Welcome to the DA20 Club, Pascal! The feeling is like none other in the world - one of the few things in the world that justifies opening the wallet so wide sometimes - worth every single penny! As for tie-down, our here in BC - I pay $65/month - available hangar space is non existent - so much dema...

How topical - I have been struggling with similar issues over the past 6 months in my DA20 - I'm sure similar issues between the two. Thank you everyone for contributing - this is going to help me, and probably many others knowing we're not the only ones with this Diamond Landing Struggle! :thumbsup...

Now this is an interesting story! I must know more! What was the reason they installed a IO-240 in a DA40 originally? That must have been incredibly underpowered!
