Please come back and report on the vision jet once you have some hours on it! And make some videos. Diamond twin --> Vision jet is my dream as well.

I purchased a new da42 almost 2 years ago! I am in Norway Fixed costs 12k = insurance Hangar = varies widely Operational 20k in maintenance so far for 100 + 200 + 300 hours plus 1 annual . So $66/ hour right there. There are major maintenances ahead (600 hour? 1000 hour?) plus engine replacement res...

- The comfort on the DA42 SUCKS. I am 6'2" and barely fit. I spent a fortune (~$15k) adding reclining seats because I couldn't fit otherwise. Oregon Aero seat cushions are mandatory, the seats are like a steel frame otherwise. My head hits the canopy in turbulence. the DA62 solves most of this...

I am very happy with my DA42, and very glad to have two quiet FADEC liquid cooled Jet fuelled engines. A noisy Cirrus, having to find AVGAS (and icing on the fixed landing gear?) is not appea...

I received a new DA42 in Europe last year and will provide input based on my experience. Honeywell KN 63 remote DME - I can't comment on USA need. Must in Europe. Becker 3500 remote ADF - No WX500 Stormscope - No, get the radar + satellite Avidyne TAS 605 - It has been discussed a lot on the forums,...

I indirectly know of one DA50 owner and they are undergoing engine exchange after positive sample.

Can someone confirm the TKS check can be done on battery power as part of the preflight check? While walking around the aircraft, flip de ice switch to NORM, watch and confirm TKS liquid is coming out?
