Gemstone Directors test out the new Diamond DA50!

Gemstone Aviation directors, Chris Dawes and Henrik Burkal, were recently invited to the Diamond Aircraft factory in Austria to try out the new DA50RG. This was their first opportunity to get their hands on one and put it through its paces.  They weren’t disappointed.

Chris commented after taking the controls. “We’ve flown most of the Diamond range and we both love how they handle.  So, with Diamond bringing out a new aircraft, we both naturally had very high expectations. I was very impressed with the ease of handling, performance and comfort of the DA50RG. It looks fantastic as well!”

Henrik added “I really enjoyed flying the DA50RG, the safety of this aircraft is outstanding. The Diamond engineers encouraged me to fly it ‘on the edge’ to see how it handled”.  It coped admirably and all the manoeuvres were both easy to perform and safely executed.”

n fact, Henrik and Chris were so impressed with the plane, as soon as they’d landed, they immediately ordered a new DA50RG demonstrator, which will be delivered to the UK in the spring of 2021. They’re hoping to have access to an earlier factory demonstrator sooner.  Customers who have registered an interest with Gemstone will be contacted as soon as they have a demonstrator available.

If you would like to talk to Chris and Henrik about the DA50RG and their thoughts about flying one,  you are welcome to call them.
