Guys, I'm looking for anyone who may have dealt the this particualr plane. I'm flying the AW 50cc 260 with a DA. Very pleased with the capabilities, but want to move into something a little bigger, that won't require me to buy a trailer to move it. The supporting equipment is a no brainer, but can't find any background on the Deitrich plane itself, I can't find out if it carries the same quality of build that you can get with the Aeroworks line. I'd like to hear from anyone who might have knowledge of this line of planes and their quality.260.jpg |

Yo K, The plane is great, it flies like it is on rails and has a roll rate that is faster than most can keep up with. The build is easy and the plane is set up for a canister, any of the singles will work well with it we have one with a DA, and one with a ZDZ that we have been wringing out for a while now. On mine I replaced the stock control rods with H9 turnbuckles and DuBro ball ends and used everything else, with the DA on it it came out a whopping 19.8lbs and with the ZDZ 19.4lbs. The plane has no bad tendencies, no wing walk at low speed and doesn't want to land unless you harrier it in or slip it in where it wont lift on you. While doing rolling moves it doesn't bleed off roll rate like the AW dose and will do anything your little heart desires because of the stiffness of the plane with the new Dietrich copyrighted construction on the sides of the planes. Everyone who has flown it so far calls this a 40% trainer because it flies like a 40% in stability but rolls and tumbles like a much smaller plane while still being rock solid for IMAC flying perfect axial strait and true. The picture is off the new Dietrich 75cc Extra 260 video that will be on the Dietrich site next week and a few of the sites like DOD and TFC. Feel free to PM me or send me a e-mail if you have any more questions.
