Re: New DA62 x words of wisdom from seasoned owners

My guess is the strong economic recession of 2008 is still fresh in these manufacturers' minds. I believe they are ramping up some, but protecting themselves on the downside by not overextending themselves with substantial investments in new facilities and equipment.
