Interesting that the Boeing 777 was built entirely on computers - all the parts were designed and built that way. The plane was put together and flew the first time. You would think they could do the same with a GA plane. This Skycatcher is supposed to replace the Cessna 152 series plane and also be a primary GA trainer in a light sport classification ... the Cessna 162 will cost around 110K, just right for your pocketbook these days ....

Any landing you can walk away from (even a crash landing) is a good one.

Actually, $ 140K with the standard glass cockpit. Just the right price for a 2-seater you can only fly during the day in good weather.

How does one not fly "the first time"?
