I am telling you, If your comfortable with a Timber or any highwing like Bigfoot, then dont let the wind keep you from flying. This thing cares not about the wind!!
Great maiden! When you got down and just laughed it put a big smile on my face as I know the feeling when your a bit scared and get it down in one piece.
I'm a little late to the party, having just gotten my Draco a couple weeks ago, but REALLY like the thing! With 6-7 flights logged, this is not just a new plane, but a whole new world to me because of its electric power. Until now, my experience in electrics had been limited to small Blade Helicopters, and planes using batteries the size of a stick of Dentine gum...SO...I am getting an education in the care of these much larger batteries as well. Lucky for me, I have a great resource in fellow flyers who are helping me do all this with a proper degree of safety. Great exciting video showcasing this great (BIG for me) plane. Thank you! Kim
@@Nothinglefttosay Thank You! I'll be flying it out of my front yard once I get a little more familiar with it! Haven't been able to fly as much as I'd like due to winds and other distractions, but the Fun is on its way!
Hey there...! I just took my Draco for her maiden flight yesterday...🤘🎉 She flew exactly how yours went along with the giggles. I have never had a plane weigh so much and fly like a Bixler 3... easy to throw around IF you get the CG correct.. 👍 BIG thumbs up and I will subscribe... Thank you 🙏
This plane is freaking awesome. I went to oshcosh one year and I saw the real plane and met the pilot mike piety . Such an unreal plane . I hope a builds another one. This is the next Rc plane on my list for sure .
@@FatGuyFliesRC hahahahaha One day I'll make a concerted effort to grow up BUT NOT FOR QUITE A SOME TIME That's my normal reply to peoples comments ITS GREAT BEING A GROWN UP KID....... ITS WHEN YOUR DREAMS REALY DO COME TRUE..... STAY WELL BRIAN
Got mine with a maiden yesterday..! Just subscribed to your channel... I’m about to throw more videos up on my channel... need more cameras for my planes...😳🇦🇺
Well Eflite planes do cost more , but you get quality and great customer service when you buy from HH. And no I get nothing from them. I am just a pleased customer.
a nicely done and informative video....I do like that plane , but a $600.00 price tag is a bit steep, so I am hoping HH will come out with a smaller model ( 3S battery type ) and a bit more affordable .......thanks
We shall see, in the mean time the Timber Turbo is very similar as far as flight. I have 5 flights now on the DRACO and it reminds me of a big Timber Turbo.
I should have bought a Draco versus the Twimber, Fact… August 2024 there’s a RC Aircraft Swap Meet in Texas. I’ll have to find out where, hobby store near Ardmore told me he gets a table every year and I’ve got a rare ARF to Sell.
Several of the guys at our club that got them early on don’t fly them any more. Back to their Timber’s. A very expensive plane, especially if you break it!
True I have the big Carbon Z T28 that I need to fly also. However with DRACo there are plenty of parts, that will not be the case with the T28 as the parts dwindle away.
The Avon Park runway is 250 feet long and about 43 feet wide. Our membership is hovers at about 50 members. The U230 US Fabrics runway is one of the better additions, as well at the potable water at the shade structure, the off grid solar array, the golf cart to fetch downed aircraft and make rest room runs to the clubhouse about 1000 ft away. Glad you are enjoying our field Fat Guy Flies RC. Avon Park Aeromodelers, Inc Secretary 863-257-1809. Want to fly here.... AMA required, visitors welcome, AMA rules, See something unsafe....say something in a nice way. Folks here every day that is decent starting about 8AM
Yes however you will have to share SAFE on the flaps channel. Also you will not be able to change the lights unless you have a roller knob or give up a channel.
I am visiting St. Cloud in June and I would like to fly at the Avon park field . Could you please send me some info I am a AMA member. Thank you and thanks for all the videos !
The official AMA info on our field is here: www.modelaircraft.org/club/avon-park-aeromodelers-inc I cant guarantee when I will be there due to my work schedule changing all the time. However members are there almost every day of the week starting around 8am until noon or when the wives call and say lunch and chores are ready...lol! Just bring your AMA card and of course the club rules are the same as AMA rules.
Tore between picking up a Draco or the T-28 big boy( Have found a couple still available online)Leaning towards the Draco.... Umm... What do u think?? Should I even ask? LoL
This may shock you , but get the T-28, DRACO can wait, this is making HH a ton of money and its going to be around for a long time. The T-28 however is now officially gone forever and its an amazing plane. GRAB it while you can and grab all the spare parts you can afford. Also avoid power lines....lol
@@FatGuyFliesRC Thanks man! Yeah good points. Jason(HH) said on the T-28 re-introduction video thread however that they will bring it back once they put the newer rx in it. Could be next year, but who really knows. Price will prob go up as well. I found a couple still available online, but if you can believe this shipping is going to cost $150-200. I almost spit my coffee out. UPS have raised their rates due to loss of Amazon contract I guess.. I did stop by my local hobby shop today, and wouldn't you know he has one on the shelf...LoL... A local Hobbytown has a Draco in stock as well. Hard to believe really. Have to make up my freaking mind!!!
@@josefmd Just so you know this last batch of carbon t28 was the reintroduction with a newer rx.what was the date on that thread fron Jason? i hope i am wrong.

