Holy crap...just looked at the Dietrich Slick. What a "MASSIVE" bird. Please do a build thread on this monster. For starters, where can it be acquired?

100cc
Sorry, no longer sold. I got lucky, put an ad out for a "wreck" that would need work to get it flying. I was answered by a gent that wanted this plane out of his basement. Came with spare cowl, x 3 canopy's, spare wheel pants, landing gear and more. Not much wrong with it, could fly it as is but… I want to make it my own!

100cc
So I take it this will be a good IMAC bird?
I'm just a beginner, flying basic. Was flying with 30cc size planes. I told people (and my wife) I was going to skip 50cc size planes and go to 100cc size. Now I have this, 150cc or larger!! But I hope this plane see's me improve a few levels!!

Good IMAC bird? Yes, very much so. If you've not flown 50cc or even 100cc for that matter, it really is not going to matter much. As I found out...(because I was so INTIMIDATED) by the size, larger planes just simply fly better. Once I flew my larger planes it was like, "really"?!!! You're hooked now buddie. Once you fly this big bird, you're going to go nuts and want to start learning "EVERY" maneuver in the book. And improve you shall. Quite rapidly I am sure.

Ah heck....she don't look so tired. You should have seen my 260 when I got her. Holy crap.... tired? Umm....how about tossed around from man to man.... used and abused like an old 2 bit.... (you know)...then left alone to wither and die a painfully lonely death. The resurrection was nothing short of transforming an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan.-Rick- said
She looks a lot more "tired" in real life! But begging to be fixed up and be recovered to fly again!
I am very excited to see your genius work to make yours all bright and glowing once more.

Good looking airframe Rick, be a great IMAC bird. You must have an insatiable want for perfect like the rest of us cuckoo's cuz' she looks fine to me. I hear you on the " making it your own " though, and I'd do the same thing. Thanks for sharing.
and again, I dont mind sharing space with you here, but, you'll get alot of confidence and satisfaction and support if you choose to do do a thread on it also. This isnt like other places with a bunch of nit picky trolls and self proclaimed "experts" like other sites. Generally speaking, were a good but strange bunch of friends here. Excited to see what you're going to accomplish. Enjoy it and welcome to 40% insanity ! It's a beautiful addiction .
