Re: How to value a DA20
For me I would overhaul engine myself. That way I know who did it and I choose which company does it. People looking for low ball IMO are not fair to the seller. It's not the way to approach an aircraft purchase. I wouldn't counter too! Upgrading/repairing again IMO I rather choose who does it. So b...

Can it take 4 people or is it a 3 seat craft? I am aware one can reduce fuel to make weight. I flew one at Diamond fest years ago but only two pe...

Re: Leaning the DA20 C1 IO240 engine
I was at Diamond fest some years ago. They told me the engine will run all day at high RPM. 2400 plus. I run mine at different RPM settings during cruise.

The last shop that replaced battery messed up pads on pcb so no contact with battery. I'm thinking about another used 135a or gnc 250xl. I know some...

Reports do not care about true facts, just ratings and views. In an emergency, land anywhere and pick the safest place. Just watch out for idiots and we see them every day in cars.
