2010 CESSNA 162 SKYCATCHER LIGHT SPORT, (LSA), ONLY 780 HOURS SINCE NEW AIRFRAME AND ENGINE, PRICED SOOOO CHEAP !!!!
LIGHT SPORT IS ALL THE RAGE !!
GET YOUR LICENSE IN HALF THE REQUIRED TIME, FLY WITH JUST YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE AS A MEDICAL, FLY A MODERN DESIGN, FUEL EFFICIENT AIRPLANE WITH MODERN AVIONICS AND MODERN SAFETY FEATURES
THERE IS ONLY ONE PROBLEM.......
LIGHT SPORT AIRPLANES ARE EXPENSIVE !!!
CESSNA SET OUT TO CHANGE THAT WITH THEIR NEXT GENERATION TRAINER/PERSONAL AIRPLANE, THE 162 SKYCATCHER !!
WITH A MODERN, LIGHTWEIGHT UPDATE OF THE VENERABLE CONTINENTAL O-200, THIS 100 HP ENGINE IS FAMILIAR TO PILOTS ( THOSE "OTHER" ENGINES STILL HAVE A MANUAL CHOKE !!!) AND AIRCRAFT MECHANICS ( I WENT TO A&P SCHOOL, NOT SNOWMOBILE REPAIR SCHOOL) ALIKE !!
MODERN CONVENIENCES AND DESIGN FEATURES ABOUND, FROM FLIP UP DOORS TO A WIDE CABIN, AND MODERN SIDE STICK CONTROLS !
UNFORTUNATELY, PRICE CREEP MADE EVEN THE SKYCATCHER TOP $120,000 WHEN IT WAS INTRODUCED, AND $149,000 BY THE END OF MANUFACTURE, AND CESSNA COULDN"T FIND A WAY TO KEEP THE SKYCATCHER PROFITABLE, SO THEY RECENTLY CEASED PRODUCTION.
ON THE USED MARKET, THEY BRING $75,000 AND UP, WELL OUT OF THE BUDGET FOR MOST PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ENJOY FLYING THEM.
BUT WAIT, WHAT IF YOU COULD FIND ONE WITH ONLY A LITTLE, REPAIRABLE DAMAGE, FOR A SMALL FRACTION OF THAT AMOUNT?
HERE YOU GO !!

REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL.
