Absolutely no! Totally depends on the mission. It doesn't
fit yours, even with the long range tanks, because you need
to move four people all the time over long distances? Ok,
the Star is not for you. But I truly wonder how many people
really need that.


In Europe it is different, no doubt. But the D-40 seems too well
equipped to be just another C-172/Archer level puddle jumper. I really
like a lot of things about the airplane, it's just too bad it can't
carry a little more a little farther.
