Spinner for Draco 2.0m (EFL12567)

By most estimates, planning and building the full-size DRACO should have taken years. Entrepreneur Mike Patey accomplished it in just over five months. Mike started with a Wilga 2000, replacing its Lycoming O-540 piston engine with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop boasting about twice the power at half the weight. Many additional modifications followed before Mike proudly unveiled his "ultimate bush plane." It could go to the same places as a Carbon Cub, but also climb twice as fast; reach altitudes up to 28,000 feet; and cruise cross-country at 180 MPH while carrying four people plus gear. Changes from the Wilga were so extensive that the FAA approved Mike's redesign as an experimental exhibition aircraft. The DRACO 2.0m is equally unique and astounding; it's also one of the most highly-engineered, detailed, and feature-rich E-flite aircraft yet! Inspired by the incredible ingenuity and effort Mike Patey put into building the full-sized aircraft, E-flite offers the first officially-licensed scale replica of the ultimate bush plane. The amazing DRACO 2.0m is one of the most highly-engineered, detailed and feature-rich RC models ever produced. Beyond its complex design and the accurate shape of its fully-molded, lightweight and durable EPO airframe with a factory-applied finish, it also features an abundance of Extra Scale details including a variety of surface features, steps, antennas, wingtip "stinger" skids, and much more. The clear windshield and windows offer an excellent view of the detailed cockpit with pilot figure and backlit instrument panel. Functional Extra Scale features include licensed, scale-like KING shocks on the main gear and tail wheel, leading-edge slats, slotted flaps and more. There are also a total of 17 LEDs throughout the airframe, with a custom controller that allows you to select solid, strobing and other light combination options from your transmitter. Oversized, tundra-style tires on the custom-made carbon fiber main gear soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance, while the shock-absorbing and steerable tailwheel offers improved ground handling. Factory-installed, metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped and internal linkages deliver crisp, precise control. The high-power brushless outrunner motor can drive the scale 4-blade propeller with a wide range of 4000"“7000mAh batteries. It's also equipped with a 100-amp Spektrum Avian Smart ESC, and the BNF Basic version includes an AR637TA Smart receiver that delivers full-range telemetry. Even with its large-scale size and feature-packed design, the DRACO 2.0m can be flight-ready in less time than it takes to charge a battery. No tools are required for field assembly/disassembly because the two-piece wing is secured with quarter-turn thumbscrews. If you have mastered flying at least one or two previous RC aircraft, you can fly the DRACO 2.0m successfully, especially when taking advantage of the BNF Basic version's exclusive AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. The Plug-N-Play version lets experienced modelers choose and use their own transmitter, receiver, battery and charger. The Bind-N-Fly Basic version includes a Spektrum receiver equipped with AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies so intermediate to experienced modelers can use their own transmitter, battery and charger.
