Re: DA42 BASF coolant

Re: DA42 TDI Max Airspeed
Doug, I know that running beyond TBR (or TBO) is somewhat controversial, but in the US if the plane is not operated for commercial purposes, one can continue to deem the airplane as airworthy even beyond TBR.

When I taxied to the ramp and shut down after 90 seconds, I got the plane buttoned up and wander over to sa...

Re: Powered Headsets
