DRACO 2.0m, Smart BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select
Horizon # EFL12550

Most would think that planning and building the original DRACO must have taken several years. Entrepreneur Mike Patey – whose extraordinary drive and "Back to Work"^™ ethic have inspired thousands of people – accomplished it in just over five months! Mike started with a Wilga 2000 and replaced the Lycoming O-540 piston engine with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop, which had about twice the power and half the weight. Many more modifications followed until Mike finally unveiled his "ultimate bushplane." The Draco could go anywhere a Carbon Cub could land, but had double the climb rate, could reach up to 28,000 feet, and had a cruise speed of 180mph fully loaded! The changes from the original Wilga were so extensive that the FAA approved Mike's aircraft as "Experimental Exhibition." The E-flite DRACO 2.0m is just as unique and impressive as its inspiration. Packed with functional features, it is one of the most advanced and detailed E-flite^® aircraft models ever!
