I concur with Chuffer.

DR400 is a very nice aeroplane. OK they told the guy making the panel how many holes they wanted and of what size and left him to get on with it. Then the guy fitting the instruments got them out of the box in no particular order and arranged them artistically in whatever holes fitted.

It's delightful to fly. The only gripe I have concerns getting in and out where the tendency is to support oneself using the seatbck. This overstresses the frame which then breaks. Fortunately I had just shut down and was reaching for the canopy catch when dumped unceremoniously into a prostrate position. Could have been a tad tricky on final.
