Nobody has these yet. It's not on the Dietrich aircraft site anymore, but the EARLIEST delivery for ANY of their planes was estimated to be February. In my experience with pretty much any ARF I have waited for, you can add 3 months to that. Also, my bet is to count on 18+ pounds with that plane is my guess. Did you also notice that you have been enticed with pics of a fully-assembled plane in every picture with a hot chick standing next to it, but there are no pics of the construction?

All I have to say is "Drink Milk!!"

I'd NEVER preorder a plane that I have essentially never really seen, not to mention from a company that has NEVER sold an ARF to ANYONE before! I'd be cautious if I were you all...

Is this not the same guy that was part of AW when they sold their pre-QB series of ARFs? I would guess he has some idea of the ARF construction business if it is the same guy.

The 50cc 260 is still on the Dietrich website. Estimated delivery time is March. They have changed the design of the 260 and it is really awesome. They have removed the stringers and made it a foam sheeted bottom. Plus they have done some additional lightning and a new hatch cover design.
The plane will be in the 16 to 17 pound range. Very light for the physical size of this model. They have some new construction photos of it on their website and I will post some as well. Dietrich Performance Aircraft has 12 years experience in the R/C industry and they know ARF's Extremely well.

I never said the plane wasn't on the site, just the delivery date - I see that now, though...I still say they will run later than that and this 260 will be an 18 pound plane on average, which isn't very light for a 1350 sq.in. wing, IMO.

Lots of business partners split up, why him and Rocco did I dont know nor care to speculate, but I bet he knows a thing or two about the ARF business. The pictures of his planes look in line of every other cheap built chinese arf out there.
