    I work close to the London plant, on midnights I’ll be standing outside and watching pilots test fly the planes made in our community. So quiet you hear them then immediately see them, not like old Cessna planes that roar like out of control lawn mowers. Beautiful aircraft we are proud to produce in London Ontario Canada!

    What a beautiful and capable aircraft! Its stall characteristics (watched more recent videos than this) are nothing short of amazing. Outside of losing altitude at a gradual rate, the DA62 (and many other DA craft) maintains aileron and rear stabilizer control(!!) in stall conditions!

    Would be awesome if Diamond Aircraft would offer: optional dual side panel mounted control sticks, and/or dual rams horn yokels. Aso, because of size/7-place, average flight mission and the power-plants, Diamond should offer an optional pressurized cabin. If any GA twin should have these options, it is the Diamond DA-62...imho. Happy/Safe Flying!

    Yes yes yes and yes, i agree!! Side sticks for me please, and a lav in the third row, lift the seat cushion and voila! Pressurization is gonna be super cool if you have kids, they never seem to be comfortable with those nose adapters, and kinda dangerous too (for kids)
