Good Things Come in Small Packages - E-flite Micro Draco 800mm

The E-flite Micro Draco is big Draco, but... not so big? It flies very similar to the bigger plane, yet has an absurd thrust to weight ratio. It's not unstallable, but it may as well be on 4s batteries.

[@brianturner4215]

Absolutely love the lights on the plane! Beautiful plane HH and thank you Jon for pushing the Draco to the extreme.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Mine is on its way! I'm really stoked! Also, I'm convinced that the Weather apps that forecast low wind speeds arent inaccurate or "lying". Its just that we RC pilots are "wind gods". Wind unexpectedly shows up to worship us, whever we maiden a new plane, or try to film a flight, or have to fly in front of a crowd etc. It's not the apps fault. And its not the wind's fault, either. The wind just really wants to worship us in the only way it knows how... lots of blowing and turbulence 😂 Great video, per usual, Jon. Thanks 👍

[@TwoBrosRC]

It certainly seems that the wind wants to mess with model aviating. Hope you enjoy your new Draco, Al!

[@clean1566]

It's actually almost 100 grams more than the T/T Evolution, with 4s. Didn't stop me from ordering though. It's still under 250g, barely. Coming tomorrow! Actually, looking forward to extra weight for flying here in the PNW! Nice flying! Enjoyed the video.

[@OrderoftheWarlocks]

I'm beyond stoked for this plane. Gunna be a fun little bird I can take with me for drives. See a nice little park, pull over and fly.

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's adorable, man - and the small size makes it perfect to bring out to a park.

[@geofkane2365]

A very helpful, well informed review of this attractive plane.

[@nirlachman007]

I like the fact that you took it to the edge! Really capable, nice! Great review ❤

[@airhammer6203]

Good stuff Jon, great review of the little fire breather. AirHammer out!!

[@Mike-pb5bj]

I'M WAITING FOR ! I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS LITTLE BASTER ! 🤣 HE LOOK SO NICE ! NICE REVIEW MY FRIEND ! 💙✈️👍 LIFE IS GOOD !

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Well done Jon! Great looking little model! Man I can't wait to fly ours. I wish Fed Ex had gotten it to us when they should have!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks Adam! No idea how ours got here so fast. We had exactly one day to film, edit, and post. Quite the hectic schedule, but hopefully the final product came out well.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

​@@TwoBrosRC Turned out great!! 👍 I'll be looking forward to yours next, Adam 👍

[@chrisB_OG]

YAAAAAS! So excited for this

[@chrisB_OG]

Also, thumbs up on the hybrid voice format!

[@Krash_fpv]

Haven't bought a horizon plane in over a year now...but gonna get this one and paint it....I've always wanted a mini wilga and a micro on 4s...yes pls..good little bush flyer too I'm sure...I love my umx timber x such a fun little plane to toss in car amd take anywhere

[@darrellsemaken446]

Pretty excited for this! I’ve been waiting, anxiously to watch you guys drop your video on the micro Draco! I have the 2.0 meter Draco and when I heard they released the micro Draco for preorder, it was a no brainer!

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's a great little plane for sure. Micro/UMX isn't what we prefer to fly, but you can't beat something that looks this good and handles as well as it does.

[@alanshearing7515]

Great review Two Bros . I think they has found a market gap and it will sell well . Great looking ,flys well and looks robust. I do like this format better , sticks on impressions and reactions are cool . It becomes infectious to hear you both having fun on the sticks . Thanks for your efforts 🙏🏼.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks Alan! It's also easier to edit the video too when Jon doesn't have to make non-stop voiceover work to drive the narrative. We'll still feature voiceover heavily, but will definitely look into featuring more live talking again.

[@markduckworth5579]

Glad to hear that the weight is only slightly more than the UMX Turbo Timber. With all that extra detail, I thought for sure it would be a lot heavier.

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's an educated guess, but pretty sure it's not much different.

[@BillKisel]

I like the format and appreciate that part of the review was done flying 3S. I've watched 3-4 reviews before yours and all were with 4S. [Many of us are stocked up on 3S 300 mah batteries for our UMX planes.]

[@piledriverspeedfix]

MICRO DRACOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[@erikshute7153]

Great Video Jon! This plane will be on my wish list for sure!

[@williamhoodtn]

Perhaps not "sanctioned" but those 4S 300mAh batteries should also work in the other fairly new UMX planes of late. Great Flying!

[@ForzaRoja]

I was so focused on that big plane wreck i hardly noticed you flying thr small Draco off the wing! Awesome video!

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's not a wreck - it could be restored to fly again. Hopefully someone will do it at some point.

[@ForzaRoja]

Apologies the larger plane which is a bit worse for wear 👍

[@RubyS.1]

Ill buy one. Didnt expect to like the umx air tractor as much as i do.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Hope you enjoy it! The 4 cell batteries really wake it up if you want to do higher speed flying or try your hand at hovering.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Yep! The UMX Airtractor is a nice flier! 👍

[@Tomc528]

We used to have a Navion. Cool little Draco.

