I'm an old guy, 82, who has flown RC off and on since 1970. Got back into electric foam planes a few years ago and love today's RC scene. I'm too old to carry a heavy field box any more...lol. My club here outside Phoenix has 5 or 6 guys who always bring a Scout along with them. Usually someone calls "Scout Fly" and we all end up racing them wide open around the pattern. The Areoscout is a great compact fast plane, easy to do touch and goes with and able to fly slow conceivably as a trainer for a beginner. Lost mine twice downwind on a very breezy day and each time it landed itself unharmed. Never crashed after having mine for 2 years.

Just completed 130 flights on my AeroScout - 1st plane. Starting to do some aerobatics now with it. Handles the wind better than most foam trainers.

[@wingovertd]

Great handling and control. Congrats mate. Love to see.

[@poker8193]

It does well for ax trainer. I love mine and take it to fly whenever I go so I can fly somthing after I break the prop on my other planes lol

[@danielcowdin9202]

Nice flight! Try this. Move the pushrod connection at the elevator servo to the outer hole. Take the servo arm off the rudder servo, turn the arm, 180 degrees, put it back on, and reinstall the pushrods. I put a Flite Test ESC in my AeroScout, gets immediate throttle response. I have occasionally flown my AeroScout with a 1800 4S battery, but at your own risk, and do not stay at full throttle for long periods of time.

[@JonsRC]

Thanks for the tips!

[@aragorn318]

27 flights on mine! Lotta fun

[@rogerwells6229]

Wow ... fantastic flying!

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@jps99]

Love my Aeroscout! I'm starting to do basic aerobatics and love how gentle this plane is especially in stalls. Being a pusher, none of my crashes have taken out the original prop. Try that with other trainers! You sure can fly that thing!

[@JonsRC]

Thanks! I love the Aeroscout! I learned a lot on that plane!

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

Superb flight and advice!!

[@JonsRC]

Thank you!

[@TheOnlySoarin]

Our local club had a fun fly on Saturday and I won a Night Radian in their raffle

[@JonsRC]

Awesome! I have a Night Radian as well and that is fun relaxing flyer!

[@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037]

Great Job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@BillKisel]

I've got about 5-6 flights on my AerorScout. Good to see how capable the plane is as demonstrated by your flight. You flew it like you stole it. 😊

[@JonsRC]

Thanks! She is definitely a fun flyer!

[@JS-jr1wu]

Great flying as usual! I wish I could throw mine around like that. Do you need a fair bit of elevator to stay inverted?

[@JonsRC]

Thanks! Yes. It does take a bit of elevator as tends to pitch down when inverted.

[@Rob-vt1mz]

I run my scout on a 4s 1550 120c, no landing gear (that weak gear mechanism weights 16.6g ). I've flown in 30+ gusts 20 standard. Love it as my windy day plane. Slap some streamers on her put her into the wind, kill the throttle and hover forever. Great glider. But be sure to cut a little foam around the ailerons servo arms. When you start flying 100% the arms will push into the foam, prematurely wearing out the servo and it will blowout on you while in the air. I'd put some carbon or a popsicle stick in front of the servos as well. If your battery slides in a hard maneuver it will slap that rudder servo no problem.

[@JonsRC]

I did not realize she could fly on 4s!

[@Rob-vt1mz]

@@JonsRC it's not stock esc or motor. Though technically the stock esc will take it but if you are an aggressive flyer you will eventually lock up their stock motor.

Ciao ma al tuo atterraggio sento dei BIP BIP sei te che spegni il motore e con i trim dai elevatore a tacche ? Grazie. Complimenti per il volo. Ho appena ordinato questo modello

[@acg8460]

2 flights on mine and put it in a tree… brilliant little plane though, time to order a new one

[@learningtoflyrc]

U can Fly!

[@JonsRC]

Thanks! Had lots of practice!

[@Evan-rq2ee]

ive done 1 flight on my aeroscout, i suck at landing, any ips for landing and when should i fly, or what wind speeds effect it most, i was flying for the first time in 10mph winds lol

[@capnhardway]

The tips on landing is to approach a straight as you can get low, keep cutting throttle and adding elevator to keep the nose up. Feather flare and land! I didn't do great on this so far but I did good on my Pioneer, good luck.

[@kranerwheatens]

Do you suggest starting with a simulator before flying this plane?

[@JonsRC]

Absolutely! Practicing on a simulator then taking what you learn to the field using this RC plane, is the best way to learn to fly RC!

[@RCDude04]

Do you have any tips for getting out of SAFE on that plane. I don’t use anything without safe and I need to get out of it

[@HciContractor]

You'll get off safe on your own when you're ready. You're doing well it sounds. As you gain confidence you'll naturally flip it off and on as needed

[@capnhardway]

I hit her and paniked, couldn't find the recovery button fast enough..😢. I have since repaired but not gotten it back up yet. What are your suggestions for expo for a less experienced pilot? Thank you.

[@JonsRC]

Hi! It’s happened to everyone! I would suggest trying 25% expo and also set your rates to around 75%. As you get more comfortable, gradually reduce these numbers by 5%. Good luck and happy flying!

[@capnhardway]

@@JonsRC thank you, that's what I'm trying to figure out the expo ratings can be quite confusing!

[@aaamodeltrainsandplanes3774]

Does this plane show how much battery you have left on the transmitter while using smart packs ?

[@HciContractor]

Yes it does

[@ironmover5800]

Good flying , how’s dads skills progressing ?

[@JonsRC]

Thanks! My dad is getting better with helis! He hasn’t been flying planes.

[@noswad75]

What is a throw?

[@waywardspirit7898]

The amount of distance traveled by the various control surfaces. (I.E. how much deflection the rudder , elevator or ailerons have) Trainers will have small throws. The more advanced plans will have big throws making tighter turns and faster control responses.

[@purplefurture6960]

what safe does ?

[@JonsRC]

SAFE SELECT technology is a gyro to help the beginner pilot fly the plane. It limits the bank angles and auto-levels the plane when you release the sticks. It really helps the beginning RC pilot feel more confident.
