Default New Plane Owner

It has been a while since I posted and viewed the rec.aviation groups.
I sold my 1958 C310 nearly 3 years ago and have been waiting for my
new plane to arrive. I am now the "proud" owner of a DA42 (Diamond
Twin Star) and I have a total of 6 hours in this plane. While I am
still learning what the Garmin G1000 can do, I have found that the
plane is a dream to fly (but maybe I am prejudiced). After I have more
time in it I will be happy to post my experience. So far I can say the
plane is too easy to land. The trailing link gear seems to absorb
miscalculations better than my C310 and far better than the SR22 I
have been flying the last year.

You'll like the G1000. Its a nice system to fly and really not much
different than having a 430 after you get used to it. I have seen some
bugs, but Garmin puts out patches.
