Does the Robotow fit?

Maybe. We want to see your Diamond's nose wheel first.

Confirm with us.

Confirm with us. We have not confirmed the Diamond DA20, DA40 or DA42 yet, so we will not say it fits. Send two photos of your nose gear, one straight on from the front and one from the side at axle height, or call us, and we will tell you straight which adapter it takes, if any.

Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm Eastern

Why

No Robotow adapter on our list is made for the DA20, DA40 or DA42 nose gear yet, and we have not checked a Diamond. Until we see yours, we will not say it fits.

Two things decide it. First, the drum has to reach the nose tire. If your Diamond flies with a fairing on the nose wheel, it does not fit with the fairing on. Second, the unit needs an adapter that holds it to your nose gear.

What to photograph

  • The nose gear straight on from the front. Stand back far enough to show the tire and the whole fork.
  • The same gear from the side, camera at axle height.
  • If a fairing covers the nose wheel, tell us whether it comes off, and take the photos with it off if you can.
  • Tell us the model and year: DA20, DA40 or DA42.

What to do instead

Email the photos from the contact page, or call 419-331-0371, 8:00am to 4:30pm Eastern. We will tell you which adapter it takes, or that none does, before you see a price.

Diamond owners who also fly a Cessna or Piper single can check the Cessna 172, 182 and 206 page and the Piper Cherokee page. Read how fairings work with the Robotow too.

Questions pilots ask

Does the Robotow fit a Diamond DA40 with the wheel fairing on?

No. With a fairing on the nose wheel, the drum cannot touch the tire. With it off, send us photos and we will check.

What if my photos show it does not fit?

We tell you plainly, and you can leave your email on this page in case that changes. A unit that cannot move your airplane is no use to you.
