Hang a Pratt & Whitney PT6 turboprop on a Wilga that weighs just a bit more than a Beechcraft Bonanza (and was already renowned for short-field performance), and you have one head-turning, fire-breathing beast with an insane climb rate and amazing short field take-offs and landings.

My son just called me to tell me that he just bought a Draco RC plane. He's 26 years old but acting like a giddy kid, and had to give me this link. I'm impressed! I'm looking forward to watching him fly it.

I've never seen a flying monster truck until now. My dad built wooden airplanes in his garage in his spare time. This build is unequivocally historic in nature. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Organize this design and sell it to your fan base. Not a tiny one.

Get some sleep Mike! The World needs you! I'm 63 years old and I used to build and fly balsa RC planes as a passion. My brilliant and beautiful Daughter came to me about a year ago to tell me that she misses those days when I was passionate about something. Her 35th birthday was yesterday. Today, we looked at a DRACO RC plane at COLPAR hobbies in Denver. I wanted to go cheaper, but screw it. I can't take any of this with me, but this is Daddy, Daughter time!

Draco is built on the basis of a Polish airplane PZL 104 Wilga. Wilga is the Polish name of the bird golden oriole. PZL 104 was constructed in 1960, with first flight in 24 April 1962. Three engines were used in the oriole: 1) russian radial AI-14R, 2)Continental O-470 and at the end of production 3) Lycoming IO-720. In 2001, the company PZL became part of the EADS Group (EADS Casa, currently Airbus Military). In 2008 the last aircraft PZL 104MN was produced.

I would love to finish it that fast. Yes it is for X plane. I am traveling to meet with the generous Mike Patey at the end of the month so that I can get all the data I need to make this as realistic as possible. The most difficult aspect is the G3000 which I think If we want to release it this year we will have to settle for a G1000 system and work on the G3000 over time...Great idea for a sermon.

I’m a airline pilot with kazilions of hours flying stupid people that don’t need to fly on their stupid holidays( there are a few I guess that have a genuine reason to travel) watching a stupid auto pilot ( still much smarter than me) steer an admittedly magnificent machine( usually at night) while my life evaporates. I’m more than jealous. All I do in what spare time I do have is sleep. Mike and his brother are super human and should be commanded by the one world government to have at least two thousand children each. Those sort of genes must be spread far and wide if humanity has any chance of survival. I think my job as made me a bitter old prick.
