Re: In flight cellular connectivity options
Has anyone tried a cell signal booster? Can probably buy one from Amazon for $200. I mounted one on a rooftop pole at a cabin in the woods with no prior cell service and it worked great. I wonder if it will boost the signal up high too. Caution though, it may not be good for you to sit close to it ...

Re: Diamond China announce its own 'independently designed' domestic aircraft diesel engine, the 'AEC2.0L'
Wouldn’t this engine need to be certified before being used in any EASA/TC/FAA certified airplane? The way I read it is that at least EASA have so far begun building a trust relationship with the Chinese aviation administration and certification organizations with the intent of eventually bringing ...

Re: Diamond China announce its own 'independently designed' domestic aircraft diesel engine, the 'AEC2.0L'
The Austrians are widely known as equal to their German engineer counterparts. Ferdinand Porsche was Austrian as I recall. Agreed, the quality might not be much different. Hardly a resounding vote of confidence, as you said "given the recent Austro issues". Then again, the new engine desi...

Re: Diamond China announce its own 'independently designed' domestic aircraft diesel engine, the 'AEC2.0L'
A Chinese made knock off of an Austro diesel. Sign me up. Hope these don’t become the TBR replacement engines down the road. We're going to find out soon enough, for sure. It's been over seven years in development from a clean sheet and looks designed to fit straight into an Austro form-factor with...

OK, I've re-done the Microsoft Co-Pilot queries using 185kg as dry weight (from the official spec sheet), since Co-Pilot on its own deduces the AEC2.0L as having a weight of only 95kg (thought it might have been too good to be true): Screenshot 2024-02-29 204451.png Screenshot 2024-02-29 204834.png ...
