Eflite - Draco - 2.0m - Formation Flight & CRASH!?!?! 

Can we all appreciate that Brian replied to every comment!👍🏼

😳🤭😢 I was worried about the reverse too soon. Those are such beautiful planes, I must order one even though I’m a beginner pilot. The Draco could just sit in my living room as decoration until I’m confident enough with my carbon cub.

So much fun. Brian's excitement is obviously contagious. I can tell he really enjoys having a cornhole crashing partner 😂 Great video 👍

The Draco is one of my favorite planes. What an awesome video! Camera crew did a Great job videoing 2 planes... just outstanding!

What a beautiful sunset, it looks like an LED lamp…

Brilliant!! Those plane silhouettes across that big ol’ setting sun,.. just fantastic. Another great vid! Well done guys, great fly’n 😉👍🏼

Great formation flying guys with the best camera crew, oh bummer landing Zane it happens to all of us 😉👍🛩🛩

WOW AWESOME job by all. camera crew great job some of those shots where so realistic and awesome. Brain and Zane great job staying close in some of those shot and it sounded like you guys had a blast sorry for the crash at the end you all did a great job...

Awesome formation flight guys. Looks like Zane may have hit his thrust reverse a second too soon. Didn't look like his mains were on the deck! I honestly believe that camera crew is one of the best out there. Consistently stabile, focused and impeccable timing!

Hi Brian, Hunter ("ICEMAN") and I ("BOMBER") watched the formation flight of "DRAGOS." Beautiful until the end. What a shame. Knowing you and watching you repair other planes, I know you probably had it repaired in no time and up in the air the next day. RICKEY PHILLIPS (BOMBER)

Fun video! Excellent work by the camera crew!!

Zane trying to hot rod that reverse! Haha you gota at least let the plane settle before you jump on reversing! Hilarious

I'm dealing with HH customer service today as a matter of fact, f18 hornet came in with a bad elevator servo and long story short they are sending a new plane out tomorrow so ya customer service is top notch there.

Wow you got to watch that reversing and it pitching the nose down. Tough break. I been flying mine on 3200 6s because thats all I had, but I got 2. 6 s 5000 batteries in the mail literally today. I'm going to fly mine! Like everyone who got one, I Iove this plane.Thanks Brian.

Amazing, seems like a couple of weeks ago You had a metre of snow an now Your all bronzed and soaking in Our Lords warm sunshine ripping it up. Awesome show, young Bloke held His own, aside from the last minute nose dive. Great show, crystal clear footage too. Unreal stuff.

😲The crash 🥲I just started flying two days before Christmas of 2021 with the Unc turbo timber. I made a little upgrade to the carbon a Cessna 150t on 5000mah 4 cell 100c battery. I have mostly flown on safe minus the two times I didn’t wait see the Servos dance twice😬. Anyways, sorry for the crash, y’all looked sweet together in the air! Thanks for your channel as well! You have help build my confidence with rc planes. Draco is next

On the weekend I was about to buy one used but I was too slow. But I think I´ll get one, great video! I hadn´t see this before, just your unboxing with that garden crash :S. Sorry for that final landing. He was coming very stable but somehow that reverso dropped the nose down :/ Thanks for your great videos! Next time catch the mouse :)

Fun flying, good camera work. The crash didn't look too bad, even the prop looked intact from this angle. Looking at the footage at slow speed, you can see that after flaring, there was a little dip down again, and combined with the rough grass, it dug in. We've all been there and done that. Hey, it wouldn't be a Draco if it didn't crash now and then.

What a beautiful sunset, it looks like a LED lamp… Of course I watch the video for the flights…

Bloody gophers....that’s my story and I’m sticking to it......Best RC videos....Best camera work on RU-vid...great job guys.

Brian.Awesome formation flying. Zane makes a cool wing man. Looks like just a bit premature prop reverse. Oh my. I’m sure it’ll be back up in no time. Just got back from Pilot Ryan event in Mulberry, FL. They had a gaggle of Dracos there flying. Beautiful scale plane. Looks like the main gear is the weak point on this plane. I assisted Ryan on fixing his Draco. Luckily we had a nice fella that had spare parts he donated to Ryan to keep him flying. I’m sure there will be future updates or mods to help mitigate that issue. 👍👍

That was fun, again build, fly, fix, fly and repeat...

Now you done it! I gots the Draco envy bad!

What a shame....such great flight too! I know you will fix her real good. Well done Brian & Zane.

