Re: DA42 as a true four (and a half) seater?
Hi.. back to the original topic DA42 as a true 4,5 seater... I have been flying a DA40 TDI for quite a while until I got my IR two years ago.. Since then I mostly fly a DA42. I find it a great IR platform... G1000.. Turbo.. TKS...two engines... FADEC... feels very save when you fly in bad weather......

Re: Left Engine Running 10 degrees warmer
So they found it... replaced the radiator and it was gone... no explanation why though.
Had also replaced thermostat, water pump, Silicat, but that did not help.

Oil, Coolant and Gearbox temp.. all significantly higher onthe left side. If we fly with 60% power temps left and right are equ...
