Mike Patey designs and engineers some bad azz planes.

[@johnabbott257]

What an amazing looking hobby

[@45035]

Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. RC`er for life.

[@mr.morgan5643]

[@carlsurma8549]

Just got mine on my birthday! Best BIRTHDAY Present ever

[@anthonykelley7790]

I have never had any interest in RC planes or flying until I saw this model!! I love it! It looks so easy to fly!

[@RCGirl]

It's definitely in a class of its own!

[@donharsh5469]

That's a awesome airplane RC Girl I like it and enjoying and watching now awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎❤️ video and awesome video and awesome video RC Girl

[@mrhilma]

Super-sales coming I think. Now the World needs the same features in a really attractive aircraft. Excellent presentation.

[@loum7008]

It's tough not to get really excited for an RC when the box is as big as you are!!! Thanks for getting in it 👍

[@NCMOUNTAINSbackyardRC]

O yeah nice COOL cool cool bird ! Big like 👍

[@Matteomeier]

Great video! Can’t wait to get mine! 👍😊

[@Zephairein]

that plane sounds soooo good

[@jasongregory3950]

Nice Draco 💙

[@derekpirie9188]

There was only one DRACO, now there are plenty of ''little ones'' taking to the skies.

[@niewierna22]

There was one Draco, because it was a Polish PZL-2000 Wilga plane, bought for the USA and modified (with a powerful engine). But there are still a lot of original serial airplanes.

[@md3631363]

Awesome plane!! :)

[@49dashwoodproductions26]

lol. How cute. You remind me of me when I got my first real RC car back in 1989. Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin. Opening the box and assembly... What a day! Enjoyed the vid.

[@TheJulianga]

3:12 Link getting a new item sound! You are officially the coolest 😆

[@RCGirl]

haha!! good catch ;)

[@geordienufc3132]

I'm glad you told us up front that it was a freebie from Horizon, that makes a big difference to how much credence we put into a review. Usually people who actually paid for their model tend to have less biased reviews because they are not trying to keep the manufacturer happy in order to get more freebies.

[@DavidGilesColorado]

Also, she is honest that's what I got out of this.

[@prestonsrc]

Wow! How cool. Seeing the wing in your arms put the size into perspective. Super cool

[@terryblackman6217]

What a wonderful model. And it certainly has a lot of grunt. 👍

[@aaybes]

LOL you look like a little kid on Christmas morning when you open that box!! Also, on the first few shots, I did not realize how HUGE that thing is until you show the box - nice suspense there! I’m not into planes (yet) but this was cool to watch! 😃

[@derekpirie9188]

The best so far from Horizon Hobby. Draco is it. Haley gets her PPL and flies ''Wing man '' for Mike Patey.

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Mines in the mail😁

[@josseyt]

Simply beautiful ! I am so sorry about the fatal crash. Don't fill bad about it. We all experience this from time to time. Big 👍

[@rcromariccrawling9332]

Great model 👍

[@daemoninkubus]

Awesomeness, great video. That plane is huge

[@joesmith4222]

Your happiest video yet. Good for you.🤗

[@magia5035]

First thing first save the star fish. Also what a fun plane. So fun to fly ans build.

[@allanritchie1539]

Hi RC GIRL, Just binge watched all your videos, great planes and rc cars/trucks. I have a TRX4 + RUSTLER 2WD. Love your style and your inovations. Keep it up. ☆☆☆☆☆

[@88davidw]

Great video! This looks so awesome!

[@iansummers6945]

Nice video unboxing review, really enjoyed the close ups on assembly & Draco features. Good one ☝️

[@EJ-74]

Niiiice Love the Draco 🔥👍✌️

[@alanchai711]

Awesome ! Weekends will never be the same....

[@scalebuildersguild]

Fantastic! What a beautiful plane. Great video Hayley. Oops, spoke too soon...

[@boss2234]

One of the better Draco videos I have seen you covered all the points and views.good job😁😁

[@afav1976]

You are awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@rcaesthetics8805]

great Choice! 🤙

[@f1matt]

Really does look like a full size airplane in flight. Wow.

