Diamond Katana Conversion
Hello all
I have about 90 hours on PA-28's, and having moved to och aye Scotland, am now considering continuing flying on a Diamond Katana. Anybody got any tips for me in terms of handling and general pilots notes for me before I go for my conversion stuff??
I know it has a VP prop, which will take some getting used to seeing as PA-28 pilots just have the big red "on off" lever!!!
Cheers

Katana DA20 - speeds same as C152. Has a stick and electric trim, handles a bit better than either C152 or PA28 but not much in it. Loads better visibility though. AFE do a series of books which are in effect condensed flight manuals; there is one on the DA20. Also do a search as there has been a thread on this before.
