Buy the AeroScout RC Plane here - bit.ly/3oWaxPe This is the best beginner RC Plane that we have come across so far in 2019! We are always on the lookout for an awesome, easy to fly plane that is great for beginners to help as many people get into the hobby as possible! The AeroScout really seems to be that and then some, especially the extremely easy build process! The fact that this comes completely RTF right at $200 is just amazing to me! With the prop mounted in the rear and the landing gear being a little larger than our normal planes this size, it makes for a great grass field flyer as well as asphalt or paved runways. We think you guys are going to love this RC plane too, but be sure to let us know in the comments below what you think. Disclosure: This description box contains affiliate links.

I'm 70 and love it too. Sadly this was not the first plane I purchased but wish it were. I destroyed two others beyond repair before getting the Aeroscout. I have had great success with it. What surprised me the most is the length of flight time I get from the smart batteries, 30+ minutes is typical. Can you tell me if the DXe transmitter I got with this plane will bind with an e-flite Valiant BNF and retain the Safe select/Intermediate/experts modes?
Same here. It is my first RC plane as well. I have only gotten to fly it once due to my work schedule but I love it . Very easy to fly . Though mine is a little tail heavy and will probably have to weigh down the nose a hair . Lol
Based solely on this video, I just ordered this plane. Ive been flying R/C for over 40 years but haven’t done much the past 15. So I figured this would be an ideal plane to get my skills back!
You WILL enjoy this plane. I had been out of flying for almost a year and when I started out, I had several crashes. Broke out my trusty first generation Sensei, which was about five years old but hadn't been flown in four. Well I got one flight out of it before the rudder servo fried. Bought one of these and got my "mojo" back. The best things about this plane in my book is that first, it's a pusher, so you don't have to worry about it nosing over like a warbird or Pipe Cub type. Second is the landing gear. It handles bouncy landings well, landings that would have damaged most other planes. So have fun, you won't be disappointed.
Marty Karr Thanks Marty. I did get one and have a successful flight on it with no issues. I did stay in the safest mode but found that I needed high rate to make turns a bit tighter, so switched over to that during the flight. This thing is easy to fly for sure and it will be lots of fun.
I just want to thank you. I've raced ground vehicles for 30 years but after watching your videos, you sold me on getting into airplanes. You make them look like so much fun... Love all your videos.
I bought this plane on their recommendation and love it!!!!! I've flown cheap drones, but never a plane and this one is perfect for a beginner. I've had 3 successful flights this evening and 3 successful landings. Takes 5 minutes to put together and then your left staring at the battery charger, going come on... thrill to fly looking at it now wishing it was still daytime so I could do another flight.
You're killing me with all these cool plane videos! I'm into rc trucks and cars but you are making me want to buy a plane and try flying! Great video as always. I love your channel so much! Thank you both for all your hard work and dedication to bringing us all the information we need to love this hobby even more!
You guys seriously are part of our family and we appreciate all you are accomplishing, thank you for introducing me to the hobby ( during paternity leave) and now for content that I can confidently share with my RC addicted 6 year old and 17m old.
I bought this plane to get me started back in the hobby after about 40 years and it is so easy to fly. I have a Arrows Husky 1800 on order so a new radio was needed. Got the Spektrum DX8E before the husky. Figured I needed some flight time on the new radio so bound it to the Areoscout using the unaltered set-up for the Areoscout downloaded from Spektrum. It turns the Areoscout into a whole different plane. Much snapper in all modes with more roll in safe so the wind doesn't make your turns anywhere near as wide. All maneuvers in expert are quicker. Barrel rolls aren't lazy anymore, nice quick and snappy. Your videos are and have been a big help. Stay safe and be happy.
You guys are fun to watch and hear. Abby is just itching to fly the Aeroscout (just not on video yet). You got this girl. I enjoy your helpful comments to Nate. And, Nate you are a very good pilot. I've watched your Viper and a 3D plane videos along with many others. I take it you've been flying awhile. And, Abby's a fast learner. Keep the videos coming. Wow, you guys have a great channel.
What people use these days, for fpv flight ? There's some years I give up on this and about 2 since give up on drones also. I imagine that technology advance so much that could probably find smaller, cheaper easy to use kit's. Even now, after long time, still selling stuff from the house, remained from rc, to clean the space, so I ever going back, I will like to have something simple, ready to go, without having to DIY much as in old times. Could this carrying on an Osmo Pocket camera ?
