Overview

Inspired by Mike Patey's legendary, one-of-a-kind DRACO, E-flite has created the Micro DRACO 800mm, a scaled-down version that makes the ultimate bush plane experience more affordable, convenient, and accessible. This officially licensed replica is slightly larger than a UMX model, allowing for an incredible level of detail while remaining small enough to fly in large yards, parks, and sports fields. It's packed with functional features, including operational flaps for impressive STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) performance, and a full array of factory-installed LED lights, including navigation, landing, and simulated strobes. The powerful brushless motor is compatible with both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries, giving you the choice between smooth, scale-like flight and better-than-scale vertical performance for aggressive aerobatics.

The Micro DRACO arrives mostly factory-assembled and is packed with technology. The factory-installed Spektrum receiver and ESC provide real-time telemetry data like battery voltage and motor RPM to compatible transmitters. It also features exclusive, expertly tuned AS3X technology that makes it feel like you're flying a much larger model, even in some wind. For added confidence, optional-use SAFE Select flight envelope protection is also available. The airframe is loaded with moulded details like rivets and panel lines, and the oversized tundra-style tyres on sprung landing gear can handle rough surfaces with ease. The one-piece wing attaches with a single screw for quick assembly and convenient transport. It all adds up to an authentic DRACO flying experience in a practical size that any intermediate to experienced pilot can enjoy.

Bind-N-Fly® Advantage: Get Flying Faster

Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? This Bind-N-Fly® aircraft gets you in the air fast. It comes with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver pre-installed. Just bind the receiver to your compatible transmitter, complete the minor final assembly, and you're ready for an amazing control experience.

Stable Flying with AS3X® & SAFE® Select

Experience an incredibly locked-in flight with exclusive Spektrum™ technologies. AS3X® works behind the scenes to smooth out wind and turbulence, making it feel like a much larger plane. Optional-use SAFE® Select offers bank limits and self-levelling, making this the easiest to fly DRACO model yet, perfect for building confidence.

Quick and Easy One-Screw Wing Assembly

The Micro DRACO arrives mostly factory-assembled. All you need to do is install the one-piece wing with a single screw, making it incredibly fast to get ready. The wing can also be easily removed for convenient transport and storage. It's factory-finished with a premium paint and decal scheme you'll be proud of.

Incredible Functional and Scale Detailing

This isn't just a model; it's a miniature replica. Micro DRACO is loaded with functional scale features, including flaps and a full LED light system with navigation, landing, and strobe lights. It also boasts details like antennas, steps, wingtip skids, and moulded-in rivets, creating a truly authentic scale appearance.

Scale Cruising to Aggressive Aerobatics

Choose your performance level. The brushless motor and four-blade prop are compatible with 3S or 4S 300mAh batteries. Use a 3S pack for smooth, scale-like flying, or plug in a 4S battery for better-than-scale vertical performance and aggressive aerobatics—no modifications required to switch between mild and wild!

Real-Time Telemetry with Spektrum™ Technology

Stay connected to your aircraft's vitals. The Micro DRACO is equipped with a control unit that provides real-time telemetry data, including flight battery voltage, current draw, and motor RPM, to your compatible Spektrum AirWare™ transmitter. This essential information helps you manage your flight and land safely every time.

All-Terrain Gear with Tundra-Style Tyres

Fly from surfaces that are impossible for most models this size. The oversized, tundra-style tyres on the sprung wire main gear with simulated KING shocks soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance. This allows you to easily operate from grass, gravel paths, and paved surfaces for ultimate versatility.

Lightweight and Durable Advanced EPS Construction

Constructed with advanced EPS material, this airframe is both lightweight and durable, allowing for more intricate surface detail than traditional foam. It's also easily repairable with foam-safe CA and other common adhesives. In case of a major mishap, a full line of spare parts is readily available to get you flying again quickly.
