E-FLITE MICRO DRACO - MAIDEN FLIGHT 3S VS 4S! 

I only have a couple of flights on my Draco, so everything I say can’t be set in stone. However, the UMX TTE is much more of a performer than this plane. It is much lighter and more maneuverable. I really do enjoy flying the Draco though, just because of how pretty it is.

They didn't make it 4s for no reason. What other plane do you know of that size that needs that much power. Although I'm thinking about ordering the draco power train to put in one of my beater tte to see what it does. Not that it needs it.. tte is gotta be the best micro ever. I didn't care much for the pilatus look tho. I do like the look of the timber x but don't care for its performance. So I ordered an entire og timber air frame and put the tte electronics/ hardware in it with the updated tte horizontal stab. Just trying to decide what graphics to put on it

Why don't you just go 4S in the TTE? The performance is insane, and the motor and esc seem to hold up to it, even with the stock three blade prop.

@davescott9409 I saw some videos of someone flying it 4s but wasn't sure if it was stock. Guess I'll have to try it

Awesome! I’m normally one of the judges for when our field holds the competitions!

Thank you! If you are looking for a STOL plane of this size, I honestly do not see the Draco fit for the job. The UMX TTE is undoubtedly a better performer, but honestly it is hard to compare the two. The Draco although marketed as a STOL aircraft is too heavy for that and doesn’t take to slow flight very well, and doesn’t slow down fast enough. The Timber is pretty light weight, and does all the maneuvers the Draco can do and more. You can also fly the Timber in some spots that the Draco struggles in. For example, I often fly my Timber in my culdesac. I have been experimenting with flying the Draco in the same spot, but because it is larger and heavier it keeps you on the sticks all the time. After a couple flights of culdesac flying the Draco, I have also found that it you really can’t do aerobatics with it in enclosed areas. I still really like the Draco though. If you are interested in a model that takes pure performance and can also fly in tight spots, the UMX TTE is the way to go. If you have a larger area and don’t really care for all the aerobatic stuff, the Draco is a really nice airplane for that!

Nice!

Sorry, it's not a Fatuba!

Hi! In my opinion, the Draco and the UMX Turbo Timber EVO are two completely different planes. The UMX TTE can be way more aggressive if you want it to, or it can also be docile and forgiving. I think the Turbo Timber EVO is a good upgrade from the original Turbo Timber. The DRACO takes a bit more experience to fly, due to its tendencies to stall more often than not, as opposed to a TTE. The DRACO is less aerobatically capable and needs a wider flying area to stretch its legs. Ultimately, I enjoy both the same, but for different reasons. If you are limited on space and want to upgrade from your original Timber, I would definitely go for the UMX TTE. If you are a seasoned pilot and don’t really mind the less sporty airframe with a larger flying area, the DRACO is a good contender. It also gets bonus points for looks!

@@JonsRC Thx Jon for your answer, I highly appreciate it! Alway a joy watching you fly besides all the gunshots in the background. I take your advice in consideration, so difficult to choose some times.

Hi! I have a couple 4S 450s, but the size difference seems too great for it to handle correctly in the air.. It will make it heavier than it already is, and I’m sure they will barely fit too. Happy flying!

Thank you very much for your answer. I wish you a nice day! Greetings from Austria

Own one.

Too big for some people in terms of space, this is perfect.

@@gpaje No problem. Yes it is Very Big. Lucky I have a very large 1200 Sq ft 2 bedroom House ,garage and an Full Size Airport Hanger where I keep my 40 Foot Wingspan, Flying Boat. Hobsession.
