It does look like it handles brilliantly.

Is there a conversion for the Z3 for it Chris ? So you could have it in the Z3 configuration or the Drak depending on what floats your boat that day.
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

What do I need to fly low like that at distance? I'm thinking I need to look at uhf and 1.3ghz for video?

Apart from the 1.3G video link, a couple of titanium balls is a must!

I fly low and through the trees in my skyfun but probably never father than 3-400 metres away from me

The Z3 fuse is very short in comparison , it has a short nose in front of Cg in comparison to the Drak, with Drak style wings it would not balance.

Seems to have all gone quiet on the Drak, would have liked to have this as my winter build/test ready for spring, web page still says "coming soon" and has done for a while.

I e-mailed Chris and he said he will be getting them towards the end of the month. So not long to go.

I've just been flying my Z3 and I love it but wish it had more range like my other bigger wings. (z60, skywalker) So the Drak looks like a perfect upgrade.

Have you ordered one Dog?

The quality of your videos could be a real advertisement for the Drak.

Yeah I'm definitely getting one as soon they are ready.

Same hear, it's a straight choice between the Drak and the MY Twin Dream, both are great aircraft but I have had sooo much fun with the Z3 that puts me in the Drak camp at the mo. But when the dark nights come I will order my new project, so I'm hoping the Drak will be ready or...

For some the Z3 was a bit of a disappointment.

The Drak should offer many of the features of the Z3 and a few extra advantages too :)

Flight times and speed envelope will be crazy.

Hey guys, two weeks ago I was told the mold should be at the molding facility by yesterday Sept 18th.
I emailed them yesterday to confirm and get the latest info.

The plan is for them to run and tune the molding machine, once they are happy with the samples they will send me some fed ex to USA, if they look the way we want we will give them the go ahead on production.

So I am hoping to get samples very soon, maybe next week.
If they run the following week they will get them cured and packed and shipped.

So what ever it takes them to get here after that is what will dictate the schedule.

I am told it can be 3 to 7 weeks to get here from the molder depending on customs.

That is exactly where I am at, thnx for the support guys

Thanks for the update Chris.

Will there be any advance order opportunity for the 'faithful' or will you be getting plenty of kits together in the first run ?

Also will anyone UK/Europe be getting stock of the first ones or will orders be direct from you ?

Hi  PK, yes we will have EU Dealer at E store Rotterdam later, at this point I have the pre sale going, the price is lower here on the pre sale, it will go up once it gets here, I can also do 3 kits in one box for 65.00 shipping cost. That's much cheaper than me sending 3 kits across the USA.

As soon as I see samples I will post some pix and info here.


If you guys email me I will give you the pre sale info
