Firelands Aero Club will be holding a raffle to earn money for a Firelands Aero Club Flight Scholarship!!! We will be raffling an RC version of the famous Draco STOL aircraft built by aviation legend, Mike Patey. The Extra Scale DRACO 2.0m is one of the most detailed and feature-rich E-flite® aircraft to date, and the only officially-licensed model of Mike Patey’s ultimate bush plane. It excels at STOL and scale-like flying — and looks amazing while doing both! Did we mention that this model will also be AUTOGRAPHED by the designer, Mike Patey himself!

The raffle will conclude once all tickets are sold. Tickets are able to be purchased for just $10 and a maximum of 250 tickets will be sold.

Tickets are being sold ONLINE at https://www.flightcircle.com/shop/ff15498e7481/4000004798

*All proceeds will go directly to the newly created Firelands Aero Club Flight Scholarship!
**Raffle will be drawn once all tickets are sold!
