It's too bad that they aren't selling the diesel here. That would be the
one thing that would tempt me to buy one.

You're one of very few, then. The diesels cost significantly more money to buy
and the fuel isn't that much cheaper than gasoline.

but isn't the engine lighter, leading to more payload?

100LL is more $$ than Jet-A by an amount that is not insignificant. 50%?
Couple that with performance (fuel burn) numbers and the choice is obvious -
a double savings.

Also, Jet-A will continue to be available. Will 100LL? Sure, for a price -
small market, and shrinking!

Diesels are the future (more shrinking 100LL market). Start building them
and the prices *should* fall.

Where did you get that idea? Take another look at the Diamond Europe
price list.

The airspeed tape you need to lower the nose to get to a higher indication on the tape and raise the nose to get a lower indication on the tape. Yeah I know raising the nose to slow down and lowering it to speed up is basic. However when your are looking at the tape it is not.

I've never used a tape, but you could think of it like riding a horse -
pull up on the reins to slow down, crouch into the wind to speed up.

The Auto-pilot is another story.
The HDG,NAV and APR button work as one would expect. However altitude
navigation is confusing. I am still not sure i have it all figured out.
The ALT button toggles between alt hold and Vertical speed modes but not
all the time.
The auto-pilot seems like it is on but is really in standby mode. It
should indicate it is in standby mode but it does not. I started pushing
buttons and nothing happened.
