Brian you always make it a point to say that you aren't the best 3-D pilot (when doing 3-D) etc BUT you are an amazing rc pilot. Your spatial awareness especially flying in the smallest of areas is second to none. And your ability to put the plane exactly where you want it it superb.
He man just wanted to let you and camera crew know that we enjoy the long videos. You guys are genuine and in today's world of social media 99% of content is click bait just for advertising and views. You guys have the best review channel in all of social media! Hands down! It's REAL and that's important. Great work !
Hi Brian, I'm a new rc flyer with only 24 flights under my belt using an FT Tudor. I had to buy the Micro Draco because it's so cool and I just had 3 great flights with it! This Draco was my first ever BNF plane purchase and I love it! It wasn't hard for me as a beginner to fly. I did have one issue with the plane. At one point during my flight it seemed as if the plane wouldn't turn correctly. Later I discovered that the top portion of the elevator control horn (on my plane) sticks up high enough to catch and hold/interfere with the rudder. I trimmed just a small amount of the plastic off the top of the control horn and that fixed the issue. (To test yours just hold full up elevator and full right rudder and see if yours is hanging up.) I just wanted your subscribers to check this before flying this incredible plane. Love watching your videos!
You’re right it does! 😮
Only you could make this an hour and a half video 😂
😂😂😂
@@CrazyQuadBrothersP3 😮😮😮
I just upgraded from a DX7 to an iX14 and couldn't be happier. Big screen, big battery, big weight, wifi. Just getting back into the hobby so I figured I'd go all out. Starting out with an Eflight Apprentice STS 1.5 and a FMS Ranger 1800.
Nice - Good for you! Hope you keep loving it!!!
What’s funny about this model, I’ve just finished building a sub 250 nitro plane. Used a Dumas piper cub 17.5” and a cox .049. Stol the landing gear off a umx timber. Finished in red tissue paper. Doping today, maiden tomorrow.
AWESOME! Sub 250g NITRO - AWESOME!!!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I’ll post some videos on it tomorrow, it’s my first stick and paper build and first nitro plane.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I didn’t post a video today. Tried to start and had a bad fuel tank. I have some pics posted on fb in the guillows model group though.
Awesome ! I'm sure glad you are reviewing the Micro Draco , Brian that way so I can buy it from your links. I've been patiently waiting for your review. You and your wife are the best ! Great review and always FUN !
I've got a 3s 800mAh 50c (non smart) spektrum battery that i crammed into my UMX TIMBERX. I'm totally gonna stuff that mug into my Baby Draco after a few flights with 3s300 and 3s450, for sure!!
Im so ridiculous excited for this plane. My wife is sick of me blabbing about it like a 10 yr old on xmas eve 😅👍
Its a red umx turbo timber
UMX Turbo Tiimber has 4S capability? I don't believe it does.
@@timmmax I run 4 s in mine as well as the evo
Not really just more expensive and OVER HYPED..
The full size Draco is one of my all time favorite planes… looking forward to getting the smaller one as well!
Yes, looks just as good as it big bro ❤
sure does!
Excellent video as always. Love all the info in your videos. Don't worry about the time of video. It takes what it takes!
Drives you CRAZY, ERRRRrrrrrrr, I love you man, crazy about RC, my man.
dude, i don't even have a RC and i love your channel. i'm sure you have heard this before but your the jack black of RCs lol. i may have to find a small plan to start out on
Thank you, but why not?!?!?! You NEED to do it ;) You'll love it! Do it!!!!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC i'll keep researching while getting the nerve up lol. meanwhile keep it up i'm learning a ton from you thanks again and camera crew your killing it
It's in the box still, but you sold me on the Micro Draco. Damn you and bless you Brian. Hope you and camera crew had a nice Easter.
LOL - Happy Easter to you and yours too! You won't regret it, it is SO good!
Hey Brian! Nice to see you and our lady producing great vids!
Well, here it is!!😊
Lots of foam To protect the foam from foam in here lol Brian that was hilarious.
Tks For ur Videos. I can appreciate the long videos, U the man. Take Camera Crew out to Eat
Good stuff Brian and Camera Crew!!
The Draco you crashed, did your repair work and was airworthey!! Love you all and have a blessed day!!!
Just ordered one. Cant wait!!!
Ohhhhh yeah!
