Update on 62.C057: Flight testing is scheduled to begin on 4/13 with delivery by the end of April. It's been a long wait but it's finally starting to feel real!

That sounds about right. We think they can make two planes per month in Canada. C053 flight tested in mid-February, my C055 is supposed to be mid-March.

Re: DA62 on order or recently delivered?
For those that are interested, here are some gizmos and accessories that I have now bought or ordered for my new DA62:
Upgraded landing/tax light ballasts
Aerosheep charcoal gray front and middle row sheepskin covers
Airmoto tire inflator (on Amazon, very inexpensive and compact)
Jet Shades (they are about to start shipping Gen2 jet shades for the DA 62 - thinner and more durable than the original. I saw them at OSH last year and think they will be good)
Ceramic coating is scheduled for weekend of 4/21 (I have had Aviana do ceramics on all my planes except the Carbon Cub). They do a great job.
Still looking at some other items, including the new Beringer tire pressure monitors that fit underneath the tubeless tires and communicate with an app on your phone. And Jet Shades are critical because its warm in there folks without them!!
PS - many thanks to my instructor Mike Meadows for some of those items … I wish I could use the Airmoto on my M600 but the pressure is too high and my plane partner (who tried it) said it just took forever to get to the higher pressures, draining the battery and the tube got too hot). But it works great on the lower pressure Diamond tires.

Re: DA62 on order or recently delivered?
With respect to tire inflation, I use the following, also from Amazon. I found that the key part is the JACO hose as it fits the valves. The straight connector that comes with the pump would not.
JACO Lightning L2X Tire Inflator Hose Extension Self Locking Nozzle | Patented Lock-on Air Hose Adapter for Tire Pumps (Open Flow)
for "tire inflator extension tube"
$27.90
Acpatur Portable Air Compressor Tire Inflator, 150 PSI &2X Faster,Cordless Easy Operation,Accurate LCD Screen-Air Pump for Cars,Bikes, Motorcycles, Balls, Not Suitable for Trucks
$69.99

Nice photos! You’re going to like having the orange paint. My airplane gets a lot of positive comments generally and on the paint specifically!!

I still haven’t seen an orange 62 in person, so I’m glad to hear that you and others like it!MackAttack wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 8:39 pm Nice photos! You’re going to like having the orange paint. My airplane gets a lot of positive comments generally and on the paint specifically!!
