I'd get ants in my pants w/ 4hrs. of break-in ground time... problem is I sorta made a mistake on my 1rst gasser plane purchase. I got a certain plane from a certain distributor who is taking his sweet time in replacing the broken canopy that came with this brand new plane. [:@] Shoulda spent an extra 100 more for a more reputable bird as far as replacement parts and customer service goes. Distributor guy told me it'd take a while because the manufacturer is in China. I told him that's bullshovik (in a nice diplomatic way) because i've received brand new items from China within 7 business days. He isn't responding to my emails now, I think he's waiting to place my canopy order with an inventory refreshment order to save $$$ with the manufacturer and/or trying to swing a deal with them to save himself $$$. I thought there'd be a lot more support for this plane with it being sold by 4 other well known shops like PAU, EastRC.... but nope.

Anyhoo, not to knock the plane... it has large surface area, quality throughout and is known to be a great flier, but it's a crash-once only/disposable airframe due to it taking a "flipping century" to get replacement parts. I'm thinking Aeroworks, Dietrich, SD/TT TOC or EF next time. Oh well, live & learn.

Good news is I found someone on another forum with a spare canopy and bought it from him, 1 week of waiting VS 4-8 weeks... lucked out a lil bit.

Anymore info on the DL-50 questions would be great.
