DA40 TDi For Hire, UK?

Afternoon,

Does anybody know of anywhere that hires out a Diamond DA40 Diesel in the midlands/North West area at a decent rate? I've got about 10 hours (or so) on type and much prefer flying these rather than the usual tin can.

Thanks in advance!

Best tea chest !

If you dislike the " tin can's" as you so disparagingly call them have you considered flying a Robin DR400 ?

Manufactured from gods composite it will out perform all the metal aircraft in the class and no doubt will match the DA40.

Try to steer clear of the DR400-120 as it is a little underpowered, the -140 is a nice and very economic aircraft for short trips, the -140B & 160 (both 160HP) are the most economic for longer trips. The -180 has the best payload with a range that will require the carrage of a wide mouth bottle

The Robin also considered much nicer to fly but because of the large payload at MTOW it handels very differently to one loaded For the standard club search for the £150 hamburger.
