Cessna's new LSA: "Skycatcher"

I would be surprised if Continental doesn't incorporate some improvements to the cylinder design. As a rugged, easy-to-maintain light aircraft powerplant, I personally think they made a good choice. I agree, most completely! The fact that it has the O-200 would make me buy it, rather than the Rotax powered LSA's. Anyone know what a weight comparison would be for a firewall forward installation of a 200 vs. a 912? -- Jim in NC I don't know what the firewall-forward weights would be, but the basic dry weight of the Rotax is 132 lbs versus 170 lbs for the Continental.
