- This is one of the, if not the BEST RC PLANE of 2021! E-Flite DRACO 2.0m. Today we take it out for its maiden flight and do a full review of the beautiful Draco from Horizon Hobby.
The E-flite Draco is a high wing, STOL Bush plane, perfect for short take offs and landings. The E-Flite Draco is one of the most highly detailed RC planes on the market today that's available from Horizon Hobby. There are so many awesome features like king shocks, 17 LED lights, reverse thrust and so much more! We did a full unboxing, build and overviw on the Eflite Draco so be sure to check that out!

**Correction** A few of our lovely viewers/subscribers pointed out that the level flight for 3 seconds at 80-100% is to optimise AS3X after changing the trim setting. Therefore the uncommanded deflection of the ailerons was likely due to radio interference. Thank you so much for pointing that out for us! 😁🍻
i love how you guys added so many different cameras on the plane, usually youtubers dont go through all of the trouble but its definitely worth it
Great footage! Can you describe the camera setup and a link to the cameras? Cheers
Really enjoyed your video with a coffee and a piece of toast and what a great plane the Draco is. Well done.
Hey guys. I found your channel recently and have started to watch more and more. I find your channel holds my attention. I watched this one because I have been interested in this plane even though I am a rookie to RC. I have to point out I enjoy all your camera views as it puts me in the left seat reminding me of my brief stint flying the real planes. I hope to see more new videos soon. A big salute from Texas USA.
Thanks guys looks great . Great flying Joe
Awesome video! I'd say it flys as sweet as it looks. Great job and keep it up!
Wow can you imagine how much fun the full size one was to fly. I have to admit when it was glitching my heart was in my mouth, but you sussed it and let it re-configure job done, I have to say well impressed with it's abilities the short take off and landing makes it ideal for where I do most of my flying, so normally would not consider it but man just the look is something else, nice flight look forward to seeing it again when Amber has a go.
Cheers mate! WIll get her on it soon once shes confident with the T-28! 😁🍻
Thank for all the information on the Draco, just bought one getting ready to fly
Wow! What a plane great video guys 👍🏻
excellent review, your background clearly gives you an edge in rc aircraft reviews 👍
Great video guys. The plane looks epic.
Thank you David! 🍻
Awesome job! Love the cockpit video!!!
Wow epic flight joe..and the camera shots ..it was like I was in the plane looking out the window...EPIC...
Cheers Robert! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that was great maiden flight🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have two Draco's cause of your videos and all the people that you convinced , TY
Hi just found your youtube vid great to see. As I'm just looking that getting the draco, I'm in Ashburton just down the road good name to love it. keep it up
Brilliant. I watched you in the monster trucks, so happy you do RC planes. I've moved to the dark side , now have timber X , carbon cub s2, szd 54 glider and a cheap eBay purchase I'm doing up. Nice to see you both again. Give Amber a hug.
The Kiwis will always do it right. Your channel is going to explode.
Awesome vid kids!! Wow, what a plane! Great timing on that landing. The absolute trick for soldering, keep on soldering, lol. Yup, keep on keeping on. No amount of tutorials will give you the actual experience, just gotta melt the rod....
You guys sure know how to make an engaging video. Keep up the great work and thanks for this one!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! 🍻
I want my head track FPV setup on this omg. I built an FPV Aeroscout, but this plane is gorgeous.
is the plane just that good those landings looked perfect , or is it your flying capabilities joe . Very exciting video , loved it . the cockpit footage is awesome
I definitely plan on getting a Draco soon, and I really hope they make a Scrappy!
Bloody awesome guys, as a Kiwi in Waikato, great to see something relevant.
Done 10 + years i RC Crawlers, want to get airborne.
Might have to catch up, getting a "Late 50's dude", in the air.
I'm going to get my E-flite Draco October 1st I can't wait
Epic video guys!! Love the idea of RC bush planes.
Fly the Durafly Tundra myself (Wouldn't have the room for the Draco myself lol) and absolutely love the thing.
So very true with what Joe said, There are Model aircraft for speed, manoeuvrability and others just to trolling around the sky at a super slow pace, practising very short take offs and even shorter landings. Epic!!
