Diamond DA40 NG - Cost to Own 

These are so good. You are criminally under subscribed.

Love Diamond, they are really ahead of everyone else in terms of what they're producing. If you think about it, it's kind of crazy that in 2022 other manufacturers want 500k-1MM for a plane with the same blue and red knobs that have been around since the 50s. Kudos to Diamond for pushing things forward. Now if only I had the cash for one haha....

First, these videos are so beneficial to the GA community and I greatly and highly appreciate the streamlining of information among all the Walkarounds. This is probably the most critically important aspect of what you’re doing. Second, are these dollar amounts in terms of USD or CAD? Finally, I put in a vote for a Walkaround of the Cherokee 6, preferably the 300.

long wingspan = good glide = safety; also, add up the savings due to using jet fuel over 1800 hrs and you get tremendous amount

Been looking for this content since starting my PPL! Great. Keep it up!

Thanks for doing this, definately my personal favorite!

Love these videos.. The Da42 & 62 are just beautiful.

I was just looking over your videos and I just wanted a new one, so I refreshed and boom. Here I am

These are awesome, concise, fun and chock full of insights…thank you. Any chance you can do Robinson R22 & R44?

I don't even want to buy or own any aircraft, but is fun to see the economics of aviation. :) Also, did you know that used prices of aircraft have increased due to the current world situation, cos people bought up a lot of general aircraft as a hobby during the lockdowns. My coworker flies a Cessna 152, and will be a certified pilot / flight instructor soon, so we have cool aviation conversations. We talked about supercooled water, and how that can freeze on the wing, sending the plane into a stall. Best not to fly in those conditions, lol...

Just flew 15 hours in this airplane. I love the NG version. So easy to start

Spot-On about the 38’ wingspan being a big problem for hangar space. The Cirrus is about 39’. 😱

Awesome video! Do the PA-30 Twin Comanche next please!!!

These videos so satisfying to watch 🤩

Love it, straight to the point and a bit funny

Thank you for the DA40!

Awesome breakdown

Maybe a Grumman AA1B next? Love the videos!

Diamond DA 42 would be a great video too!

can confirm the hangar part, we have 2 standard DA-40s here for the flying club and putting their planes back at the end of the night always makes me a bit nervous and im not even the one towing

I love your videos, they've been extremely helpful being that I'm new to the world of aviation, if you have time would you be able to do a Fairchild merlin lll

Tons of diamonds flying around near my house, they're nice little planes, I really like them!

Hey, would you mind doing the Piper cub and/or the Citabria next? I'm just super curious because they're my favorite planes ever!

Brilliant love your work. What about the Lear35A???

This is the best You need more subs

Big fan of Diamonds. I'd love to have a DA-62

Twins not in vogue?! I go to bed dreaming of a DA-62. Gods, what an amazing airplane! 🤤🤤🤤

Can you do a video on the Cirrus Vision Jet?

One thing I experienced flying this cross country across Australia is the seats, it feels like a plank of wood that they stuck foam on.

Do the Cirrus SF50! Fun aircraft

Hey, love your videos man! Could you do a light sport aircraft like a JMB VL3 or a bristell b23?

Love your in depth videos. Would you be able to geek out on a T206H?

Loving the videos! Could you do a Cessna 206 Stationair?

One magical day there will be a BD4c video like this

Do their twins?! I'm curious on your take on the DA42!!

Awesome, can you do the pc12 ?

Can you do a Cessna 414? I used to fly one and I love them!

CESSNA P210 SILVER EAGLE PLEASE :)

Hi Sir, greetings from Argentina. I just found out your chanell and already subscribed to it. I pretty much like these short and comact videos with relevant information. I saw them all in a roll. Here is a question for you: would you consider on doing a review of the Diamond D62 bi-engine airplane? As an aviation enthusiast, in my modest opinion, it is one of the most elegant modern airplanes reacently developed. Thank you.

my guy growing fast! remember me!

Can you profile a LANCAIR LX7 piston version? Also a Lancair 360 or legacy maybe too?

Yes, exactly. I want to but a DA40 😊... Safety is why.

Can you do the Citation CJ3+ and the Citation M2.

Pls do 1 on Daimond DA20 that's the 1 im flying

Diamond DA20 please

Chances are, if you can afford a DA40, you don't really have to worry about pocket change like operating costs

You should do a 737/747/787 and/or 319/320/350 for funsies.

Could you do Piper Seneca

Yeah. Im a car guy, im gunna watch all these tonight

Can you do the twin?

Hey, can you do a Cessna 340A????

