RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Pilot records

My issue is the number of CFI's/student, and yet they seem NOT to support
the upcoming C-162 for anyone into Sport, even though most CPC's are buying
one. I see here that the Cessna Pilot Centers are all getting one but have
the intention of training to Rec or mostly Private only. I speculate how
long it will take for Cessna to get IFR and night certified in that 162
exclusively to teach private. There were several startup dealers offering
sport planes and trikes, etc., but most all have gone belly up last year due
to lack of interest in our toys.

Why do you suppose that is? Apparently Helen is not having any problems on
the east coast. [way to go Helen]
