N59LU - Diamond DA-42 - $269/wet

Aspen Flying Club

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star is a 4-seat, twin-engine aircraft equipped with Garmin 1000 avionics. It is an excellent choice for transitioning from single- to multi-engine aircraft, as well as for cross-country flights and weekend getaways.

This sleek four-seater was first certified in the United States in 2005 and has undergone some variations in its time. N59LU is an L360 model, which has dual Lycoming 180hp IO-360 engines.

The DA42 has a fantastic panoramic wrap-around canopy and large rear windows, making for excellent visibility for you and your passengers. There is ample storage in the fuselage baggage area and the two nose compartments – purposely designed for golf bags. And you can’t get much more aerodynamic than the carbon composite airframe, which is durable and safe.

For anyone looking to do Multi-Engine training, N59LU is a highly economical and fun option.
