I think the control manipulation order is the same on all constant prop planes:
- Increase power: Right to left (T/P/M <--)
- Decrease power: Left to Right (--> T/P/M)

Re: GFC 700 upgraded TDI question
If the engines are still the same as before the upgrade then the v-speeds shouldn't have changed, but if the upgrade was to NG (i.e. including CD-->Austro) then some minor v-speed changes are possible/likely. In any case, the gear-related speed placards should obviously be in sync with the updated d...

AD 2018-10-10
Does anyone know if there is a light at the end of the tunnel with re: to the AD 2018-10-10 every flippin 25 hours..?
It bugs me that this is inhibiting long/multi-day XC flights, and I'd be happy to pay for a permanent fix.

Re: SUN VISORS
I've had Diamond's kit installed on one DA42, and will soon have another 42 upgraded with it. The shades are invaluable on bright days. Installation takes a couple days, involves slight reduction of canopy max opening angle (don't ask me why) and bonding time of the ceiling that holds the shades. Pa...

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"
Really? I get it. So results don’t matter. You really, really tried hard, put together a five star team of participants to present your concerns, requests to Diamond hierarchy and you have absolutely nothing to show for it other than platitudes. I understand, you have no concrete results of what yo...

Re: G1000 - Red X Madness
Had that problem yesterday - X’ed out fuel quantity and temp, Voltage/Amperage and also missing annunciations.
Recycling master sometimes fixed it, but mostly not. Reseating the GEA71 behind the PFD fixed the issue.

Re: Left Turning Tendency on the Ground
P-factor can still be a noticeable factor on the ground, especially if you taxi slightly uphill and need more power. Careful use of slightly differential engine power (i.e. use a bit more of the left engine than the right one) should be more effective though than a lot of right rudder while taxiing ...

Re: Alternate air related load drop
Not sure, just thinking if perhaps a difference in software version on the ECUs could be causing it - just speculation. I guess looking at the ECU data makes sense. Since you flew through icing, perhaps a difference in how much TKS gets to the prop and wing parts on the affected side vs the other s...

Re: Alternate air related load drop
First time when I noticed that, I was in severe icing in descend, so you can imagine the thoughts in my head :) Later on I confirmed that experimenting at different altitudes. Why would ECU-B make any difference when everything is ok on engine test? Not sure, just thinking if perhaps a difference i...
