THE ULTIMATE BUSH COVER

Most would think that the planning and construction of the original DRACO should have taken several years. The entrepreneur Mike Patey - his extraordinary drive and "Back to Work" ^™Ethics have inspired thousands of people - done it in just over five months! Mike took a Wilga 2000 as a basis and replaced the Lycoming O-540 piston engine with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop with about twice the power and half the weight. Many more modifications followed until Mike was finally able to unveil his "ultimate bushplane". The Draco made it anywhere a Carbon Cub could land, but had twice the climbing power, could climb up to 28,000 feet, and fully loaded at a cruising speed of 180mph! The changes compared to the original Wilga were so extensive that the FAA approved Mike's aircraft as an "Experimental Exhibition". The E-flite DRACO 2.0m is just as unique and impressive as its model.^® flight models of all time!

Functions

ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE

Inspired by the unbelievable ingenuity and tireless drive that Mike Patey put into building the original, E-flite ^{® developed}the only officially licensed replica of this ultimate bush plane! The impressive DRACO 2.0m is one of the most modern, detailed and functional RC models ever produced. In addition to the complex design and the high level of prototyping, the light and durable cell scores with a factory-applied finish and a wealth of scale details. This includes a variety of surface details, steps, antennas, stinger runners at the ends of the surface and much more. The clear windshield and windows offer an excellent view of the detailed cockpit with pilot figure and illuminated instrument panel. The functional extra scale features include licensed, true-to-scale KING shock absorbers on the main and rear landing gear, slats, slotted flaps and much more. A controller enables you to control the total of 17 LEDs distributed in the model with various stoboscopes and other light combinations directly from the transmitter. The oversized tundra-style tires on the specially developed CFRP main landing gear literally soak up bumps and offer excellent ground clearance for large propellers. The shock-absorbing and steerable star wheel enables excellent rolling properties, even when reversing with the optional thrust reverser. (Compatible smart receiver and 7+ channel transmitter required for reversing) The oversized tundra-style tires on the specially developed CFRP main landing gear literally soak up bumps and offer excellent ground clearance for large propellers. The shock-absorbing and steerable star wheel enables excellent rolling properties, even when reversing with the optional thrust reverser. (Compatible smart receiver and 7+ channel transmitter required for reversing) The oversized tundra-style tires on the specially developed CFRP main landing gear literally soak up bumps and offer excellent ground clearance for large propellers. The shock-absorbing and steerable star wheel enables excellent rolling properties, even when reversing with the optional thrust reverser. (Compatible smart receiver and 7+ channel transmitter required for reversing)

Factory-installed metal gear servos with concealed ball-head linkages ensure precise control and the powerful brushless external rotor turns a large and prototypical 4-blade propeller. The system is compatible with a wide range of 4,000–7,000 mAh batteries. You can use 4S LiPos for slow and leisurely flights or with a 6S LiPo you can let the kite off the chain and enjoy a better climb performance than the original. The model is equipped with a 100A Spektrum ^™ Avian ^™ Smart controller and the BNF ^®Basic version includes an AR637TA smart receiver. With this combination, you receive important data such as battery voltage, current, motor speed, controller temperature and more in real time on a compatible transmitter equipped with AirWare ^™ via full-range telemetry . Despite its impressive size and many details and functions, the DRACO 2.0m is ready to fly faster than it takes to charge the battery. No tools are required for assembly and disassembly at the airfield, as the two-part surface is secured with quick-release fasteners. And best of all: if you have already mastered flying with at least one or two models, then you can fly the DRACO 2.0m successfully without any problems, especially if you can take advantage of the exclusive AS3X ^® and optional SAFE^® Select technologies of the BNF ^® Basic version sets. The Draco 2.0m is a sensational overall package, which combines unsurpassed STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) properties and model loyalty to an unsurpassed flight experience!

With the Plug-N-Play ^® (PNP) version, experienced model makers can use their own transmitter, receiver, battery and charger. The Bind-N-Fly ^® (BNF) Basic version contains a Spektrum receiver that is equipped with AS3X and the optional SAFE Select technology, so that advanced and experienced modelers only have to provide their own transmitter, battery and charger.

Are you a new pilot looking for your first remote-controlled airplane? If so, we recommend that you start with one of our specially developed trainers such as the HobbyZone ^® Carbon Cub S 2 (www.horizonhobby.cc/CarbonCubS2RTF). Based on the Carbon Cub, which is flown by Mike's wife Chandra Patey, it is equipped with the exclusive and innovative SAFE technology. This enables almost everyone to learn to fly successfully! The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version contains everything you need to fly in one box and is the perfect choice for new pilots.
