Only sold 20 so far?? That's a far cry from the number of deposits they took when they first announced it.

Compared to other LSA vendors who have done better, yeah, Cessna doesn't know how to produce and sell into the LSA market.

That doesn't sound right. Hell there are 3 within 25 miles of me, right now.

Yeah, that doesn't sound right. I think he meant only the most recent fiscal or calendar year, which would make more sense since this AOPA story in March said they only sold 7 in 2013 as of the date that was published:

2011: 168
2012: 19
2013: 20 to date

Cessna still owned 92 of the 276 registered to date (per the AOPA March article.)
