CESSNA LSA

According to AvWeb, Cessna says they are going to have a hard time
producing their LSA for under $100,000.
That's not going to sell well.
Then again, I may be wrong!

The blurbs I've been reading say if they can't get to the magic
$100K, they aren't going to produce it.

One thing I read said they weren't intending to certify it as an LSA. They'd go
for Normal category (thus making it more compatible with FBO operations) but
ensure it met the Sport Pilot limitations.

Yeah, but at a much reduced payload.

Yeah, I really meant the parrot which is about 115 knots with 120 hp.