That little beauty is packed with a ton of killer features especially for the price range. I'd love to get my hands on one of those and get back into flying that looks like a great beginner or just a fun flyer. Thanks for the fun entertainment .
Abby and Nate. I have watched almost all of your rc plane videos. And even personally asked you a question on your Instagram page which you answered fast. I’ve taken your advice and purchased the aero scout. I purchased through this video and I hope it helps you and your family. Love the family filming and now the 4 k. Thanks for all you do. God bless.
TheRcSaylors I got mine and (after charging) it basically flies out of the box. Used beginner mode for its maiden flight and it went perfectly! I did throw the switch to high rate while in the flight as I wanted tighter turns. The low rate is really really low. Great plane!
"Full flying stabilizer". Looks like a nice trainer! SAFE mode is a fantastic option for beginning flyers. Turn it off until you get in trouble, flip it on to bring everything back to straight and level. This one should help get some new people into fixed-wing without getting discouraged. Glad your club is growing!
Nice plane for the money. I think it's going on my list of first plane to buy! I live in an area that has alot of farm fields around me. Thanks again for another great video from the Rcsaylors! God bless! 🙏🙏👍👍👍😃
Gary flew that several times prior to us filming his live review of this plane. He had a blast with it at Horizon RC Fest. The larger wheels handled the rougher field we were in. Cool plane.
Been told to get this plane for my first. Have been considering it and watching videos on it but yaws video helped make my mind up. Getting it in next few weeks 😎👍
RcSaylors just recommended this plane to me as a great plane to get my wife started on. That speaks volumes considering this video is 2 yrs old. Can’t wait to try it….if she’ll let me.😜
I'm nee to this channel...I really enjoy ..how you too enjoy this hobbie...I picked one up yesterday..gonna get back into rc...I fly drones...I have a naza f450.....but once I get the rust out of my skill...the jet trainer is on my radar...lol....enjoy your channel
I’ve been considering getting into the hobby and this sounds like a good plane to start with. I plan on getting it by Christmas and I can’t wait to have fun with it.
Did pretty good in the wind, flew well. With those big tires it look like one of those Alaskan bush planes. Good flying Nate, Abby your next so practice quick. 😊😊.
I just bought this in the UK 🇬🇧 for my family 7 children ranging from 7-26... 5 still at home..... I purchased a second battery for it and I am very excited to see how they get on with it.... I may do some videos of different ages trying to fly it for the first time...
Hi Nate and Abby . I just got this as my first plane... I had a successful maiden Flight.. still need to learn to land closer to me but it's still in one piece.. I have 0 experience flying planes
Dam we have come a long ways since i was 12yrs old and got my first RC plane with the gas motor I loved that rc plane putting the gas in it and taking off with that BEAUTIFUL buzzing sound.UM UM.I JUST might have to get me one of these for the memories of it ALL. So SIMPLE and easy from when i STARTED my little gas POWERED one my first time taking it off i almost took somebody head off way on the other side of the big field i took of from i didnt know the plane was so fast . And it wasnt trimmed right but i learnt how to trim it real quick. I'll never forget that day but it taught me a lot. THEY ARE NO TOY. EVEN THO THEY LOOK LIKE A TOY THOSE PROPS ARE NOTHING BUT A SPINNING PROJECTILE.
Incredible vids, I just went and bought this plane from my local hobby shop bc of you guys. I have a few 1/5 scale cars but this is my first ever plane! Keep up the great work!!!
I really wish you would have considered buying the plane through our link since we were of some assistance. We make a small commission when you do, and these videos are hard work that are 100% free for you and everyone else. I hope the hobby shop was and is more help than us. Either way, happy flying. If you do decide that you’d like to support us for our hard work, you can sign up on Patreon! Thank you for considering supporting our channel and our family! 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors thank you so much for all your vids guys I'm making my maiden of my aeroscout today and I am now a patreon! Are there any tips that u could give me off the top of your head?
Maintain throttle while flying, and especially through banking or curves. When in doubt, throttle up for a second or two. Unless your nose is in the ground, throttle will always (almost) be your best friend! No need to burn throttle at full the whole flight though. You’ve got a great plane that is very forgiving. Just enjoy the whole process!!
