I ordered nylon flathead screws from an on-line source. I don't remember the size and can't find my order, but you should be able to put a good one on a screw gauge and figure out the size and if it is metric or not. Both black and white were available, but I stuck with the white. The replacements e...

Yes please. If you coould provide the hardness from your order, I will order sets for both of us.

Thank you.

Hi Keoki, I should have a set of these. The part is Megi 785000. Conti makes then now. It is a little bit of a PITA to remove the old ones btw. The maintenance manual doesn't detail the R&R process. It's up to the user to figure out... Feel free to PM me. I replaced mine about 10 years ago. Due...

Has anyone actually done this, legally installed a different prop on a DA20-A1?
There are two of us in California in the same boat. I've been waiting over 6 months for what used to be a 2-week resurfacing.

While making a normal landing, come it at 60-65kts and level-off a few feet off the ground, pull the power and relax into ground effect. Don't fret about my 2100 RPM comment, that was just to ARREST a high sink rate.

You can't do this on the nose wheel, but on the mains, you can have your mechanic grind the valve stem opening on the wheel pants a little larger, it makes a big difference. It also helps to paint a white stripe on the tires so you can tell where the stem is located as you reposition the wheels to a...

If your DA20-A1 is anything like mine, about every 3 months you find half of a rusted out exhaust spring under your plane while doing a preflight. These pesky springs are not expensive, but they have to put up with a lot and don't last very long. Here are a couple of tips I'm using to get more life ...

Diamond has documentation for installing the Aspen EFD1000 in the DA20-C1, but not the A1. And they won't share any documents on the C1 install either. The issue is how and where to mount the RSM {antenna module) on the composite airframe which Aspen hss no STC for. Has anyone out there installed an...

Well I finally got in there and checked the muffler donuts--all good. The SCAT hoses were worn and weak in places so I replaced them all and tightened everything up. The shroud is still a little loose, but not as bad as it was before I started. So far the noise has not returned. You are right about ...

Lately, whenever I go blow 13oo RPM in my DA20-A1, my exhaust shroud rattles like crazy. It does not look like it is secured to the muffler anywhere, it just wraps around the muffler and is clamped together with 3 bolts. The entire muffler assembly was replaced about 4 years ago and was quiet until ...
