Re: 2008 DA40D Purchase Advice

Patrick,

If you have the 6 pack DA40, I think one “gotcha” you should watch out for is what has been the reliability of its KAP-140 auto-pilot.

Re: Avionics upgrade

Chip, as a fellow 2002 owner - I agree with everyone’s suggestions. I think the two best upgrades for me have been the PowerFlow (For the enhanced performance and lower CHTs) and the FlightStream 210. Using the 210, I love being able to change my flight plans on the go using my iPad and avoid all of...

Re: Mid Atlantic Prop Balance

Bryan, between the new prop and the old prop there was a huge difference. The new prop was so quiet I thought my noise cancelling headset was on (something I don’t turn on until after I am in cruise). But considering how close my prop was already in balance I did not feel any noticeable change after...

Mid Atlantic Prop Balance

An independent PIREP: A few hours ago, I had a new MT prop installed on my 2002 DA40. Oddly, I was having problems finding a shop that has the tools and training to dynamically balance the prop near me (based at KLOM, near Philadelphia).

Re: Push pull Rod Mechanical Assemblies

John, An earlier Diamond I flew had an Aspen Pro 1000. I really enjoyed flying with it. I purchased my current 2002 DA40 so that I could have maximum flexibility in any future panel upgrades. It would be interesting for you to create a different thread on how you use your three screen set up to maxi...

But, I would also like to see a little more on your, preparing the plane, handling of the puppies, And working with the volunteers. These details might help me better...
