Great job as always. If someone has fun with $100 or a $500 plane, that's ALL that matters. Thank you guys.
You got that right! I've reviewed many planes that are hovering around $100, and they all have some shortcomings, but this plane is good for the price. I'd love to see a few features...brushless, DSXM, Ailerons, SAFE....but then it would be a Sport Cub S UMX ... :)
Just bought it yesterday for my son Christmas gift 👌👌 hope he likes it.
It's fun, and very durable ;) Don't try to fly in wind (ANY wind).
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you for the advice
thanks for the fun...I have the AeroScout for kicks and giggles...so much fun
Awesome!!!
I was excited about this plane till i found out it was only 3 channel. its still cool but not what I hoped for.
I can't say that I was thrilled about lack of ailerons, BUT it does fly well, and to be TOTALLY honest, ailerons would have made this plane fly heavier, and the dihedral more or less keeps things upright on it's own.
Got this as a birthday gift today. I can't wait to fly it
Good luck!
Seems like a great plane actually. And you can catch it like a baseball. A++
It's good; Sure can!
Cool plane. Thanks for another awsame video
Thanks for watching!
I've only been into the RC hobby for a few years but have replaced 4 ground and 3 airplane brushed motors. I'd pay some extra bucks for this plane if it were brushless but I'm through with brushed motors and for that reason have to give this plane a pass.
Great video. 👍👍
This motor is much larger than other brushed motors I've seen in this size class, BUT I totally understand your sentiment.
Thanks for the video and for your explanation. I just bought one for my sons of 7 years old
Fantastic! Make sure you're trying out the plane on a SUPER CALM day - ZERO wind :) Good luck MA!
Hello Brian and Mrs Megan aka camera. Cool mini version. My friend at the field has the full size one and it's a great plane. Thanks for the video keep flying you guys. Just having fun RC'n with friends and family. As always well done.
Very cool! I'm still waiting for my AeroScout too :(...
Hi Brian great review as always...thank you for your for taking the time best wishes Chris
No problem! Thanks for stopping by again, Chris RC!
Great video. Can't wait to see you with the new eflite blue angels f18! I hope horizon has sent you one!
Coming ASAP!!!
I would love to see you review the Extra 300. That 3D plane seems very awesome. Also The Eflite Havoc you should also review because it just seems so sick. They're both planes I am very interested in, plus the evolution conscendo but you did that one and I'm sold on it lol. Your opinion on these planes and how you go through every detail, it's s just amazing that someone like you exists on youtube!. You're videos go me into the hobby and are also digging me deeper lol. Best RC Plane reviews hands down.
I'm so happy to hear that our reviews are helping you make informed and successful pics!
As for the Extra 300 and Havoc.... Havoc maybe, but the Extra 300 - probably not. Everyone has a "style" and while I HAVE reviewed some 3D planes, 3D flying is not my first choice. I hope you understand, but don't me to be dismissive of your highly complimentary suggestion. I almost never say NO to horizon or another RC company that wants me to review an item, BUT they don't just send me anything I want to review, FYI ;)
Great video as usual. Love your area,great for flying.
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks!
A great video guys. A good little travel ( pack ‘n’ fly) plane delivery here in Oz ... probably currently around 2 months!
It's a fun plane. Low investment, simple plane!
Yes Brian, the value is there in the RTF as if you add the smart battery, trans, safe receiver & charger vs the Eagle basic... no brainer!
Well presented to you both. Spring here so once the wind eases off we can get up & go.
Regards Noel
These small planes are great just wish they review the horizon Gee Bee 😊 to see what he thinks of it.
The Gee Bee is not one of my favorites, but I would gladly put it too the skies for you if they send one ;) As I've gotten deeper and deeper into my RC addiction, my taste in planes HAS broadened quite a bit.
Case in point...I USED to think the MOA was about as ugly a plane as one could get, but now I love it - Very strange, right!?!?
Just wing it...lol! Nice little trainer indeed. Another great video!
Thanks 👍
The way I remember cg is nose heavy flies poorly, tail heavy flies once.
yes!
Hi
to you both.. Trees are starting to turn in England.Great colours. If you want a plane that flys on 850 lipo I'm suggesting the 800 ranger down side on this new scout I can see beginners getting bored with it. The original has got safe on it and it's a tuff ol bird
Best to you both
Brian
I like that line of planes. They're great too! I will eventually review that one too, for what it's worth ;)
Cool plane I personally wouldn't buy a plane with only rudder I gave up on the big Auroscout after waiting almost a month I cancelled the order and used the money on school supplies I will be trying to get it again though soon lol Great flying & vid Brian & Camera Crew 👍✌️
Fair enough. This plane is rudder, elevator, and throttle...but definitely no Aeroscout here...this is the much simpler MINI Aeroscout.
