• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Draco for 2020?

All the decals on this one have the "X" logo, but I don't think it has the 1k HP modeled. That said...

I bought it - I like it! It has good ground handling, but getting to sit still without brakes is next to impossible. Even just barely into the beta range, it's still pulling forward. Pull back just a little more into beta, and you're going back. I haven't found that neutral point yet. In the air, it climbs like it was shot out of a howitzer! It may not be a daily driver, but it sure will be fun to take into the Grand Canyon for some "dumb ways to die" type flying!

Oh, and unlike some other add-ons that I've tested, the blue Level button on the autopilot actually works on this one.
 
One tip on landings, fly it close to stall, full flaps, 3 point touchdown and hold full back stick and it will stay straight as an arrow on the short roll-out to stop even without beta range on the throttle.
