Default Cessna LSA -- Good Luck if you want one

Cessna is rationing their LSA very strictly. Each dealer gets exactly
one! If you want a Cessna LSA you AND your dealer, apparently, have to go
to Oshkosh with a $10,000 deposit one week before the show and meet with
a Cessna representative. There are no hotel rooms available and Cessna
will not provide you with one, so you are on your own there. Cessna says
the LSA will be less than $100,000.

For your deposit you get on a list for delivery, perhaps in 2008.


Did they settle on an engine? Last I heard,
they were still trying to decide whether it
would be Rotax or Lyc.


They got smart and decided on the Continental O-200. Market surveys said
they would sell very few if they went with the Rotax.


Any performance specs, particularly endurance
and top speed?

In any case, I'm not gonna trade my CTSW for
one.
