I talked to Diamond customer support and got the info I need. The double bubble is only available as a purchase option on a new NG. The tall boy can be fitted on older DA40s as either a new canopy or conversion kit. Either way runs about $10k.

They say it adds about 2”.

That double bubble would be great. Who cares if it’s a little ugly.

$15,000, pretty sure that's not going to happen. That's ridiculous. It was a nice thought though.

I'd like to be able to replace mine if that were possible?
Before you say that, check the price. I think it was over $15,000 when I last looked. (I try hard not to look at prices for things related to the plane.)

Are the reclining seats an option for newer 2008-2012 XLS planes? I'd like to be able to replace mine if that were possible?

Also, for what it's worth. I'm just over 6'2" and more long in the body then legs. For me, the difference in the tall canopy versus the older standard, was enough to make the DA40 my plane of choice. I didn't fit in the older models very well. I won't say this is spacious, but it was enough.

Appreciate the guess, but at this point I am looking for definitive, official information with which I can make a purchase decision.

Thanks!

I'm not absolutely sure, but I would guess that it would fit any model year since the fuselage molds didn't change.

What year models DA40 are compatible with the double bubble?
