Thank you, in the 1st grade we had to come up with a brand, that’s when I used the J from my first name and F from my last name to make the JF. Have used it as my initials ever since. Jeff
Nothing like having tge epic crash before the flight! 😂. The upside is you got that out of the way immediately and had a good maiden. Glad you enjoyed the little Draco!
David thank you, I didn't want to do a few quick take offs before doing the maiden, trying to keep it real. I just let it roll to far before going full throttle and up. I like this one and will have fun flying it. Sorry to read about your BIG F14, Jeff
Mark the Big Draco is fun to fly but you have to keep up on the sticks never forgetting how heavy it is. The M Draco is a blast to fly and fun, thank you Jeff
Cliff it's an amazing flyer. I've lost a few SD cards from my Mobius cameras. When I use a Mobius on a plane I'll put a very small piece of tape over the back of the SD card, thank you Jeff
I've now watched a ton of these Micro DRACO YT videos and I'm thinking I like this bird more on the 3S than I do the 4S battery. Good to see this model doing so well with grass Ops as our club only has a grass runway.
Wouldn't it be great to live on a planet , where a guy could actually own one !! ?? Me and my l.h.s. have been passed up twice now , paid for it months ago , and still just watching videos , on it , looks like a great spot you got there nice plane !
CG thank you, I was lucky that the hit missed the prop with the top of the landing gear taking the hit. The tripod tips real easy so that helped, not the first time I've wacked a camera. Jeff
😮. Jeff Whew wee. Got my attention from the start. Shes one tough bird I see. lol. Bad boy handled quite well in the wind. Chuck reported his initial flight was tail heavy with the 3s battery forward. I’ve heard reports of that from others. Might be some of the ones released may needed a slight mechanical adjustment of elevator trim. Had to do some that on other UMX planes myself. I still not got mine out yet. Been a little under the weather since I got back from Perry. Just seasonal allergies kickin a bit early for me this year. I’m ok otherwise.
Brad since I got back from Perry have had a sore throat, running nose and tearing eyes. Been eating Zicam and drinking water. Felt horrible yesterday but a little better today. I had the Spektrum 3s 300 almost all the way forward and it felt perfect. I just used one third of the wing to check CG. Going to be a fun one, thank you Jeff
@@JeffinLowerAlabama Jeff, wow. Sorry to hear you not feeling well. Get plenty of fluids and rest is the key. Hope you get to feeling better. Yeah. I just like the looks of this little Draco. lol.
Hiya Jeff here in uk we are bit behind in having ours yet but hopefully by the end of next week according to the shop I got it from and really chomping at the bit to get it in the air myself and I like that it’s sub 250g means I can fly in my neighbourhood without Karen’s bothering me lol thanks for the video, G🇬🇧
Good luck with yours, real fun flyer, handles taller grass with ease. I've only used the 3s 300 don't have the 4s 300 yet, have spent my RC money until next month. Thank you Jeff
Thanks Jeff I had the UMX Pitts when it came time to replace the all in one unit it was way over priced. I have to say the little UMX Pitts was a great little flier. Looks like this will be a great little bird also.
Nice maiden Jeff! I'm sure everyone will get a good laugh from the first take off attempt 😆 way to knock the bugs out before the first flight😁✌️🤙👍
Jude thank you, just wanted to see how good the paint would hole up, Tough M Draco, Jeff
That is one awesome Brand. That is my Grandfathers cattle brand out here in Idaho.👍🏼 his Name is “Thomas Farrell Jenkins”

