The Aeroscout is a good RC plane. I have flown it with the landing gear, the wheels on, and off. While you might get a more aerobatic flight performance with the landing gear removed, as you did in this video, the plane doesn't do very well on belly landings, the wheels are robust and can handle landing on hard surfaces, or grass. So I would keep them on. While the crash stinks, 1) that's part of flying r/c planes, helicopters, or even r/c cars and 2) the plane, if used gently, flies gently and self-corrects in flight when in Beginner mode. Aerobatic flying is exciting, but you are exponentially more likely to end your flight in a catastrophic crash when doing that, vs gently buzzing around a park in large circles.

@@criminallaw9573 yeah this was an experiment installing a bigger mah battery. Everything was fine until the elevator quit working. Which I had been having issues with and changed it out a couple times. I repaired this on but cleaned out electronics, and installed in new fuselage and flying it again. You're right about flying in circles but it's more fun to push your skills and progress . Happy RC Flying

@@WDRC Oh, I fully understand that when you lose control of the elevator, you lose control of the plane. While my Aeroscout works well, it does occasionally make some odd noises in flight if I accelerate it rapidly, the absolute last thing in the world I need is for it to malfunction in the air, that's pretty much a guaranteed crash for what has been, for me, a stable, safe, easy-to-fly/takeoff/land airplane.

Please pardon my motormouth, but did you have a battery change at the 5" point or fly it to 11 minutes.......if 11 min. that is really pushing it. Doing so at a minimum will probably shorten the battery's life. Also, your flaps at the maximum was about at a 80-85-degree angle to the wing. If you reduce that to 45 degrees at the max and 25-30 degrees for take off; plus program a little down elevator flap performance will greatly improve.

@@speedyswede5585 yeah although that is all logical and helpful but not using a digital Radio on this plane. Still using my older Tactic Radio and receiver. As far as the battery goes, yes I flew one battery that entire flight. I push my batteries to LVC most of the time. I could stop sooner but in try and see how far I can go to test out life on different planes. My flaps are set up on a knob so I can control what I want applied. Happy RC Flying.
