44' wingspan. It wouldn't fit in my hangar, and I have a 310. 180-ish knots on 9gph is cool.  It would be the Prius of singles.

Won't fit in a standard tee-hangar. I know a couple mechanics who won't work on them any more because Diamond apparently sucks at warranty reimbursements. They want shops to pay up front for warranty parts, then wait months to be reimbursed.

It's what a 2020 Bonanza should be. I love it.
Pressurize it and it'd really get my attention.

Looks very impressive. I hope they sell a ton of them. The only detail I didn´t like was how you load the baggage. It seems you can scratch the plane with a cooler or such. Does the twin version load the bags the same way?

JetA is inevitably much cheaper than Avgas too.
Does not look like it has a chute?

REALLY love those doors and the overall looks. I know I can't afford one so I won't even ask.................. It amazes me how different people can be when looking at the same thing. To me it looks like it crashed into the ugly tree and took out most of the branches on the way down.

3,175 lbs. empty. 4,400 max gross. It needs that 44' long wing.

Here's to hoping they hang two of those engines on a beefed up DA62.
