Sporty's Pilot Shop Offers A Chance To Win Cessna's Latest
Airplane
Sporty's Pilot Shop, whose airport signs have encouraged
potential pilots to "Learn to Fly Here" for years, has again teamed
up with Cessna Aircraft Company and Garmin to give away a brand new
Cessna 162 SkyCatcher equipped with Garmin G300 avionics for its
2010 Sweepstakes.
The Cessna SkyCatcher is designed from spinner to tail to set
the new standard for an entry-level aircraft. Though manufactured
as an LSA, the SkyCatcher meets all the required ASTM standards for
certification while providing safety, reliability, and utility.
Cessna is planning initial deliveries this fall, so the Sporty's
SkyCatcher Sweepstakes airplane will be one of the first chances
for customers to see this pace-setting aircraft. The airplane is
equipped with the proprietary Garmin G300 avionics package, and is
powered by a composite propeller mated to a Continental O-200D
engine developed specifically for the Light Sport market. It also
features a 44-inch wide cabin, ergonomic seats, accessible cargo
area, and a unique under-panel center stick control. Cessna claims
the industry's most extensive network of dealers and service
centers.
'We chose the SkyCatcher for our next Sweepstakes because it is
the ultimate personal airplane," said Sporty's President Michael
Wolf. "Plus, its glass panel avionics makes the airplane state of
the art."
Any order placed with Sporty's until May 10, 2010 will enter the
customer as a potential winner of the Sweepstakes airplane. The
winner will be officially announced at Sporty's annual Fly-In,
scheduled for May 15, 2010.
This brand-new SkyCatcher will mark the 28th aircraft awarded in
Sporty's annual Sweepstakes. Every year since 1986 Sporty's has
awarded at least one airplane to a fortunate customer.
