Default Cessna's new LSA: "Skycatcher"

Before I left today, they were at over 500 of them "sold".

And the O-200 model "D" should have "at least a 25 pound weight reduction" over previous models.
Really?

What do you think they are planning to do, to lighten it up that much? (or any)

I'd expect some tighter tolerance machinings and castings, electronic ignition versus magnetos, and higher-tech
starter and alternator.



Yes, it has no mags, and is FADEC.
