Product Information

A bush plane like no other

The full-size DRACO began life as a Wilga 2000. After Mike Patey’s hard work and determination were finished with it the DRACO was born and quickly established itself as the ultimate bush plane. A new turboprop engine and many more modifications saw the DRACO able to go to the same places as the Carbon Cub but could reach 28,000 feet altitudes, climb twice as fast and reach cruising speeds of 289km/h with 4 passengers plus gear. The FAA approved the redesign done by Mike Patey as an ‘experimental exhibition aircraft’. When you see the highly engineered and visually stunning DRACO 2.0m from E-flite you’ll understand why!  

E-flite Draco Bush Plane

As the only officially licensed scale replica E-flite knew it had to give the Extra Scale DRACO 2.0m RC bush plane the scale detailing and engineering it deserved. They have delivered. Externally the factory-applied finish on the lightweight, fully moulded durable EPO airframe is eye-catching. The Extra Scale features adding to this superb appearance include antennas, wingtip ‘stinger’ skids, steps, and much more. The detailed cockpit with a backlit instrument panel and a pilot figure can be easily seen through the clear windows and windshield. The functional Extra Scale details on the E-flite DRACO 2.0m RC bush plane include leading-edge slats, slotted flaps, scale-like licensed KING shocks on the tail wheel, and main gear plus more.  

With 17 LEDs on the airframe and a custom LED controller, you can select strobing, solid, or a combination of light patterns from your compatible transmitter. The carbon fibre custom-made main gear is fitted with oversized tundra-style tyres that you ample prop clearance and absorb the harsh bumps. The steerable shock-absorbing tailwheel also provides excellent ground handling with the option of backward taxiing with an optional-use motor reversing feature available with a compatible 7+ channel transmitter and SMART receiver.  

E-flite RC Bush Plane

The E-flite DRACO 2.0m RC Bush Plane delivers precision control from the 6 metal geared, factory-installed servos with ball-link equipped internal linkages. The large 4-blade propeller on the DRACO is driven by a high-powered brushless outrunner motor that can run 4000 to 7000mAh LiPo batteries depending on whether you want to fly smooth and slow or speed into vertical aerobatics. The E-flite DRACO 2.0m RC Bush Plane also comes equipped with a Spektrum Avian 100mAh SMART ESC with the BNF version also including a SMART AR637TA receiver that will give you full range telemetry that includes real-time current, motor RPM, ESC temperature, battery voltage plus more if you have a compatible AirWare equipped transmitter. 

Easy no-tool assembly/disassembly is achieved with a two-piece wing that is secured with thumbscrews requiring only a quarter turn. In the BNF version of the E-flite DRACO 2.0m RC Bush Plane you get the optional-use SAFE Select and AS3X technology that will work behind the scenes to smooth out your flight characteristics and also provide flight envelope protection with set parameters. If you go with the Plug-N-Play (PNP) option you can equip your DRACO with the battery, receiver, charger and transmitter of your choice. Either option is going to give you a brilliant scale STOL flying experience like no other RC plane before it!

It’s an officially licensed replica of Mike Patey’s ultimate bush plane that can be flown in more places and smaller spaces. See more information and the Miro DRACO in action in this video: https://youtu.be/EqWAG0higk0?si=JUzbgNPCdyFDyh5e 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. 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 (www.horizonhobby.cc/CarbonCubS2RTF). 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.
