Interior Dimensions DA42 and DA62

[flymu2]

I can't seem to find these. I'm especially interested in cabin width and height.

Here you go. Width in the front row should be 53".

The dimensions on the 42 are tight. I’m a 6’2 guy and have to recline to be comfortable. The bubble canopy helps a bit, but there’s still a cross bar behind your head. If a 62 wasn’t triple the price, I would have gotten one.

If you are concerned about space and can afford a 62, get one. If not, get a 42. It will be cramped, but will get you where you’re going and be a blast to fly.

Mike,

You hit the nail on the head.

I sat in a 62 on Friday and really liked it. I thought it was a little less roomy than a Cirrus, but overall the technology was so much better. One has to make one’s own decision about the chute vs the second engine, but let’s leave that argument for a different (assuredly already beaten to death) thread.

The issue is I can’t get one until mid ‘24. So my next thought was, maybe I can get a 42 to bridge the gap. Even those are a year wait, but rumor from Premier is that there might be used ones available after the first. I’m trying to gauge whether I can live with that in the interim. I guess I’ll have to go sit in one and see.

What about this one? It’s used but available now https://aircraft.steelaviation.com/airc ... craft=3597

Look at my post in previous thread. They advertise planes for sale that are not for sale. Unless this one has come for sale again recently

I spoke with Jaime. It’s probably gone by now. Asking more than a new one. Crazy.

What price were you quoted for a 2024 delivery of a DA62?

[flymu2]

About 1.75 with options.

That is nuts. This market doesn't make any sense.
