Re: 3M Polish kit

Further to this discussion -- I'm interested in the safest way to remove an old decal from my DA40. Not one of the decorative decals -- they still look ok -- but an old Connecticut state/town registration sticker. I've tried peeling and (very light) scraping but just can't get the bulk of it off. I...

Re: Outdated Garmin G1000 software - petition sign-up

My correspondence with Diamond in Austria confirmed that they do read this forum; they are not oblivious. It kind of reminds me of the Telsa forums. Tesla does not comment, but they certainly "lurk" and know what's being discussed. Diamond Canada is clearly struggling with the basics of pr...

Re: Outdated Garmin G1000 software - petition sign-up

Great work Scott! Will AOPA focus on Diamond, or take up the broader issue of the Mfg/Garmin/FAA triumvirate that must cooperate to keep our avionics up to date?

And does this suggest that perhaps this entire thread should be moved to an AOPA forum?

Re: G1000 Trainer on Windows 10

I think you can download an entirely legal and free copy of v13 of the PC trainer from Sporty's.

The embedded links don't seem to obvious so here it is again:

Well, if they only have one support person today, then it looks like they are doubling the support!

Re: G1000 Trainer on Windows 10

I have been unable to find anything about purchasing the G1000 PC Trainer on the Garmin web site. I did find a free download of v13 on Sporty's which seems to work, other than it's giving me a couple of advisory comments. It wants me to register with Garmin Connext, which doesn't exist anymore. I ge...

Re: Diamond Aircraft Owner's Seminars/Panels/Training/Fly-ins?

OK. I was able to add my name tonight. I find Max is always informative and educational. You could turn it around and ask Max to present on whatever he thinks is important for Diamond owners to know about G1000 / NXi.

Re: Diamond Aircraft Owner's Seminars/Panels/Training/Fly-ins?

Sorry Scott, the sheet still comes up as "View Only". Regarding topics for Diamond: - NG engine orientation. I've read the AFM, but obviously issues come up and some are reported here. We know that ECU Failure has nothing to do with the ECU, can Diamond expand on that and give us a better ...

Re: Diamond Aircraft Owner's Seminars/Panels/Training/Fly-ins?

Just tried the link and got a permission error. I’ll be at LVK. Need to think further about activities and topics for Max.
