In this video we talk about the safest twing engine general aviation plane in the world - Diamon DA42 Twin Star! This twin engine airplane comes from Diamond Aircraft Industries, and has smaller Diamond DA20 and larger Diamond DA62. In this diamond da 42 twin star review we talk about the diamond da42 engines, fuselage, interior, compare diamond da42 iv and diamond da42 ng, and see how it flies! This might be the best twin engine for cross country flights.

Not only safe, but Diamonds are the sexiest birds out there. They’re like the Ferraris of the skies.

You are putting out some good content so far, keep at it. As you asked...…I would be interested in the story of Beechcraft, why they are seemingly always a bit more luxurious, capable, rarer, and more expensive. I'm not a pilot, just interested in aviation.

Thank you so much! Truly appreciated! Will do a video about Beechcraft soon!

Is it true that those engines have a TBR (time between replacement) specification instead of TBO (time between overhaul)? In this case, does it not negate the effect of the the Diesel engine's better fuel economy? I wonder how expensive it will be to replace the engines at 1,800 hours with brand new ones. This should certainly be accounted for, in the per-hour cost calculation for theses airplanes.

Made of composites, no body really knows what will be with aging. How many cracks could propagate before failure?

Sorry, but the operating cost of the tecnam is much lower than the da42. It is not a smart idea to fill AVGAS into a rotax engine. In europe, we would fill in MOGAS (regular gasoline) which is generally cheaper than Jet-A1. Then the maintenance on a diesel engine is more expensive than a gasoline engine. Then the hanger cost of a da42 13.6m wingspan is more expensive than a tecnam 11.4m wingspan. I would still rather have a DA42 than a tecnam.

So why the L360 version. Which has a LYCOMING 360? Cos the diesel was unreliable

I ferried approximately 1k of these planes. No issue. I have even a photo of St. Peter and St. Pauls Rock !

@@davefoord1259 I must admit that ferry flying is quite a moderate operation for the airplane. Two legs per day, five hours each, with long range power setting (64%). Max power just two times per day ! Flight training stresses the engines much more. It is the number of cycles that destroyes the engine. It should also be noted that the Diamonds installed three different engines into the DA42, the 1600 Thielert, the 2000 Thielert and the Austro Engine. The 1600 Thielert was a bad Engine. 2000 Thielert and Austro Engine were quite good. 2000 Thielert had best high altitude capability (F300) !
