Diamond DA-42

What's do you think about the new twin DA-42 from Diamond ?

Joe

I'll let you know when I get to see one.

You really gotta wonder when they don't bring it to Oshkosh...

Peter,

No, you don't, IMHO. They test-fly it, real hard. They don't do
vaporware, but rather work on delivering.

G.Vassalli,

the concept is very interesting. Available data is very interesting.
Announced pricing is very interesting. Now, all of this interesting
stuff has to show up "in a store", so to speak, to really judge what
it's like.

Big thread a while back about a Company bring their new light jet
(Eclipse 500???) to OSH with only 20 hours on it. Compnay was really
ripped here by some for doing that.

Now we find the same 'group' questining why another company didn't
bring their new low time aircaft to OSH?

Guess sometimes people can't win for losing.

Was that the Adam 700? The A-700 is their twin jet, on the A-500 (centerline
thrust designed) platform.

Eclipse has a flying jet, but not mated to productions engines - yet.

I missed that thread. Link anyone?

You are correct, it was the Adam 700???

They got FAA permission to fly to OSH with only 20 hours of flight
test and flew it gear down because they hadn't opened that part of the
envelope yet in their testing.

They were ripped up by some on this thread for being 'dangerous' and
flying to OSH to display to the 'troops'.

Go to Google and search for " Adam 700 Oshkosh"

That took place on RAH. The criticism was made by zoom, aka james cambell,
I believe.
