I agree with Matt Gray in the second post. Give it a look in person. I was at an airshow and there was a local flight school advertising there school. They had one on disply. I thought it was a mock-up for advertising. The wings look like they were inflated and it had funky wrinkles over the fuselage. The wing tips were especially atrocious . It wasn't till I looked inside that I realized that it was a functioning aircraft!
It's starting to become obvious to me that Cessna put a lot of money, research, and testing in the C-162 Skycatcher, and the result is a pricey (twice the cost of this X-AirLS thing) but quality product. I've sat in several 162s, and it's no piece of junk -- like this thing looks to be.
The C-162 is partially manufactured in China, and final assembly is in the USA. THis X-Air thing looks to be India-built. Apparently, you get what you pay for.
I'll take the Cessna any day.
