Default Cessna's new LSA: "Skycatcher"

I think people complaining that the Cessna LSA isn't competetive in terms of useful load are missing something.
They've obviously targeted the training market and as such probably have ruggedized the airframe and systems
to withstand the abuse of legions of students learning to aviate. It's not a weekend toy to be babied by a private
owner like most of the other LSAs but a machine to train pilots and make money for the training operators while doing it.

That being said they could've come up with a better name. Just calling it the 162 would've been better.