Got this one 3 days ago took it out yesterday and crashed it during takeoff at full throttle almost no damage thr wheel came loose put some glue and I will try it tomorrow it still flew fine before I fixed it, I got it up in the air after I crashed it. Very durable RC plane. First time I have ever had one and I love it
Also, if you ever get a chance to drive an HPI Baja 5b, they are awesome! I had one years ago, sold it due to not a lot if places to run it, but it's a blast to drive (and build!).
Thanks for reviewing this plane! I actually bought this from my local hobby store the day before I saw Gary I Just Got Here fly it at RC Fest! You didn't mention that you can buddy box with this plane.
Nice plane. Thank you very much. I did buy this plane and i had no experience how to fly but after 2 weeks i am able to do some rolls and loops and i have a lot of fun. I built a mount for my gopro which replaced the canopy and i got some awsome videos. I wish you all the best and tanks a lot.
I got this for Christmas 2021, and just few it last Sunday, it's a very fun plane. I used a 3000mAh battery, and it did just fine. Battery needs to go as far forward as possible.
I've been thinking more and more about getting an rc plane. I have about half an acre, lined on two sides by trees, but I live next to a large crop field. I'd like to find a friendly club. The only one I know if in my area...well, let's say they did not make it very fun for even bystanders to watch. Anyway, that looks like the plane I need to start with. What seems to be the flying time? Please keep doing what you do. I look forward to your videos every day!
How much wind did you fly that plane in that day? Will it fly in winds up to 10MPH wind? Thank you awesome video. It would be great if you would tell your viewers how windy it is when your flying so that we can know how much wind the plane can take. Thank you
Reminds me of a older plane called the wing dragon 4 i had, they look very similar, but this one has much more advanced technology in it, the old one didnt have any sort of auto leveling. Very nice plane, i can see this being a great trainer. I was wondering if you guys could do a tutorial on how to repair something like this if it crashed, it might be beneficial to new pilots to know how to make repairs, and even field repairs, maybe even a small cheap repair kit you could pack with you when you go to fly.
Nice flight demo. I noticed the wing has no dihedral so that’s good but it looks to have a flat bottom wing which is good and bad. Next flight try getting some good altitude, cut all power, lock full rudder in one direction and lock alerions in the same direction while giving full elevator and you will be able to do a nice spinning downward spiral but don’t get so engrossed that you forget to let off and level out before you hit the ground. You may already know these things but if not, it is a maneuver than is impressive to the flier and also anyone watching. Look up “snap loop” and see if it will perform that as that has always been one of my favorites. Look forward to seeing your progress with this little fun beginners’ plane. And I don’t think I heard the nasty T word at all in this video. Good on ya. As always, “Endeavor to Persevere.”
I was gonna go with the sport cub but after seeing this i definitely would rather have this. It’s definitely more my size and I’ve got enough time with ultra lights on my belt.
As a pilot of a full sized "pusher" type plane remember that since the propeller is mounted slightly higher than a more conventional plane, when you add power, the engine pushes the nose down slightly. So when you add power pull back on the stick a little so as to raise the nose.
My second Hobbyzone easy to fly plane? The V tail stick with wings. Firebird Phantom, pusher prop. Flimsy compared to this Aero Scout. Can't wait to get to Great Hobbies in Mississauga, next weekend. Kid in a candy store.😎🛩️🚁✈️👍 Happy flying.
Just want to say thanks Nate and Abby. I love your videos. Very informative. I’m a beginner for sure. I’ll be in the market for my first plane ( I have a Ranger 600) and was torn between the Carbon Cub S and this one. Some of the guys say I should stay away from the GPS stuff, so I might be getting this one.
Great Video Saylors!!!! I think this is a great little plane for beginners. I have a couple of quads/drones. Planes are something I've been looking at recently... I wonder if it able to support FPV? Nate so you know if it'll support a FPV cam? Oh and what was the flight time on that flight btw?
Just ordered mine from Horizon. I was going to get the BNF but with a smart battery, smart charger and a DXe it was a great price. Tossed in a spare battery and it was less than $250 shipped. Can't wait to fly it. I'm thinking it will land on my personal little runway just fine.
