The E-Flite Micro DRACO 800mm RC Plane is an affordable replica of the ultimate bush plane, offering unmatched STOL performance in a convenient size.

Key Features

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.

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

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

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

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.
