Tug's Micro Draco Maiden Flight

This is my maiden flight of the Micro Draco 800mm. I was not impressed with the 3S 300mah 30C performance. It seemed to lack the power it needed to do anything other than fly very scale. I will order the 4s battery's for it as soon as they are in stock.

Tugg. Mine was great right out the box. I maiden with the 4s 300mah batteries that I had found at my local hobby shop. I placed it all the way forward in the battery bay. 3.7 volts per cell at 5 minutes with mix flying. She will definately benefit with a larger mah battery. I flew it till the sun went down. Love all the lights. She really looked good. This one is a keeper. 👍👍😎

Nice plane, maiden and landing Tug . Looks fantastic in the air and on the ground . Great day for it too . Have fun with it . 👍🏼🙏🏻

[@tughillrc6327]

It was a perfect day except for the 28F which was just a bit nippy on the hands. Thanks for watching and your kind words.

[@PhilipCockram]

@@tughillrc6327 Tomorrow should be a bit warmer . I'm hoping to get out my self to fly a few . 👍🏼

[@tughillrc6327]

Thanks again for your comments Phillip and good luck with your flights. I wished I could we have workers tomorrow so some one needs to be home.@@PhilipCockram

Awesome maiden!! It looks like it's big brother in the air for sure.

[@tughillrc6327]

I plan to get the Big Brother out Tomorrow morning before sun break so the Lights show up on camera. Just depends on the winds at daybreak which should be low. Thanks for watching.

Great maiden Tug! Best looking micro out there...

[@tughillrc6327]

I agree with that statement. She is well built. Thanks for watching and your kind words.

Perfect maiden flight tug, looks nice in the air, good landings also...jeff..uk.

[@tughillrc6327]

Thanks Jeff, and Thanks for watching.

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

A successful maiden flight, Tug! She went up, around and back down without incident. Good flight, Sir! And don't fret about the hat cam angle... I get mine wrong more than half the time.

[@tughillrc6327]

It is a great micro plane that fly's like a big plane. I will re-work the mount on the helmet ⛑️ camera. My friend John lost the washer that helps change the angle.I need more up adjustment anyway.Thanks for watching and your support.

[@jollyroger2226]

Nice maiden flying. Looks like a winner. I am a bit jealous of your very light wind conditions.

[@tughillrc6327]

It was a very rare day indeed. That was super light wind for on the Tug Hill. Thanks for watching and your comments.

[@gblyndensrandomreviews]

Solid maidens Tug! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@tughillrc6327]

Thanks GB and Thanks for watching.

[@A.M.-RC]

Looks like a great little plane! Nice maiden!

[@tughillrc6327]

I have flown it 5 flights now and will say it is better in the air than the UMX Air Tractor in wind. That being said I am sure you would love one if you buy one. Thanks for watching.

[@SlowFlyer85]

Tug this one is on my list but there out of stock have to wait it so far lot of good reviews on this draco out nice job😊👍👍👍

[@tughillrc6327]

It was very fun to fly even on 3s. Very much like the UMX Air Tractor or the UMX Turbo Timber. Very slow on 3S with out flaps I did a 2nd flight after this one with flaps it almost stands still. Hope you enjoy yours when you get it. Thanks for watching

[@tughillrc6327]

Update Horizon Hobby has a 4S 300mah 30c and a 4S 450mah 50C battery both with JST connectors I got the 4S 450mah 50C battery's on order I hope the weight of the battery's are not to much for the Micro Draco to handle.

[@robertdroner]

Talk about a perfect spot to fly! Impressive! Love my little Draco. BTW - TugHill, NY? If so, you are close... I run a 525mAh 4s in this bird. Super flights!

[@tughillrc6327]

Yep we are close. My spouse went to SUNY Oswego for 8 years. Lewis county is a great place to live. I agree the Micro Draco is a little beast on the 4s 450mah 50c packs. I now have 35 flights on mine. I do not video all my flights because I fly for enjoyment and PTSD therapy. I am a combat veteran that served 23 years 5 years in combat zones.

[@robertdroner]

@@tughillrc6327 No combat for me but 4 years as a young Marine 75-79. 0331 Machine Gunner Thank you for your service sir.

[@littsrc1726]

Nice flight Tug 👍

[@tughillrc6327]

Thanks Litts, Me and John B want to come fly with you someday. Please contact us at [e-mail] so I can give you my phone number so we can set up a date and time we can meet at your airfield. We are both A.M.A. members as well as members of the Steuben Red Barons Club of Barneveld N.Y. and both would love to come fly with you.

[@JohnVHRC]

Good job!

[@tughillrc6327]

You would had done better John. That goofy Helmet cam needs a overhaul again on my mount. Wished I had a GB to help sometimes. Thanks for watching.

[@JohnVHRC]

@@tughillrc6327 A cameraman helps! I have had great luck with a gopro, and set it to linear (zoomed) on the camera, then use the app to make sure its pointed at the model before recording. Best of luck!

[@tughillrc6327]

Thanks for the Tip John.@@JohnVHRC

[@victorrcjets7660]

Little hard to taxi😊

[@tughillrc6327]

Yes, the first flight I was not use to the lightness of the tail wheel and did not hold up elevator to keep it planted. The 2nd and third flights went much better on keeping the taxi's strait as well as cross wind take offs. Thanks for watching Victor&Airboss

[@tughillrc6327]

[@mikebird8290]

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I GET MINE BEEN WAITING ####### AGES 🥲. GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE THAT WAIT 🙏🏼🇺🇲

[@tughillrc6327]

It is worth the Wait Mike, I rank it next to the UMX Air Tractor as far as flight but #1 in looks. Thanks for watching
