Re: Solar powered battery bank at tie down

I using a solar powered battery minder for my car in the winter holiday home. It`s on for 6 to 8 month and works perfect. Should work also for an aircraft battery with the dedicated battery minder product. (Concorde 28V)

Re: Would you buy another DA XX?

Fully agree with John, with all the new avionic products coming on the market, an easy updatable panel is a big advantage. The pre G1000 DA40 is one of the few modern airframes in its class with this advantage. There are a lot of KAP140 G1000 DA40 flying, maybe even an upgrade to a digital a/p will ...

Re: DA40 NG in Germany 2021: Satellite Weather, Flarm, 3rd Party Software

Hello Alexander, congratulation for your new plane, good choice. Point 3 FLARM: In my opinion Flarm is a must in our region. We just had a terrible glider/Robin collision 2 weeks ago, with the Robin not equipped with Flarm and probably TRX off! I have a PowerFlarm installed for 10 years now, and it ...
