Yes, the hardware with the AW kits is number 1. Everything in the kit is usable unlike many kits which you must through it all in the trash. The DLE55 is a good match for it. You will need a shorter 2.5" set of standoffs for it or have the spinner stuck out a bit far. Aeroworks is great to deal with directly if you decide to go direct. I don't know who gives military discounts. Chief, Valleyview, TBM, and Tower all carry AW kits. Some of them like Tower have them drop shipped from Aeroworks. She's a great looking and flying bipe, you'll love it.
