Is this with the new thicker or old thinner doughnut?

Where do you get this number, if you don't mind my asking?

Must be the Crispy Kreme brand!

Hi, I feel that mine has a tail low attitude. Please see attached photo of me typing the tail down. I would say that my tail skid is barely 2 feet off the ground. Comparing photos of other DA40s, I've seen many with the tail pretty much parallel to the ground. Is this acceptable? The tail low attitu...

Just noticed a hairline crack on the upper surface of the left wing at the trailing edge of wing root. I estimate to be about 10inches long.

Maybe I've got a non-standard tyre, that makes it even harder to get to, as it'll be even further in fro...
