It excels at STOL and scale-like flying — and looks amazing while doing both!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy most estimates, planning and building the full-size DRACO should have taken years. Entrepreneur Mike Patey \u0026amp;mdash; whose exceptional drive and Back to Work™ ethic have inspired thousands of people \u0026amp;mdash; accomplished it in just over five months! Mike started with a Wilga 2000, replacing its Lycoming O-540 piston engine with a Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop boasting about twice the power at half the weight. Many additional modifications followed before Mike proudly unveiled his \u0026amp;quot;ultimate bush plane\u0026amp;quot;. 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\u0026amp;apos;s redesign as an experimental exhibition aircraft. The DRACO 2.0m is equally unique and astounding \u0026amp;mdash; and it\u0026amp;apos;s also one of the most highly-engineered, detailed and feature-rich E-flite® aircraft yet!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the incredible ingenuity and effort Mike Patey put into building the full-sized aircraft, E-flite® offers the first 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 \u0026amp;quot;stinger\u0026amp;quot; 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 \u0026amp;mdash; 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 \u0026amp;mdash; even when taxiing backward with the optional-use motor reversing (compatible Smart receiver and 7+ channel transmitter required for reversing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory-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\u0026amp;ndash;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\u0026amp;apos;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\u0026amp;apos;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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Plug-N-Play® (PNP) version lets experienced modelers choose and use their own transmitter, receiver, battery and charger. 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. An ULTIMATE Combo including the BNF Basic version airplane, a Spektrum transmitter, Smart battery, Smart charger, the special tools and glue you need for assembly \u0026amp;ndash; plus a copy of RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator \u0026amp;ndash; is also available and saves you more than $70 compared to purchasing all of the items separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre 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. Based on the Carbon Cub flown by Mike\u0026amp;apos;s wife, Chandra Patey, it\u0026amp;apos;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) version includes everything needed to fly in one box and is the perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideos\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ciframe