Into the wind for take off and landing. keep her level and nose into the wind as much as possible .Turn with some speed until your ready to learn coordinated turns.
The Draco 2.0m is more than I hoped and much more than I expected!!! Mighty Beast to behold and a lamb to fly!!!
Ok it's time to have a yard sale , don't fly anything else.
I get first dibs on your collection😁
A tip: you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Franklin Peter yup, have been watching on flixzone for since november myself =)
@Franklin Peter Definitely, have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D
Love to hear the laughter. I know the feeling. That’s what it’s all about!
Thanks, when I got home and watched the video I thought yeah this guy is really happy with his new toy!!
Enjoyment enjoyment love watching you have fun
Yeah my inner kid really came out with this plane!
Woo Hoo! Great flight! Still waiting for the weather gods to cooperate to maiden my DRACO. Hope I have half as much fun as you did!

Great maiden! When you got down and just laughed it put a big smile on my face as I know the feeling when your a bit scared and get it down in one piece.
Oh yes, I kinda shocked my self at how happy I was with this plane. I have (like many) been waiting with high anticipation for this bird!!

And I hope to never truly grow up...lol! I know a few true grown ups, very boring unhappy people!
@@FatGuyFliesRC hahahahaha
One day I'll make a concerted effort to grow up BUT NOT FOR QUITE A SOME TIME
That's my normal reply to peoples comments ITS GREAT BEING A GROWN UP KID....... ITS WHEN YOUR DREAMS REALY DO COME TRUE.....
STAY WELL
BRIAN
Love it - wonderful flight FGF
Still awaiting mine ordered when released but now delayed until July here in OZ
Its worth the wait.
Got mine with a maiden yesterday..!
Just subscribed to your channel...
I’m about to throw more videos up on my channel... need more cameras for my planes...😳🇦🇺
NICE! I was considering this before E-Flite released their 80mm F-16 today! Now I’m re-considering my next plane. Great Video!
Well Eflite planes do cost more , but you get quality and great customer service when you buy from HH. And no I get nothing from them. I am just a pleased customer.
I know this is your favourite plane now 😀, that laughing tho 😂😂😂😂 beautiful video
I love it, Perhaps toooooo much. Its okay to love your planes just LOVE your planes.....LOL
Good video! I could tell you were actually enjoying the bird too!
Yes I did. I am afraid I got a little to excited. Could not help it though. Like so many of us I am just so excited to have a DRACO finally!!
Great job
Thanks so much!!

To be honest I wish I never bought my Twimber I prefer either DRACO or my Timber EVO.
Great review, thanks !!
Thanks for watching!
Its a awesome piece of machinery and greatly designed, flies great but its a ugly looking plane lol, great flight there my friend!!
So ugly its elegant!!!!
you got a cool name man
Thanks so much!

Not flown mine yet can't wait
If you have flown a Timber its going to seem very familiar. Its like a Timber Turbo on steroids!

I was there today, about 3pm to 5pm. Love our field.
Fun amazing maiden flight, will I be able to use reverse with my NX6 radio ?
Yes however you will have to share SAFE on the flaps channel. Also you will not be able to change the lights unless you have a roller knob or give up a channel.
@@FatGuyFliesRC oh ok thanks for the feedback, perhaps I’ll do that.
When I hear people say how expensive it is. I just have to laugh, because how can you put a price on having that much fun!
It really brought the kid out in me!!! I subded. You really have some diverse videos.
Hi do u no wat the 2 extra wires are for near the bind plug wire and lighting controller
I did not use either one. I used the bind button on the receiver. I actually have no idea what those wires are for?
Me to ha ha
Thay are extra plugs from esc not for anything
Fly more like a powered glider.
I can see that. Thanks for the visit.
When u gonna fly that eflite corsair 1.2m again!!
Hopefuly soon, DRACO can handle this wind we have been having but I am too chicken to fly low wings in this wind.

Not for a while . I will how ever be getting the new Timber Turbo.
Many thanks for your encouragement.
As i wait, i took myself for a flight lol
ruclips.net/video/lIXtLa1bIJ0/видео.html
I have the F-16 falcon 80mm from e-flight... WOW 🤩 jaw dropping speed.
You should get one... 😁
What battery do you use on the Draco 500 or 600 / 6 cell
5000 6s about 2 finger widths bachkfrom front.
Your scared ???? I'm shaking just thinking about my maiden flight! And if you remember I haven't even umboxed mine yet.
Into the wind for take off and landing. keep her level and nose into the wind as much as possible .Turn with some speed until your ready to learn coordinated turns.
@@FatGuyFliesRC for sure Myself I do coordinated turns all the time and don't even think about it.
Ist
Grats!!
