Getting an inkling on why Cessna is going to certify its new LSA in *normal*
category, not SLSA? :-)


The fact is that Cessna would be better off just to make the airplane
everyone wants-a 150 hp 150 Aerobat with gear hardpoints for tricycle
or conventional gear (or floats)-and leave LSA alone. Like CB radio,
LSA is going to turn into a quagmire.

The upside is that it will put just enough people in the air to give
them some political pull. I personally hope it turns into such a
stinking mess the FAA begs Congress to be allowed to do what would have
been the right thing anyway-expand Part 103 to 1250 lbs empty-and wash
their hands of the whole disgusting mess.

Of course, I hope the Hezzies pound the living holy **** out of the
IDF too. I'm contrarian like that.
