I’d be interested in

- general servicing, beyond oil… gearbox and coolant. Walking through a 100/300/600h with pictures

- tales from the maintenance hangar. What difficult problems owners have faced and how they’ve solved them

- international flying trips! I’m based in Puerto Rico and I’m sure there are a lot of more far flung diamond pilots in South America / Europe / Asia / Africa

- running past TBO / TBR, practical stories from owners