I have a Sport Cub S. Only reason I bought one of these is because I have the 1.1m 4-channel version and I wanted Little Enos to go with Big Enos. :)
LOL
You might mention that this would be good plane to teach a child how to fly. In fact, you could rate the beginner planes on how user friendly they are for a parent teaching a child the basics. Just a thought. Love your videos.
This plane would not be the easiest for learning to fly, but it is one of the more durable choices. The Sport Cub S UMX would be a better choice to learn to fly, in my opinion.

Brian Phillips you are way ahead of me! Thanks and best regards. Hello to camera crew.
Brian would you do a video in the future about storing lipo batteries safely. how you do it. and other ideas for storage, transportation etc... I'm a truck driver I bring rc stuff with me but I'm afraid of one cooking off while I'm driving and burning my truck.
I get your question, but here's the no-BS answer you've come to expect from me...
1) Fires happen...most of the time they can be avoided.
2) Don't keep old lipos.
3) If it's damaged, properly dispose of it.
4) Lipo charging bags might help ( bit.ly/35U8Etq ), BUT you might just get a 50Cal ammo Can first ( amzn.to/35SI1Fj ). The latter is heavy, and "air tight" so IF a fire happens, you'll have more time to deal with it, PRESUMABLY. This will help improve your odds of damage, but the lipo is still a lipo....
5) Cary a Fire Extinguisher (you probably already do)
6) Charge on a NON-Flammable surface. This is the biggest one...since the burn FAST and hot, but they but quick...most of the time.
7) Use SMART lipos, if you want to improve your odds of not having a fire....BUT they are NOT impervious to the risks associated with Lipos, even though they will help you better manage the risk than other brands and types.
8) Keep lipos "discharged" (at 3.80VDC per cell) if possible, as this will keep the chemistry as stable as the cells can be.
9) If you crash, might want to replace the battery (I sure don't)...
10) Be careful
11) Don't charge them faster than you have to.
12) Don't puncture, pierce, or crush lipos.
13) Be NICE to your leads.
14) Use the correct ends, if you want the best results.
15) If they're puffed, don't charge them.
16) If they're HOT, don't charge them.
17) If they're dented, don't charge them.
I see a horror story on Facebook or TH-cam once in a while, but you gotta remember, when the crap hits the fan, most will be slow to admit fault. It DOES happen, but you don't always know the WHOLE story...
Wow you should make that a video
I just bought one of these since I’ve never touched an RC plane before. I was surprised how little the rudder and elevator moves. I
It is a small movement, but when you get into more advanced, and 3D planes, the movement is CRAZY!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I can’t wait. I’m getting a P-51 next!
Hey Brian, noticed your RMH Systems shirt. We are in the same club brother. Just retired from Ford as a electrician/robot tech. Mainly ABB's and Fanuc's and running AB 5000 PLC'S. Been into robotics since 1980, couple years. Great channel. I have to learn how to fly an r/c and play piano at the same time to get more hits. Lol
Very cool! I have a degree in robotics/automation, but I work in the scale division for RMH. We didn't even have a robotics division when I started...that was back when people rode to work on horses ;) LOL
@@BrianPhillipsRC Nice. lol I'm an old fart, when I first started PLC's it looked like a TV on top of a typewriter. Why less than 1200 baud bit rate. 1979. Took all day to program 4 drill chucks to go down then up.
The first plane I flew on 4/1/20 was the Duet. I will never recommend an underpowered plane to a beginner, from my own experience. If I didn't also have the Mini Mustang P-51D with me I might have given up RC flying. With a more powerful motor the plane can be flown with a breeze and flown slow with a reduced throttle. Yes, a little more money, but a much better investment over the long run. The Duet is now just taking up space. My Sport Cub S2 now has a 2S motor and brick so I have unlimited vertical and slow flying too. So a new tractor is on order? Does that indicate another 5 hour video is coming? Haha Thanks for taking time to explain things and share your experiences, I've learned a lot from you.
