HobbyZone AeroScout S 1.1m BNF Basic - ADVANCED AEROBATIC FLOATPLANE?!?!

[@rogerwells6229]

What a demonstration, your piloting is 5 stars.

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thanks Roger!!!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Mike I like the on the porch/patio intro! This is a GREAT example of what I tell students...get all you can out of your trainer. They can teach so much more than the basics....like aerobatics as you've demonstrated! Awesome flying as usual man! By the way...that is what my throttle sounds like as well...that happens when you use rudder! Lol!

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thanks Adam!!! I always appreciate your comments and input. By the way your channel is the first and only one I watch for new plane releases as I prefer to watch someone who is experienced and knows what they are taking about.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

@@michaelclinerc3211 Thank YOU Mike. That means a lot coming from you my friend!

[@3DMOFO2020]

Awesome to finally get to see the pilot in front of the camera for a change Micheal😁 Yeah this plane has become popular lately ever since somebody was flying the ever loving crap out of it at Joe Nall recently it seems to very ''Able&Willing'' if it can only get away with 3d hovers? LOL!! Fantastic job on the flight as always Micheal👍👍

[@airhammer6203]

Agreed, nice to see the man doing what he does

[@michaelclinerc3211]

I appreciate your comments even though I’m not much of an on camera person.

[@3DMOFO2020]

@@michaelclinerc3211 No problem Micheal😁😁

[@dogfoodking]

You make everything look so easy! Nice job Mr. Smooth!

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thank you!!!

[@rlbutterfield]

Your 51 years of flying has provided the experience necessary to become a master pilot. Really enjoy the confidence in which you fly. EXCELLENT!!! 👍🏻🙂

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thank you!!! I’ve got a lot of flights on my thumbs and they’re getting a little worn out but I’m still having fun.

[@rlbutterfield]

@@michaelclinerc3211 That’s what it’s all about. Keep doing it. ENJOY! 👍🏻🙂

[@dougV565]

Thanks for the demonstration of the Aero Scout on floats. I never was interested in one of these, but this is defiantly on my short list of aircraft to fly when I get in my late 70's and 80's.

[@michaelclinerc3211]

I have been amazed how well it flies, especially how well it flies aerobatics. The floats are just frosting on the cake!

[@greglewis20]

We need a larger Aeroscout!

[@michaelclinerc3211]

We definitely need a larger AeroScout!!!

[@randallcline1176]

Nice flying bro. Even though I've seen you fly hundreds of times throughout our lives I never get sick of watching you. Especially off the water.

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thanks bro!!! Float flying is my favorite aspect of the hobby.

[@johnwhitman1211]

Thanks Michael, this convinced me this is the plane I was looking for. 👍

[@michaelclinerc3211]

You are very welcome and thank you for watching!!!

[@SteffenRC]

Again Michael, that is some amazing flying my friend, you are a real master. Love the intro and your narration too.

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thanks Will!!!

[@quilong]

congrats! Nice terrace and nice flying!

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thank you!!!

[@airhammer6203]

Great video Micheal, nice flying. I may just have to pick up an Areoscout!! AH...

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thanks AH!!! I highly recommend getting one, you won’t be disappointed.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

You make it look so good. When I had mine it felt sluggish in the roll and didn`t want to roll or perform fast with stock setup. I also think it is way to noisy. But your skills are second to none and makes anything look truly great!

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thank you! I do agree that it is rather noisy for an electric, and the configuration is rather unusual, but i am blown away by how nice it flies.

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Great flying, sure do like the Aeroscout S2 and floats are perfect for splash and goes. Adam sent me here. Jeff in LA USA

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thanks Jeff! It was actually your video of the AeroScout on floats that inspired me to get a set for mine. Not sure where in LA that you are located but I took the family to the Gulf Shore and Orange Beach area many times for vacation.

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

@@michaelclinerc3211 Good deal Michael, isn't it the perfect fun plane? I used it to train with and it's just fun to fly. Adam suggested that I sub, Thank you Jeff

[@larryhawkes1347]

Another thing I found handy when training students using the aeroscout Via a buddy box is to do an aleron to Rudder mix on a switch so that when the student is flying in safe mode I can flip the switch so the arrow Scout is a lot more sensitive in safe mode so the student doesn't keep getting used to just jamming the sticks all the way left and right.

[@Mode1RC]

Very nice Mike!

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thanks Craig!!!

[@d.knudsen4135]

Awesome flying and what an amazing plane at a great price point. It's probably the most recommended trainer out there but a lot of people shy away from it due to it's looks. I have to admit that I was the same but it grows on you and it's fun to see what the 'ugly duckling' can do.

[@michaelclinerc3211]

The aerodynamics are incredible on the AeroScout. I am simply blown away by how much fun it is to fly.

[@larryhawkes1347]

Well, after watching your past videos I would have never guessed you were older than me, I'm 65 and recently bought an aeroscout and also put floats on it and I would have to agree it's a very fun plane to fly. I actually think your throttle is just fine, you just need to tune your carburetor, sounds like it's running a little lean. 😂😊😂😊😂

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Getting old sucks but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. The little AeroScout is the very definition of fun.

[@musk-eteer9898]

i love to see that plane with EDF

[@michaelclinerc3211]

As would I. 😎

[@markduckworth5579]

Are you using the stock ESC or have you upgraded to get rid of the throttle delay? I also have an Aeroscout. I put floats on it a while back and it quickly demoted my beloved Eflite Twin Otter to second favorite float plane. I don't think the wheels will ever be going back on.

[@michaelclinerc3211]

I am using the stock ESC in my AeroScout. I’ve gotten used to the throttle delay and don’t really think about it anymore.

[@odwatchguy]

Nice flight Michael, I like the plane I just don't like the sound of pushers. Now every student with an Aeroscout is going to watch this and want to do low inverted passes, just kidding you make it look too easy. Thanks for sharing

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Thank you!!! Yes, the noise is really my only complaint with the AeroScout.

[@calvinpeterson3203]

2 questions is everything stock For the electronics an what expo and rates are you using

[@michaelclinerc3211]

All stock. I typically use 100% rates and 40% to 50% expo on most planes.

[@stzimmerman]

@@michaelclinerc3211 that's the information I was seeking as well. So you didn't change the throws at all from the stock 100%? That's impressive as mine doesn't seem to have quite that roll rate even at 100%. Inspiring performance to fuel the fire to improve my flying skills. Thanks!

[@txkflier]

Now if it just had a Micro Draco 4-blade prop on it.. 😎

[@alexandernentwig9596]

That wouldn‘t work, would it? Sounds like you tried that… I was tempted to buy an Aeroscout myself, even though found it super ugly in the beginning and meanwhile rather neat somehow. What I can‘t get used to is that super annoying pusher prop sound. 😢

[@txkflier]

@@alexandernentwig9596 Look for the AeroScout prop tests on Shane’s DIY channel.

[@rlbutterfield]

Totally agree. Very nice flying.

[@greglewis20]

Obviously there is zero wind

[@michaelclinerc3211]

Obviously. 🙂 If it was windy and the lake was rough you can’t see the reflection of the plane in the water.