That first real attempt at a loop was more of a hammerhead stall! :-) As for how the horizontal stabilizer moves rather than having elevators on the edge, that is called a "flying tail" or "all flying tail" originally, but is now more often called a "stabilator", a portmanteau of "stabilizer-elevator". Most American supersonic fighters have them...in fact, if I remember correctly, I seem to recall from when I read Chuck Yeager's autobiography, he said that the reason why the X-1 was able to be controlled in supersonic flight was because it was the first test plane with a flying tail. And that fact was one of the most top secret things that came out of the X-1 program.
Very fun plane for a beginner. I found out a few things. In intermediate, if you hold the ailerons one way it won't turn any faster but if you release and hold again you'll get a steeper turn rate. Another thing with this plane is, keep your speed up. It will tip stall in a tight turn at about 50% throttle. Personally, I found it easier to land in expert mode, but that may just be me.
Pretty nice plane very docile to fly as well, I'll be looking at a new plane soon as my trainer has done its job on 4 flights and I'm happy enough with my skill now to move up to a 4ch stunt or scale plane, sadly though I don't think I could go for anything bigger then a 700mm Wingspan because of storage, but we will see. Happy rc-ing guys 👍
Floating horizontal stab should help avoid decalage issues with that thin tail section. I hope it’s not a weak point. Looks like a good plane and should save some props and motors for beginners.
That's a really great little budget glider that I'm sure you will LOVE! Smart move by aiming for this one next. You are about to have an awesome couple of months (or longer) of RC 👍⚓😃
I also have an XK 800. It is a great glider to fly. You will really enjoy it. My next plane is a Hobby Zone Carbon Cub. Already have the plane, just need some time and weather to fly it. Good luck with the XK!
I have been flying an Apprentice STS RTF and this would have been a better trainer as during rougher grass landings the prop would be safe and the big wheels are better on a grass field. I hit the prop a few times with the STS nosing over on landing during my training and not flaring as I should have in the higher grass. This pusher prop is a lot more forgiving design for beginners. This video is great BTW!
Hey great content - I've just purchased my first plane - Aeroscout after watching your videos. Please can you tell me if you know what is the max size 3s battery you can fit? The RTF kit in the UK doesnt come with a battery Thanks
@Rick Both look like really good trainers. The Carbon Cub adds GPS for additional functionality (geo-fencing, auto-land, etc.), which is reassuring though not really necessary once you have learned the basics of piloting an R/C airplane. I’d say choosing one over the other comes down to budget and style preference. I wouldn’t say either landing gear configuration has a clear advantage in ground handling. Tail draggers, especially warbirds and short-body designs, are slightly more prone to ground looping (turning around in a circle) and can be a bit more squirrelly during taxi, but takeoffs and landings on grass (or other non-smooth surfaces) tend to be easier. Tricycle gear airplanes are nice on smooth surfaces, but can give you trouble if you forget to protect the nose gear (using elevator pressure to keep the nose up slightly/light on the wheel) and are more prone to lawn darting or flipping over forward when landing on grass (nose wheel catches). With a bit of practice and good technique, you’ll do fine with either.
I don’t think you mentioned flight time. Does it fly for 5min or closer to 10min on a 2200 battery? Thanks for doing this video. I just bought one for myself.
did horizon copy esky or did esky copy horizon? (if you dont know what im talking about the esky eagles looks just like the aeroscout, just a different paintjob)
I’ve only seen this plane flying rather fast. How are its slow flight characteristics. Can it maintain slow flight at high angle of attack or does it just drop out of the sky?
This looks like an awesome plane , I've never flown one but it really looks like fun . great job on another review , we need your experience and expertise to lead us down the right path . Thanks ...
I agree it's a great plane but it has one major flaw. T hat nosewheel has broken three times for me and the last fix involved adding a custom aluminum plate with the nose wheel disconnected from the servo and solidly mounted into the plate. It seems the only way to keep from damaging this plane. I have yet to test it out with this final modification and I hope it will work. Otherwise I will pull it apart for the parts and discard it. It's no fun flying if all you do is repair this obvious weakness. Just my take on it however....(interesting the mod didn't affect the CG much at all....)
I have the aeroScout and am a beginner. I am going to SouthCarolina for 3 months and would like to fly when there. Due to a fully loaded car, I was wondering what you thought of the Sport Club S2 as a smaller shape that can still handle some wind up to 8-10 mph? For packing, I would leave it in the box. Would the RTF or the BNF be the best option? Thanks, enjoy your videos and chatter with our wife!
