Default Cessna 162

Anybody got any info on when it'll be in production. Having a sticker price of 108 grand makes me think people will pick it up quick and flight schools will be all over it.

I thought Cessna was aiming for >100k? Either way, a brand new glass cockpit plane that hits 110 knots? Hard to beat.

300# with max fuel can barely carry some pilots

Less than always points to the left and greater than points to the right.

They have it spec'd at 118 so it falls just under the LSA limit of 120. I wouldn't doubt if it went a tad faster.

I think this will be a great little plane. I just think Cessna should of stuck with traditional yokes. All of their other personal planes are yoke based. Seems logical for this one to be as well, guess not.

The Diamonds are like that, I sat in one once and it felt like you were really low down in the seat... kinda lowrider style. Then you adjust the pedals to move foward or back until you can reach them
