Mike Patey's undeniable passion, exceptional drive, and work ethic (Back to Work™) have led to him designing and building some of the most unique and incredible aircraft – while his infectious enthusiasm has inspired thousands of people to enjoy RC and full-scale aviation along the way! Starting with a Wilga 2000 and replacing its Lycoming O-540 piston engine with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop boasting about twice the power at half the weight, then many additional modifications later, Mike proudly unveiled his “ultimate bush plane.” It could go to the same places as a Carbon Cub but 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 E-flite DRACO 2.0m was equally unique and astounding, and since its release, it's become one of the best-selling RC aircraft ever! But many pilots have asked for a smaller version that's more convenient, easier to fly, and most importantly–is more affordable too. The Micro DRACO 800mm delivers in every way to offer the most practical and fun-to-fly replica for intermediate to experienced pilots yet!
Easy Assembly
The Micro DRACO arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos, and receiver installed. All you need to do is install the one-piece wing with a single screw, which can be removed quickly and easily for even more convenient storage and transport. It's also factory-finished with a premium, fully painted, plus decal trim scheme that makes for a scale replica you'll be proud to show off everywhere you go.
Scale Features
Micro DRACO is equipped with several functional scale features, including flaps and LED navigation, landing, and simulated strobe lights. It also features many scale details, including antennas, steps, wingtip “stinger” skids, molded-in rivets, panel lines, corrugation on the control surfaces, and more.
Versatile Power
The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor can drive the four-blade propeller with 3S or 4S 300mAh batteries. Install a 3S battery for slow and smooth scale flying and basic aerobatics, or a 4S battery to deliver better-than-scale vertical and aggressive aerobatic performance – without any modifications or upgrades!
Telemetry Capable
The Micro DRACO 800mm is equipped with a control unit/flight controller that includes an ESC and Spektrum receiver that provides real-time flight battery voltage, current draw, motor RPM, and other telemetry information to compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters while you fly.
Capable Gear
The oversized, tundra-style tires on the sprung wire main gear with simulated KING shocks soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance. They also make it possible to taxi over, take off from, and land on a variety of surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size to handle – from the grass surfaces found at many parks and sports fields to gravel paths and paved surfaces, too.
Durable Design
Construction with advanced EPS material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe that's also easily repairable with odorless/foam-safe CA, Foam 2 Foam, epoxy, and other foam-friendly adhesives. If you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.
Skill Level 2 – Some Experience Required
Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots with some experience and the skills to assemble and/or set up and fly similar class models. Although this is the easiest to fly DRACO model yet, it's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots or a “next step after a trainer” model for low-time RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly higher performance ultra-micro models like the various UMX Timber models or larger models like the Slow Ultra Stick 1.2m, Valiant 1.3m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the Micro DRACO.
Are you new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, Micro DRACO is not a suitable first-ever RC model, and we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft. 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.
