Asking: $425 for TEMAC Members

Just had confirmation that three members of the Beeton Club are attending our BBQ.
Rudie Nagelmakers, our new Maac Zone Director, will be attending with two other members.

Mark, I guess we should reserve a dozen dogs for the Beeton boys.
Just kidding- two each.

Covering done.
So fragile.
Those who know me, know that I do not use profanity (or very rarely do I).
In this case more than a few chosen curse words were uttered.
Now moving on to the radio and motor installation.

Well, that was weird- it poured rain just before I arrived...after my wife called to ask if I were stupid because it was pouring in Toronto.  Mark and Jeff Fisher were already there. 
- Then the rain stopped after we thought the evening was over before it began.
- Then the wind died down.
- Then the sun came out.
- then Jeff pulled out his plane and we had a trim flight and a student flight and Amir arrived.
- then we planted foam.  A broken prop and spinner.  Repairable.
- then Kennie came out and had two flights with his Tucano and one with his Panther jet.

EFL12550 DRACO 2.0m Smart BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE
Brand new never flown. With upgraded Dubro tires
Selling at Great hobbies for $1000.
My price $675


FEATURES
The only officially-licensed scale replica of the one-of-a-kind DRACO by Mike Patey
Extra Scale details including an abundance of molded-in surface features, steps, antennas, wingtip skids, and much more
Functional Extra Scale features including licensed KING shocks on the main gear and tail wheel, leading-edge slats, slotted flaps, and more
17 total LEDs including navigation, landing, down, tail beacon, reversing and other lights with adjustable light controller
Spektrum AR637TA receiver with full-range telemetry and industry-leading DSMX technology
Inspired by the incredible ingenuity and effort Mike Patey put into building the full-sized aircraft, E-flite offers the only 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 — even when taxiing backward with the optional-use motor reversing (compatible Smart receiver and 7+ channel transmitter required for reversing).

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, from a 4S pack for slow and smooth scale flight to 6S power for better-than-scale vertical performance. 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 including real-time battery voltage, current, motor RPM, ESC temperature, and more to compatible AirWare equipped transmitters. And 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. Best of all, if you've 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. And it all adds up to offer an unmatched STOL (Short Take Off and Landing), scale and beyond flying experience unlike any other!

Are you new to flying  RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft such as the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2. Based on the Carbon Cub flown by Mike's wife, Chandra Patey, it's equipped with exclusive and innovative SAFE technology that makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully!

I will be there. Thanks Michael

This model is in good shape and has not been flown for many years.  It needs a good cleaning and lubrication and certainly will be back up in the air.  For sale for $250 or best offer.  Plane available in Maple, Ontario around Keele & Kirby area.  Please contact Andy Basacchi for any information.
