Re: DAN World tab/map non-functional

Just an update that the world map page should be using the latest member data now. Let me know if you and your airport isn't showing up where you expect.

Re: Fuel caps on diesel Diamonds

Nice! The fuel caps on the diesels are high-quality (IMHO) locking caps and made to accept the typical Jet-A fuel truck nozzles. I think Newton might be the manufacturer, but I don't have any references handy at the moment. Hopefully somebody will be along shortly to confirm or correct.

Re: 404 on "New Posts" Link

That is a definite possibility, although I didn't see any of the published Private Relay IPs in the current list of troublemakers. I've backed off on the agressiveness just now, but it may not be enough. Let me know if you see any improvement (or regression).

Re: 404 on "New Posts" Link

Let me know if this still happens to you when using the New/Unread posts buttons. I updated the anti-bot filtering to try to improve the behavior here (and hopefully didn't break anything else).

Re: 404 on "New Posts" Link

I think you may even be able to just refresh the page and/or click on another link to reload the session cookie prior to clicking on the New/Unread posts link. I.e. you shouldn't have to log all the way out and back in. I'll see if I can come up with a fix for it. It is triggering the anti-bot ...

Re: NXi for VI

I believe the Austria factory will still do an upgrade to NXi for DA42-NG or DA42-VI airframes that have GFC700 APs. I got a quote from them for my NG a couple of years ago, but decided not to go forward with it due to the logistics involved. It only included the G1000 components. At least one of ...

Re: Revisiting the impossible…wait for it…turn

Good webinar... thanks for the link. Back when I flew Lycoming DA40s regularly, I would occasionally go up and try to practice the turn-back at altitude. The first few times were miserable failures due to not wanting to push and bank agressively, but that's exactly what it requires. So your summary ...

Re: Hail and carbon fiber planes

It does, up to a point. The (in)famous hail incident at the Columbia Aircraft factory in Bend, Oregon resulted in some minor damage to the 50+ aircraft sitting out on the ramp, but most of the damage was cosmetic.

Unfortunately, the resulting delays in aircraft deliveries in order to perform ...

Re: Austro Engines: Turning the Corner


Is there a summary somewhere? I'm not yet eligible to join the Diamond Pilots Association. Still, I would be interested in this article as I'm probably looking at a DA62 or a smaller turboprop as the next aircraft I own. Lots of mountains eliminate SEP as a safe option.


There are no eligibility ...

Re: Austro Engines: Turning the Corner

Nice article, Paul. It's refreshing to see some communication from Austro to owners about the recent issues.
