Mash' Allah first class trainer, these are modified motor-gliders and the ROTAX engines (or the newest Lycomings as fitted in the Cessna 182) are quite reliable. Very stable for training purposes. I believe one of the early DA20 models was named Katana...

They have a JV in China with Shandong Bin Ao Aircraft Industries for production of the DA40 TDI (Diesel) in Shandong Province.

I know the press release says Austria but don't know if these are Chinese-made or the Austrian-made ones...
