This posting (and replies) is very interesting to me. I own an old C310
and the expense and difficulty of maintenance is beginning to get to me
(especially with the threat of a new spar AD on all 310s). The DA-42
looks like a great substitute


Just looking at the pictures, it certainly looks like the DA-42 isn't going
to be a replacement for a 310, not in cabin size. Probably not speed-wise
either.


In speed it will beat my 310. I get 165 to 170 KTAS at 25 gal/hr.
