Re: iPad mounting

I am going to install the Diamond I pad mount at some time in the future. It looks like an easy task and should make it easier to use the unit with out hiding any panel space. What did the parts cost?

Re: DA42 TDI rudder heavy/yaw

I set my trim a bit to the right; kind of set it and forget it.

Re: DA42 TDI rudder heavy/yaw

If you are near or in N.J. we could fly my 1.7 T.D.I. You need right rudder on taxi and take off but that is it. A bit of right trim and all is great. P.M. if you are interested.

Re: Aux fuel transfer Pump Soelnoid RSB -42-066

I am going with the Diamond kit the price is not too crazy (a bit over 1200 for both) and I do not have to chase parts.

Aux fuel transfer Pump Soelnoid RSB -42-066

My DA 42 T.D.I. Has not had the RSB -42-066 (dated 04-Dec-2008) completed , so I just had the right aux tank pump lose prime. the pump will not transfer fuel to the main tank. I will be doing the RSB soon. I would like to know the maker of the solenoid and buy direct if possible.
Thank you

You have to check the drains regularly.

Re: Water in the bottom of the hull.

I clipped the cable ties for the A/P trim to get slack and glued a new tie wrap holder to the trim servo mount about 2 inches off of the floor. i than user a tie wrap to hold the connector in the new tie wrap mount bracket. I did not reroute the fuel sender connector yet. I did reseal the wing roots...
