Front wheel shimmying on landing

At times, when landing, the front wheel on my 2003 DA 40 vibrates or shimmies. It’s like when driving I cross over the rumples at the side of the road. Any ideas or concerns?

Use cigarette lighter in flight for Arctic Air Cooler?

What do you think about using the cigarette lighter in my 2003 DA40 to power a small Arctic Air Cooler? Could it be used before flight or even during flight?

Does heat damage composite on DA40?

I am moving my 2003 DA 40 to Houston. Due to the long wing span I can’t find a shade or T-hangar. I have been told that leaving the exposed Diamond in the summer sun/ heat will damage the plane. Any suggestions?

Re: Rear lock cylinder fell out in flight!

Really, I’m the only one that this has happened to? Can someone tell me where to order a new rear door lock?

Re: Autopilots are the answer, not the problem...

Can someone explain what “certified autopilot option confirmed” means for a 2003 DA40? And, how much an autopilot would cost for this plane? Thanks
