Re: SureFly Electronic Ignition
The table below has some initial pre and post SureFly installation performance numbers measured on my DA40 XLS. The data was generated using FlySto.com’s “Insights” after uploading the G1000 flight logs for all 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 flights – a total of about 300 flights. SureFly performance dat...

Re: Delta Hawk DHK180
If it would fit, I just wonder how a DA40 would perform with a 235 HP, supercharged & turbocharged, diesel engine .

Re: Questions about pitting in the camshaft
Another option you might want to consider for a second expert opinion is to sign up for one https://www.savvyaviation.com/savvybasics/ support services. My experience is that they're really knowledgably working through these types of issues and for a few hundred dollars it may be worth it to gain ac...

Re: Oil filter
I also had a quick drain installed on my 2010 XLS the first oil change after I purchased it back 5 years ago.

Re: Oil filter
I also have been using Tempest oil filters on my DA40 XLS with no issues. Since I change my own oil, a tool that I found particularly helpful (although a bit expensive) is the Tempest oil filter torque wrench.
