Hi, all,

Does anyone have any experience with the Daimond DA-40-180? We saw one
at Sun 'n Fun and we're thinking of buying it.


Only had a short flight in it (I flew both as PIC and as a back seat
passenger) in a 2001 model.

I found it to be better performing in all respects compared to a 200-hp
Piper Arrow. The visibility from the left seat was great. Being able to
get in the back door as a rear seat passenger was helpful. It flies very
nicely. Pity I can't afford one!