I also made sure when I bought this sweet plane that that my hobby shop had replacement wings and body ,I am sure I will crash and break at some point, I am super excited with all the features of this plane
Looking to buy a beginner plane. Thinking about the carbon cub with the GPS and landing assist. Would this be a good choice or should I start with a lower priced ane
This is the same plane as the esky eagle on the banggood site minus the the battery, transmitter etc. I like it but I've just bought the durafly tundra on reduced sale at hobbyking for just over £100.00 pnf.
Some people don't like the safe mode, this has taught me how to fly without crashing, I have the mini apprentice and I'll be getting the aeroscout also now that I see how we'll it fly's Hobby Zone makes some cool airplanes my goal is to land safely and I'm doing that!

Great job Inverted, Nathan! Those high-winged planes are usually a challenge to fly Inverted.
Hey, can you see if it has an open receiver port, so I can install some [you know what comes next] LEDS?
🚨 😊
@@calvarycustoms6681 Yes it has two open ports.
I forgot you can put cow manure on it and it'll grow thicker, don't use dry patties use the wetter ones, look what it does for your grass
I has dis plane. I'm 80 years young. I love how easy it is to fly, esp. in safe mode. It is my first RC plane.

Also notice the flat top stabilator which gives you slight pitch up in neutral flight modes. Great review of a great little airplane.
Pls do some more of these beginner type planes. I want to get in to planes but dont know the best to start with.
RcSaylors just recommended this plane to me as a great plane to get my wife started on. That speaks volumes considering this video is 2 yrs old. Can’t wait to try it….if she’ll let me.😜
I just got this plane because of you guys and I love it, thank you
I'm nee to this channel...I really enjoy ..how you too enjoy this hobbie...I picked one up yesterday..gonna get back into rc...I fly drones...I have a naza f450.....but once I get the rust out of my skill...the jet trainer is on my radar...lol....enjoy your channel
I’ve been considering getting into the hobby and this sounds like a good plane to start with. I plan on getting it by Christmas and I can’t wait to have fun with it.
The AeroScout looks fun! I like the switchable flight modes! I like the styling too!
Did pretty good in the wind, flew well. With those big tires it look like one of those Alaskan bush planes. Good flying Nate, Abby your next so practice quick. 😊😊.
I just bought this in the UK 🇬🇧 for my family 7 children ranging from 7-26... 5 still at home..... I purchased a second battery for it and I am very excited to see how they get on with it.... I may do some videos of different ages trying to fly it for the first time...
Hi Nate and Abby . I just got this as my first plane... I had a successful maiden Flight.. still need to learn to land closer to me but it's still in one piece.. I have 0 experience flying planes
Dam we have come a long ways since i was 12yrs old and got my first RC plane with the gas motor I loved that rc plane putting the gas in it and taking off with that BEAUTIFUL buzzing sound.UM UM.I JUST might have to get me one of these for the memories of it ALL. So SIMPLE and easy from when i STARTED my little gas POWERED one my first time taking it off i almost took somebody head off way on the other side of the big field i took of from i didnt know the plane was so fast . And it wasnt trimmed right but i learnt how to trim it real quick. I'll never forget that day but it taught me a lot. THEY ARE NO TOY. EVEN THO THEY LOOK LIKE A TOY THOSE PROPS ARE NOTHING BUT A SPINNING PROJECTILE.
Just an all around solid trainer plane. Price is awesome. Great video. Thank you.
Incredible vids, I just went and bought this plane from my local hobby shop bc of you guys. I have a few 1/5 scale cars but this is my first ever plane! Keep up the great work!!!
I really wish you would have considered buying the plane through our link since we were of some assistance. We make a small commission when you do, and these videos are hard work that are 100% free for you and everyone else. I hope the hobby shop was and is more help than us. Either way, happy flying. If you do decide that you’d like to support us for our hard work, you can sign up on Patreon! Thank you for considering supporting our channel and our family! 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors thank you so much for all your vids guys I'm making my maiden of my aeroscout today and I am now a patreon! Are there any tips that u could give me off the top of your head?
Maintain throttle while flying, and especially through banking or curves. When in doubt, throttle up for a second or two. Unless your nose is in the ground, throttle will always (almost) be your best friend! No need to burn throttle at full the whole flight though. You’ve got a great plane that is very forgiving. Just enjoy the whole process!!
