It's probably a real byatch getting a plane through the prototype stage to having 200 of them in a warehouse ready to sell in the US. I haven't worked with Dietrich, but I know that both Extreme Flight and Aeroworks are companies that aren't going to rush a plane onto the market until they feel that they are perfect. That means that after waiting for a new sample with some changes done for a couple of months (keeping their fingers crossed that this one will be the one) - if they fly it and it's still not quite right they'll put the project back a couple more months in order to make some changes, get a new sample, fly it, and then finally order a production run if that one is right. I'd much rather wait for companies like that to get their planes ready then to buy from a company that will just order up 200 of the 2nd sample even if it's not perfect just to get it out faster.

Besides, not knowing exactly when they'll be released keeps me from flying my existing 50cc planes too low!
