I just flew this plane today for the 6 time. It flys great. Beginner mode is great, you need it. This is about hand eye coordination. That takes time just fling slowly safely.

I just crashed mine badly on the first flight. My question, I have rebuilt it and since also bound it to my Gen 1 dx8. I do have safe select, should I use the dxs stock controller or dx8 with safe select?

This model is almost getting to a 'travel' aircraft.... one that is lacking in the industry that would allow many who now travel by air/sea and the fact that drones are not allowed on most cruise ships these days. Something like this or maybe in the near future an even more portable model (like a flying wing without the screaming engine) that can carry a micro cam for aerial footage of your trip or to simply take your hobby on the road with you....without the bulk! A million dollar idea maybe Jason.

Looking to get the AeroScout S this week, Thanks for the great video

[@cg7025]

Thanks to the guy who did the video explaining the difference between the aeroscout and the apprentice......both excellent planes but i have decided to go with the Aeroscout first. I still have my old Aerobird Challenger 3 and the old Parkzone Focke Wulf :) and really looking forward to flying the next generation of planes, i learned a lot on the Aerobird Challenger3, what a plane that is...i could get half hour out of a battery, climb high, cut the power and glide and hug the wind where possible, made many repairs to it too and bought many wings where i couldnt repair, strange thing is they always seemed to fly better after a repair haha, i added gaffa tape to the wings to strengthen them slightly, i snapped a few wings diving hard and pulling up sharp with expert mode with all the horns at full throw, gave it a little bit more than perhaps it was designed for, still my favourite plane, endless fun...even managed to get it flying inverted haha. The Focke Wulf was excellent too though more of a postive full on flight compared to the gliding capabilities of the challenger3 which had such a low stall speed especially facing into the wind.

[@abossart241080]

I just purchased this aircraft and had my first flight ever yesterday. Gusty wind and no crash at all. So great plane for beginners even if I had spent some time in simulator to get used to commands. One question I have: it seems that despite putting the transmitter in flight mode 2 (expert mode), I cannot roll or loop; SAFE seems to be engaged even in expert mode. I could not find a setting in the app. Is there a specific setting or setup I need to do? I tried with a DSXe and I tried in my apartment with the DSXeS (without flying) and gyro are kicking with both transmitters.

[@jlemay537]

Great video, looking for the plane to arrive..

[@user-kx4tg2zk7r]

I have a different model than what you are showing. The aileron connectors are on a round capacitor. The wire going to channel one has 4 wires and one is yellow and is not attached to anything, does it plug into 5 or 6 channel or left out? It has a plug attached to it so it seems it would plug into either channel 5 or 6 which are the only two left in the receiver. Thanks for your help. I got the DXS model transmitter. I did not receive a battery or charger, which I thought came with the ready to fly version.

[@scotboy1297]

Good presentation, but need to tell beginners the all important “never leave lipo charging unattended” cautionary.

[@stevejohnston8543]

Fantastic presentation and teaching. You sir should be a model for other You Tube aspiring teachers/presenters. This coming from a teacher. I could base my whole comment on your meticulous and articulate presentation. Great job. Anyway I’ve been so excited to get into this hobby and I’ve got the bug bad after picking up a couple of micro helis. I have a Sport Cub S but it’s always windy up in northern Canada where I am and I think it stands to reason that a larger plane would be way better in the wind and probably actually easier to learn on. I was going to get the carbon cub S or the apprentice but the assembly itself turned me off. I want to learn how to fly these things not spend an hour or more trying to put them together. This seems like my kind of beginner friendly RC aircraft. Solid and well-built, not needing rubber bands all over the place. Anyway you just might have helped me make a decision. Tell me can you fly this in parks etc? Thank you very much. Cheers.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Thank you very much for your feedback and support Steve! And yes, this model is sized so it can be flown in large parks...in an area as small as a single soccer field for more experienced pilots, or in an area the size of ~2+ soccer fields for less experienced pilots. The more space and less obstructions the better when learning to fly of course! The AeroScout does handle better in wind than the Sport Cub S and other smaller/lighter class models, but we do recommend flying in as low of winds as possible when learning to fly. And if you haven't already, we strongly recommend picking up the latest version of RealFlight RC Flight Simulator (www.horizonhobby.com/category/airplanes/aircraft-radio-systems/simulators )...it will help you learn to fly, and become a better pilot, in less time and with far less crashes of your actual models! The AeroScout is not currently in RealFlight (yet ;), but the Sport Cub S, Carbon Cub S and the Apprentice are in there, along with Virtual Flight Instructor lessons also taught by Jason. You can see more info in the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5nQg2Ohpch3d9U

Hi, what is the difference between the S and the S2 versions? I am about to buy an Aeroscout but the local hobbyshop has both in, on their website the cheaper version seems to come with the DXe transmitter whilst the more expensive version comes with a DX .....i am wondering if they have the pricing wrong and if i should go for the DXe transmitter rather than the other one, is there any difference between the planes themselves? Thank you.

