of the other new LSA has a 49 1/2 inch wide cockpit, but I don't remember
which one.

I'll bet that Cessna's new LSA has a good width, to accommodate US pilot's
increased girths.
