Just purchased the AeroScout for my 10 year old son, and he loves it.. Joined him up to a local flying club here in the UK, and pleased to say that the members are keeping him on the straight and narrow, with regard to him flying safe, eg abiding to rules set by the BMFA. "Kids can get little wild sometimes" lol... Sure you must have similar governing body in the US... Anyway thank you for the tips and know how.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes, and very glad you're getting him into this hobby! Glad to hear it!

[@overlinkbart147]

Sounds like good advice for junior, but a good tip would be to first check out a selection of Brian's previous videos. Love em as I may, flying in storms, under obstacles, close to his house, or catching models in mid flight, sure won't fit into any of the rules that's been taught to your son right now.. JMHO of course... Happy flying, stay safe.

I bought my AeroScout about 9 months ago. Learned how to fly without crashing too much. Moved up to a Timber X, and today did the maiden flight on my new Conscendo Evolution (an amazing plane, by the way). The AeroScout was my first "large" plane and gave me the confidence to progress in the hobby. Enjoyed the formation and camera crew flying.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome David! Great choice(s)! The AeroScout is a wonderful first plane, even better than the UMX Sport Cub S like I used! Sounds like you're moving through the ranks!!! Thanks for being here with us David!

[@ronjones9143]

Thank you for this video. I watched it all the way through and learned so many things that I've been doing wrong. Just started flying and have already crashed two planes thinking exactly what you mentioned. Bought planes that I thought looked cool rather than planes for my skill level. I was ready to throw in the towel because I thought I was no good at it. You showed me I need to take it slow and learn to master one type before moving on and if that takes a year, so be it. Thank you again Brian and camera crew :)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Ron - thank you for sharing. We're trying to reach people in your EXACT situation. So much to "know" and so many don't have anyone to tell them! Please make sure you come back for more...this video was geared for beginners, but we get WAY more advanced here on the channel too...we TRY to keep a balance between getting WAY into the weeds (my tendency) and keeping the video progressing.

[@GregoryC21]

I noticed that every model in your radio has a number in the name. Those are not necessary. When you name your model in the radio, put the cursor on the first character (i.e. the first digit of the number), click the scroll wheel to select it, and then just click the Clear button TWICE to erase then entire name. Thank your for showing Megan and Andrew. That was a treat. They both did a great job!!! Your love for them show in the video. Good job to you as well. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your great R/C content.

It really gives me hope for the future of our country watching the Phillips family grow as a family and creating the family side business the entire family is building as a family. The values they have is a great example to every family. Yes there is a way to make time after long work days. I miss those days with my dad but we didn't have video and instant pictures. All of mine lost to time and moving. This lives forever. What a gift to generations to come building the family tree. Thanks for sharing all this.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Terry for saying this. We are very blessed to have access to this huge grouping of memories, no doubt! I've been able to go back and fly with my late Grandpa, with KZbin...very cool! I wish I would have made him be ON camera more now ;)

[@thelongestday64]

You are also a great teacher Brian. I wish I had this video exactly a year ago! This was our trainer plane and we learned to fly with it. A great trainer, great RTF set. You do need a bit more open space for the aeroscout then one might think. We love the compact size and the way the wing attaches (Horizon makes more wings like this!). The Apprentice STS is better, but also more expensive and needs even more space. The servo on the front wheel/rudder can break easily on your first couple of hard landings... Great to see your son and wife fly! Good to show how the plane can glide and how to bleed off speed, the AeroScout can be a bit fast for beginners on landings... We also totally agree about what you said about Horizon Hobby and think that their products are well worth the extra dollars.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome! We did break the Rudder servo on one too, and I was quite disappointed, given it was a plastic geared 8g servo...why not Metal Gear 9G??? Oh well, rest is amazing, so I guess it was flawless, they wouldn't need guys like me ;) LOL!!!

[@leothalion3983]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Having trouble binding to the new Rx, please help.

