Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Cessna SkyCatcher completes ASTM compliance

I don't know. Maybe I'm just suspicious but I noticed the press release
didn't have any mention of the plane completing flight testing let alone
a delivery date, just that the paperwork was done. I think this press
release was Cessna's attempt to have something positive to announce
about their program at OSH despite a lot of lingering problems. Does
anyone know if they even have a flying prototype at the current time?
