Flight Talk: E-flite® DRACO 2.0m (4K)

Join us at a dry lake bed just outside of Las Vegas with Jason Merkle to learn about the features, flying characteristics and more of the ultimate bush plane!

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!

Spektrum 4S 14.8V 5000mAh 30C Smart LiPo Battery:

THE ULTIMATE BUSH PLANE

By most estimates, planning and building the full-size DRACO should have taken years. Entrepreneur Mike Patey — whose exceptional drive and Back to Work™ ethic have inspired thousands of people — accomplished it in just over five months! Mike started with a Wilga 2000, replacing its Lycoming O-540 piston engine with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop boasting about twice the power at half the weight. Many additional modifications followed before Mike proudly unveiled his “ultimate bush plane”. It could go to the same places as a Carbon Cub, but also climb twice as fast; reach altitudes up to 28,000 feet; and cruise cross-country at 180 MPH while carrying four people plus gear. Changes from the Wilga were so extensive that the FAA approved Mike’s redesign as an experimental exhibition aircraft. The DRACO 2.0m is equally unique and astounding — and it’s also one of the most highly-engineered, detailed and feature-rich E-flite® aircraft yet!

Low, slow and sexi. Just the way I love it. Amazing flight and video Jason. I love it. With every video Iam more and more inlove in this bird. Big salute to all RC lovers here from Pilot Robert Slovenia.

[RCGirl]

Wow what a beautiful sunset and perfect backdrop for some DRACO flying!

[karlwilliams]

Jason was articulate and engaging in his commentary, absolutely Smooth. At times it almost felt like an Apple presentation LOL. That’s a good thing.
It’s a credit to all involved with the development of this remarkable RC aircraft.
Congratulations 🎉

[GBLynden]

I am so pumped to get mine!!! The countdown is on 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[jjs]

Timber flying characteristics in a scale package - just what weve been waiting for!

[reckemroysrc]

Finally the coolest plane. Comes to rc. I can't wait for it to get here. BACK TO WORK 💪👷👍👍😎✌👊THANKS MIKE ✌

I picked my Draco up on Friday. Kudos to the team for capturing every minute detail of Draco. I have had the pleasure of seeing it in person at Airventure. The team have really knocked it out of the park. I have been flying for several decades and purchased many E-flite planes and this one is the king! I am dying to fly it at dusk and really enjoy the light show. So glad I was lucky enough to snag one from the first shipment. I can already tell this will be my favourite plane that makes every trip to the field. Lets get back to work ! Thanks Mike Patey and Horizon Hobbies.

Great video Jason! What a plane! The reverse taxi was clutch. Back to work

[carriestallard]

"Back to Work!" beautifully done! Nice job guys!

[thelongestday]

E-flite Draco... a must have... just brilliant!

[mikejurnak]

Is this the 1st flight video on YouTube? Looks so real amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[JohnVHRC]

Nice flying, Jason! Excited to wring mine out, glad to see some real flying footage! You guys did an amazing job.

[capnpete]

Please me, don't tease me! Do I really have to wait till 4/23 for shipping, then wait for FedUp to get around to delivering to me? I CANNOT WAIT!!! I have already ordered my batteries and I have downloaded the manual so I could program my Tx. I AM READY!!!! I'm so glad Draco is an Eflite. You guys are the BEST. Even your packaging is superior. My EC1500 came in with box damage, but the plane was not hurt due to your superior packaging. Thanks for making such superior products that make this hobby, more than a hobby. You help to make it a passion.

[Ziggiepyt]

This is my favourite plane you have ever come out with, good job 👍

[-cmafia-]

Nice flying Jason - Giddy is what comes to mind as I watch you flying this lol. I cannot wait to get mine, and you definitely know how to tease us all while we wait.

[jordandoell]

Can't wait to get my hands on this, those lights look awesome and can't wait to try out the reversing!!

[TorqueRoller]

Looks amazing doing those slow flybys. I saw Mike's announcement video the day of pre-order release and couldn't hardly wait to get home and get one on order. Great job! to everyone involved in the development!

[alpinerc]

The scale look is just crazy!! Looking forward to these sunset flights🔥

[lindenstewart]

Jason Markle, thanks for that awesome demonstration flight of the Draco, I am learning so much from your Wednesdays edition of the Draco, I am loving it,
