[BOSSIER_ROB]

I am posting this only to make people aware of this problem and not to bash Dietrich. Both of my wings are broke. They broke where the ailerons begin, in the corner where the wing continues all the way to the trailing edge. The wings cracked all the way through and the wing root rib is all that keeps it together. The crack follows the hinge line from the aileron all the way to the root rib. If your front wing screw should break, back out, or strip out, there is a good chance your wing will rotate or blow off, as the cracked piece is in front of the anti rotation dowel. I caught this crack a few weeks ago and it appeared to be harmless, but with now 11 flights, it's completely broke and I'm lucky the wings stayed together. I will post pics as soon as I can to better explain the problem. It is a design flaw and the same thing happened to my 42% Dietrich 260 a while back. Once again, this is just a heads up for those of you who are flying yours or getting ready to. I have not contacted Kevin but will do so Monday. I am not bashing this plane by any means. In fact, I love it! It's performance is great and I've almost got it dialed in perfectly for IMAC and 3D. I just don't want to see someone's wing blow off or turn sideways and they lose their aircraft and gear. I will also post pics of the fix once I start on it.

Ok a couple pics. This is not just a crack in the covering. The whole piece is only hanging on by the root rib.This section holds the anti rotation dowel and one of the wing bolts.
