Mike Patey crafted the ultimate bush plane by redesigning a Wilga 2000 with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop for double the power at half the weight, plus extensive mods that let it climb fast, hit 28,000 feet, cruise at 180 MPH, and haul four people with gear. The FAA certified this as an experimental exhibition aircraft, sparking huge demand for RC versions. RealFlight Evolution delivers the E-flite Micro DRACO 800mm, a compact 800mm replica of the popular E-flite DRACO 2.0m.
This RC simulation on PC puts intermediate to experienced pilots in control of a practical, fun-to-fly model that's easier and more affordable than larger ones. Fly the Micro DRACO through aviation challenges that echo its full-scale feats. It suits pilots ready for precise handling in an indie racing sim.
Mike Patey's undeniable passion, exceptional drive, and work ethic (Back to Work™) have led to him designing and building some of the most unique and incredible aircraft – while his infectious enthusiasm has inspired thousands of people to enjoy RC and full-scale aviation along the way! Starting with a Wilga 2000 and replacing its Lycoming O-540 piston engine with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-28 turboprop boasting about twice the power at half the weight, then many additional modifications later, Mike proudly unveiled his “ultimate bush plane.” It could go to the same places as a Carbon Cub but 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 E-flite DRACO 2.0m was equally unique and astounding, and since its release, it's become one of the best-selling RC aircraft ever! But many pilots have asked for a smaller version that's more convenient, easier to fly, and most importantly–is more affordable too. The Micro DRACO 800mm delivers in every way to offer the most practical and fun-to-fly replica for intermediate to experienced pilots yet!
