Re: Where do I put the gas?

Welcome Tyson, I am sure you are going to love your DA40. I never fly without briefing and filing on ForeFlight so I owe you if you need anything.

Re: Fuel cap Key

I ordered canopy and fuel cap keys for my XL from Diamond directly. The fuel cap key was less expensive and both came precut when odered with the aircraft serial number. :)

Re: Tow Bar

I bought a Brackett TH-5B and it works great. I pull/push it with a golf cart with a ball on the front.

Re: Euro Crisis hits GA in Italy

JoeyL, that is just the annual registration tax. There is also a sales or use tax that ranges from 6.875% to over 7.5% of the purchase price on a new or used aircraft purchase. That is just part of why they call Minnesota the "Land of 10,000 Taxes."

Nice video, I have flown over MSP but never landed there. ANE is a great GA airport for the Twiin Cities. I guess it depends on which part of the city you are planning to visit.

Re: Rudder Cable Repacement

Thanks to Gary and Rick. I guess i better start saving as I have a 2007XL. Does it need to be done by five years from the placed in service date or can it wait until the next annual (four months later)?

Re: Rudder Cable Repacement

Can you remove them, inspect them, and replace the originals if they are in good condition? Or does replace mean the replacements must be new?