WIL-ga. Definitely not Wigala
Great review Brian! Oh... my 7 year old says you have the BEST camera crew on all of RUclips! And I agree... LOL
I think its crazy that they can fit 4s and flaps on that thing! 😆
It's just 300mah
@@TheSlickpt I was just surprised about the amount of power it has
Thank you I just got my first micro draco and a nx 10 I'm excited to see it in action
Glad to see you get it. Unlike The RC Saylors. 👍🏼
Add volts to your telemetry and make an audio alert for a switch I use the momentary button I /volts . So I can just push a button when ever I wanna know how much battery I have left
How did you set that up?
@@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846 easy if u nave a nx transmitter go to telemetry screen and add volts . Then go to audio events / audio event switch / what switch you intend to use but if you use switch I put the audio event on position 1 scroll till you find volts in the audio events and done I did it that way because the other way you have to listen to everything and anywhere between 10 sec to every minute . And I fly my batteries down to about 11.0 volts half throttle so that when I land there at 11.5 volts perfect for storage . But may very from battery to battery 👍
The tape velcro hack is brilliant. Hack in the original technical definition, ie not in the bad connotation sense. Only thing I thought might be a helpful detail was mentioning the color change from red to blue when switching from AS3X to safe. Another good visual confirmation while doing setup. What I was thinking you might mention for newbies
yes, but on this plane, it's HARD to see ;) Some of these UMX'es are less opaque, in paint color, and you CAN see a hint of change while flying (close)...this one you'll only ever see when you're playing with it on the counter, getting SAFE and AS3X set. I know the Red, Blue, and Flashing all mean something, but to be honest, I don't pay any attention to what color means what (I could, but don't) and here's why - 1) I really don't care what the Brick says (the rx) - I want to SEE the results of the behavior being ordered by me, the pilot, then I can believe it ;) 2) I just know I wouldn't be able to see it in flight, so while it WOULD be nice to KNOW...I just didn't - so we didn't share this detail. Hope this makes sense. I prefer to see control surfaces doing their thing to understanding from an led - BUT, on this detail, to all their own. You know that expression, "The customer is always right, in matters of TASTE" - this would totally be a matter of taste ;)
Thanks for being here with us!
They should def build the Scrappy! I think that would be one of the best looking Rc Planes you could buy.
And small bikes on the wings - ohhhhh yeah!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC lol yes!!!! Do you think they got something coming? Is there anything we can do to help them make this happen? It would be a game changer as all the STOL planes are so outdated with colors and styles
Well.. When I was last talking to Mike he just gave me a thumbs up emoji when I asked.. So Humm that's all I know. You didn't hear that from me.😅
I would pay top dollar!!!! Hopefully another giant scale 😊.
Can’t wait to get mine! Just wish it had reverse like the big sister
WHATS UPPPP I LOVE YOUR PFP
I was totally waiting for the chicken coup to jump out and smack your Baby Draco, too!
So, do you think this would make a good 5th plane? 😅
Doesnt matter. I used your website links the minute this plane was released and my order says it shipped! Can't wait!! I'm gonna Draco the Draco out of that Draco 😂
Thanks for filming all of these awesome planes, CC!👍
First that I know, so cool, the only reason I would be MAD, you got one first, but as for me, I love ya, and so cool to see you with the new bird, buy the way, it is the only one that has come out that I want, soooo bad. Nice to see ya with it. Love you and camera crew, is the best.
My man Brian flying the hell outta that thang. Flippies and loops lol. Man I have to get me one.
Favorite UMX thus far is the UMX tractor. Love that square wing, see that in the Draco. Plus a Bush plane? I guess that's not overlap is it? 4s compatibility as well? Be haunted until I give in again and buy it
Finally, they are shipping these out! Ought to sell lots of them!
We were told they had already started shipping when we did this??? Glad yours is on the way, a really GREAT PLANE!!!
The original plane was to big for me, and right then, I asked them to build a smaller one and now here it is.@@BrianPhillipsRC
Mine came in today, hurrah!@@BrianPhillipsRC
Got mine today!!!
Thanks Again Brian
That is what I was thinking, Scrappppyyyyyyyyy. Please next.
