I brownsed the gallery. That's got to be the ugilest Cessna ever.

As far as being built in China, I'm all for Globalization.

I have to say, none of those new LSAs look very good at all. HAving said
that, I haven't flown one, so I really ought to see what one will do

I have flown two - the Allegro and the Sport Cruiser.

I didn't care much for the Allegro. The one I flew had a very stiff
rudder - so stiff that once you depressed a rudder pedal it stayed there
unless you pressed the opposite one to manually re-center the rudder.

The Sport Cruiser was very nice. It was quiet and relatively fast, and also
handled very well I thought. The interior was also roomy and comfortable.
If I was in the market for an LSA I would definitely consider the Sport
Cruiser. Right now though I'd rather have an RV-4...

Rudder trim? We don't need no stinkin' rudder trim!

Eh. Sounds as terrible as a Maule.

I wonder if it has ball bearing pulleys, and if there are any other places
that the friction could be reduced?

It seems like it could be, and needs to be improved, surely.

Not that what I think matters, but I think that the 150/2s are great
looking, even better looking than the 172s. Doesn't the 150/2s
qualify for LSA status? I would sonner buy them over the new one and
just use the balance to fully pimp it out(zero time engine, new prop,
new interior and paintjob, new toys for the panel...etc.), but that's
just me.

Nope. Too heavy.

That was one of my major complaints about the new (was new) LSA rule. IMO,
the rule should have had a high enough weight limit that the 152 was light
enough to qualify.

Shame that. I really like the C150/2s. I'll still try to save up for
one anyways.
