I think the major issue with training on a DA42 is the fully integrated FADEC system leading to rather minimalist controls and much simplified handling. I may not have my facts right but I suspect there arn't even any prop levers. I think the thing is auto everything (feather, prop, fuel...you name it!). It just knows the best settings for any given configuration. Push forward for faster, pull back for slower...more like a jet than a prop if you see what I mean.
