I sat in a Skycather at AOPA Expo in November. I was disappointed, to say the least. I don't fit in it. The seat is on the floor. My shins are hard up against the front panel. If you gave me one, I couldn't keep it because I couldn't fly it. Also, it's not IFR, which takes half the fun out of flying for me. The C-162 is a lot lighter than the C-150/152, but also flimsier, IMHO.

I have maybe $50K in my C-150 -- purchase price plus, new engine, new prop, etc. -- and it's already a better plane than the C-162 -- although I have a LONG way to go before mine is like new.