How far this hobby has come in the last 10 years alone is awesome!!!
Happy landings!!
I had the Durafly Tundra too! Loved it! Sadly I lost it in the middle of a lake in Hong Kong, when I went to get in the water to swim out and get it, a King Cobra came out from beneath a rock.... So never saw that plane again... 😂
@@TheRcKiwis wow!! sounds like the King Cobra wanted that Tundra more lol.
Shame you lost it..then again the Draco is many levels above the Tundra in every way!
Nice video. It's good to see you enjoying the plane. Some of our club members have the Draco and really like it.
Cheers mate! Sure is a nice plane to fly!
Thanks for sharing. Can you please tell me the diameter of the main wheels. Perhaps i can use them for my RC SCRAPPY build project. Appreciate your support😃
Very nice video. So true what you say about perspective between flying smaller and larger planes. I've made a couple of "tree" landings learning that lesson.
Wish HH would come out with a smaller scale and less expensive Draco. I know it would have to have less detail and less features but I'd still want one as long as the flying experience was similar.
Cheers Bill! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🍻
👍 love the FPV.
Outstanding shipmates. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983.
Great video, thinking of buying one of these. I’m in Christchurch for a few weeks, is that the place next to Yaldhurst Road where I would be able to fly?
I use rosin core with flux makes very solid connections, I love the Draco so easy to pilot it's true bigger planes fly better great video guy's 😉👍🛩
Cheers Tim!! 🍻
Just to follow up on what Tim said, get a little container of flux goop, it's super useful. I also use flux pens for work with surface-mounted components. In short, flux is the key!
The Draco is awesome Nice maiden mate 🔥👍✌️
Thank you! 🍻
What a plane!!
Well you certainly know your flaps from your ailerons...you could have been a pilot.
😅🍻
Awesome Video guys!!, I think Joe and I have similar story's for soldering lol, the way it flew through the air looked so good and I can definitely see why this is one of your most enjoyable/favorite planes. Keep it up guys! :)
Cheers Kahn! The Draco sure is a lot of fun! As soon as the weather clears up here Ill be back out with it! 🍻
@@TheRcKiwis oh awesome! It looks like so much fun, I bet that you'd want to get out as soon as you can!
wowww thats so amzing whanau
Cheers Peter!! Changed your name I see! 😁🍻
@@TheRcKiwis i got hacked whanau..on my facebook loll unbelivable loll
Beautiful plane. Still wish Horizon would come out with smaller versions of this model like they have for their other ones!
Good job guys! I need to fly mine again soon
Thank you! Yes, after watching the video makes me want to go out right now with it! 😁🍻
How about the Turbo Timber Evolution? How does it fly compared to this one?
Hi from the UK !! What camera do you use on the Draco - the orange ones ?
I was hoping to see it fly in ferrymead :)
I'm not really in to RC planes, but your enthusiasm made this vid worth watching :)
PS nice views of NPW
If your struggling with soildering and you have a good iron then it’s probably unleaded solider your using and is impossible to work with, try leaded soilder I use the tbs brand and it works great.
Thank you! 🍻
Absolutely find some leaded solder, and use good ventilation (but DONT blow a fan across your soldering work or iron, it will screw with your heats)
Lead with a 63/37 content.
What camera are you using in the Draco?
Great video guys wonder if they will make a kit to turn that into a seaplane or do they make RC seaplanes so you can land and take off on pond or calm water way IDK why that thing just reminded me of one
I'm sure you could mod it out abit to get it some floats on it! (maybe a video idea...🤔) 😅🍻
13:50... AS3X Initializes on the ground and won't let you fly without initializing. You speak of the comment in the manual regarding trims. When trimming, you need to wait about 3 seconds after a trim on any AS3X plane.
Yes, thank you for clearing that up! It must have been some sort of interference. We have removed that part of the video! 🍻
Would you use a 6000 battery on the DARCO?
Hi could you guys please tell us what cameras are used. Orange are Runcams ? What about the forward pointing camera ?
