Dietrich Extra 260 30%

ericb · 10-05-2008, 05:41 PM

I was able to purchase one of these, and I was wondering if you guys had any tips with it. This will be my first gasser. I have a new DL50 for power. I have 5645's for the ailerons and elevators. I have a 5955 for the rudder. Will this be adequate for the servos? I am starting to practice more 3D flying, so I think these should work for now. I have a 2 cell lipo with flightpower 8A regulator for the receiver power. I don't have the ignition battery picked out yet. What would be best for the ignition? Just a 4.8V pack? I have been flying planes for years, so I have knowledge on nitro planes, but not on gassers. I have loved the Dietrich plane ever since I saw it. I am getting it used. How is the included hardware? Thanks for the help.

I was also wondering where to download a manual as I will not pick up my plane until next week and would like to know some info.

Nice flying plane, 4.8 will work in your ign. I use lithium ion 2600MAH with duralite regulators and 5200 lithuium ion with duralite reg for rx both purchased from TBM.

Welcome to the 30% class you will enjoy it, like flying a big trainer IMHO! Its true the bigger they are the better they fly!

Does anybody know where to download the manual?

At their web site

ericb · 10-06-2008, 11:21 AM

I can not for the life of me find it on their website.

at the top of some of the pages here on FG is an ad for the 75cc version 260 click on it and it will take you to their site

ericb · 10-06-2008, 05:52 PM

You should know that the 5645's have a centering issue. My 645's do better. And for some unknown reason the 5645 started changing it's center altogether by about 20 degrees.

It is only ONE bad servo but it is the only 5645 I own.

Couldn't find a manual link for the 50cc, but did find one for the 75. Probably pretty similar...