[@my_dear_friend_]

Please mention that there is a difference between Basic RFT and completely ready to fly (according to Hobby Zone). My Hobby Zone RTF plane came without the battery and as a result does not have to comply with the FAA ruling for only manufacturing remote ID ready planes since the end of 2022. Additionally, Hobby Zone has currently no plans to supply remote ID solutions. Of course, they did not mention this when I bought the plane and it would be nice to know this kind of stuff. It is a beginner plane afterall.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

A few points of clarity... 1) This video was filmed well before RID was of concern. Thus there is no mention of it, since my time machine is broken. 2) MFG dates are probably NOT past the cutoff. I assume HH is just "playing it safe", but much of the inventory in the US and CHINA are still PRE-cutoff date. You remember when world commerce STOPPED for a year and a half...(COVID)...yeah, lots of this stuff was built during or even BEFORE that. You don't always know what the MFG date was. Finally, on this matter, it is the RESPONSIBILITY of the MFG, not the consumer...so please don't worry about unenforceable rules, or you'll make yourself sick thinking about all that nonsense. 3) I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not going to get into legalese here on this channel. You won't find me talking about legal stuff here, since we gain NOTHING from being a talking piece for the FAA! They will NOT get free airtime here!!! They can jump in front of a truck as far as I'm concerned. 4) Horizon Hobby (or any other MFG for that matter) DON'T have a solution because it's a MOVING TARGET! There is NOBODY making a solution, since it's unsolvable! Just live life, and fly like crazy while all the bureaucrats try to regulate out toys. Keep in mind, this being a beginner plane, doesn't mean the FAA won't change things in 2 day, or 2 years...there's NOTHING to stop them from doing whatever they want, with or without reason - so why would you even worry about it. It's like saying, I don't want to get a Motorcycle, since the DOT might outlaw it tomorrow...you can't stop it, but there would be a huge outcry if they did, right? All we're trying to do is make our hobby as BIG as possible to have a bigger voice if and when we need to fight. BUT...to be clear, we are of the mindset that they would lose in court, if they were taken to court. Again - not a lawyer, and not going to pretend to be one here. I refuse to be implicated in legal battles by suggesting anything other than I love RC planes. Sorry, wish there was an easier way, and I DO get what you're asking for...but just can't do it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You should try carrying the Carbon Z T-28 around!!!

You’re a better dad than me. I bought all 3 son’s the WL Toys pushprop glider (SkyKing) and since I was the only one that “knew how to fly, that I had the career Air Force Pilot as a dad, I’d fly the SkyKing first. Destroyed 2 in under 10 minutes... Then the worst mistake to my wallet I ever made was- “I wonder if anyone has ever posted a video on KZbin about how to fly a remote control airplane? Probably not, but it’s worth checking.” 6 years and 40 planes later... my then 9 year old, now 15 loves the sport. “It’s like a video game, but outside and no HDMI cable.” And if your son is anything like mine, there’s no fear. There’s no association to crashing and the cost to replace or repair. The first time Caden flew the Timber UMX there was a roll, a loop and while landing, his fine motor was good enough to fly backwards.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - Thanks, and some of these kids are such naturals! They're used to playing video games, and that does help, but even still, my son is very careful...to the point of slowing his progress. I have to remind him...we have HUNDREDS of planes waiting for you and I to crash - LOL...but he knows the whole truth, I'll fix it, unless it's a total loss....then he'll get dragged into helping me ;) Glad you're enjoying the hobby with your kids! Thanks for being here with us Jeff (and kids, presumably)!

[@stephenstumpf]

The AeroScout great on so many levels. I just jumped into this hobby two months ago and my first purchase was the Real Flight Evolution kit... getting started on the PC using an actual DX type transmitter body is amazing and speeds up the learning curve. Ordered an AeroScout2 from Horizon within a week. I'm already on fuselage #2 due to some aggressive flying beyond my ability LOL. My wings are pretty much glue and tape at this point and still work great. That top mounted prop is the best. As many nose plants as I've done, I'd of spent the cost of the plane in replacement props already. Great flyer and VERY forgiving. I'm now hooked and have three other planes two of which are waiting for assembly when my skills advance. Hopefully your commission links are working ;) You and Camera Crew keep up the AWESOME and VERY entertaining work.

