Da-42 poh?
 
Anyone have an electronic copy of the DA-42 POH that I could get a copy of? I am going to start training in one and was hoping to track down a copy.

Which engine Lycoming, Thielert, or Austro? Flew the NG for some re-positioning. Kind of impossible to get a hard landing.

Haha, it's so fun to land. I think the relatively high aspect ratio helps a lot. Lots of people credit the trailing link, but I think there's more to it.

I had my first flight yesterday. After flying a C-172 it is a BIG difference. I had some issues keeping level. It seemed like as soon as I got it trimmed out, it would start to climb again. It seemed very touchy.

It's probably you. :p
I had the same problem with the Seminole. I couldn't hold pitch for Sh!#.
But the flight back from a successful checkride was rock solid. :cool:

How was the landing?

It wasn't bad at all. No flare though just bring it in flat and let it sink down. You feel a lot taller in that thing that my 172 though so the gear is touching down and it feels like you should have another foot to go but you are on the ground. Very easy to land.
