Re: I got to fly the Dietrich Slick 540 Proto!!!!
no bail out for working people, looks at the auto makers that actually produce vital goods and employee blue collars!!
On the Dietrich side: I ordered a 75cc Extra(blk tail), gong broke saving money!! If only DA would have a Christmas sale I would be set. |

Re: I got to fly the Dietrich Slick 540 Proto!!!!
Sorry I got quiet guys, I have just been up to my ears in getting things together for the AMA show in January and finishing up the prototypes that we will be showing which will be going in production for 2009. With Thanksgiving this week and the arrival of the Slicks looming I have been trying to get my workbench ready to do some custom builds for people who have bought planes and live close. So many things to do for you guys and not enough time in the day to get on here during the work week, like I used to be able to do. I will make time for you on here and the other forums if I have to do it at midnight before I go to bed each night, sorry for my tardiness.
Now that that is over, WHAT NOW!!!!!!!!!! LOL |

Re: I got to fly the Dietrich Slick 540 Proto!!!!
Oh nothing, we were just asking for free st! lol . Never hurts to try. That's why I said you got quiet. lol. If it's any consolation, I've tried not to bug you, I've been bugging Kevin! Me and the other two guys here in town have been taking turns tag teaming him with the phone. Just have new plane anxiety, that's all. You can tell everyone that their new toy will be there on a specific date yet you know we're going to bug the snot out of you WAY before then in hopes that by some mirracle a hurricane formed and blew the cargo ship into port a week early. I can't help it. I'm looking forward to something NEW for a change so I don't have to repair other people's screw ups just to get one in the air. This one more so because it's so new, there's only a couple out there at the moment. It'll be something that you don't see ten of at any given fly-in or contest, for the moment at least. So how about those "Christmas" stickers??? lol I'll even assemble my own plane and stick them on myself to lessen the load on your back.

Re: I got to fly the Dietrich Slick 540 Proto!!!!
Im going to answer for Bill, were already giving you a killer deal on a great plane Merry Christmas Lol, I cant wait for it either but in my case the longer it takes to get here the better off I will be as I am having to scrape to get the money together due to work slowing down unexpectedly.

Re: I got to fly the Dietrich Slick 540 Proto!!!!
Yes guys some are sweating this hard, I am not going to mention any names but there are more than a hand full, actually more than two hands full hoping the wends are blowing east with Thanksgiving this week and Christmas just around the corner, and they were already squeaking. I know a lot of guys that had to sell a plane or a motor or the wife would have killed them, not knowing he did not sell the motor and it is in the "attic over the workshop" if she reads the posts, LOL. It even has gotten tight here, I have had to put off a servo order until after the Slicks ship, which puts off my build article for a magazine that has asked me to do it. It seems I have gotten behind to because of the economy also, all of the Circus Trash that hang have been busy trying to get extra work where they can have a good Christmas for there wife and kids ( Circus Trash = the guys that hang out together, fly together, and take over my shop from tie to time) and to surprisingly get a few things together for the 3 that have no work at this time due to the economy. (us circus folk have to look out for each other you know) At least they did not loose there houses to any of the fires here, but we would have found them a place if that had happened.
It is getting close to time for us all to be jolly, so organize your tool boxes, get your work table ready, make sure you have enough Tigon (just picked up a fresh roll of Aerotrend myself), heavy duty servo lead wire (I prefer Air Wild's), organize your zip tie collection and wait patiently. the planes are going to be here soon, very soon, and for those that have been on the fence, we will give you the $1595 price until the container hits the port, but you will not receive yours until the second on gets here in Feb.. I just got the update from Kevin, the container is going to be early December, around the 6th. With all the bigger companies getting there Christmas and Hanukkah stuff here our container is on the later boat. I guess since they ship more and give the port more monies we get put on the back burner, sometimes it sucks to be the little guy. But it is hard to compete with the Targets, Sears and Walmarts, sorry for the little delay, but this could be good for some of the guys that are sweating this, a extra week to work on explaining the cost to the wife, LOL. |

Re: I got to fly the Dietrich Slick 540 Proto!!!!
Sounds good to me. At least the mortgage company won't be pissed now. Two weeks makes a big difference around here! Thanks for the update Bill. Now we have to find some other reason to bug you.
Oh yeah, since the shipment is going to be late, I think every pre-order should get a free graphics package for the wait.lol |
