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.

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 👍

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

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.

[nirlachman]

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

[airhammer]

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

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.]

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.

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

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

[ModelAVRChannel]

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!

[erikshute]

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

[darrellsemaken]

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!

[alanshearing]

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 🙏🏼.

[chrisB_OG]

Also, thumbs up on the hybrid voice format!

[michaelromingerjr]

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!

[ForzaRoja]

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

[Mike-pbbj]

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

[markduckworth]

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.

[Tomc]

We used to have a Navion.
Cool little Draco.

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