Hey, yes running x2 RunCams and x1 insta go 2. Cheers!
Nice and crispy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍. Bro. I love that saying. Nice and crispy 😂😂😂😂. I say that occasionally. Heck ya
5:31 that sounded like a voice over in a star wars spaceship 😆

I seen my 1st 1,in person Saturday. (Was asked if i wanted to fly it. NO!!! Cause then id have to get 1!)
I strongly suspect that if you tried the E-flite Viper 70mm or better yet the 90mm DF, you would change you mind about 'the best'.
I use too work for 🦊 manufacturing in fortsmith we made gas powered engines that were nitro ethane and alcohol alcohol powered
I can’t solder properly either mate..
All good.
best? no way. I guess im going to have to start doing real reviews on these RC planes . stay tuned.
Here we go.
Only here for Amber!❤

That is a cool plane.. I don’t dare try flying. I feel like I would crash pretty early on.
They have safe
Did you adjust your cg?
No, kept it as per the manual
Dunno what was going on just after take off there but U where definitely getting un commanded inputs on your controls it wasn't as3x I'd say some sort of interference I fly spektrum ix12 religiously and have no issues
Regardless, should still fly level at 80-100% for 3seconds as per the manual, after we did that it wasn't playing up anymore but could have been a coincidence. You may be right, I also thought it may have been RF interference. Need the flight data recorder 😅🍻
@@TheRcKiwis yeah the fly level for 3 seconds thing is only if U have made a trim change it wasn't that that's for sure
@@TheRcKiwis I have this plane man when did u fly it I haven't been flying for a few days because there is solar storms atm from the sun and I know that can play havoc with our rc stuff
@@gavinwilkins5466 thanks for sharing! So must have been interference then 🍻
@@gavinwilkins5466 Flew it last week on Friday, went through 10 packs in total 😁 I do think they put up a new 5G tower near where we fly, it may have been that interfering possibly? Might have to change locations
Did she say "one of the BEAST"!!??
FIRST!!! Love u guys!!!!!
Legend!
Yea sir.
I thought she was saying it’s the beast plane 😂and then they went to the ear field
If I was you guys I would title these videos as just flying it rather than a review, just due to the lack of experience and lack of knowledge of other planes. otherwise good video!
Dito in the solder bro
I can’t figure out how y’all fly anything without FPV
it sound like jet
I really Love Mine. Yes the Maiden flight is when only 1/2 Nervous ? Personally I do the Sign of the Cross and Bless the ship. Can pop mine off the runway in 2 feet, round the field and set it down in 15.'. SAFE MODE ??????? Come on . Shut that off. Fly the Bird, Set her Down full flaps and hit switch "A" and reverse to back up. out of the 530 R/C Planes in my Squadron. Love it.
Enjoy the Bird. Great STOL. Arrgh. AKA: Captain Morgan. USA...Enjoy ....
I tried the thrust reverse 12' off the ground. Don't.
🤣🤣🤣 sorry I laughed at thit one... I hope your plane was ok!
If Joe said a rc plane is good, that's good, caz he's a pilot.😉
You know it! 😉🍻
fly it in full throttle and take it to the clouds please
Do not use lead free solder, get 60/40 tin/lead. a little flux wouldn't hurt.
Cheers Mike! Going to hardware store now with this info 😅🍻
@@TheRcKiwis I saw the video today, I'm glad it helped! Also don't buy solder from the plumbing isle, get it from an electronics supplier or online and make sure it's for electrical, not plumbing.
Now put i-nav on it with a gps, 6,000 Mah Li-ion and send it
Anyone i know that has one hats it. Handling is bad at low speeds the one people that like it are the people selling it!!
Definitely not the coolest plane of 2021 but cool looking not for me but does have amazing details on it.
For us it is! But Im a sucker for detail!
@@TheRcKiwis what other planes do you have?
I heard Soulja boy made this plane.
Seems that only the reviewers got the better built one and the rest are poorly assembled. sounds about right now a days
Not sure why everyone made such a big deal about this plane when it came out. It has to be the worst looking plane and extremely over priced! It's only good for crashing...
Irritating commentary
