Re: Now available for ordering and shipment: Powered Headset Adapter for Diamond Aircraft

Just ordered 2 and got this message back. Can anyone tell me what this is about? Do I lose stereo?

"Please note that if you are using Bose 20 headsets you may need to set the Intercom switch inside the control module to Mono to enable both left and right earphones."

Re: Canada ADS-B Diversity Requirement

I wonder what Diamond's solution will be. They took orders for airplanes that will have limited usefulness by delivery time and will be grounded within 3 years. They must be hastily working on it.

Re: Would you buy a Textron Panthera?

It looks like they're purchaing the company to become Textron's "eAviation business", which sounds like they're just in it for the electric-powered segment. It'll be interesting to see if they bring the Panthera along or if they spin it off. Electrification appears to be part of the Panth...

Would you buy a Textron Panthera?

Textron buying Pipistrel makes the Panthera much more appealing. I hope they sell a bunch in the US and keep looking into more modern powertrains.

Re: Mower one, Diamond zero

You might try XU Aviation in London, ON to see if they can fix it or or make a new one with parts from Diamond faster than a new replacement. They do a LOT of composite work for Diamond Canada across the field and have access to all of the jigs and knowhow.

Re: Interested in a Powered LEMO Adapter?

EDIT: I think I misinterpreted the @Diamond_Dan's question about "standard jacks"... and (no surprise) Rich correctly answered the intended question. At least in the case of the Bose A20/LEMO... if you take that headset with the Powered Adapter to a non-Diamond aircraft (say a C182) and p...

Re: Interested in a Powered LEMO Adapter?
