If this keeps up, people will be refitting Rotax engined airplanes with O-200s because the O-200 will be much less expensive.
Not an easy proposition, the O-200 is much heavier.
Dual magnetos, while an "old fashioned" solution to the problem are quite dependable. Carburetors work, too.
The Rotax 912 has both, it I'm not mistaken.
Cessna could build a plastic-fantastic-glass-panel turbo-wankel-diesel if they wanted to - but they don't because there's no REAL market for it other than wannabes.
I wouldn't argue with you that an aluminium airplane is easier to repair, but as to the "market" there are more than 200 (plastic) Flight Design CT in the US...
It's probably a fine aircraft, but in my opinion the Skycatcher is a big seller primarily because it is built by Cessna (known name, huge maintenance and sales network).
Get used to the Skycatcher, you'll be seeing a lot of them.
Not in my part of the world, I fear...