I absolutely love my fixed wing planes like 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5..✈️I have a rack with 5 of my favourites but I hardly get to fly them as much as I fly drones and lately my favourites are direct drive rc helicopters..🚁
I was not bamboozled
I’ve been buying batteries in anticipation of getting mine around 16 march here in uk Brian I didn’t think it had flaps at first but well happy it has , I can’t wait to get mine lol 😂 I also have a 1 meter wingspan wilga that was sold I think by hobby king I don’t think it’s top rc who made it but it’s not a well named company oh I forgot it has a side opening door where you put reciver and battery in , big salute 🫡 from uk , G🇬🇧
That is king.... love the mustang prop.....lol (4 blade).... its a better timber.... love it
I love this plane, but I don't think it's BETTER or WORSE than the timber. They're both GREAT, but the TIMBER is way lighter on it's feet. It's also more capable as an RC plane, but if you want a more SCALE look and flight performance, this DRACO is the way to go. Also, it's quite a bit more pricey, so for some, it'll be a sticking point...but REALLY, a few bucks more than another GREAT plane - commmmon man ;) $30-40 more for all this amazing detail, AND 4S ;) OHHHHHHHHH YEAH!
Love both!
Just when i think i can save my money here comes BP with another banger. Im already broke why yall do me like this 😂
I love to fly my big R/C Airplanes but i find myself flying my UMX Airplanes more than my bigger Airplanes. This is a awesome little Airplane and I have 2 ordered. I have flown the big Draco and was saving up for one but during my time I was saving that dang Twinber Came out and poof!!!! My money disappeared 😂 I am glad though because I am 💯 positive I will fly one of these smaller ones more than the 2 meter version. Thank you for your awesome review.
Keep the NX10 for us and the install videos. We need to the familiar screen settings to visualise. Get another one for your own pleasure 😂
Brian great flying and review, fun video Camera Crew, Jeff in LA USA
Try the spectrum 4s 450 battery Brian, it CG's perfect and you get 8 minutes with 20% to spare. Thanks for the show.
Isn't that what we used??? (OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the one form the UMX F-86 - that would be nice! BUT gotta make an adapter)
@@BrianPhillipsRC The 450 4s battery i received did not need an adapter to the ESC. so many choices and so little time, thanks Brian
Nice this has pushed me over the edge! Had to order one from your links! The apprentice STOL video pushed me over the edge couple months ago also! Also keeping burning up Sport Cub S2 motors up. With these 2S 300mah batteries when you have your charger set to 0.3amp to charge is the display on your charger showing it is charging @ 0.3 amp? With my S1200 G2 when I'm set to charge @ 0.3 amp it displays 0.5 amp charging rate.
NICE!!! Thanks, and did you catch when I suggested the STOL Apprentice 700mm _FIRST_ - am living rent free in your head, or what???!??!?! evidently - LOL LOL LOL ;)
Love this plane, and love the Apprentice STOL 700mm for beginners. The Draco will be no problemo for you, if you have plenty of stick time with your Apprentice STOL 700mm
@@BrianPhillipsRC I definitely caught the STOL Apprentice 700mm comment! It currently is way too windy for me to be flying! I have already programed the Draco into my NX8 don't even have the plane yet and won't probably fly it for a while. My plan will be to fly the Stol 700m and my Apprentice S2 1.2mm for a bunch of flights than the Draco! I've done the buying and flying a plane well beyond my skill level thing already! Luckily the plane still is functional and has been repaired a couple of times! That plane has been collecting dust for months.
Finally!
Love your videos and attention to detail Brian! Don't change a thing. Leave the YT shorts for those Gen Z's with A.D.D. 😁 😉 as I watched your entire video on this Micro Draco🛩 and LOVED it! Can't wait to see you do a twilight/night flight with all those LED lights! (...too bad this doesn't have a tail light btw) Thanks for great content sir and keep it coming! 👍 P.S. GO FTCA!!!
That’s great I plan on getting one today what video what I look for to find your little tutorial on how to make the battery holder out of packing tape I really like that and then didn’t save it thank you have a great weekend
5:13 Apprentice STOL S 700mm vs Micro Draco; you're welcome😁
The fact that they're offering this as a combo with a smart charger and nx7! Is a home run! I have been waiting for a top notch rtf combo especially since I have been in need of a good radio😁

Well I just ordered a 55" Spitfire balsa arf that im gonna build brushless. Really excited about that I've been wanting a Spitfire for a long time. Gotta have this draco too though😂
Is that a black horse model.? Very cool
@@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846its a phoenix model. Looking for a good 4 blade prop for it now
Number of poles set in SmartESC, very bottom. Just in case anyone was wondering 😉.