That plane is very brilliant and nice flying. With its short distance takeoff/landing and reverse capabilities. Its awesome. I've seen the real plane on a RU-vid video and that RC counterpart handles exactly like real plane. You're pretty good playing with them things. Must be all the times playing with the simulator. 😁👍

That was fun to watch especially when y'all were flying the bowl Dang hated to see Zane bit the dust on the last landing Looked like he hit reverse a bit to early Bet he doesn't do that again lol Other than that he did great and he learned a lesson only lost a prop hell that's a good day Great job guys and a big thanks to Camera Crew for putting up with y'all hehe and doing a great job as always 🔥👍✌️

that happened to a C-130 they were testing for the Iran hostage rescue attempt...but with reverse JATO's and more catastrophic results.

From a distance they look like predators surveying the ground below. Awesome video. Just getting my son into rc he’s 6. He still prefers smash up derby driving so I havnt put a flight controller into his hands yet. 😂

and now introducingggggggggggg THE DRACO KILLING ZONE!!!!!!!!!!

Love your videos and I love the Draco just order mine, BUT freight man $300.00 dollars to ship from the north island to the south ( NZ ) lucky its a small country, as you always know someone, shipped for $25.00 but have to wait for two weeks can't wait to get mine keep it UP and you vids cheers for all

I love how you can fly right out of your front door. Keep it up Brian

You guys crushed it with this video. Made me want to go out and fly mine! I think the 4 thumbs down are just jealous! Zane, buddy, don't sweat it. You're a great pilot, Caca Pasa.

I swear in some shots it looks like a couple of buzzards circling around some prey on the ground!

Cool. Good job

What a cool plane

Wow I hope not bad damage nice formation flight 👍

Fly, crash, repair. But much harder to swallow with such a beautiful plane.

Not to worry, that looks like a job for some foam tac or foam safe hobby glue. Still some great flying nonetheless. It looks like the prop survived that, and if it did, that’s one high quality and durable prop.

nice job guys

Since this is a flight video, I turned the sound off and watched it on my TV. Credit to the "camera man". This comment is for her. Great job keeping the two planes in view, especially as they separated! Do you use the two thumb approach to quickly react and keep them in zoom? Thanks for capturing his adventures!!

Brian, other videos of yours suggest you’re partial to aerobatics and daring low passes. The Draco is a plane to push some boundaries with, to try some new tricks. Recall that it was conceived and designed as the ultimate STOL bush plane, and intended to dominate the STOL competitions. My Draco is on order and when it comes I’ll be putting down a chalk line and getting a judge to mark my takeoff and landing distance. If I had a buddy, as you do, with a Draco, that’s what we’d focus on. I noticed your last landing was WAY FAST and you used reverse. Zane’s was WAY STEEP and nose low, and he used reverse while still airborne. The Wilga, and the Draco are intended to be landed High Alpha when the shortest possible landing is desired. Sure, you can flip it to reverse when you are down to shorten the roll, but to land High Alpha, keep the power in and the nose way high! I’ve been doing in in RF 9.5 with the Draco Safe + Reverse available on the forum and it works. You can get some amazing short landings with that approach. One more thing about the sim though, its treatment of reverse prop while airborne is totally unrealistic. You an flip to reverse and hit it when about 20 inches AGL and make a good landing with no ground roll. As you know from hitting reverse while airborne, (of course you’d do that...), as soon as you do the nose pitches down sharply. Maybe Zane got fooled by using the Sim. He proved what I suspected, you can’t get away with that on the model, or a full sized aircraft. This little video was excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. Camera Crew, you shine! Excellent work behind that lens. Great job of keeping all that action in view. I love your videos for entertainment and instruction, my wife just comes for the laughs! Keep it up.

thats badass!

That's soo awesome!!

Great job.

I definitely think you shouldn’t hit the reverse before touching down, unless you start high and make a very steep descent. I learned that lesson on the Night Timber X. Better case scenario than with Draco.😌 Great formation flight.👊🏻

In alaska I was landing kingair 100s on a dirt 2500 or less foot runway. We would throw it in reverse at 50 feet and it would not go nearly that bad. Every video Ive seen on draco reversing in the air has ended mega bad. I wonder why.

