Re: DA40 Paint Repair
I don't have any specific recommendation but really this isn't rocket surgery. Any professional detailer should be able to do this. You just need to make sure he doesn't use anything with silicone.

Re: Fatal UT accident appears to be DA40
I completely agree and when it is time my son will learn gliders first. Then perhaps he will get his license in a tailwheel cub type airplane. He can learn the Land-O-Matic last.

Before and after the issue the navigators seem to work well. We were in freezing temps so that is the only thing I can think of that is different. The GTX345 is the only recent change but there have been plenty of flights that showed only normal ops. I am stumped on this one. I didn't pull the break...
