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....

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

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.

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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.

[maestro]

Diamond DA 42 would be a great video too!

[Machinegun]

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

[michaelkoury]

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.

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

[Fynnley]

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

[michaelhoffmann]

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

[ramama]

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

[teenagestacker]

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

[thefunfactman]

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