    The more our guy talked the more on board I got! Sounds like they really want to make a flyers plane, and I dig that. Not sure how well bubble canopy training will help civilian pilots destined for side be side offices but it could encourage making a flyer first and a pilot second.
    Also I know he said maintenance would be easier, but two piece fuses mean less options to get inside and fix things. I think the same thing about Diamond Aircraft and TTx’s. You gotta hope nothing goes wrong EVER

      Interesting. My old man is an ancient A&P, and I'm interested in both this and Diamond. Would you be able to expound in that a bit, so that I can poorly articulate that to him, save him from figuring that out in his own? 🤣 It's important enough to factor into a buying decision 🤘

      Looking down the list your the first person to make any sensible comment.
      It comes with an IO-320 with 160hp. I doubt the 540 would fit so a 200 or 215 hp IO-360/390 or similar would be better. But the thing I noticed are the G limits +4.4G -2.0G *ITS NOT EVEN AEROBATIC RATED*
      It look real good but the fact it doesn't have basic let alone full aerobatics makes it a bit suspect.

      Yeah this plane is kind of neat in its way, but the numbers just don't add up. What actual role is it supposed to do. The Tandem seating has an issue. The instructor can't see what the student is actually doing. Its one fo the most fundamental aspects of basic flight training.
      When I first graduated the RAAF (Australia) had an RFP for a basic trainer and the 1st requirement was for side by side seating specifically so instructors could watch their students. The philosophy was - Once they have their basic cockpit behaviour settled then tandem's fine.
