Re: DA40 N453DS engine fire in Utah KSPK
I listened to the audio and watched the video posted. The pilot did a great job handling the situation and landing. What hit home with me was, that was my airplane prior to buying my Panthera.

Re: Thinking of DA40 after SR22
Hi DA40 fan, I was a DA-40 owner, still love the airplane. I only had a couple hours in a SR-20 prior to buying the Diamond. I felt more at ease flying the DA-40, which seems to have a wider margin in the stall areas. This plane is much less likely to tumble in the area that many Cirrus are lost, sl...

Re: jet shades
As far as getting my airplane tinted? I flew to Easton, MD. where he installed the tinting on four of my windows. It took him about an hour and a half to install. After flying for with it, I should have kept it back slightly from my peripheral vision area. Otherwise, the heat reduction is great. He ...

Re: jet shades
I can understand having the ability to remove the shade when you want to. Sometimes the shade reduces your view at night. The tinting that was used in my airplane is designed for use on aircraft polycarbonates and acrylics. It doesn't transfer the heat to the plastics. It's also available in a light...

Re: jet shades
Out of curiosity and my own ignorance, why wouldn't you consider tinting the canopy instead of shades?

Re: Options to rent a DA-40 in the Philadelphia area?
Not sure if KXLL is too far? Fly Gateway Aviation is there, part of the same people at KLOM with the Cirrus planes. They fly Diamond aircraft. They're on the south side of Allentown,PA.

They trailered it to 22N, about a mile from the accident. They were lucky.

Airplane Tinting
Hi, I just got home from having my windows tinted. Boy does that make a big difference!!! I wanted to let you know that this guy does Diamond aircraft and has some pictures online to look at. The tinting comes with a 10 year warranty and is safe for all aircraft windows. If you use "standard&qu...

Re: Would you buy a Textron Panthera?
I wanted to wait until I heard more about what's going to happen to Pipistrel. Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything that wasn't already printed. Andy hasn't been forthcoming, or he just doesn't know what to expect. I can tell you that my gut is concerned, based on the TTX. My hope is, they like t...

Re: Has anyone already placed an order for a Panthera?
Ok, one thing at a time. The zero amp reading is one on the squawk list. I'm guessing the shunt isn't working right. I'm waiting for a response from the factory. The CHT's were explained to me that they should run about 385-400 F. On arrival, the CHT on #1 cylinder was running hotter than the others...
