Everyone Has a Fart story! They are always hilarious!
Yea you are gonna be eating your knees man... The 20 is comfortable little plane, but even for me I thought the rudder pedals didnt go back far enough.... Good luck!
What University? I started my training at MTSU..

DA20s are fun to spin too.
YouTube - Spins
Invest in a good pair of sunglasses if you're flying the DA20. And do they have a DA20 with a glass cockpit or is it a DA40? I've flown a DA40 with a G1000, but a DA20 with glass is a little overkill if you ask me.

haha yea I almost spun one out doing some stall stuff, but never intentionally
I haven't came across a DA20 with a glass set up before... the DA40 seems to be pretty common though... Either way, you are right about the sunglasses... That canopy is nice, but man is it bright...

Already bought me some okleys 
They have the G1000's but no glass. I'm going to University of Alaska Anchorage they want to buy more diamonds and they might be getting glass in them. The only thing I'm waiting on to start flying is a plane and an instructor. So if any CFI's are looking for work go to UAA so i can start flying!! 
I like sitting so I'll make do with the smaller cockpit, as the cessnas cost more to get my License in.

After MTSU, and me coming to the realization I was getting reamed... I did the bulk of my training in a 152... a 1970's hold over, with no heat, no a/c, and most of the instruments worked! Best plane I ever flew...

expensive 2. i saw adiamond on my solo x/c and a 17 year old kid got out of it. he started up talked to ground and then realized he didnt pull the chocks then after he takes off talking to departure he squawks the wrong code. i understand we make mistakes but making them on your own in a 200,000k plus airplane i would say is kinda pushing it :P

Thats nothing..... Here at MTSU we had two instructors decide to do *real* engine failures out over a lake. Needless to say the engine didnt start and kersplunk!!!