JACK - I agree with your assessment. More power is desirable, except when you have the exact amount of power that predisposes the pilot from being able to flip the plane over - LOL - this was clearly, a "happy accident", but nothing more...if the plane had SAFE & AS3X, ailerons, and brushless motor, it would be a much better plane, and it would be better flying too, but I guess since HH "follows all the rules" they incur more cost per plane than the Chinese versions (XK, WLToy, Etc...) thus the "impossible" price points...but at the end of the day, this plane is good at what it's supposed to be - durable, cheap, reasonably easy to fly. That being said, get a Sport Cub S UMX and you'll fly that in the same conditions and it will live a long, healthy life. I feel like this plane is in an EXTREMELY competitive price point, but it's piers have the upper hand, in that they can make a plane with no replacement parts (aside from a spare prop if you're lucky) and claim RTF while leaving out US AC adapters, and AA batteries, among other QC issues, which are rampant among ALL the brands (At least HH will make it right...). My gripe is that this plane could be so much more, not that it's not enough. I have similar issues with UMX planes that DON'T have Flaps stock. I would be willing to pay a few bucks extra for features, BUT since I'm in a very small category, the "market" wins. I don't want to get that deep "into the weeds" on a review of such a basic beginner plane. I trust you will understand, and appreciate my position on the matter, as you've surely seen more than just THIS review ;)
Effettivamente sono utili anche su questo modello. Ma flapperoni è non tagliando per farli. Ero dubbioso ma lo farò pure io . Grazie del tuo tutorial
This thing has been a joy to fly. Even though I nose dive it every ten seconds I’m slowly learning how to fly
It's fun!!! Just remember that learning takes time. You'll make more mistakes when you're new, so keep at it, and don't give up! You can find success with more practice :)
I bought a FMS 1280 B.N.F. very similar to your mini but even after changing out the receiver to AS3X with a Blue tooth dongle for my noobie stabilization. Had a crash on my first flight and realized I hadn't uploaded the new rates to the TX from my phone. Maybe I'm making it more complicated for myself than I need to. Tony from Australia
I'm not familiar with your setup (bluetooth? Are you talking about the Programmer?), but possibly you are making it too complicated...
@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah it's the spektrum programmer app on the phone and the reciever in the plane has a bluetooth dongle that I can upload the the programmed info to the reciever, and my fault was I forgot to have the bluetooth connection made so the flight modes weren't uploaded bugger
Couldn’t you trim it at the servo just unscrew the control arm and move it over one tooth one way or the other I think that might be a lot easier than trying to adjust it at the back of the plane. 🤔. Great video Brian keep up the good work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes, you can. That's a great way to do it if you can get to the servos, like on this plane.

You know I have the UMX Radian , And it is super easy to fly. Handle winds pretty good too. I honestly think if they added all the safe and panic stuff , it would be a great trainer.
UMX Radian would be a great three channel trainer!
Brushless UMX MICRO AEROSCOUT !!!
That would be nice.
Wow. Cool
It is pretty cool!
This is a definite do not fly in any "light" wind RC. Mine crashed just like yours did. Fuselage cracked and servo makes a buzzing noise. Throttle works and rear flaps do not move after. I'm guessing replacement servo would fix this? As you said, "toy grade" probably not investing the replacement costs.
You're on the right track Drone flyer...unfortunately, a bottle of glue and a servo might cost 1/2 as much as the plane, BUT if you get a bottle of glue, I promise it will be an investment ;)
For this I'd use Mucilage or Foam2Foam. CA would work, but you'll want to stick with FOAM SAFE, just to be safe...but the CA would be the worst pick, in my opinion.
Kicker amzn.to/2CQf24D (this makes the CA set like RIGHT NOW!!! It's awesome if you use CA)
CA Med amzn.to/2D0x18i
CA Med Foam Safe amzn.to/2E2l29z (
@BrianPhillipsRC! Brian! There are no ailerons on that? How did you roll the thing?
Just with dihedral ;) But this plane is goofy. I'd highly suggest you get the 1.1m size, which is a HUGE winner, while this is one of the few planes we kinda try to forget about...to many issues.
I wish it was a bnf with a battery
Yeah, except that it's not BNF at all ;(
I bet you could fly it in your living room!
negative, amigo
Hello again! I found an Esky plane just like this here in China. Is it possible to hook up a Futaba T6K transmitter/reciever to a plane like this or are we held hostage and have to pay the higher price to get the company transmitter which seems to only come at an extra cost here and is kind of not really needed in my situation. I just want a smaller fun plane that is easy to store and carry to the field when I take my 1 and 1/2 year old boy with me. I am also looking at the Sparrow biplane which could be a good option with storage space here. You remind me of Jack Black when you smile as well as when you talk. I love your comentary and tips.
Well hello my good friend just found out that these planes are discontinued at Horizon Hobby what's up with that..???
If it is, hummm....I won't argue with them. Get a Sport Cub S UMX or a FULL size AeroScout...you'll be WAY happier!
Can you bind the mini areoscout to a NX8 Transmitter?
