Updates?!

Jim101

Hello,
I am very interested in this new plane from your company.

I do have a few questions however:

1) Is it pipe ready, I know I can use a can but you have said nothing about a full length pipe.

2) Also, what is the airplane covered in?

3) Is the fuse painted or covered?

Thanks in advance for the answers, I am very excited about this new plane!

Are there holes for two servos per wing? Does it come with pushrods, tank, etc like in the prototype pix on your web site?

Lins

Have you guys got your engine back yet?

Hello, There is room in the fuse for a pipe but you will have to make your own mounting system for your pipe needs.

The plane/fuse is covered with all fiber glass parts pre painted to match.

Any more updates?

Rod Bender

Ya, what happened to the video? Or is this the market strategy?

I have placed my deposit on one of these and I am very interested in any updates.
Is there a forum or a website/page we can go to for official updates?
I would love to see some pictures of the engine installation..hint...hint.

I do know that the Dietrich website has indicated that the planes are not due in until the latter part of March(I think it's March)

I am totally excited, the wait is killing me.

I think we're getting screwed.

Rod Bender

I got an email stating that the shipment has been pushed out till late March, early April....Maybe April 1st? lol

Lins

Well I never got an email, and I put my money down in September.

Rod Bender

I had to inquire, and they responded. Send them an email, you should get a response. Whats worrying me is that no posts have been updated here online with this forum. 1st the DA engine had issues, that went on for a month or so, but there still has not been a video uploaded anywhere. That, and now yet another delay from the factory makes for a suspicion of doubt.... []

You guys , i can feel your frustration , but honestly , look at all the new products that have hit the shelves over the past few years...only a few ever really ever made a "deadline". I mean come on.......Dietrich is a well known reputable company.

If you think this is bad....you should look into the heli's when they get announced. Ever hear of an "AVANT Aurora"?......people have have deposits down on that stupid helicopter for about 2 years now , and it's still not released! Talk about a bunch of frustrated people.....sheeesh!

As far as Dietrich goes........you should be thankful that they are taking their time and making sure the airplanes are in tip-top condition before they ship them out. If they rush it , to only please a few , they are going to disapoint everyone else.

Lins........what do you mean , "you think your getting screwed"? I'm sure if you we're to call them , you could cancel your order and buy something else. You'll probably lose the deposit.............but then again , why would you cancel the order?

Give them some extra time guys , i'm sure you will appreciate it , from the very first time you lay your eyes on the quality of one of these birds.

almost "ALL" things in this hobby that are worth a crap , get delayed.....that's the way this hobby is. And as far as lack of response in this thread and so forth......Dietrich is a small outfit that makes awesome planes. They are probably ( no....most surely) putting the final touches on these planes and getting them ready for us.

I think you guys will be happy by giving them the time they need to complete this airplane.

True Words,

But, from a customer standpoint, to have the communication stop with wondering minds is an uneasy thing. This particular 75cc product coming from Dietrich seems to be "thee" perfect fit for the new DA85. It would be nice to read an update here, online, where the drums were 1st beat to attract customers as to whats going on, and why.

To address Mr G: This IS the website and forum for information on Dietrichs new product.

I want and am ready for one just as much as the next person, communication is KEY in these situations though...

Guys,
Kevin and crew are doing all they can to get the planes here as soon as they can, the planes have been pushed back 30 days, I am waiting for mine also, and my 39% Extra which was pushed back too. The problem when you have a product that everyone that gets there hands on them loves to death because they fly so well, they sold out faster than they could imagine. They got the 50cc planes in this week, and are expecting more containers any time, but remember patience is a virtue and soon you will have a diamond in the sky.
I don't know if you have ever been overwhelmed, but they have a ton of orders going out and have not been at there normal desks, Dietrich makes awesome airframes and many people have ordered them. They are going overtime right now getting what has come in out, and they will be just as diligent when your orders come in. I am waiting just like you, oh and by the way the yellow and purple 50cc planes are in and shipping.

Lins

I don't care about getting delayed, just a response is nice. JEFFR, I never said anything about cancelling the order...? My last email I sent them was never replied to, and this seemed to be the place to get a hold of them, but it seems to be dead here.

Don't worry, you will have your plane sooner than you would if tou were waiting for some other companies. I shure hope you don't fly Futaba and have had paid for your 2.4gh module that was supposed to be in in September and still is not in.

Lins

No point, I have no plane, but thanks.

Lins

I don't know why you guys are getting upset, is it personal for some reason? All we're looking for is an update. They said their engine would be out for a couple weeks, which was way more than a couple weeks ago. There is still no videos... Not that I really care, since it's too cold to fly here anyway, but an update here and there would be nice.

I hear ya Lins......and i'm not taking it personal. I'm like you , and can't wait for the 260 to get here. And like you...i can't fly crap here either because of this damn weather. All we can do is wait , but it will be worth it trust me. I have seen only one Dietrich plane fly , and it was the 50cc version of this plane , and it was in the hands of a guy who was considered an "OK" pilot i guess. It looked like it was one awesome flying airplane. That's when i had thought about getting one of those , then the 75cc was announced......i was in like flynn on that one. I'll tell you what , the craftsmanship on it was considered a 9.9 out of a possible 10 for me too. PERFECT covering , and the construction was TOP NOTCH! I wish i had it right now.....but oh well , i'll wait.

Rod Bender

Good words to hear on the construction quality. It's winter, most everyone is idle in flying, so it just makes the wait SEEM that much more. As Gman and others have stated, it WILL be worth the wait!!!!

Lins

Alright, soooo, anybody hear anything recently?

No, but the pull down for it under "Aircraft" is gone on their website. I am beginning to wonder myself![]

Lins

I don't remember it being there before....?