[@MasterBlakeYT]

How long does the battery take to charge? I just got it this morning, and it’s currently 6 and it’s still not charged. Also, does a purple flashing mean it’s charging?

[@JS-jr1wu]

I have the Aero S2 BNF. I have created the model from the BNF template on an NX 6. Everything seems to work but I noticed that the elevator servo makes an adjustment to the angle of the elevator when I switch from beginner mode to intermediate mode thus causing the plane to climb in flight. When switched to advanced mode the plane seems to fly fine without any trim adjustments. Is it normal for the servo to make this move when changing from safe beginner to safe intermediate? Thank you for a response!

[@robertcorbin2749]

One of the small bags in the box contains something labeled “Bind Plug”. Where does that plug in? Thanks.

[@gpaje]

Hi Jason, I had a question about the BNF version and binding to a DX8. Does this plane convert to the current style Safe Select (2-switch) or does Safe need to be assigned to a 3 switch and need to bind with all 3 modes the RTF comes with?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

You can use a two-position switch. You will just lose the functionality of the intermediate mode.

[@gpaje]

It's a bit nose heavy but will fly fine with a 3200mAh battery (as long as the particular 3200mAh battery fits in the battery compartment!)! That said, it already offers flight times upwards of 15+ minutes with 3S 2200mAh batteries!

Question, this is considered an excellent beginner aircraft. I am having problems, when I switch from beginner mode switch in (0) @ 50% throttle to intermediate mode switch in position (1) the aircraft pitches nose up drastically and needs to be retrimmed for level flight. Switching back to beginner mode it goes hard nose down and again needs to be retrimmed for level flight. Reading the ops manual again, I see it states trimming should only be done in exp. mode (2) ?? This doesn’t make sense as a beginner aircraft, having to trim and retrim. Any input would be appreciated.

You can use the Dxe with is the transmitter that comes with it with any other plane that requires 6 or less channels and yes you can use the same transmitter with the f15 or f16.

The third wire gives you the benefit of Smart technology when used with Smart chargers and ESCs (safer, easier to use, etc.)! However, that battery will also work with 2-wire "non-Smart" setups too! And other 2-wire batteries will also work with the stock "non-Smart" ESC.

I want all 3 flightmodes setup like the rtr dxe on my dx6... Mvh Pierre

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

The SAFE flight modes are assigned to channel 5/gear by default. When using a DX6, this means the flight modes will be on the 2-position A switch by default. With the 2-position switch you will have Beginner mode and Experienced mode...you will not have Intermediate mode available (most people do not mind this). If you would like to have Intermediate mode as well, you will need to use the "channel assign" function in the DX6 to change the switch channel 5/gear is assigned to from switch A to switch B. Then you will have all three flights modes on yours DX6!

If anyone is putting together this plane and looking at the comments, the Aileron plug requires some good amount of force to get it to snap into place. It will snap and you will feel it. It might seem like it goes in the wrong way, black to yellow, but it's definitely yellow to white. I believe I lost my first Aeroscout due to not connecting these well enough and they became disconnected mid flight. Not knowing what went wrong, I was unable to turn the plane around and it got so far away it lost connection. Hindsight I might have been able to use the rudder to bring it back around. Don't make the same mistakes I did!

[@curtis397]

Can someone help me out here. Why is it we always power on tx before the battery goes in and opposite when turning off?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

So you and the transmitter are always in control of the receiver and aircraft! Otherwise, if the transmitter is off and the receiver is on, interference or something else can cause unwanted commands of the aircraft including moving the control surfaces and/or running the motor unexpectedly.

[@1peanut]

I just got a aeroscout s1 and in beginner mode i have full rudder throw. in intermediate i have half rudder throw. Is this correct ?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Yes, this is correct! You have less aileron control/a lower bank angle limit in the beginner mode so you may need more rudder to make the turns "tighter" than in the intermediate mode (which has more aileron control/a higher bank angle limit). This also makes it easier to taxi in the beginner mode since you have more nose gear steering authority. You should also have more rudder throw in the experienced mode!

That means there's nothing extra you need to buy or provide before you can fly! And the fun doesn't stop after you learn how to fly! The powerful and efficient brushless power system delivers long flight times and provides plenty of speed and power to perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls and even inverted (upside down) flight. Plus, the lightweight design and low wing loading deliver a very wide flight envelope and incredible handling that even experienced pilots will appreciate and enjoy.

Can u use a dumb battery to fly it

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

You can! You just need to use a 3S 1300-2200mAh battery that's equipped with a compatible EC3 or IC3 connector.
