Re: Repairs

I have owned a DA-20 and now a lycoming DA-40. I can tell you that there are certain parts that are hard to acquire from Diamond.. Depending on what it is, you will definitely run into wait times for certain parts

DA-40 exhaust price

I installed the Powerflow exhaust last year and have a 2004 complete exhaust with 650hrs on it.. I’ve looked online for examples of how to price this for sale but can’t find any. Does anybody know what a fair price for this would be? Thanks