Thanks for the review. I have the AeroScout, just have not had a chance to fly it yet.
Got this one 3 days ago took it out yesterday and crashed it during takeoff at full throttle almost no damage thr wheel came loose put some glue and I will try it tomorrow it still flew fine before I fixed it, I got it up in the air after I crashed it. Very durable RC plane. First time I have ever had one and I love it
Also, if you ever get a chance to drive an HPI Baja 5b, they are awesome! I had one years ago, sold it due to not a lot if places to run it, but it's a blast to drive (and build!).
Thanks for reviewing this plane!
I actually bought this from my local hobby store the day before I saw Gary I Just Got Here fly it at RC Fest! You didn't mention that you can buddy box with this plane.
That is really awesome plane for everyone, looks a pleasure to fly with the safeguards if needed. Inspires a confident flight.
Nice plane. Thank you very much. I did buy this plane and i had no experience how to fly but after 2 weeks i am able to do some rolls and loops and i have a lot of fun. I built a mount for my gopro which replaced the canopy and i got some awsome videos. I wish you all the best and tanks a lot.
I got this for Christmas 2021, and just few it last Sunday, it's a very fun plane. I used a 3000mAh battery, and it did just fine. Battery needs to go as far forward as possible.
I've been thinking more and more about getting an rc plane. I have about half an acre, lined on two sides by trees, but I live next to a large crop field. I'd like to find a friendly club. The only one I know if in my area...well, let's say they did not make it very fun for even bystanders to watch. Anyway, that looks like the plane I need to start with. What seems to be the flying time? Please keep doing what you do. I look forward to your videos every day!
How much wind did you fly that plane in that day? Will it fly in winds up to 10MPH wind? Thank you awesome video. It would be great if you would tell your viewers how windy it is when your flying so that we can know how much wind the plane can take. Thank you
Reminds me of a older plane called the wing dragon 4 i had, they look very similar, but this one has much more advanced technology in it, the old one didnt have any sort of auto leveling. Very nice plane, i can see this being a great trainer. I was wondering if you guys could do a tutorial on how to repair something like this if it crashed, it might be beneficial to new pilots to know how to make repairs, and even field repairs, maybe even a small cheap repair kit you could pack with you when you go to fly.
I just bought the AeroScout S 2 1.1m, havent got it up yet, im itching
I'm looking for a plane to learn on .. I think this is the one for me.. cant wait for the follow up video on this
Nice flight demo. I noticed the wing has no dihedral so that’s good but it looks to have a flat bottom wing which is good and bad.
Next flight try getting some good altitude, cut all power, lock full rudder in one direction and lock alerions in the same direction while giving full elevator and you will be able to do a nice spinning downward spiral but don’t get so engrossed that you forget to let off and level out before you hit the ground.
You may already know these things but if not, it is a maneuver than is impressive to the flier and also anyone watching.
Look up “snap loop” and see if it will perform that as that has always been one of my favorites. Look forward to seeing your progress with this little fun beginners’ plane.
And I don’t think I heard the nasty T word at all in this video. Good on ya. As always, “Endeavor to Persevere.”
I was gonna go with the sport cub but after seeing this i definitely would rather have this. It’s definitely more my size and I’ve got enough time with ultra lights on my belt.
As a pilot of a full sized "pusher" type plane remember that since the propeller is mounted slightly higher than a more conventional plane, when you add power, the engine pushes the nose down slightly. So when you add power pull back on the stick a little so as to raise the nose.
What happened to the sailboat demo ?
Can you show the transmitter while flying
My second Hobbyzone easy to fly plane? The V tail stick with wings. Firebird Phantom, pusher prop.
Flimsy compared to this Aero Scout. Can't wait to get to Great Hobbies in Mississauga, next weekend. Kid in a candy store.😎🛩️🚁✈️👍 Happy flying.
Just want to say thanks Nate and Abby. I love your videos. Very informative. I’m a beginner for sure. I’ll be in the market for my first plane ( I have a Ranger 600) and was torn between the Carbon Cub S and this one. Some of the guys say I should stay away from the GPS stuff, so I might be getting this one.