Do Piper Comanche 250. Probably the best high performance, bang-for-buck 4-seater ever produced. 155 knots at 14 gph with great useful load. Shame they don't make them anymore.

Do the Piaggio p.180 please!

Any chance of doing cost of ownership.on Piper Saratoga!! Cheers and Thx

I’d love to see a piaggio video

Could you do an RV-8?

So it's a diesel engine, that can run on jet fuel? Is there any long term issues using jet fuel over diesel? Or just really good engineering?

F35 possibly? I've heard they're too expensive for even the US government and I'm interested how that scales down to me

Thank you Can’t find one with 900lbs payload though most have ac and electric everything so yeah more like 750

You should mention the life-limited airframe time on the TCDS ;-)

They're super new, so I'm not sure if there's enough data out yet, but I'd love to see one on the Pipestral Panthera!

Can you do an a380?

These are used as trainers for a reason. They're solid

Review on a Diamond DA60?

Do Grumman tiger

I heard from an owner that the cost of insurance is like $2,500 really, $4,500 is on the higher side. I am looking on buying a DA40D with one of those Thielert engine as a flight school is winding up business. Maybe with diesel I can save fuel cost for quite a lot.

@Complete Walkaround sir, is there any chance you can do for us DA42-VI or DA62 cost overview?

I own a DA40, want to get a 62, but wingspan needs wider hangar :(

Please do the Beechcraft Sundowner

I'm looking to buy a vintage aircraft. Specifically a 1947 Stinson 108-3. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks

King air 200 next?

Can you do Beechcraft Bonanza next? Please! Your videos are of excellent quality.

Great Video! I’ve been looking at getting a home built Aerobatics plane, leaning toward the Vans RV-8. Any chance you would do a break down if costs for dreamers like me?

what about the DA20?!

Diamond really is some national pride

DA62 please ;-)

I'd love to see a PA-24 video. We sell quite a few and would be happy to assist.

Variable and fixed is added to yearly cost with the hours per year you fly? Or do i have to add it ontop of the yearly?

DA62?

Clearly you need to budget for a bunch of pool noodles to line the side walls of your 40' hangar. (Or budget for a larger hanger.)

Are you going to dip into experimental aircraft? I’m think about getting the Sonex when I get older for fun.

Plz Cessna 210

cirrus vision sf50!!

Torn between this and a Sling TSi. Flown a DA-40 TDI (IO-360 powered), the Sling-2 (Sling TSi's smaller although older brother), and three different C-182. The C-182 I didn't like at all. Heavy, poor visibility, burns a ton of gas, while is not THAT fast nor THAT good of a useful load. Sling TSi haven't flown but it's a sized-up Sling-2 and the Sling-2 were super easy to fly. The only thing specific to them - reduce the cruise speeds Sling boasts by about 15%. Sling-2 do NOT cruise at 120 TAS, more like 105. And I do not believe the TSi will cruise at 150 either. More like 125. DA-40 are fast (140 TAS for real) and sleekest of the three. BECAUSE of the long wings you hate on here :-D They aren't heavy to move around and I can draw some guidelines on the pavement to push it in precisely, even if that means only 6" of wingtip clearance... Great visibility. And damn - IMHO they are just the sexiest-looking of the three!

P51D cost to own as well as FK51 cost to own

Do a 737 BBJ next lol

“Butt puckering experience” love it

"People who have flown the Austro engine report it has less vibrations and it's quieter" Part of what's interesting about this to me is, it's a Diesel, and often automotive Diesel engines are marginally noisier/more vibration-prone than gas engines. But then, cars nowadays do not use engines that have more Liters (displacement) than cylinders.

DA20?

DA42 would be awesome. That's the plane I'll buy once I hit the lottery ;)

This totally ignores the aquistion cost and loan payment, which is can be the biggest portion.

Could you make one for e.g. a B767 private ownership? I mean, for real - that would be a "killer"-vid for april fools'

Cessna T210N?

could you make a vid of cost of ownership of VL3? Its an incredibly popular ultralight that flies as fast as Cirrus and if ordered today, it would arrive in 2023

Next: How much does it really cost to own a Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

kind of like 4 People Light electric glider

"That'll be a real butt puckering experience squeezing that in and out of your 40 foot hanger" --> meanwhile, my glider club play's tetris with 8 gliders in a single hanger!!! I fly the 20, have experience in the 40, they are awesome trainers

cessna 310 !!!

Diamond is far ahead of all of the piston aircraft manufacturers.

If you're taking suggestions... Beech Bonanza!
