IMHO, The best thing about Cessna getting into the LSA market is not the
aircraft they will produce. The more important aspect is that it lends a

...and will generate a nice healthy batch of used ~ 100 HP engines for the small
homebuilders to install. A-65s are getting pretty long in the tooth.

The one in the T-Cart I used to fly was built in 1939.

Still runs just fine.


Mine's a 1946. Just finished regrinding the crank. Getting
plenty tired otherwise.
