First Cessna Skycatcher arrives in Wichita from China

Well, it may bother me a little bit that the plane is from China, but for the sake of keeping the purchase price down, I think thats a good reason to make it in China. Do you want the Skycatcher to be even MORE EXPENSIVE to buy than it is now?

I think it should be taxed so much (as an import) that it's more expensive than it would be if it were made in the US.

Give companies a reason to hire American workers to sell their American made products in America.

...then Americans would have money and we could afford to spend it on expensive two seat single engine trainers.

Is it just me or does everyone in the aviation community hates the Skycatcher?

Other than the fact I havnt seen any indication that they have figured out the spin issue completely and I personally need to see more before I'll believe its forgiving enough and safe for training and/or LSA pilots...the 152 is proven the skycatcher isn't

As long as its not painted with that led paint they like in China, I think it will be OK. I can't wait to fly it. It's gotta be better then that Tecnam Bravo I flew once. Never got in that plane again.

Sweet, LED paint? Can you make the entire right side glow green, and the left red? Talk about being visible.



:D
 
Does it say made in China on the instrument panel?

When is Walmart going to start selling them?
 
I just do not like how myself (200 lbs) and an instructor will have to sacrifice fuel if we go fly it. Rather be in 152.

By the way, any word lately on the 172/182 replacement. Last I heard about it was quite some time ago.

I fly the Traumahawk with my students with fuel at the tabs. Only so much that you can get from 112 hp!
 
When I ask this, I am being completely serious. In the past, you have posted many, many threads about changing the law or getting around the law to allow you to fly LSA or other aircraft. You have posted that you have several medical conditions that are disqualifying, and have also discussed other social disorders that netted you some severe punishment in high school.

There were many members here who tried to reach out to you about getting your health issues solved first, and then maybe try to go fly. This post, along with the flight time in your profile are somewhat worrying to me.

I'm hoping for the sake of your safety and those around you that you are not pursuing your LSA license to get around the system that would otherwise disqualify you.

If I have interpreted your post and intentions wrong, my apologies. If I am spot on, please revisit your past posts in the medical forum and look upon all the advice given there.

Regards,

Jpax
