Attention Diamond Aircraft Fans!

I bet this is an older plane, but I have searched for a loooong time to find anything that resembles a Diamond airplane for FMS.

This is the link to a Diamond Dimona. It is very similar to the very popular Da20. Just a slightly bigger wingspan. If you read up on the actual airplane, you'll see that it is used for surveillance in some countries. It is actually classified as a powered glider, so it must be amazing on fuel.

Here's the link...

Sorry I'm so chatty. I'm just really happy to find one of my absolute favorite planes. This flies like a graceful bird, or a homesick angel when you gun it.

Let me know what you think of it.

God bless Tobias Pfaff for this creation!

I remember the real-life Dimona comming out in the early 80's I believe it was 1981 or 1982. At least I vividly remember seeing one in the Netherlands in '83 , touring over the Oosterschelde estuaria for days in a row (I was on holiday sailing on the lakes there) . From what I remember, the Dimona was a 2-person powered glider, although the one I remember was always cruising on engine. I have to download the plane and test it in my FMS dune landscape to see how it does as a glider. I believe tweaking its *par file to give it just enough fuel for like 1 1/2 minute of engine power and then flying it sharp against the mountainsides of the 'Switserland' landscape would be a worthy challenge.


... but I digress,
