Dubro tires are too heavy. The Draco already has a nose heavy issue and added these tires just adds to the problem. In my openion. I when with the Kavan 5” tires. Much lighter, and more to scale. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing. Did you paint the hubs black? The Dubro’s we get are a gray/ off white colour. Also you didn’t mention drilling them out to accomodate the axle shaft size. With the increased side loads of the tyres Brendan McCormacks leg mospd is worth considering as well.
Nice review and modification on this beauty ! I Will buy the draco soon , that's why I'm happy to see this video ! I hate foamy weels . What kind of device you take to put some air on dubro weels ? Because it's looks like a special valve ! 💙✈️👍
It was good seeing you again Eddie. I hope it doesn't take a whole year to do it again.
I got a set of kavans and they worked great with no mods and no issues
Thanks for posting, a must watch for upgrading to rubber tires.
The big rubber tires make such a difference! With these on you can land Draco like a butterfly with sore feet.

Really good mod. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
I wonder if the 5" Du-Bros wouldn't have been better? Otherwise, great addition to the Draco. I love Du-Bro tires.
The dubros add almost a pound to the plane.

nice modyfication :D
Wow those planes look more expensive then real ones. Lol😊
I set mine up factory . With 2 washers inside one out . On shaft . Can’t add a picture
great video!!
What size are those wheel nuts
Eddie, excellent video. Can you use 6" Dubro inflatable tires on the Draco. Thank you.
Curious what bit size did you use on the dubros so that they would fit on your Draco.
I used a 13/64” bit…
Kal Van tires are lighter and better.
Unfortunately they are from Kiev and you can't get them at this time
Those flathead screws need to go in the bin. The wheel looks disgusting
