They build all models in China for the Asian market? Is that all of Asia (India, SE Asia, Taiwan, etc., excluding Oceana, but including Japan? Do you know what parts they are supplying to Canada and Austria? I only saw finished DA42's and DA40's at that time (2019), too soon for DA-62 production et...

It’s not hard to use a Dremel tool to grind out the metal but it does take a while. Thanks Michael for the above clarification and post. Note: The pricing given in the previous ...
