TK-KFI is the Tundra variant.Colin wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 10:34 pmMy memory of mine is now fuzzy, but I see I had a front step. Why didn't I complain when they gave me a DA42 and took away my step? I guess that put me between the propeller and the wing. Online there are images of DA40s with a back step, and missing the front step. What was the rule? TK-KFI is a DA40 with a back step and, it looks like, upturned wingtips.All DA40's

Re: Front landing gear fairing
D40 NG is definitely higher than 180. I bought a small folding step for about $15 from Home Depot to help some passengers in. 1-Step Plastic Step Stool with 300 lbs. Load Capacity https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gorilla-Lad ... 97#overlay
