E-Flite Draco CRASH and DESTROYED

[@smalltownrifleman]

Dude! When you sign up to be camera man there’s an implied responsibility that goes with the job. You can be forgiven for a little out of focus or not centered in frame or a little jittery but you are to absolutely stand your ground, risk life and limb, do whatever it takes to get the MONEY shot.

One thing that I have learned about the EFlite Draco is that it HATES being upside down. It recovers very poorly from aerobatic maneuvers, as that is not what it was designed to do. It is a high-performance STOL airplane and that’s it. Also, low level aerobatics are incredibly dangerous in non-aerobatic machines. Shame that this had to happen. I’m just happy I’ve finally got mine!

[@Doggeslife]

I nearly did that myself. The error was not letting off the throttle at the top of the loop and literally powering it into the ground.Gravity works against you on the way down and tries to make the height of the loop larger, so coast down the back side. Sorry for the loss. Crashes were much more painfully when we had to build them from balsa kits, so it could have been worse. Happy flying!

[@Negativity808]

[@jamesbruce1183]

Watched the last part at 1/4 speed and he held up elevator all the way through the (underground) loop. He had enough power to continue straight up or he could have made it a a split-S and flown upright directly away from the camera. It is a god idea to never land coming directly at yourself. It is hard to judge distance and speed. The left turning at takeoff can be fixed with right rudder. It will help offset torque and p-factor that are dominant at low speeds and high power settings. Then you can fly a crisp pattern easily.

[@JohnStenborg]

...the whole flight was living on the edge of skill just but just, inside the pilots level...it was sadly bound to happen. eventually...as it is for all of us...

I'm sorry to here about your head injury. I was skiing in Massachusetts years ago and fell on a icy patch and sled into a tree stump which ruptured my kidney and I spent ten days in the hospital. I lost 2-3 pints of blood internally and in my Blatter ,. My blood count was monitored every other hour to see if my kidney was healing or if it had to be removed . Luckly it did heal back together since I had to stay in bed the whole time without moving. I still kept on skiing but was very cautious from then on in Colorado,Utah,california,and Nevada. Oh by the way I spent a year in Vietnam getting mortar fire ,snipper fire and getting stitched up from stupid things since I drove an 17 ton army wrecker all over the lower part of Vietnam. Life goes on and everybody has a story, you were meant to be which somebody told me one time. Good luck Buddy

[@sniper121ejplaystation3]

If I ever get to own the Horizonhobby eFlite Draco RC, I’m going to fly it in a similar fashion to Mike Patey…more scale, without the performance of some 3D or air show flight demo pilot maneuvers. Because whenever any RC pilot starts flying this plane in a fashion otherwise this will be the result, not enough mistakes high to attempt recovery, and keeping the plane out in front of the zero line. I know the wind was a factor. I’m glad nobody got hurt, just the $600 slam to the wallet.

My Turbo Timber flys like the Draco. I added an Aerostar 60 RVS ESC for reverse thrust after touchdown. Works great when you can find the right switch! I accidentally hit the reverse switch in the air and when I went full power the prop noise was scary. I immediately cut the power and landed to inspect for damage. No damage but lesson learned is choose a switch that is hard to get to like the A switch. I’m sure we will hear about reverse thrust loss of control incidents.

Actually, the reason he crashed was because the clubs safety guy was right behind him..he had to come in right at us due to the wind...he didn't realize he had that much energy when he bounced...normally he would have just added power, fly right over us and go around. He tried not to fly over the pits to keep them happy and lost his plane. He is fixing it as we speak though.