@@JeffinLowerAlabama I didn't lose tge Tomcat, I did lose my phantom though
@@davidsnyder238 Darn Sorry for sure
Mini Draco and Go Pro durability test ✔that block. Love this plane and will get mine this week. Great Maiden and no harm done, Enjoyed watching.
Tug thank you, M Draco is a flying tank that is a hoot to fly, Good luck with your maiden, Jeff
@@JeffinLowerAlabama Thanks
Fun stuff, those bugs would drive me crazy though
John thank you, I'll start using No Natz which works great. Fun flyer, Jeff
That second take off was a treat. To be honest it looks more fun than it's big brother.
Mark the Big Draco is fun to fly but you have to keep up on the sticks never forgetting how heavy it is. The M Draco is a blast to fly and fun, thank you Jeff
Looks like HH have another winner, Jeff. Great maiden and interesting footage from the ground based 'B' unit film crew 😁
Gina my ground camera operator quit, need a new one. Just a fun flyer, looking forward to more M Draco fun, thank you Jeff
Nicely done tackling the go pro!
Jerry thank you, hitting the ground camera is a running joke with the Mighty Draco, Jeff
Looks like you'll get a lot of fun with this one Jeff. I did that with a camera once and the SD card popped out ... never found it so lost the video 😂
Cliff it's an amazing flyer. I've lost a few SD cards from my Mobius cameras. When I use a Mobius on a plane I'll put a very small piece of tape over the back of the SD card, thank you Jeff
@@JeffinLowerAlabama That's exactly what I now do 👍
Awesome little bugger! Nice flying buddy! Watch out for that camera!
Adam thank you, I was lucky to get away with that for sure, nice flying and looking Draco, Jeff
I've now watched a ton of these Micro DRACO YT videos and I'm thinking I like this bird more on the 3S than I do the 4S battery.
Good to see this model doing so well with grass Ops as our club only has a grass runway.
Bill right now I only have 2s and 3s 300 batteries. M Draco has a lot of power and long flight times on the 3s. Thank you Jeff
Great maiden jeff, glad the camera and plane survived the first take off....jeff...uk.
I got lucky for sure. Thank you Jeff
Wouldn't it be great to live on a planet , where a guy could actually own one !! ?? Me and my l.h.s. have been passed up twice now , paid for it months ago , and still just watching videos , on it , looks like a great spot you got there nice plane !
Chris we are an AMA RC Club at Liberty Landing. Fun to fly is the Mighty Draco, thank you Jeff
Looks like a fun flier 👍👍👍 JUST HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR 📷 S 😂😂😂
Terry thank you, they keep making fun flying planes. Jeff
Great Maiden Jeff! glad no damage to the plane or camera! Cheers Jeff!
Bill thank you, I expected breakage for sure. Another fun flyer, Jeff
Not a UMX ! LOL 😂🤣cute plane
Kenny thank you, whatever you call the Mighty Draco it's fun to fly and looks amazing with the best landing gear on any of box carry planes, Jeff
Really nice, Jeff. 👍👍👏👏👏
Martin thank you, fun one to fly, really great design, Jeff
Woah!!! That intro was scary lol
GB I let it roll before gunning it and pulling up, just missed it by " that much. Thank you Jeff
OUCH!!! That was a surprise. Glad there was no major damage. Nice looking plane and flight. 👍🏻🙂 Good maiden!
Randy didn't even chip any paint. Fun plane to fly and great to look at, thank you Jeff
Brilliant flights and landings Jeff, glad the Go pro survived. Horizon Hobby done a great job in scaling this down. 👍🏻
Chris Micro Draco is amazing, so light and flies well, we might even say tough. Going to have fun flying this on Mighty flyers days, thank you Jeff
Good thing GoPros are tough! lol Beautiful day and great flying (once you got past the camera). CG
CG thank you, I was lucky that the hit missed the prop with the top of the landing gear taking the hit. The tripod tips real easy so that helped, not the first time I've wacked a camera. Jeff
I can't wait to get the mini draco.
Paul thank you, I like flying it, almost flies like the umx evo Timber. Jeff
nice little plane! good camera work!
Bob thank you, need a new ground camera operator, old one quit. Fun plane to fly, Jeff
A fine Toy indeed!
Jono thank you, another fun flying plane, that's LA Tough, Jeff
Howdy! Good flight!
Rick thank you, fun one to fly, going to have fun with it, Jeff
Take off! Ok, ignore that…. Take off take 2 is a success! Great footage and flight. Keep the good stuff coming!
Mike well I messed up for sure on the first one. A real nice flying Mighty Draco, it looks great even in the hangar. Thank you Jeff
That’s not a mess up. You were just a shade too optimistic. 😁

Looks like it is gonna be a Jeff favorite!😊
Michael thank you, a lot of fun in this M Draco will be enjoyed for sure, Jeff
After watching this, I am pumped to fly mine ASAP! Where did you place the battery exactly?
GB thank you, had the Spektrum 3s 300 almost all the way forward. Think it has a wide CG range, fun to fly, Jeff
awesome video!
Collin thank you, going to have some fun flying the Mighty Draco, Jeff

Jim thank you, I kind of felt like Wile E. Coyote, fun plane going to be fun flying it more, Jeff
Way to go Jeff... Warts and all... LOL... Fly's great don't it...
Thank you, I like the Mighty Draco more with each flight, Jeff
Nice flights Jeff does this one have the linear servos ?
Rhipp thank you, yes it does have linear servos. This is a fun flying M Draco that just looks amazing in the air or in the hangar, Jeff
Thanks Jeff I had the UMX Pitts when it came time to replace the all in one unit it was way over priced. I have to say the little UMX Pitts was a great little flier. Looks like this will be a great little bird also.
will it knife edge Jeff?
Randy I didn't even think of doing a knife edge but I'm sure M Draco can do it. Adam did a few knife edges, thank you Jeff
