Cessna's new LSA: "Skycatcher"
"Ken Finney" wrote in message ... "Morgans" wrote in message ... "Ken Finney" wrote And the O-200 model "D" should have "at least a 25 pound weight reduction" over previous models. Really? What do you think they are planning to do, to lighten it up that much? (or any) I'd expect some tighter tolerance machinings and castings, electronic ignition versus magnetos, and higher-tech starter and alternator. Continental had one on display at OSH. It had numerous changes that saved weight. Starter and alternator are probably worth 15 pounds alone. Oil tank was lightweight also.
