'New' Cessna
Guys,
I think some of you haven't read the question which was;
Quote: 'What is everyone expecting from the Cessna NG'?
What I am expecting is,
1. a 1950's design with a few new minor tweaks (as IO540 says),
2. Soggy handling, ("make it like a car" - Cessna in the 60s),
3. Non-aerobatic and probably non-spinnable,
4. Old fashioned 1930s engine (just got to be an American gas-guzzling unit),
5. Fuel efficiency better than before, but still not very good,
6. Sit-up-and-beg sitting position,
7. Control yoke (when a stick would be better) that fouls the pilot's kneeboard.
8. Limited endurance (two and a half to three hours).
In short, I suppose you could call it a C153!
I bet they don't exibit it at Farnborough, we might all laugh.
Broomstick.
