Re: Jeering siren noise in headsets when COM activated

Not sure if this is useful info… I purchased a new Bose A20 Bluetooth headset about six months ago and returned then to Amazon because I experienced a very similar ear piercing audio anomaly in my DA42-VI. My last generation Bose Bluetooth A20s purchased back in 2014 have never had the issue.

Re: Hangar Floor

I went with a 18’ wide x 16’ deep layout (288 sq ft) of Racedeck Freeflow style 12” tiles. It cost $1,050 including freight and tax. The tiles are vented so dirt and water disappear under them. 60 free flow black tiles 112 free flow graphite tiles 112 free flow alloy tiles 4 free flow yellow tiles 1...

Hangar Floor

I installed racedeck tiles in my hanger this weekend and was really pleased with the outcome so I wanted to share a photo. The install took about 2 hours. It makes for a much cleaner experience working around the aircraft. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0W1j9ilZ65HoApC7VRnYKq3ng#Wall_Township Kevin

Re: Mystery oil leak

One data point I failed to mention in this thread, coincidentally (maybe not???), on the flight leading up to the discovery of the minor oil leak I needed to cross-feed 3 gallons from the left wing to the right engine (engine w/ fuel pump oil leaking). This was due to two different lineman independe...

Magnetic Compass

Anyone else find the magnetic compass to to be occasionally inaccurate? I find mine to be off by up to 30 degrees during cruise. And yes I have considered experimented with several potential sources of electrical interference.

TKS level inaccurate

Anybody else find the TKS level indicator to be inaccurate? I found my sensor fluctuates between near zero to the correct level of 12 liters. Once I run the system it seems to improve accuracy.

Mystery oil leak

After a 2.5 hours of flight last weekend I noticed a tiny amount of black oil streaming along the right nacelle cover. I popped off the covers and discovered what appears to be a leaking gasket from the oil pump but I wanted to post to see if anybody has had a similar experience. I’ll be grounded ti...

DA42-VI (jet boost)

I absolutely love nearly every aspect of my DA42-VI. Two things that would make it the perfect aircraft for me... 1-Reclining rear seats to keep backseat passengers more comfortable on long trips 2-Faster cruise speeds... Here is a crazy and fun thought exercise! :scream: I know my fellow DA42 owner...
