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.

Cool, you will be able to get replacement parts in the mower department at
Wal Mart.
