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

And that's great for you. Expressing a personal opinion does not mean you need to agree with it.
I would however like to correct some things you pointed out.

1) $125000 will not get you an IFR certified LSA meant for long XC's equipped with auto-pilot and GPS. It will cost you more than that unless you find a distress sale
2) No reason to buy a $480k 182 with G1000 when you can get a used IFR certified airplane for much less
3) No one is bitching and moaning and certainly not me. I could care less but I do have opinions

I want ECONOMY but I also want a very comfortable x-county and that includes autopilot coupled to a GPS and IFR wouldn't hurt either. Even though I can fly G1000 182s I don't want one. I am not going to drop $480,000 and pay 12gal./hr for fuel. I want what one of those suckers can do though. So I spend $125,000 and pay for 4gal./hr. I'm happy, I'm legal, and at the end of the day that is all that matters to me.
