I think you have a typo in your article on the Diamond DA42 VI in the May 2012 issue in describing the performance of the current DA42 NG. In one part of the article, you said that the NG model at 8.3 gallons per side (about 90 percent power) could only do 167 knots. It was capable of speeds as high as 184 knots at 14,000 feet­—the highest altitude 90 percent power was available from the Austros in the NG.