I wasn’t a big fan of the 2m Draco. Huge, heavy, expensive… and also the design wasn’t quite my cup of tea - still, this Micro version hit a nerve. Love the lights and the way it flies. When it arrives here in Germany, it will be on my list very likely.
Would have been awesome, if Horizon would have added forward programming and thrust reverse to the controller. Just for the fun factor to allow to back up.
I'm not sure if you are pronouncing "Wig-La" on purpose. It supposed to be "Will-ga" thus the spelling is Wilga. But you still made me smile. 😊
I make a fool of myself all the time - might as well add this to the list ;) LOL
Thanks for the heads up!!!
I love the draco! However, spectrum radios are a waste of money when you can get Radiomaster radios for fractions of the price yet get SO much more! All the Radiomaster radios running 4in1 and edge tx can fly and even forward program these eflite planes, can bind with nearly any other rc protocol out there and are 16+ channels!
I think you're forgetting probably the biggest factor for beginners - ease of use. Spektrum has a very intuitive and easy to use interface, and even the NX6 & NX7e now had 14 channels, and the NX8,10 etc have 20 channels. If you can't get help, then so many people will just pass on the hobby. That's not to say RadioMaster hasn't got a slight edge in some areas, but I don't care how many channels if it doesn't compel people to take the plunge. Could Spektrum TX'es be less expensive - I wish they were. I also think it would be cool to have LESS offerings - there's too many "middle steps"...other than these items, I think Spektrum is still a good value if you use them for a lot of aircraft, like we do.
@@BrianPhillipsRC you have to learn how to use any radio you get regardless and the radiomaster ones have a setup wizard that works pretty great and is fairly easy to use. There's also just as much information, support and community around the radiomaster ones so learning from others isn't an issue there as well. I wouldn't say the radiomaster radios have just a "slight" advantage when you can use them for nearly any aircraft or receiver out there not just spectrum ones. Plus being open source means there's a huge community making all sorts of add ons and upgrades you can do as you grow. I agree that spectrum radios are nice but they are a waste of money and are the middle ground product if anyone wants to fly anything other than spectrum. A tx16s radio is more capable than spectrum radios, is fairly easy to learn with videos, has a huge touch screen and can fly nearly all aircraft without needing to buy more "middle" products. I love your videos as always though, I just like to let people know about other better options and not getting stuck in the spectrum ecosystem.
@@BrianPhillipsRC also, I highly appreciate that you're focused on getting and keeping people in the hobby too!! Thanks for all you do!
It looks like the same flight Charactaristics of the UMX Air Tractor, as i have the UMX AT is it really worth the investment in this Micro DRACO?
Hi i was thinking the same thing and was comparing the two UMX air tractor 700mm and the 800mm micro Draco as my third plane as i want something under 1m with flaperons i hope Brian could do a comparison video.😄
@@demonlux3ltr146 From what i have seen all UMX planes fly the same with the exception of the UMX Crescendo.
Let's go!!
Hey Brian. Thanks for another great how to do video. I have the Micro and love it. My first model using the NX8. Question? The 2m Draco uses the KNOB switch for lights. Is there a similar lights setup for the Micro? I didn't see anything outlined in the manual for the Micro.
I thought the same thing, but don't think so. Here's why - we read the manual for setup. If it exists, please share with me when you do, since that would be awesome!!!!
After now seeing 3 people lose their houses due to lipo fires that kitchen bench scares me...
So I bought one, and for the most part I like it, BUT it's a slow plane. even at full throttle it's got a lot of drag.
It's great in SAFE mode, the flaps are really barely useful, and even in SAFE it lands fast.
In AS3X mode it's a lot more fun but I apparently overstressed the wings in a loop and broke the left wing at the root.
It spiraled in and did even more damage, that I have been able to repair.
My over all opinion of the Micro Draco is it's fine in SAFE, but if you go vertical in AS3X and pull out with the suggested throws, you'll overstress the airframe and damage it.
Don't use the throws in the manual for AS3X, reduce that elevator throw significantly.
Hi, it’s possible to use an external receiver. I saw a couple of free connectors and I am wondering that maybe is possible to use a sbus rx or something similar
The wing span is 4 inches longer than the umx turbo timber evo.
Yeah its the umx Draco.
At least you can assemble the wing without glue.
Hi Brian !