[@tomlombardi2052]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I took your suggestion, watched it ALL the way through, and did so, so I could learn to bind. As I’ve already explained, I currently own the AeroScout 1.1 RTF, and now I’m gonna make my first attempt at the binding process so I can use my DX8 G2 transmitter with this plane. I definitely will have to slow down that part of the video, take it in small chunks, with hopes of succeeding at my first bind. Fingers crossed! Tom L. BTW, I also currently own about 5 planes of different sizes, configurations, and flying abilities. What can I say? I’m HOOKED to this hobby! Thank you Brian, Andrew, and Camera Crew. Great job!

I was great seeing your wife (camera crew) fly. I can relate to the anxiety. Over 15 years ago I quit flying. The crash and done syndrome. I was tired of repair work with the balsa wood planes. The high density foam is so easy to repair. Usually in less than a minute. Now with the sale technology it's easier to be successful. Safe technology is wonder. Also, I'd highly recommend getting the full simulator. I upgraded from the trial or trainer version doesn't allow you to change the wind speed or turbulence. Great tips and info.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks!

[@stevenkempster4106]

Nice to see your son and Megan flying and by the way Megan your flying was far better than Brian's camera work !!.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

totally agree!

[@marcoreviews]

Been wanting one for the longest time! This version seems awesome! Totally want the safe mode! Awesome video as always!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice! The RTF and BNF are both great!

[@marcoreviews]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Does the BNF version bind easily with one of those plugs to your standard FLYsky remote or is it more complex? I would love to be able to fly it with my own remote but I tried that with my Super hornet but something truly wrong with how I set it up and eventually that plane will end up being a shelf queen. Hoping if I get the Aeroscout with safe mode I won't obliterate or loose it like the 2 aeroscout minis I bought because the remote that comes with those is horrible for beginners.

[@spiff2776]

Hate to say it Brian, but Andrew and Megan both had smoother landings than you did {lol). But seriously, it was great to see the whole family flying together. The family that plays together, stays together. Thanks for the Video everyone. thoroughly enjoyable!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It happens ;) Thanks

I bought this plane from a friend of mine for $60 crashed with a battery. 1 $12 servo and some tape and CA later, I put this plane back in the air. I’m a scale snob pattern flyer that relies on SAFE. This plane changed that. Nothing does loops like a pre-crashed cheap plane. I’m not crazy about the esc/prop noise and wind up. But, it is a fun, easy and low stress plane. In wind around 10mph you can soar for a few minutes without throttle. The only problem is that in wind it takes a lot of work to get it back down.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

See!!! I was a scale snob too when I was a new, but there's so many fun planes!!

[@smoke20660]

Great video. New to the hobby. 4th flight and I finally took it out of safe mode. Your videos explain things in layman’s terms. Other videos I’ve watched go way over newbies heads. I do have one question about Lipo battery storage on these smart packs. I’ve been told you can keep them fully charged and not have to worry about them, but I’ve also read they should be stored at 3.7 volts per cell. I don’t have a discharging charger, so I’m a little concerned on where the correct voltage should be or do the smart packs kinda take care of themselves. Great videos, I’ve been trying to watch them all……4 flights so far and have brought it back in one piece so far. Keep,up the good work. I know I appreciate the knowledge you provide

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Glad you're here with us, and YES - GREAT QUESTION! SMART packs have a chip inside the end, right where the wires come out for the DISCHARGE LEAD (the IC3, bigger one) and the BALANCE LEAD (if you have Gen 1, but Gen 2 won't have a balance lead at all)... This chip stores data, communicates with chargers/other SMART equipment, and auto-discharges, and BALANCES all the time! This is one of the BIGGEST AND BEST features. We have more videos about SMART batteries, if you're curious to really dig in - "NON Plane Playlist" or Spektrum SMART stuff playlist...if I recall correctly. So, yes, you can change how fast the battery starts to AUTO DISCHARGE after charging, between OFF, and 240 hours, (or 10 days) AND to what voltage each cell will get, with 3.9 VDC on newer packs. 3.8VDC was the "standard" discharge point before we started using SMART batteries, but I think they keep them up over that to keep them from discharging too far. These settings are accessible when you have the battery plugged into a smart charger. Just scroll into SMART SETTINGS and look through the options. Good luck! So much fun coming, and we're here to help!!!

