Re: Da40 purchase
Hello Hans, Suggest you operate the plane in Europe.... The Diamond is a excellent plane for personal use. It needs a bit more care due to the composite airframe.

Re: N807DS across Europe
Hi Antoine, Norwich is also on my "to go list" actually Seething Airfield, EGSJ, that's next to our friend bed and breakfast house, Chedgrave House, June and Alan Paine.
This airport is very friendly and GA minded, much better choice than Norwich.
regards Thomas. Buochs

Re: How much should I pay for a DA40 battery?
Hi , I agree with Rick, just replaced mine, RG24-15M .... Same price in EUR. Did it myself. No big deal.
After 4-5 y its a good idea to replace the batt. Specially if you flying to places without the poss to get GND power.
