Re: Custom Aircraft Trimmers aka Jason Cooper

Antoine- You are correct about it not being worth the headaches. I have to remember the audience, those that are looking to upgrade their interiors and not buying someone else’s tail that has already been completed. You have a compelling case...a business owner who withholds burn certificates and pa...

Re: Custom Aircraft Trimmers aka Jason Cooper

For the right COST, it’s amazing stuff. But for what Doug Robertson paid, it’s not durable enough. I’d have it done if it costs HALF of what he’s asking to redo your interior.

Re: Custom Aircraft Trimmers aka Jason Cooper

Bought Doug’s DA-40...owned it for a year. The interior was ‘okay’...here are my issues. The leather wasn’t up to par in my book. The dye comes off when you condition and/or clean the leather, which colors the stitching as well (yes, I know how to properly clean and condition leather, in case Jason ...

Re: 1000 Hour Annual and Hose Replacements

Wing spar AD is a simple multi-layer CF layup on approx two hours of actual labor. Just add it into your next annual, it's really a simple AD.

Re: DA-40 instrument panel tilt

Tim, I just finished installing the RC Allen 2600-3 in my 2003. I understand you want to install one in your 2005? I'd call Diamond and get the accurate tilt as its more than likely not the same as my tilt since yours is a backup and mounted in a diifferent location. Im happy with the ADI. I paid $2...

Re: DA-40 instrument panel tilt

Guys, correct, there is an adjustment to do VERY minor pitch adjustments, in-flight, to compensate for CG. It doesn't have the range to compensate for buying an 8 degree tilt vice a zero degree. My previous ride was a F-33A with an Aspen unit...great product but not worth the install cost due to the...

"DAN"-ers...I'm upgrading my mechanical BF Goodrich attitude gyro to a solid state RC Allen unit. They specifically ask what the panel tilt is of the DA-40. Anyone know off-hand? Most common selections on Spruce are zero and eight degrees. Thanks! Also awaiting Diamond tech to get back wit...
