Here she is, the ALL NEW Dietrich Performance 75cc Extra 260!!!
More specs will be updated later but I will say she has a wingspan of 96 inches and weighs 19 and 3/4 lbs RTF with a DA 85! The new 75cc 260 also sports ALL NEW NEVER USED BEFORE Composite wood and foam fuse a new technology that is going to set a new standard in ARFs. Let me say she flys AMAZING!!!!! check out Dietrichaircraft.com for more updates to come!!!! John |

well just an update on the testing: We've got alot of flights on the plane now and the plane just flys out right awesome!!!! I am hoping to get some video this week hopefully depending on the weather.....Update on the DA 85: this enigne just flat out gets with it! And with every flight so far it gets better and stronger each time. I cant wait to see what it does when she gets off the lawnboy and a Mejzlik prop!....more updates to fallow

That's a lotta plane for a little $ ! ! ! ! !
Must be a very load wing loading too. How many carbon fiber components are in the plane with the kit? What is the set up to obtain that low of a weight?

Check out our new composite features. First in the ARF industry. Composite foam fuse side is Light and Extremely strong!!!!! Carbon fiber reinforced wing spars provide additional strength to wing spars. Each wing panel weighs a mere 1 1/2 pounds with decals, servo and linkage. The fuse construction is easily repaired in case of a mishap. It is fuel proof and safe to use C/A.We are very excited to announce this state of the art construction and we look forward to bringing you many more innovative ideas.

I put my deposit down just the other day!!
Can't decide to use my existing 3w-75 engine or buy a new DA-85. If I buy a new DA I will have suffer wife abuse for a few months...It may be worth it though. MR G |
