My dad and I flew to Duluth, MN for a meeting on Monday. He and I were discussing the Cessna LSA, among other things, and I mentioned that I would lose 70 pounds of cargo capacity with the LSA. He made the observation that I have a lot more plane in the 150 than I would have in the LSA.
The Cessna Skycather, like any LSA, is designed for a specific mission. Within that mission, it is probably a good plane. But, is it as flexible as a 150 or 152? I don't think so. I doubt it will ever be able to fly IFR. The pictures I have seen are lacking any backup instruments (even the Legend Cub with glass cockpit has an option for backup instruments). That alone would be enough to keep it "VFR only".
Now, don't get me wrong. If one showed up at my door (house or hanger) looking for a home, I would probably let it stay .... if the price was right.
