GW apparently stands for Gold Wing...they appear to be similar to a lot of the chinese arfs that have been appearing lately. Such as EG aircraft(similar construction and included parts). It looks like these have been for sale in Europe for a while.

I will try to get one ordered this week and do a build(assembly) thread/review when I get it if no one else beats me too it.

The cool part is, that if Dietrich is selling them, that means they will be providing customer support, so no worries when purchasing.

Way to go Dietrich! Bringing the 55M to the masses!

EG and GW are the same. I think the GW versions are upated versions. I hope to get one with a Mintor in it. See if I can beat Husker to the maiden

In case you were wondering if the model flew well!!!!

I have one since july, it fly well but not finished to setup as i want. Built is very good, wood is better than normal chinese model but less than aeroworks or air wild, true oracover, almost built, finition is great.
There is some minor change to do :
- Right motor thrust is by default 1.5 degree i set it to 3 degree
- i added 200g in the noose to get CG as said in notice but i'm searching the right CG because in Harrier it (hard) rock from left to right. (without 200g in the noose it fly very hard 3D (and hard to land)) .
- I tried prop VESS 22B (precision but very loud, slow), Hawk 23X8 (very smooth and slow plane), Menz 22X10 (precision and fast). I didn't fix my choice yet.

What else ? i'm waiting the 100cc version
