SkyCatcher Landing

Cessna SkyCatcher LSA airplane landing at Northampton Runway 14. Clouds, rain, perfect day for pattern work. SkyCatcher seems to be a nice plane more like real Cessna than LSA. I like the engine and avionics. I do not like the Made in China quality though. I hope Cessna will put more attention to the quality work. Some rivetting work seems to be done on the lap not on the jig. Paint job might need a lot of improvement too. Overal very interesting airplane.

@WTurbiasz It is a great aircraft. There is nothing what can not be taken care of. I expected poor quality as typical Made in China stuff. I hope Cessna will take care of those things otherwise it may bite soon. In my opinion this aircraft will be a solid high wing trainer dominating market within next 5 years

@gztsarmata Im suprised about the workmanship thats really to bad because it looks like a great aircraft. Thanks for sharing .

@WTurbiasz Very similar to C152. Easier to maneuver on the ground , when you get used to custering wheel. Light on controls, more responsive, MORE ROOM inside :); The workmanship is poor and Cessna has to do something about to convince me it will last so long as 152 does. Time will show. At this point I am convinced that Aero AT-4 is a better trainer, stronger an well made.

Very nice good to see good quality videos coming in from this aircraft. Can you give some comparison thoughts to how it handles VS a cessna 152 ?