I wish I had a flying partner like you foreal . 🗣💪💯

Reversing thrust before wheels touch down is just asking for it. Im surprised the first landings also didn’t end like that.

ho yes Brian ! you just make my day ! hope they don't get to much damages ! that's was so nice to see the blues brothers in the sky ! thanks for that moment ! ✈✈✈💤💙👍

Woo Hoo, a video by BP under an hour long!

Ok Brian this was cool. Good job camera crew video looks good. Just a question Brian I was looking for your video in reference to your battery charging system. What's the date on it. I'm just getting started in rc stuff and know nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Fun video. You can't hit that reverse before rolling a little. Big problems if you do

Another great video. Brian, gotta ask Im having trouble finding anyone who really can tell me about the back order. If I order one through Horizon about how far out would I be looking before I it arrives? I was hoping you might have some inside info on the situation. Otherwise, I did find one a PNP (no battery) New of course but by the time I add the Lipo and charger the price goes much higher. Or maybe I should just bite the bullet ??? your thoughts?

Nice! I’d love to fly with you Brian 😉. Depending on where you live? How’s the Starlink WiFi 😁? Poor poor draco. 😢that crash... that’s gotta suck. Hope it gets fixed!!

Will you ever think about doing a review on the Flite Test Freedomfox? Just curious.

That is so cool

Can you tell me what is the best Spectrum RC for the Draco or is the Spectrum RC DXS good enough ?

Fantastic flying and camera work. Kindly share the camera and lens your lovely supportive partner used to film this video. Thanks.

I was waiting for a mid air crash. Sorry about that. Was still a great video

i don't think i ever cringed so hard in my life on that crash

Now you got a new video to make ( a fix the plane video )

Brian, on another note, you’ve mentioned many times in your videos about having your son fly some of these planes so I was curious what age he is? Also I wanted to ask you, when you first started flying planes did you use a simulator and if so, did you use it a lot until you felt confident, or hardly at all or none or...? Lol looking forward to your reply

good stuff...which utuber will be first to fly Draco FPV ?

WOW

OMG I have to have one

Second crash video I’ve seen of Draco, it seems to be a trend now - I’m still waiting for mine to arrive, I won’t be crashing mine, shipped here cost as much as a small car.. oh and I blame Spektrum

would this be a good first planen ?, i fly jets in dcs flight sim, i know its not the same but its flying....

Y’all need a 3rd Draco there for a Delta formation! *cough cough* 😂.

Epic video 🤩 love it!!!! Zane took off on a date with Mrs Gorilla Glue 😂...love it! love it! love it! U guys are epic!!! Zane Big up!!!

If you just want to see the crash skip to 13:20.

Oh dear bumpy ground ..

Flair !

Great formation guys 👍🏻did he reverse too early?

My first car was a '78 Ford Faimont Futura that I paid $200 bucks for so yeah, this plane is three times that much LOL. I don't care. I still want one! :)

Yeah I'll stick with NOT using the reverse thrust when I get mine lol....

If you fly sometimes you crash there is no other way. That looks fixable how bad is it?

I hope it goes back together for ya. I'd be sick much like the time the wiend took away my lil turbo Timber. 🤑

Wow that sucks! Hopefully the damage is minimum.

these planes are not that great. however they are cool and have some really cool features. They are a bit goofy to land mainly because they are heavy. over hyped and a little over priced but i still like it.

How do you NOT lose track of which one you're flying?

I feel so bad for him.

👍

Oh no! Reverse a bit early.

Flying two similar planes, doesn’t create confusion?

That did not qualify as a real crash. I was hoping for a nice mid air collision.

What broke off?

How did us afford that??? Its like 700 quid

Ups,

Flying two similar planes, you don’t get confused?

for the price, i can paint my turbo timber red

I like your videos ^^ 13:25 :/

When he reversed it just before flare I cringed so hard 😂

Flying is kind of like losing ones virginity.. Always better to do it others than to solo

Reverse on this plane and any STOL plane is ridiculous and not needed. Seems like another gimmick for people to buy this expensive plane. I understand all the hype about the super detail but you don't see most of it while flying and it's not like I'm putting it in my front house window for display. Great detail at a great cost and they're starting to find many problems with it already.

wilga

crashes dont matter when you gots plenty $$$$

Ohhh Brian, Yeah @ 9:25 You Say They're Real Expensive Butt You Got Yours For FREE! Now I Understand Why You Are Soo Giddy In All Your Videos Since All Your Planes Are FREE Now For Like The Past Year+!? 🤣

He calls his wife "camera crew", how obnoxious.