[@jasongregory3950]

Looks like fun.

[@allanritchie1539]

Would love to fly that one, some day will buy one to play with.☆☆☆☆☆

[@WoodsUnknown]

That is awesome, yup I need one.

[@-cmafia-7745]

Well done Haley. Looking forward to Part ll 👍

[@Kadnap-Totup]

RealFlight simulator software really came in handy.

[@Kadnap-Totup]

Parts must be expensive. Better fly and land that smoothly.

[@RobisonRacing68]

Damn Haley... I don't need another plane but now I WANT another plane.... Sigh. I need a bigger apartment. :) - Lauren (Oh wow! I wrote that before I got to the ending! Hope it's okay???)

[@RC4all]

Awesome 👍🏼

[@DoubleClutchProductions]

Looks great, stopped flying planes years ago because of the lack of space and all the flying spots were for gliders only. Only a matter of time before the FAA makes you register these like drones.

[@brianscutt6298]

5 bucks for a registered number for all my rc aircraft and if you fly at a ama sanctioned field you don't have to worrie about getting a transponder . But the transponder stuff is not going to happen for a couple year and they are a size of a quarter and can be transferred plane to plane. I guess there going to be 50 - 80 dollars.

[@habenero_fpv]

Over 250g. Unless flown at an ama field it needs to have a FAA registration number on the craft.

[@redblue40rc33]

That's why I do rc cars n trucks...no FAA farts

[@Nothinglefttosay]

Get one

[@toddbertram6556]

That is awesome

[@1stMarine]

Nice job❤️

[@anthonycapanas2932]

Hi RC Girl, I was wondering when you were able to get your hands on one of these Draco 2.0. I’m glad you did. You deserve to have this ultimate sport bush plane. Have fun flying this machine. Maybe one day I will get one. Right now I didn’t realize that it had a $500+ price tag. But it is all worth it to see how they have brought the scale details down to the T. The ultimate boxing of the kit attests to how critical it is to the quality of this aircraft to be protected upon shipping. You’re an inspiration to the RC world.

[@ScaleMeDown]

Fab aeroplane

[@fpvpilot7713]

Excellent video as always. I want one, just need a place to fly it.

[@chainbenwa2713]

Someday you need to fly a twin engine with counter rotating props. You probably won’t go back! They’re sweeeet! + FPV 👍

[@713Ace529]

That makes me want one! Specially cause I’m all about the realism lights and drivers. Nice!. 🇨🇱👍

[@Boeing767DriverAA]

Just picked up my Draco today. After weeks of hunting down RC shops around the country everyone was out of stock. It looked like I'd have to wait weeks or even months. Not until I looked around my own area Atlanta GA and found it available actually several in stock. Can't wait to get this one in the air.

[@Nordmann61]

Perfect bush pilot plane, with huge engine power, it can almost take off from standstill :-), I can do take off and landing with the Draco on my deck! Landing it against the wind, and with lot of practice, it may be possible to land it on a dime. Looks amazingly good, and I love the scale look, even a backlit instrument panel in the cockpit! The must-have factor is high with this one, it is irresistible for a scale model enthusiast. I hope it was not damaged in the landing. Thank you for a nice video as always, looking forward to your next video already. Cheers.

[@notoo7]

That crazy you fit in the box 😜 good job😎👍

[@keithjung3544]

Friggin Awesome!💚🙏👍🥰

[@airhammer6203]

Great video RC Girl!! Assembling a plane is always fun. I can't wait to see YOU fly Draco. Something must be wrong at Horizon. I didn't know that they were shipping beautiful women in boxes.......to be continued. :) AirHammer out!! :)

[@Chris_Love]

I love flying bush planes and Draco is my dream plane right now! Maybe later this summer, we´ll see :)

[@ArcticRc]

This video is better than Horizons video. You really nailed it. Thank you. But just got the Hangar 9 Pitts so the draco have to wait until christmas.. 🤣

[@JudeSturman]

With that length fuselage I thought it would be squirrely...need a night flight video next!

