Cessna Skycatcher Report

[texasclouds]

I got to fly the 162 yesterday and had a blast. Two up full fuel we were climbing 1500 ft per minute! We did the i-10 vfr flyway through the middle of Houston, hooked a right around the San Jacinto Monument, skirted bravo, then landed in Angleton for some seafood. Well no seafood since they were closed due to flooded roads. Flew back to CLL (hungry) and still had 25% fuel.

Also, at 6’2” the adjustable pedals worked great. Cabin width was insanely roomy.

My son flys one of these up at KPRC. Also likes it a lot. Too bad so few were made. With the equipment in that one, you can even do sim instrument for IFR training, though can’t actually fly in IFR (a sort of peculiar situation).
