I completed the panel/gauge system for ABACUS nearly six months ago, and it was released. It is one of the very best models ABACUS offers, in my (somewhat) biased opinion... :ernae:

Well, had a great day at the summit...forgot the camera. Sorry.

The Cessna 162 is impressive, but it's tiny. I'm 6'2" and once you're in , it's fine. But getting in is a bit of a stretch -- or squish. One or the other.

Like most things, it takes a bit of learning, but then it's easy...

Getting in is not as difficult as the Air Camper, and it's plenty wide once you're in...but one does not look cool while one's attempting it.

I will say though, if I were going to plunk down my money, that the Sport Cub LSA would be of more interest. Just seems you get more for your money. Getting into it is a breeze....park your butt, swing your legs in, and everything you need is all right there.