[@mikenowland2739]

Good job Hayley 👍 Come on Mike lift your game and get back to her 😀

[@dinozuzic1765]

Amazing airplane, amazing flying. Great video.

[@jetman899]

Good job on the explanation, Haley. I'd like to see more of your unboxing videos.

[@gazzabyerun9556]

👍Nice review, one of many i would love to own from Horizon. 💸

[@divifo]

Nice unboxing and great flight 👏👏😊

[@michaelbare5380]

Nice job with your review. Enjoyed the assembly especially.

[@bigskyhobbycorner603]

Lots of precise detail. Horizon definitely went above and beyond on this one. The scans they did definitely payed off. The only thing I can pick on is the King shocks. I haven't been real impressed with them. Even with thread locker, they still come apart.

[@aguyinnc2865]

Love this plane!

[@DadsRCHangar]

Really cool to see you have one 👍🏻

[@larrymarks5836]

Nice advertisement for the Draco

[@BDTennessee]

Awesome video! Your skills are really stepping up flying that!

[@dandanthedandan54321]

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome!

[@birdmanbl]

You're awesome RC girl so rad I want one..nice clip

[@RC4X4]

Great video and flying. I can't wait to get one. It looks so cool and will be fun. I like all the details you showed and assembly.

[@scottoblander9419]

I knew it. I knew you had a Draco!

[@rogerpenndorf5221]

SWEET Gotta Have One

[@smokeymcbongwater3561]

Wow. 6s,

[@johnsausage]

3:04 Oh look.. a cat! :D

[@Saskue78]

Cool model an looks like it flys well to.😀

[@ggwbrc]

Nice RC plane😍

[@aerospacematt9147]

Yeah, its a little out of my price range... golly that’s a sweet looking plane! Great job!

[@rcimposter9686]

Nice video rc girl

[@DirtyRC101]

Looks fantastic, but I'll stay on the ground 🌞👍

[@CoachD386]

Niiice maiden 💪🏾💯 DRACO is an awesome bird!

[@rcaviatormodeler]

Nice PLZ Wilga - flying awesome

[@rcaviatormodeler]

PZL sorry

[@alexabadi7458]

Reverse mode on a RC plane ? First time I see that in 20 years flying, I think that Draco will be on my Xmas list ! ;o)

[@RCGirl]

It's now on any avian ESCs. Turbo timber evolution is another great model, lower price point. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4fIm4KuZ6yHjpI

[@carlsurma8549]

Say if you haven't found where the little handles go, they are on the front edge of the wings next to door window. They are Mikes handles to climb in and out of Draco

[@radmantommy8015]

Hi RCgirl that is one hell of a lovely looking model plain I hope it didn't crash to badly definitely looking forward to a hole more vlogs 👍👍🤗🤗

[@BCJ725]

awesome vid, Hayley! BTW where is your field?

[@TOPRCBrasil]

Amazing!

[@madmaxximus1234]

Scrappy next? Keep them videos coming 👍🤙

[@TinkerPrepper]

I can see why it is listed for the price. The details are amazing 👏

[@gryfandjane]

Horizon really hit it out of the park with Draco! What an amazing replica. The original Draco’s accident led me to Mike Patey’s KZbin channel... been a big fan ever since. Hopefully someday we’ll get a model of Scrappy. ;-)

[@whoknows8678]

I just want to see the real Scrappy fly. We just had an airshow last weekend at Patey's home field here in Spanish Fork. He pulled all his toys out, but he didn't fly a single thing. Not even the R/C Draco he had sitting right there. So weak of him. I can't even call his "performance" weak...because there wasn't one...

[@548HPCobra]

Great Review RC Girl! I may work for Horizons competitor but that's a sweet looking/flying STOL plane! Can't wait to see more action!

[@whoknows8678]

I live in Spanish Fork, UT where Patey is based and I was just at his hangar last weekend for the local airshow. The real Draco will live on, too, as the Draco X and he's using a lot of the Draco parts in it. The "X" is for it being better than Draco in ten different ways.
