I have been lurking/reading/learning here for quite some time and just wanted to say thanks and hello.
I have been flying for 25+ years, including owning/teaching in a Cessna P210 for many years, then a Cessna 421 for a few years. I am now a Diamondshare member in a new DA62 - just finished my first family trip to Florida recently. I am quite pleased at the clean-sheet design of the DA62 and the many features/advantages it has over classic legacy aircraft.
I am sure to have questions as time goes on - and hopefully help in answering some as well. This Forum looks quite helpful.

Re: Introduction - New DA62 Pilot
That is a gorgeous plane. Enjoy it. I wish there were one flying out of KOWD so I could see if they wanted to land on the grass out at Marthas Vineyard.
