Re: Again ECU failure

Had similar problem on take off out of MKBS so returned to land. Continued flight was not recommended. Turned out had leaky hoses that needed replacement as well as a sensor.
Advised the sensor device has a 3 to 4 year life have and hoses needed an elbow manifold to stop the stressing.

Re: Engine upgrades

Thanks Emir Currently have 1/2 time engines and want to upgrade to the 155's. Think half time engines should be worth more than the 10K core charge offered by Mfgr? Options seem to be sell engines to someone who wants 1000 more hours who are near replacement or buy a plane in that condition and refi...

Engine upgrades

Hi Guys Am thinking of getting the new 155 engines. They are asking for a 'core charge' which gets refunded but my engines have over half the life left and are the 125-02-99's. Seems there would be a market there or opportunity to get an used one near limits and buy it and put the newer engines in i...

Re: Weather radar upgrade on a DA42

Hi Salem
Where did you find the '68 radar. I was told there were none available anywhere and the factory guy looked and could not find any.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much,
Hap

Re: Alternate air related load drop

Not sure if this is your problem but I was having differential power output at high altitudes. Turned out I had leaks in the MAPP hoses and fittings as well as needing a new BPA valve. I would also check your waste gate controller as it has a 3-5 year life according to Maint. When the leaks get bad ...