Nice micro plane. I thought about buying a turbo timber evo but with that release... maybe a micro draco? it's more expensive... why should i go for micro draco from a technical and not a "OMFG ITS A DRACO" point of view? :D
just ordered from your site sign ed for military, didn't show up on order
We need turbulence!!!
Hi I have the same Draco and the same NX10 Transmitter. I have the newest update installed on my Transmitter. Will you be making a video showing this set up with the latest update?
I run 4s 450mah in my umx turbo timber and in my umx voodoo can barely tell the weight
What bush plane would you recommend that is a little for beginners but is about 1000mm - 1400mm
Ordered! I was waiting for your link! Can you see if it shows on your end?
I am hesitating between the Spektrum sender NX8 and NX10 (2 channels more as reserve, for whatever), what is your experience so far with the NX10? I most probably will not fly helicopters in the (near) future, I like flying planes.
Everyone, if you need something to brighten your mood a bit, try listening to the the episodes in 0.5 speed. It's f#ck!ng hilarious. You thought the episodes were good before. No joke, try it workout laughing, it's impossible!
Cute. But where's the Micro Price?
I see they have the Draco 800mm full kit with remote and battery. Would you guys recommend that? We just started flying and have 3 400mm mini's.
Oh boy, I would love to see you get it, but this plane is not the EASIEST little plane, fyi. It's not HARD, but it's not as easy as other UMX choices, only because there's a lot more stuff to break (Which also makes it beautiful).
bprc.me/Draco
Thanks for the input Brian I really appreciate it. Looking at the micro combo i don't see safe mode listed, does that mean it dosen't come with the gyro stabaliizer? I see that there are replacement parts so if it does have safe mode I'll probably buy the combo set.
Draco waits silently for his little brother to arrive....
Can you get away with using 4s 750?
Psst its a Wilga, not a Wigla :)
yes, thanks - I've been staying it wrong for so long, I bet I'll keep doing it like a complete moron. Thanks thought!
What do you think to this compared to turbo timber evolution? I need to upgrade from my opm t720 (which is amazing with a spectrum transmitter) i was going to get then turbo timber evo, but something tells me this is better.
Can anyone help with regards to if I can operate this with the Spektrum DX6e? I'd rather not have to spend the extra money for an NX6 if I dont need to.
I'm just getting into planes and am wanting to get a Conscendo 1.5m glider and this 800mm Draco and hopefully a DX6e will happily fly them both.
Any advice would be gratefully received 👍
Hi Brian. Could you please measure the box for me to see how to transport the plane with others on my e-bike? Grtz Steven from The Netherlands.
I just chased my mailman down the road on foot to see if he had mine. He didn’t. Now I have a restraining order against me. Let hope it’s here tomorrow lol..
can you put a 3s 800mah 50c in the micro draco
I just won mine on dads rc waffles, my first win! I HAD a problem with my Aeroscout where I lost control of my Aeroscout and it went straight up. It then went straight down and crashed nose first. same thing with my umx timber x. That survived, but what can I do? I keep losing control. Any tips?
Hi, new to the hobby, will this be bindable to the Spektrum dx6 g2 transmitter?
Thank you
Should be fine, since you're still DSMX capable.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you
i cant but from australia
We would LOVE to work with a hobby shop in Australia where we can point our audience. We've heard from so many of you and know there are lots of amazing RC enthusiasts there. If you have any recommendations for a shop to work with, please let us know!
It's Wilga, not Wigla.
Would have loved one of these....but, I don't have spectrum radio and refuse to pay for a receiver that I have to rip out and replace with another one I have to buy. I have the large draco that was available as pnp. Why do eflite sell some planes with pnp option and others like this that are only bnf. Anyway for spectrum users looks like a lot of fun.
Just get the Radiomaster Zorro with 4 in 1 module. $130. Better than any radio Spektrum has ever produced. Versatility. Price. Ergonomics.
Eflite planes are fantastic. Spektrum TX is overpriced junk.
Sheesh
What is the P51 that you are talking about?
Hmmm... the UMX P-51? I honestly don't remember mentioning it, but the new livery just released, so that's probably what we were talking about...

Hello Bro 😁😁🔝🔝🔝💯💯💯
LOL I guess Horizon's sales on this werent what they thought it should be, and they are making all you CC's push it a second time...I think its vastly superior to the full size model, and well priced, but its not for me.