[@michaelromingerjr6513]

Thanks for another great review! You guys are one of if not my top channel to check for any aircraft i may be interested in! I personally like this format of video! Comes across very professional and full of all the info I need in what i feel is the best use of the time in videos like this. Cant wait for the one i pre-ordered to come in! Hopefully soon! What kind of flight times were you getting with the 4s? I pre-ordered several of those as well. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks, Michael! We were getting 4 to 7 minutes on 4 cells. You could fly it for at least 10 if you were conservative with throttle and not trying to hover it.

[@michaelromingerjr6513]

@TwoBrosRC awesome! Thats not bad! Thanks for the quick reply!

[@ssrattus]

Thanks!

[@TwoBrosRC]

No problem!

[@cheeseheaddiecast4164]

I think you made the best video on this plane yet. I told horizon hobbies that myself.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks so much!

[@Cakey831]

I was surprised to see my card charged for mine yesterday. Mail won’t deliver till Monday tho.

[@onnovannoort7690]

Great video John. I am thinking of buying a umx. What's you're favourite umx for ripping?

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks! Just a small note, it's Jon - without the H. We should probably have that pop-up on screen. ;) For ripping around, Draco is currently the fastest UMX plane we've flown because it runs on a 4 cell setup.

[@grege2383]

Another good review, curious what Tail Heavy has to say about this one (the original UMX Timber revived my love of flying rc planes)

[@TwoBrosRC]

Thanks!

[@vincegoheen2764]

Interested if horizon would make a navion model......family had one momentarily....rare old birds ....as a a&p I work on two

[@TwoBrosRC]

That would definitely be neat.

[@vincegoheen2764]

It would be very cool in civilian sceme or military and I'd buy it

[@zacharynashalook8452]

I think I might be that someone, I went to every major rc channel including this one and Horizon Hobby. A bit presumptuous, but I like to think if nothing else maybe it helped.

We saw that Navajo comment before you edited it. 😛

[@user-hn7om5vm8v]

Can i use a Spektrum 4S 450 mah Battery ? Will it handle it? Greetings from Austria

[@TwoBrosRC]

It probably will if you're OK with the slight amount of additional wing loading.

[@user-hn7om5vm8v]

Thank you very much for your answer and your opinion. I wish you a nice day ! Greetings from Austria

[@Estuardomendez13]

ayo abandonned navion

[@stejer211]

Is it in EPO or EPP? Or still prehistoric styrofoam?

[@TwoBrosRC]

It's EPS.

[@Krash_fpv]

Also we shoykda known this one was coming because all the "influencers" started making draco videos again😂

[@TwoBrosRC]

We made our Draco vid because it had been a year since we first got it. HH doesn't tell us how to run our channel.

[@James-js6dx]

Just make sure to add "RC" infront of "Micro draco", or you might end up on a list.

[@Bro_Anton]

I dont know if you read the entire thing and love your vids So i had my favourite plane wich is the robin dr400 and i flew with it i live in germany and in bayern there is a sailplane airport and there was a robin (i will call the robin dr400 robin) and i flew with it with my fahter im not allowed to start or land but im allowed to steer in the air bc im 11 and my fiest flight was in m mohters belly and i mover 1 year ago and now we still have an sailplane airport and there also was a robin and it was my fav plane i watched trogh your vids and did not see an robin if you have one would be nice to see a video of it if not i dont want you to spend your money on something you might not like❤

[@TwoBrosRC]

We don't know of any Robin DR400s in model aviation, but if we see one we might get it. Cheers.

Thanks❤ ive Seen some before but idk If they are self build

[@williamhammond3998]

Enough with these airplanes meant for us peasants. We want to see a jet. Not an edf, a turbine powered jet. Make it happen this year. You are definitely ready for it.

[@TwoBrosRC]

We'd love to fly one. Are you chipping in for a turbine?

[@Echozero4]

Nope. Love everything you do Jon, but to this... nope.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Any reason why?

[@Echozero4]

@@TwoBrosRCthe cockpit is painted on and it appears the slats are too. The batteries that it takes are not usable in anything else I can think of, and I have the 2 meter one. I am not paying 200$ for this thing. :/

[@TwoBrosRC]

If the cockpit wasn't painted on, it would significantly increase the weight. It's one of the tradeoffs made to get the model scaled down to micro level.

[@Echozero4]

@@TwoBrosRCMy friend, I must respectfully point out that the new umx p 51 has a cockpit.

[@abundantharmony]

Underpowered but pretty.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Lol how'd you come to the conclusion that it's underpowered when it's anything but?

[@abundantharmony]

@@TwoBrosRC idk seems kinda floppy when prop hanging.

Glad you enjoy it!
