Introducing the E-flite DRACO 2.0m – The Ultimate Bush Plane

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.

The Extra Scale DRACO 2.0m is one of the most detailed and feature-rich E-flite aircraft to date, and the only officially-licensed model of Mike Patey’s ultimate bush plane. It excels at STOL and scale-like flying — and looks amazing while doing both!

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 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.

Amazing feat of engineering for both the original and the scale version. 👏🏻 😮

[BrianPhillipsRC]

Looks AMAZING! Thanks to Horizon Hobby and Mike Patey for helping share this thing of beautiful with the rest of the world!

[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. 😎👍.

[czflyer]

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

[johnsonsthsquadron]

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.

[richardrosenau]

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

[aaroncasey]

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

[LoveRC]

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

[speedracermatt]

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

[JeffinLowerAlabama]

Boom Mike Dropping great, Jeff in LA USA

[KFlyguy]

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!

[carycosgrove]

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!

[shiznuts]

Wow, that's epic!
Especially seeing at Mike Patey's homefield!

[PhilBender]

I can't believe what I'm seeing. This thing is so damn AWESOME! ...and I literally just bought a eflite A-10 and a new nx8. I must have this plane though. I'll find the money....Love Mike Patey. Great job horizon!

[Alanc]

I can totally see the hard work and collaboration between Horizon Hobby and Mike P. Even at this price, its well worth it! Suspension, shocks, four blade prop! ! The scale details on this Draco are BANANAS! Click BUY!

[VinceIrie]

I need this in my life! Getting one for sure 😎👌🏽

[flyandplayAUSTRALIA]

What a ripper! The look on Mike's face says it all! Awesome work HH!

[MomberyMochi]

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

[normsimpson]

Ok. This is getting added to my drone collection. Wow this is a nice looking aircraft.
