Here are my results from a DA62. I think I failed. I wonder if signal transmission through the carbon fiber of the DA62 is more difficult than the DA40 fiberglass. Too bad it's mounted under the relatively crowded cockpit vs. the tail. Yes, that's why an external ELT antenna is needed on the carbon...

WiFi and Bluetooth both can use the same 2.4 GHz frequency band. Do you have any other WiFi or Bluetooth communications (e.g., with Bluetooth headsets) going on at the same time as you're trying to control your camera?

Interesting "drag race." A few years ago I graphed the AFM/POH published speeds of DA42 and DA62 models using "maximum continuous power:" DA42vDA62 Performance.pdf rather than full power (good for only 5 minutes) that was demonstrated in the video. At max continuous power, the DA...

The Austro engine is based on a Mercedes OM640 diesel engine, so you could always try searching online for a Mercedes-Benz oil filter (probably produced for Mercedes by MANN) for that model engine. Years ago when I last bought the 100 hour kit from Diamond, it included the Mercedes oil filter contai...

New G1000 NXi software has also been released for the DA62: http://support.diamond-air.at/fileadmin/uploads/files/after_sales_support/DA62/Service_Bulletins/SB62-003-M-8-Software-for-G1000.pdf It supports the GWX75 hardware, and this new NXi software includes multiple GWX80 files that may be for the...

Rich, you're giving me hope that I'll still be insurable in a DA40 when I'm your age. I'm assuming that when I turn 70 in a few years that I'll no longer be insurable to fly single pilot in a 1200 hp turbine cruising 300+ knots at FL340 -- so I'll be forced to sell our Epic. At that point the plan i...

Wow, $65K for a 2006 DA42NG is ridiculously high. That high a premium might be expected for a low-time or older pilot flying a brand new DA62, not for an older DA42. I'm guessing this quote is because neither you nor your instructor have any DA42 time in type. Normally you might expect a range of mo...

Having owned a DA42-VI for 4 years and a DA62 for 5 years, I saw similar oil consumption on each of the pair of Austro engines. Oil was always topped off to MAX fill line after every 100 hour oil change, then: - By about 70 hours oil dropped to the MIN fill line, indicating use of 2 liters during th...

I'll be over a city with nothing, yet I had solid 5G in the middle of absolute nowhere at 11,000ft. Actually that makes perfect sense: Mobile phone cellular antennas all have horizontal radiation patterns to service people on the ground. So if you're flying right above a city you'll get little or n...

Here's a video of my GMA options. Tell me what looks different from mine vs those of you who have pax headsets that can hear COM radios. You're not imagining things. From the video it's pretty clear that your DA42 is missing the option: "While passenger in ICS, route selected COM audio to pass...
