    PLEASE do a challenge where you have two or three different teams and each team builds a different section of the plane (Tail, Wings, fuselage/power, etc). None of the teams will know what the others section looks like until the ending when you try to put it together and fly. Set up a couple rules as far as general size and what not but overall try to make it weird and have fun!

    • @garrykennedy5484
      @garrykennedy5484 5 лет назад +22

      OK,, But,,,,, Divide it down the middle from left and right. From prop to rudder.

  • @nathonbrown3596

    You guys should build a scale Draco

  • @ernestrodriguez4659

    Hi guys! You know what? With that tall landing gear, you should have painted it pink and called it the “Flamingo Flyer”.

    1:00 Draco is built on the basis of a Polish plane, PZL-104M Wilga 2000. Mike Patey makes a super extra unbreakable bush airplane. And the most beautiful plane of all time.
    And you did the RC supermodel :)

    I can't tell you how much I needed that Laugh. I just went through a Christmas, where I had to explain to two of my Kids and five of my Grandchildren - why I couldn't afford to get them Christmas Presents.....
    One of the saddest days of my life.

Two minutes in and already I'm laughing and I've forgotten what put me in a bad mood in the first place. Thanks again guys! Bad Assed landing gear, now make it retractable!!!!! Or fold the plane into the gear, ha ha ha ha.

  • @Drachen596

    It would have been amazing if you could have made the farings into actual wings and then added a motor that would raise the gear up to horizontal, turning them into biplane wings.

    Draco flew over my house the other day (owner is local and hangers it at the municipal near my house). Seeing what is essentially a bush plane fly overhead but hearing the sound of a turboprop is one of those wtf moments.

    @rotortrek9531 5 лет назад

    Fun video, guys! Ya know, the bush planes have big wheels for a reason. Those tiny wheels on your plane have too much friction in the grass, hence nose-over. Think back to the WW1 biplanes with big bicycle wheels for grass airfields. I enjoyed watching. :-)

    You guys get to do what lots of folks would like to do if they had the knowledge, resources, and time. Build stuff, and and abuse it until it breaks, not really care if it doesn't work. Learn from it, and move on. What fun it must be to work there.

  • @emjayw3018

    I used to live on 20 acres in Minnesota about 10 years ago. My landlord was a really awesome lady, but rarely mowed, so in order to take off from the ground (because I only fly .40-size and up), I had to convert everything to tail dragger with huge gear to get the props up out of the weeds....not like THIS though...lol

    You can't say "just like DRACO" when it's exaggerated that bad in just landing struts only. Mike changed his control surfaces (way bigger), power output, and wheel size etc. Proportionately everything got exagerated together just enough, but not too much.
