The Diamond planes looked a lot like the model planes I am around, just on a bigger scale. I did like that the props had a weird de-icing system. There were three small tubes at the base of the blades and behind the spinner, one tube that was stationary coming out of the engine area that squirted the solution into a centrifugal device that then sprayed each blade. The leading edges also had thousands of laser cut holes that let the solution spread over the edges.
If I understood correctly, the Diamond Twin does not need a multi-engine rating.