I still think the dromida twin explorer is the best beginner plane. I watched you guys do a review on it and I got it and I love it. ❤️
Hey that really is a great choice for a first plane! We love the Dromida line of stuff but sadly a lot of their stuff isnt being sold any more 😢
@@TheRcSaylors yeah 😔. you guys make a really high-quality reviews. And everything you say about it is correct and makes you very trust worthy. 😀⚓😎
Might be a nice lake plane with some floats.
I'll be getting mine in a couple of days...first time flyer and I am 77 years old.
Great Video Saylors!!!! I think this is a great little plane for beginners. I have a couple of quads/drones. Planes are something I've been looking at recently... I wonder if it able to support FPV? Nate so you know if it'll support a FPV cam? Oh and what was the flight time on that flight btw?
That intermediate mode is the best intermediate mode I’ve seen!
Just ordered mine from Horizon. I was going to get the BNF but with a smart battery, smart charger and a DXe it was a great price. Tossed in a spare battery and it was less than $250 shipped. Can't wait to fly it. I'm thinking it will land on my personal little runway just fine.
thanks guys for helping me find a plane for beginners, I just bought one!
Awesome Eddie!! Happy Flying 👍😎⚓
You make it look easy Nate!
That first real attempt at a loop was more of a hammerhead stall! :-) As for how the horizontal stabilizer moves rather than having elevators on the edge, that is called a "flying tail" or "all flying tail" originally, but is now more often called a "stabilator", a portmanteau of "stabilizer-elevator".
Most American supersonic fighters have them...in fact, if I remember correctly, I seem to recall from when I read Chuck Yeager's autobiography, he said that the reason why the X-1 was able to be controlled in supersonic flight was because it was the first test plane with a flying tail. And that fact was one of the most top secret things that came out of the X-1 program.
Lol now it's on a rc plane.
Another great video by the rcsaylers ⚓⚓😁
Very fun plane for a beginner. I found out a few things. In intermediate, if you hold the ailerons one way it won't turn any faster but if you release and hold again you'll get a steeper turn rate. Another thing with this plane is, keep your speed up. It will tip stall in a tight turn at about 50% throttle. Personally, I found it easier to land in expert mode, but that may just be me.
Thanks, have flown in a long time. Maybe time to get back in. Great presentation with both of you working together.
I like you two. Y'all have the information I need to make my next toy a good one. Thank you very much!
Pretty nice plane very docile to fly as well, I'll be looking at a new plane soon as my trainer has done its job on 4 flights and I'm happy enough with my skill now to move up to a 4ch stunt or scale plane, sadly though I don't think I could go for anything bigger then a 700mm Wingspan because of storage, but we will see. Happy rc-ing guys 👍
Floating horizontal stab should help avoid decalage issues with that thin tail section. I hope it’s not a weak point. Looks like a good plane and should save some props and motors for beginners.
This is a great airplane. I have flown one a few times and I was surprised that it will fly knife edge so well. I am planning on buying one for a Fpv.
Wow am I first? Cool looking plane. Sorry I haven’t posted in a while but always enjoy your videos.
Hey it's really great to hear from you!! 👍⚓😃
Its 4:09 were I’m at and Im watching a RcSaylors vid instead of sleeping lol. Don’t tell my mom 🤫
Kyle Tomlinson “mmMOMmm, Phineas and Ferb are watching RCSaylors videos!” 😜
I bought an XK A800 tonight. I'm thinking I might add this one to the 'I'll own you my pretty' list. :)
That's a really great little budget glider that I'm sure you will LOVE! Smart move by aiming for this one next. You are about to have an awesome couple of months (or longer) of RC 👍⚓😃
I also have an XK 800. It is a great glider to fly. You will really enjoy it. My next plane is a Hobby Zone Carbon Cub. Already have the plane, just need some time and weather to fly it. Good luck with the XK!
How does the front wheel steer...? what is it hooked up to can you explain please !
I have been flying an Apprentice STS RTF and this would have been a better trainer as during rougher grass landings the prop would be safe and the big wheels are better on a grass field. I hit the prop a few times with the STS nosing over on landing during my training and not flaring as I should have in the higher grass. This pusher prop is a lot more forgiving design for beginners. This video is great BTW!
Hey great content - I've just purchased my first plane - Aeroscout after watching your videos. Please can you tell me if you know what is the max size 3s battery you can fit? The RTF kit in the UK doesnt come with a battery Thanks
It's an E-sky Eyas (Eagles) with Rx+stabilizer and a slightly different prop+motor.
