John;
I presently have the 50cc version and it is one sweet flying plane and the quality is outstanding. I put a deposit on the 75cc several weeks ago and was wondering when I might expect the plane to come in. Thanks
Gaines
p.s. What is the length of the 75cc.

RE: The ALL NEW Dietrich 75cc Extra 260
I'm interested' Will there be CF wing and stab tube options or is there a place to get them? Same question for the landing gear.

RE: The ALL NEW Dietrich 75cc Extra 260
At this point and time we do not have any Carbon fiber parts for this Extra.......And I really dont think you need any CF stuff with this as light as it is already...but we will check into it and see what we can offer.

It could be the plane my 3W 56 has been waiting for. No worries graph Tech will have them. But Febuary ?... I've never managed to wait 4 months for anything.

RE: The ALL NEW Dietrich 75cc Extra 260
looks like a very nice bird. I am impressed with the weight with the DA85. It should fly like a foamy.
On the point of carbon fiber parts such as the wing tube and so forth I think it might be a good idea because some guys (like me) can bend the aluminum tubes and carbon almost becomes a necessity as opposed to a luxury add-on. Regardless I love the colors and the high level of pre-completed work such as hinging. Looking forward ot being able to fly one one day

yes I agree with you fully and carbon fiber is a good thing in the 3D world....but even a full scale wing flexes a lil...
yes she does fly very much like a foamy in the power to weight dept.

RE: The ALL NEW Dietrich 75cc Extra 260
Any chance of leaving the pre-installed at the factory hinges off
and letting the buyer install them ?
The reason I ask is the ones that came pre-installed on the 50cc model is a poor
job & deflection issues are prevalent...just a thought.

ah, looks like a "first run" error has been discovered. Hope they fix it!
