Our DA40 with extended fuel tanks has a leak from the check valve in the capillary line (fuel is leaking out the vent under the wing). Mechanic wants to repair the check valve but can’t get to it/find it. He sees the standard tanks (in our other DA40) has check valve at end of tank , but for the lon...

We need another unfeathering accumulator. Anyone know where we could get ours overhauled? The price from a new one at Diamond is not pretty, We have a TDI 2.0 engine.

Mechanics have done work with no improvement. Any new suggestions appreciated. (btw...rear seat passenger was not impressed either).

We have a DA42 tdi on the flight line for rental at 39N. I will keep an ear open for anyone who may be interested and let you know if anything shakes loose.

We are doing the 25 hour locally. No choice for us really (flight school plane). We just installed the new washers yesterday on one side. Mechanics think it is more secure, yet flexible than before. Checked into getting the new pipes from Technify...cost for all parts is just under $3,000 (for both ...

We are interested in putting our DA42 on an existing 135 certificate. If anyone out is willing to share their ops manual that has managed to jump through your local FSDO hoops, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, sharing your stories here would be greatly appreciated. If anyone is interested, ...

I will try that! Have some dogs at home too

Hope it is a standard size.
