Re: The Pipistrel Panthera looks like a DA40 copy

Hey guys, Well Pipistrel is making a plane that gets 148 kts on 100 HP, so "all" they need is another 50 kts (and the extra load) out the second hundred horse power. They claimed all along they would do the 148 kts on the Virus SW, and that is what it does. I imagine they have models at le...

Re: Looking for advice on buying a DA-20

Justin, I know what you are saying. I have been renting, and trying to figure out a way to make a small group work. The only thing I can see so far is find people who are willing to effectively split the costs, including purchase and maintenance. The breakeven point in terms of hours flown per year ...

Re: 24 Volt Power Adapters

Hey all, I rent a DA-20, so cannot do something permanent as you are talking about. I went with one of the newer 10,000 mAh battery packs.

Re: Diamond US Flyin - Reoccuring

Hey guys,

Would anyone be interested in going over to Hutchinson Kansas (KHUT)? The Kansas Cosmodrome is there (why I am not sure). It is supposedly the largest collection of Soviet era spacecraft on display outside of Moscow. Let me know if interested.

cheers
