The
ultimate bush plane for an unmatched stol and beyond flying experience
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!
Absolutely One Of A Kind
Inspired by
the incredible ingenuity and effort Mike Patey put into building the full-sized
airwcraft, 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.
Smart Technology
The NX8
offers 10 programmable mixes, 2 sequencers, and up to 10. The exclusive
Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC provides a variety of real-time power system related
telemetry data including motor RPM, current draw, overall flight battery voltage
and more via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA installed in the BNF®
Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and
8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, the NX6, 8 and 10, the iX12, iX20 and others)
while you fly. It will even show individual cell voltages, temperature of the
flight pack and other data when using Spektrum Smart LiPo batteries. Plus, optional-use
motor reversing offers special ground handling and other capabilities
(compatible Smart receiver and 7+ channel transmitter required for reversing).
Versatile Power System
The
factory-installed Spektrum™ Avian™ 100-amp Smart ESC and high-power brushless
outrunner motor can drive the large-diameter four-blade propeller with a wide
range of batteries. Install a 4S battery for slow and smooth scale flying, a 5S
battery for added power, or a 6S battery to deliver better-than-scale vertical
performance. Best of all you can install a 4000mAh battery to keep the weight
and wing loading down, a 5000mAh battery for a great balance of performance and
handling, or up to a 7000mAh battery to achieve long flight times up to 10-15+
minutes.
Extra Scale Details
The DRACO
2.0m features an abundance of Extra Scale details including molded-in panel
lines, hatches and other surface features, steps, antennas, wingtip skids, and
much more. A clear windshield and windows plus a detailed cockpit with backlit
instrument panel and pilot figure add to the incredible scale appearance.
Functional Scale Features
Licensed,
scale-like KING shocks on the main gear and tail wheel, leading-edge slats,
slotted flaps and more are functional Extra Scale features that take your
experience to another level.
LED Lights
There are a
total of 17 LEDs throughout the airframe to simulate navigation, landing, down,
tail beacon, reversing and other lights. They’re connected to a custom light
controller with different settings you can control from the transmitter to choose
which lights turn on and off with various functions, glow solid, strobe and
more.
Capable Gear
Like the
full-scale DRACO, the articulated and shock-absorbing main gear is equipped
with oversized, tundra-style tires to soak up the bumps of rough surfaces and
provide excellent prop clearance. It’s also custom-made from fully-molded
carbon fiber to handle short takeoffs from and landings on a variety of
surfaces. The shockequipped and steerable tailwheel offers excellent ground
handling, whether moving forward or when utilizing the optional-use motor
reversing to taxi backward too.
Added Convenience
The
two-piece wing is secured with unique, quarter-turn thumbscrews so no tools are
required for field assembly/disassembly, and along with the V2 hands-free servo
connection system, makes storage and transport as easy and convenient as
possible. Best of all, you can have the DRACO 2.0m ready to fly in less time
than it takes to charge a battery!
Factory Finished
The
factory-applied paint and decal finish saves you time and makes for a scale
replica you’ll be proud to show off everywhere you go.
BNF-Basic with AS3X and SAFE
This
Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver
featuring AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind
the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a
heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're
flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft. It also has SAFE. You get:
- Pitch and
Bank Angle Limits
- Automatic
Self-Leveling
- Easy Switch
Assignment—No Complex Programming Required
The simple
procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on
and off doesn't require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds.
If you
don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver normally
and it will function like a standard AS3X receiver.
