All,

I heard this weekend some rumors that Columbia is working on known-ice
certification for the E-vade system on the 400, and that Diamond will
be producing a DA42 with larger diesel engines. Anyone know anything
more about either of these?

There was a picture of a DA-50, with a "possible 350 HP Diesel/Gasoline
engine". Prototype pictu

At one time there was rumor that Diamond was going to build a DA-42
with IO-360s. Don't know where it is in the process of it will ever
actually come out.
