And all that together, in my view, shows a failure of Cessna rather
than a success. It's still great that they might(!) enter those
markets, but the presentation was underwhelming to me in that it was
too little too late and no firm commitment.

It does look like Cessna is coming late to the party in both the LSA and the
"Cirrus Killer" arena. Another company showing up late to the LSA party is
Van's. They've had the RV-12 on the drawing board since before I started
building my 601 back in 2002 and they have yet to get a kit to market much
less a completed S-LSA.

Piper it seems isn't going to come and play in either sandbox and are
counting on Honda's VLJ to make them relevant. Good luck with that.
