I wonder if they will use lead paint.



He he.

Why, are you planning on chewing on one?

I guess Cessna does not care about doing business with a country that
has threatened us with nuclear weapons, sells nuclear technology to
terrorist countries, uses slave labor, has an abysmal environmental
record, refuses to respect copyright and patent laws, sells child
pornography, has no respect for human rights or the rule of law, and
which would just as soon steal from Cessna as do business with them.




They're going to set up a new facility in the US?

The next question would be--why is your 1 year old chewing on the outside of
your airplane??

"... Cessna needs to deliver up to 700 SkyCatchers each year."

Interesting number - appears to be comparable to the number of RV-7 kits
that Van's Aircraft claims to ship per year (Van's magazine ads say "Two
RV-7 kits leave Van's aircraft every day to builders all over the world.")

Of course the specs for the RV-7 outclass the SkyCatcher by a wide margin.

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


The nose of the aircraft has the unmistakeable look of someone with a big nose
and squinty eyes pouting. It looks comical. The rest isn't very attractive,
either.

There are lots of ways to legally cut corners on quality.

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.


Eh. Sounds as terrible as a Maule.

So, it's sort of an airborne version of you, then.

I cannot wait for the Chinese Clones like they did with Chevy Spark and is
clone the Chery QQ and now a few other vehicles and the all so popular
Harley Davidson.

Current Clones,
Sing SUV - Nissan X-Trail
Hongda - Honda
Shuanghuan Motors - Honda
GreatWall Motors - Toyota
Geely Merie - Toyota and Mercedes