Very Nice Brian, Your son is a good pilot, chip off the old block. It is priceless to spend time with your son because before you know it that time can be gone. I for one would enjoy seeing more video's like this to see progression.👍✔🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎬🎥🗽🤠🙏

[@FalconWing1813]

Thanks for the video. I have a 11 year old and a soon to be six year old been thinking of getting a plane for them to try out. Might be a winner with this one.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Totally - Great choice!

[@connerwright665]

The aeroscout is one of my go to planes to fly on a nice day. I have upgraded the esc on mine and put in a 40amp esc. It is a rocket ship on 4s unlimited vertical and easy 80-90 mph speed runs.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Sweet!

[@MikeSarni]

Which motor did you use with the 4s setup? Someone told me they just switched out their esc for 4s and used stock aeroscout motor and after a minute of flying on 4s the stock motor gave up the smoke!

[@connerwright665]

@@MikeSarni it has the stock motor with a upgraded esc. I only fly it now on 4s and haven’t had any issues. It’s fun to take to a field surprise people. Most people have never seen a aeroscout have unlimited vertical.

[@charliemarchiony7914]

1:03:14 Kv is not Kilovolts. It means rpm/volt, rated with no load, so 2250Kv on 11.1V should be 24,975 rpm with no prop (or rotor weight)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thank you for pointing this out. I actually didn't know it, and it's a bit embarrassing that I haven't yet know this!!! Brushless Motor RPS (empty) per Volt Therefore 2500kV motor would rotate at 12.6 X 2500 = 31,500 RPM unloaded with a 3S pack at full charge (4.2VDC)...and 24,750 RPM when depleted at 3.3VDC per cell. Good to learn such things, but I should have already know this about 5 years ago - oh well, better late than never!

[@grege2383]

I have one and love it, looking into making it a 4s. Also as I learned the hard way - the rudder servo strips easily. I ended up replacing it with a cyclic servo out of a Blade 230.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

YES, I also had one strip...that 8 Gram size is weird too...so I too found a METAL GEAR SERVO for that one. I was pretty disappointed in this, but I suppose they (HH) want to keep replacement parts cheap, so they don't scare off new pilots????

@@toolbaggers that’s what I’m thinking man! I’ve mastered this plane! Knife edges. Loops. Inverted etc.. with confidence. I’m thinking I want to get an edf.. what you think?

[@zachhall5852]

It’s an awesome plane I haven’t stopped flying it. Put a 4s in it makes it even better

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Zach, if you wish, skip all the steps you want. My recommendation is to be very patient with yourself when and if you get an expensive plane and crash. It's a lot higher consequence when you crash a bigger, more expensive aircraft, and I just want you to find success, before you find a big, expensive problem. If you have less of a foundation of success, you'll be higher risk of quitting.

[@Iowa_audits]

[@scottsoderling6420]

Brian... .another great video. Thanks for helping us rookies learn more about the hobby! And a question. Around the 1:14:00 mark of the video. you talk about using velcro to hold the battery in place and how you have an alternate way of doing it. Unless I missed it, I don't think you ever got around to showing your alternate way? Let me know if I missed it somewhere else in the video, or maybe you've done a separate video about that?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Firstly, thanks for the time stamp. Helps immensely... Alternative way was used in the Blade 330S if you missed it. That's a SHELF liner - I glue it in with some foam to foam, or china glue - works AMAZING, and SUPER DUPER CHEAP!!! Way better, holds them without moving, and easier to get in and out. Velcro, once installed is only on the one side, and I hate insulating the batteries any more than absolutely necessary. Either way, if in quesiton - use the Velcro ;) It's a good solution, but I don't like it. Too many different planes and applications that I need my packs in different positions.

[@scottsoderling6420]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for the quick reply. I watched the video. Although I'm not a heli guy (yet!!), there's always something new to learn. For others that may be interested, you talk about the shelf liner solution at the 1:09:45 point in the Blade 330S video.
