UPDATED 2/15/2024: The E-flite Micro DRACO is a scaled-down version of the incredibly popular DRACO 2.0m that’s more affordable, convenient, and easier to fly! It’s an officially licensed replica of Mike Patey’s ultimate bush plane that can be flown in more places and smaller spaces. See more information and the Miro DRACO in action in this video: • E-flite Micro DRACO 80...
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF A KIND
Inspired by the incredible ingenuity and effort Mike Patey put into building the full-sized aircraft, E-flite® offers the only officially-licensed scale replica of the ultimate bush plane! The amazing DRACO 2.0m is one of the most highly-engineered, detailed and feature-rich RC models ever produced. Beyond its complex design and the accurate shape of its fully-molded, lightweight and durable EPO airframe with a factory-applied finish, it also features an abundance of Extra Scale details including a variety of surface features, steps, antennas, wingtip “stinger” skids, and much more. The clear windshield and windows offer an excellent view of the detailed cockpit with pilot figure and backlit instrument panel. Functional Extra Scale features include licensed, scale-like KING shocks on the main gear and tail wheel, leading-edge slats, slotted flaps and more. There are also a total of 17 LEDs throughout the airframe - with a custom controller that allows you to select solid, strobing and other light combination options from your transmitter. Oversized, tundra-style tires on the custom-made carbon fiber main gear soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance, while the shock-absorbing and steerable tailwheel offers improved ground handling - even when taxiing backward with the optional-use motor reversing (compatible Smart receiver and 7+ channel transmitter required for reversing).
Factory-installed, metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped and internal linkages deliver crisp, precise control. The high-power brushless outrunner motor can drive the scale 4-blade propeller with a wide range of 4000-7000mAh batteries, from a 4S pack for slow and smooth scale flight to 6S power for better-than-scale vertical performance. It's also equipped with a 100-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC, and the BNF® Basic version includes an AR637TA Smart receiver that delivers full-range telemetry including real-time battery voltage, current, motor RPM, ESC temperature, and more to compatible AirWare™ equipped transmitters. And even with its large-scale size and feature-packed design, the DRACO 2.0m can be flight-ready in less time than it takes to charge a battery! No tools are required for field assembly/disassembly because the two-piece wing is secured with quarter-turn thumbscrews. Best of all, if you’ve mastered flying at least one or two previous RC aircraft you can fly the DRACO 2.0m successfully, especially when taking advantage of the BNF® Basic version’s exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. And it all adds up to offer an unmatched STOL (Short Take Off and Landing), scale and beyond flying experience unlike any other!
The Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) Basic version includes a Spektrum receiver equipped with AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies so intermediate to experienced modelers can use their own transmitter, battery and charger.
Are you new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft, such as the HobbyZone® Carbon Cub S 2 1.3m (www.horizonhobby.cc/CarbonCubS2RTF). Based on the Carbon Cub Mike’s wife, Chandra Patey, used to fly, it’s equipped with exclusive and innovative SAFE technology that makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully! The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes nearly everything needed to fly (except for a compatible LiPo battery and charger that are sold separately or together in a money-saving Powerstage bundle) and is a perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot.

@BenBenson We are working to fix it now. Thank you.

[@gazzabyerun9556]

This is what yiu get with you're link, Sorry, your search for "rcdraco" did not return any results. Try searching for "rcdraco" in Discontinued Items Search Tips

[@FormulaZR]

Horizon Hobby: I'm not being rude of funny here - I want Draco so badly. However, I have been an owner of the original Carbon-Z 2.0m Cub and the original 1.5m Timber. Both had a new version come out some time later with many of the "lessons learned"/weak areas corrected. Do you think this Draco is built with those lessons learned applied and is built to be a robust as it should be to equal the real pre-crash Draco?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

@@FormulaZR From our marketing content for DRACO: "One of the most highly-engineered, detailed and feature-rich E-flite® aircraft to date" The "most highly-engineered" portion covers your question well in a variety of ways. From general design, to fit, function, quality and beyond, this is our BEST and MOST of everything model yet! There's not really such a thing as a perfect product, but we used everything we know and have learned to make this as close to perfect as we could get :)

[@markduckworth5579]

Horrizon Hobby, can you tell us if there is a UMX version of the Draco in the works? I would love to have a more budget friendly (and more transportable) version of this plane.

[@blancolirio]

What a GREAT tribute!!!

[@robertmendez7376]

Now you need to get one! This may be the only airplane I can afford right now.

[@bartofilms]

This is the Coolest thing!!! Looks like it even has the shocks and reverse thrust?! Amazing R/C replica. I hope you sell a ton of them. 😎👍.

[@czflyer3947]

The line from the song,"It's about to get crazy ", is correct.. $600 for a foamie is CRAAAAAZY

[@rcbif101]

Material is irrelevant at this point. Trying to make Draco out of balsa and covering would be a mess, and still be a ton of plastic bits glued on.

[@czflyer3947]

@@rcbif101 I have the Carbon z t28 worth every penny. My other most expensive foamy is my flex Mamba 60e night version. I have $650 in that 1 including the receiver, so I guess it's just the style of plane that doesn't appeal to me. Plus the fact that I have no use for "smart tech" that just jacks the price up an extra $100 as well. If this was a carbon z warbird without smart? I might buy it.😁

[@xtraflyr]

I’m hoping for a real wood version. 100cc size would be perfect.

[@gasolinediesel972]

@@xtraflyr 100cc?!?!? That's way too big for this. This is only a 2.0m wingspan.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

@@czflyer3947 Smart tech doesn't add $100 to the price. Also, this model is FAR more detailed and feature-rich than the CZ T-28 that sells for $550! And so far, pre-orders for DRACO are blowing away CZ T-28 sales over the last many years :)

[@richardrosenau9292]

Can't wait for the UMX Draco. Awesome new bird.

[@GBLynden]

That will be great too!

[@gasolinediesel972]

Yeah. I was hoping for something like $450 to $500, not $600. I suppose it's worth it though.

I am so pumped guys! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

Was not expecting a 2m wing. Or reverse. Wow! You guys nailed it. Great job. Now back to work.

[@carycosgrove8898]

Bringing full scale and RC closer together is exactly what we need to get more youth involved in aviation as a career. Fantastic work Horizon and MP!

[@aaroncasey3591]

Putting one on order asap! Mike's been hinting at some super cool stuff coming and he wasn joking.

[@johnsons74thsquadron74]

The, ultimate, fire breathing, monster truck of airplanes. Got her out of the box and I can say, I’m quite impressed with the scale detail you get on this plane.

[@alajeunesse254]

Absolutely crushed this one!

[@K3Flyguy]

This is EXACTLY how I fly, with a self designed version. My stuff works but I'm not as sharp as he is, so mine slightly limps a bit! So I must obtain his design and enjoy what I aspired to emulate! Thank you SIR!

[@MomberyMochi]

It's so awesome knowing that Draco is going to live on! This model is so beautifully amazing!!!!

Thanks!!! I'll be ordering one as soon as it is in stock.
