Re: Time for TKS to Coat Wings
When I initially got the plane, I tried to run all panels wet and once it took a looooooong time. And I was still missing one panel. I used 20-30 litres of fluid. The next day, it worked instantly, all panels were wet. At the risk of thread drift, how do you deal with the dripping TKS fluid in the ...

Re: Time for TKS to Coat Wings
My experience is like Michael's, lots of low pressure warnings if I start up on Normal. Chris is right about the duty cycle and that explains the long start up time in Normal. Emir's approach of starting in Max, then dialing back once they are coated sounds wise.

Re: DA40NG - CO detector needed?
It's a car style water to air heater so there is less risk of CO in the cabin. But it's still an internal combustion engine generating CO. I always used one. The Lightspeed Delta Zulu has one built in, or you can buy a small one like this: https://sensorcon-sensing-products-by-molex.myshopify.com/pr...

Re: How to best buy a Diamond Aircraft and afford the lifestyle
To Rich's point, partnerships can be challenging. I suggest the best way to share your plane is through a dry lease, not co-ownership. The economics can be similar but you remain in control. There are other threads here which discuss dry leasing.

Make the instrument rating a priority before taking long cross country trips with the family.

Hi guys, here is an update from our Service Center in Germany. On our engines (newer ones, depending on the Serial-Number)-two DA40 NG's and one DA62- ONLY the CAPS have to be changed.

You've asked the distributor to determine if your engine is on the MSB list?

Re: TKS line rubbing on governor
Use the full editor and add the photos as an attachment. What did the shop say was the actual liquid that was on your cowling? I seems unrelated to the TKS hose chafe problem. I'm not sure what the entire "prop assembly" would be. If it's chafing on the governor, why not just replace the g...
