By the time Cessna finally offers the Skycatcher for sale ( late 2009 ) it won't be that much longer that the Lycoming engine becomes certified ( per Lycoming 1st Quarter of 2010 ).

Does this mean the first couple of months production of Skycatchers will have Continentals and then post 1st quarter 2010 the rest will have Lycomings ?
