Re: Throttle position at idle?
On the C1's normally there is a stop on the fuel injector that you want to hit before you hit the stop in the cockpit. You should feel a little bounce when you push the throttle to the max in either direction. The stops for full throttle and for idle are located on the engine and not in the cockpit....

Re: Flaps
The DA20 has a flap overspeed inspection in the Maintenance Manual chapter 5 unusual occurrences. Not sure if the DA40 does but my guess is probably. It should give you a good baseline of where to look.

Re: Fire retardant paint
Interesting, I wonder if it will get approval on the DA20, what kind of cost is involved and if it is really any better??

Re: Plane pulls to the right
Normally what you would do is bend the tab in the direction that you want the wing to go. The DA 20 normally has a tab only on the left aileron. If you have a plane turning to the right then you would want more up aileron on the left wing to counteract the turn. Thus you would bend the tab down. If ...

Re: Doh!
Diamond has a service letter regarding the older nose gear struts which asks owners to NDT the strut at the lower welds as per a temporary revision to the maintenance manual. We had the stud holding the nut holding the nose wheel assembly break off. The student went for a flight and came back. When ...

Re: Exhaust Valves and Exhaust Risers
We (MFC) have spent a lot of money with Acorn on various parts such as exhaust parts for Diamond, Cessna and Piper. As well we have had DA20 steps repaired, worn out canopy arms etc. I would definitely give them a shout. They treat us well.
