Lovely airplane. Always liked the Diamonds. I like them better than Cirrus.

I’m assuming that, like other small piston single aircraft crossing the North Atlantic, the DA50 RG required the installation of ferry tanks for additional fuel capacity. Does anyone know?

No ferry tanks are needed. A survival suit and raft, I believe. None of the legs are that long.

Great concept; and it can do the flight without extra tanks.
Still; the Diamond twins have more range; how about a couple more hours of fuel for the DA50
And; hopefully some aerodynamic tweaks to increase the cruise speed to make it more competitive with other fast singles.
