Dietrich Extra 260 30%
I was able to purchase one of these, and I was wondering if you guys had any tips with it. This will be my first gasser. I have a new DL50 for power. I have 5645's for the ailerons and elevators. I have a 5955 for the rudder. Will this be adequate for the servos? I am starting to practice more 3D flying, so I think these should work for now. I have a 2 cell lipo with flightpower 8A regulator for the receiver power. I don't have the ignition battery picked out yet. What would be best for the ignition? Just a 4.8V pack? I have been flying planes for years, so I have knowledge on nitro planes, but not on gassers. I have loved the Dietrich plane ever since I saw it. I am getting it used. How is the included hardware? Thanks for the help.

Re: Dietrich Extra 260 30%
You should know that the 5645's have a centering issue. My 645's do better. And for some unknown reason the 5645 started changing it's center altogether by about 20 degrees. It is only ONE bad servo but it is the only 5645 I own.

Re: Dietrich Extra 260 30%
Couldn't find a manual link for the 50cc, but did find one for the 75. Probably pretty similar...

Re: Dietrich Extra 260 30%
Call Kevin Dietrich @ 720-940-9759. I bought a used 42% from someone and he helped me out as I had no manual. Pretty nice of him to do seeing that I didn't buy it from him. Figured I'd buy a new slick from him since his customer service is so great and his products are priced right. I love my 42%.
