DA40XLS -- Not Your Average DA40
ANN recently had the chance to fly the Diamond DA40XLS, and the
airplane offers some significant upgrades over the company's base
model airplane. The airplane flown by ANN is equipped with the
new scimitar prop, which gives the airplane some additional speed
and climb performance, according to Premier Aircraft Sales Regional
Sales Manager Michael Fabianac. He said the airplane flew to St.
Augustine, FL from Ft, Meyers at about 147 knots consuming about
10.5 GPH for the flight.
