Hi Konrad, I think you can not compare the Maule with the DA40. I learned to fly on a Maule, with Ray Maule in Moultry GA Spence Field. I like to fly the MX7-235 we had as a tow plane in our club. As tow pilot you get excellent landing training wich is needed for that plane. But for back country the...

Graham, specially in Winter ... it is really nice time to fly.

Hi Antoine, I am thinking about installing a heater, do you have a 220V type. My bird is in the cold hangar tent bute we have an el. pwr outlet available. I thinking about a Reiff System.

I bought a charger, see link. It is a good equipment and could be used as a Gnd power as well. Fellow pilots here in Buochs are using it for the monthly FMS update of the PC 12. I put it on from time to time in Winter to keep the battery up. aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/portPowerCharger24ces.php

Hi Antoine. Did you do the maintenance in GRE with Pius and Renè? Sounds high for the 400h annual etc. About the pump, checked the maint manual, there is in fact no relay between the switch and the pump, it was either the CB or Switch with a bad contact ....or then yes the pump itself. Considering t...

Does anybody know a place in the Tampa Bay aera we're a DA40 could be rented? As I am planning to be here in our new holiday condo quite often the next years, I would love to fly also "Diamond style" here. To bring my DA40 over from Switzerland is a bit a too long trip...... :P I have seen...
