Eflite - Draco - 2.0m - Tail Dragger Repair C/O RTL Fasteners 

LOL- Great idea!

Awesome! Thank you!

LOL - Exactly!!!

Thanks for watching! I agree! Spare hardware is spare for long around here - LOL ;)

Right on - So far I'm very impressed!

NICE!!!! Ball link pliers - Maybe I can get Horizon Hobby to send me some??? It would make many people's day - LOL!

Thanks Bendrix! Glad you did, and totally agree about the tail dragger, Except if you saw in my maidens, I was REALLY pushing it (backward, uphill, in the dark - this one was MY fault - LOL). P.S. Horizon Hobby didn't even ask, they shipped the new part asap.

I think it was the first size I grabbed...sorry E.A. M3 20?

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you.

WHAT??!?!? No way...I totally did, even when I took her out to "taxi" test it in the unbox, build, radio setup...

I must have miss spoke - sorry Romin!!!

LOL - Thanks! Welcome, and the T-28 1.1m bit.ly/3eOh9Lk is a GREAT choice!!!

Hey brian my friend is getting the eflite corsair 1.2m or the p-47 1.2m which one should he get? The retractable landing gear on the Corsair look amazing though. But the P 47 has missiles and bombs he can’t decide. he’s getting it today sometime so respond quickly please!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'd be calling up HH on this.

Me too!

Paul, that's terrible! Can you call Horizon Hobby and have them walk you through it???

I would run her stock until she breaks...maybe yours will never break

Brian what are your thoughts using the Bob Smith Industries foam cure in the blue bottle? Its says flexible on the label and has me second guessing if that would even work well for this application?

First off, sorry for my slow reply James! I tired about 4 days ago or so, but my web browser has a new bad habit of blocking my access to reply to a comment after it fails to ever publish one I just typed out (it shows a spinny-circle think, like it's loading my reply, but never does...). I suspect you have a broken Carbon Fiber landing gear thingy...sorry, I don't know what it's called ( bit.ly/3qdfkeA ), thus allowing this excessive TOE OUT. This will definitely flip you Draco every time you go to taxi. I'd hit up HH about this, and see if they'll help you out. I don't know the circumstances of your situation, but this is a premium plane, and I would expect premium quality.

I feel like this will be the third time I've replied... Both ;) F4U Corsair bit.ly/30TcMX3 P47 bit.ly/3rYD9Xi

Sorry he got the p-47 razorback and he flew it and the trim was set wrong And full down elivator and it would still be nose up about 20 degrees and was almost tip stalling! Finally 😬 we safely landed in a rush

Thank you!

@@BrianPhillipsRC Welcome

Metric Kit - 743 Standard Kit - 9155

Not sure why you're having so many issues. I didn't have any of these issues...BUT I did break my wheel off.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Sorry to say that things have gotten worse. While landing, the left flap servo malfunctioned and lifted up causing the plane to roll left. I was about 6 ft. off the ground. I had a GoPro Hero 7 mounted in the passenger seat area looking out the right window. The GoPro telemetry showed that I had a ground speed of 18-20 MPH. I was flying into a 5-10 MPH head wind. I applied full right aileron and increased throttle, but the wing tip stalled and the plane cart rolled into the ground. I've since seen other RU-vid videos with flap servos twitching up and down.

Cool! Thanks JCB 67

They're in the drawer in the kitchen still - LOL!

I'm sorry shipping is bad!!! I hate when that happens... Thanks for being here with us WRXS ;)

AWESOME!

The foam safe CA and kicker that i use will turn white too! I hate it.....I use the purple and white bottle I forget who it's from maybe Great plains I'm not sure but a lot of the stuff I work on will have that white residue also when I use kicker ....you actually have to use kicker with this brand of ca for it to actually cure properly but yeah I hate the way that it dries up. For parts that no one's really going to see and where I need a lot of strength I will actually use gorilla glue super glue and baking soda I have not had one part break that I've done that too crazy awesome gets hard instantly

Thanks for the tip! And Agreed about the white residue.

Mike - It's called "BSI" or Bob Smith Industries ;)

Just replied to another of your comments.

We'll have more too ;)

I'd love an ix20, but not sure when that'll happen.

Yep overpriced crap

Richard Webb - There's a TON of pieces in these two kits. Have you priced hardware lately for ANYTHING else....it's ALL crazy. Prices are ALL going through the roof.

Garage928 - Why do you say it's crap? I can see an opinion about being overpriced, but you say "crap" - why??? You ever buy a single bolt at Menards, or Home Depot, or Lowes??? It's like $2 for a bolt... If you buy a small 2 lbs box, it's like $10 nowadays. These bolts are not free, that's for sure, but you're acting like it's a ripoff...I totally disagree. Have you ever bought ONE bolt from the HOBBY SHOP?!?!? You need a second mortgage for that bolt!

@@BrianPhillipsRC it would be fine if building kits all the time,not good for foam market

LOL - It works every time it's tried!!!

I'll take your word for it. If it's breaking a lot, I bet Horizon Hobby will be talking to me about it soon....

I haven't noticed any issue. There are plenty of issues people have found about the Draco, but I love it. Amazing plane, and very nice. I wish they were all this nice, but it's also very expensive. I want a scale commercial airliner like this plane ;)

rtlfasteners dot com. Press search button and type the kit numbers brian showed. 9155 for standard (Fastener Kit #9155 With 2 Organizers + 100 Servo Screws) 743 for metric (Metric Hardware Kit #743 with 2 Organizers).

Sorry for the confusion Gilbert! I know it's not quite as slick as the Horizon Hobby links - they're a WAY bigger and more refined company, than this smaller RTL Fasteners. First, click on this link here >>> www.rtlfasteners.com/

Are you trying to make a living, or enjoy what you've worked for most of your life?

@@BrianPhillipsRC enjoy what I worked for I’m 50 a guy needs a hobby also

I agree!!! You read my mind Jay!

Thank YOU!

They were outnumbering us, but we finally gave away a bunch this weekend...it was sad, but necessary. We're down to 6 cats ;(....

Awesome, thank you stuff! They've saved my bacon 4 times already!!! I've fixed my F-16 3X and this Draco, thankfully only once! That's in a month ;) Great tool to have sitting there, since it doesn't take up hardly any space, but works well when you need it, and nicer than stock parts are always a plus! Thanks for using the coupon code, BTW. They can, and DO see that you're buying "from us" - we appreciate you doing this!

LOL ...too expensive ;) ...smaller, and more frequent...

I'm sorry for the confusion. I thought it was a backup light, but it's actually just that the LIGHT control channel was tied to that particular switch. I later changed it to the knob on the top of my DX8...which gave me full control of the lights, independent of the thrust reversing ;)

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I LOVE the Draco ;) I agree the tail dragger could have been a bit more robust.

I'm amazed to hear you say that, as I've seen arguably a lot of recent planes (hundreds), and I feel that the ONLY thing "wrong" with the Draco is that it's heavy....but I LOVE the way it flies, and LOVE the shocks. Sorry you feel this way. I think I need to Rx you more flying time with the Draco ;) LOL!!!

@@BrianPhillipsRC I know my way around suspension and the design is great, the actual quality of the shock is terribly cheap is what im saying. Maybe thats a better way to say it.

Thanks and Welcome Mother Russia ;)