Is this plane made of the EP flexible foam how many flying wings are made with? Just wondering about the durability of the foam.. Thanks
So didn't have time to read all the comments, but what do you think is better the Carbon cub+ or the Aero scout? or would you say there equal?
ive been looking at these..i like how the tires are bush plane looking...i want a bush plane...i hate the price and maintenance prices
Great flying, but the cloudy sky is awsome.
Plane is cool .,the clouds were cool too.👍👍😀
Between this and the Carbon cub s plus, which is best for a beginner?
Rick H this because the cub is a taildrager So you can have ground spin and That can really mess up your plane
@Rick Both look like really good trainers. The Carbon Cub adds GPS for additional functionality (geo-fencing, auto-land, etc.), which is reassuring though not really necessary once you have learned the basics of piloting an R/C airplane. I’d say choosing one over the other comes down to budget and style preference.
I wouldn’t say either landing gear configuration has a clear advantage in ground handling. Tail draggers, especially warbirds and short-body designs, are slightly more prone to ground looping (turning around in a circle) and can be a bit more squirrelly during taxi, but takeoffs and landings on grass (or other non-smooth surfaces) tend to be easier. Tricycle gear airplanes are nice on smooth surfaces, but can give you trouble if you forget to protect the nose gear (using elevator pressure to keep the nose up slightly/light on the wheel) and are more prone to lawn darting or flipping over forward when landing on grass (nose wheel catches). With a bit of practice and good technique, you’ll do fine with either.
I don’t think you mentioned flight time. Does it fly for 5min or closer to 10min on a 2200 battery? Thanks for doing this video. I just bought one for myself.
did horizon copy esky or did esky copy horizon? (if you dont know what im talking about the esky eagles looks just like the aeroscout, just a different paintjob)
Can you please review the wl toys Cessna F949
Is it just me or is that thing gutles
I finally just got this plane and can't wait for the batteries to charge up. My 1st plane!! Will this plane take a 4s?
What's your opinion on this plane compared to the Apprentice planes for beginners? Thx
Awesome! This might be the one I pull the trigger on for my first plane
can you suggest a beginner floatplane I have a pond on my property and I love flying off of it
I’ve only seen this plane flying rather fast. How are its slow flight characteristics. Can it maintain slow flight at high angle of attack or does it just drop out of the sky?
This looks like an awesome plane , I've never flown one but it really looks like fun . great job on another review , we need your experience and expertise to lead us down the right path . Thanks ...
I agree it's a great plane but it has one major flaw. T hat nosewheel has broken three times for me and the last fix involved adding a custom aluminum plate with the nose wheel disconnected from the servo and solidly mounted into the plate. It seems the only way to keep from damaging this plane. I have yet to test it out with this final modification and I hope it will work. Otherwise I will pull it apart for the parts and discard it. It's no fun flying if all you do is repair this obvious weakness. Just my take on it however....(interesting the mod didn't affect the CG much at all....)
I have the aeroScout and am a beginner. I am going to SouthCarolina for 3 months and would like to fly when there. Due to a fully loaded car, I was wondering what you thought of the Sport Club S2 as a smaller shape that can still handle some wind up to 8-10 mph? For packing, I would leave it in the box. Would the RTF or the BNF be the best option? Thanks, enjoy your videos and chatter with our wife!
I just bought this plane. Great review
Awesome Pete! Thank you 👍😁😎⚓
I also made sure when I bought this sweet plane that that my hobby shop had replacement wings and body ,I am sure I will crash and break at some point, I am super excited with all the features of this plane
Looking to buy a beginner plane. Thinking about the carbon cub with the GPS and landing assist. Would this be a good choice or should I start with a lower priced ane
I want to get back into RC flying again.. Stuff just keeps getting in the way.
Stuff keeps breaking for me hoping this plane will be decent
This is the same plane as the esky eagle on the banggood site minus the the battery, transmitter etc. I like it but I've just bought the durafly tundra on reduced sale at hobbyking for just over £100.00 pnf.
Some people don't like the safe mode, this has taught me how to fly without crashing, I have the mini apprentice and I'll be getting the aeroscout also now that I see how we'll it fly's Hobby Zone makes some cool airplanes my goal is to land safely and I'm doing that!
Can you fly the plane without?
