HI Everyone, I have the only prototype of the Diethrich Slick 540 and feel it is the best flying plane Dietrich has. Better than the 42% 260 and the 300 LP. The structure is solid, no problems with it. The plane is solid in precision and 3D. I am not the greatest pilot and I can do a slow roll from end to end straight and true. It 3D's awesome, no wing rock, does everything. Inverted flight is hands off on down elevator, not tail heavy either, very small amounts of coupling. Animal Jesky flew it also at the Ohio Huckfest and was impressed with it, loved the way it flew.

37.4 lbs. minus fuel
Hitec 7955's all around
3 - each wing
1 - each stab
2 - ganged on rudder inside pull-pull cable
3W 150
standard muffs
2 - Fromeco 5200's
2 - adjustable regs.
1 - Fromeco 2600
1 - fixed reg
3 - JR heavy duty switches
1 - JR AR9000 rx with 2 sat.

THX