Would you rather get the mini aeroscout, or the WLtoys Sky King F959 (I think)
Neither??? ;)

I have tried several times and cannot get it to work thank you Brian
It is not. This uses a non-DSM2/DSMX protocol. Very disappointed in the Mini - 1.1m is AMAZING, but mini is one of the worst HH planes we've ever done. Well, let me say it like this, it's a RTF, and it does fly, but for Hobbyzone, it needed to be a better plane.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for your time.
I very much enjoy your informed videos
It would be good if you lined up 5 or 10 planes and just talked about the differences....
I could do that, but then how to I make such a comparison video searchable? You see my concern. I've done many side-by-side comparisons, but 5-10 might be pretty tough. I TRY to show differences, without pointing out which is better or worse (which is better left to the eye of the beholder...sometimes it impossible to miss).
That was a great bit of info about the battery being forward all the way or back, causing it to stall. It explained why my apprentice sts tends to stall when I slow it down. I'm going to try getting the battery more forward next flight.
I have a question though about the apprentice sts.. Is it a good idea to jam a 5000mah battery in it? Lol. I have one, it barely fits. Or is it better if I went with like a 3000 or something?.
5000mAh is pretty huge for the Apprentice. I think we were flying ours on 3300mAh or 3000mAh. If you can get it to CG out, you can fly 10,000 mah...she'd just fly like a brick ;)
Looks great! Any thoughts on the eflite valiant? Would love to see it! Happy fall.
I've been asked to review it numerous times, but just doesn't seem to ever make my lists...keep in mind, Horizon Hobby wants me to do certain planes too ;)
Hey Brian! When are you getting the Aeroscout S? I'd like to see your review of it.
I was supposed to already have it, but some things got goofed up...I will review it at some point, but I can't say right now. I was pretty annoyed, but I kinda get it. Horizon Hobby tries to keep me in the loop, but sometimes I'm the last of their "regular joe" reviewers. Maybe I'm not pushy enough, or maybe there's something else going on. It's more than a bit frustrating, but I don't want to rock the boat. We're fortunate to be working with them, and we love bringing their good quality stuff here for your consumption. We're also very lucky to have such a supportive audience.
This video is too short.......just wanted to complain like you said........he he Have to get used to the different stick functions. Wonderful price and good beginner so we will not depend on electric stabilization
.
Dihedral is the "auto-leveling" on this plane; "limited bank and pitch angles" are handled by an under-powered motor ;) LOL...but I digress. This is a good plane for what it's worth. It's fun to fly. I'd like to see brushless and ailerons...SAFE or not, isn't a deal breaker to me if the plane flies well. DSMX would have been nice too, so BNF could be achievable. I guess when HH plays by all the rules, China can deliver some more features at a lower price....maybe HH should start cheating more???? ;)
Great video. I've watched many of yours. I'd like your opinion on my second plane. I have a HobbyZone Duet. I've had it for a month and really enjoy flying it. Now I want something a little larger and more substantial. What do you think of the full size AeroScout? Can it still be flown in a smaller area - ie, baseball field or football field? Is aileron flying a lot harder? Thanks
You will absolutely LOVE it. We have a review coming hopefully TOMORROW - keep an eye out, or click the bell for notifications, and you'll see it tomorrow about 10 AM central :)
BTW Don't get the MINI - Get the REAL 1.1m version - TRUST ME!!!
Wouldn’t this be a good trainer for learning to fly powered gliders since it’s a 3-channel?
Actually not. While it LOOKS like a glider, it flies more like a trainer PLANE. I fly powered gliders differently.
Here's how I would personally describe it...
Cheap, but of decent quality.
Horizon Hobby Backed....IE, if you have a problem, they will help make it right to you.
Simple and fairly durable.
Reasonably easy to fly.
All this considered, the Sport Cub S UMX at $140 is a better plane....but it's NOT durable. Plus that's 40% MORE!!! The $100 price point is tough to hit now a days.
How is this compare to the champ rtf (also a 3 channel)
Simtube S. Pusher planes fly a little different than normal planes but they have the advantage of a protected prop for beginner pilots, plus having no ailerons prevents any roll and getting a hard bank from a breeze
Do a review on the new v1200 6s sweet plane
Coming VERY soon ;) Stay tuned!
Hi Brian, would you recommend the full size AeroScout or Apprentice Mini for first plane? I’d love to see you review the full size Aero.

...price drives most of these decisions....pay attention to size, and you will have your own answer ;)
Can it bind with a spektrum radio? Can it do loops, rolls? Does it does porpoise up and down?
No, and not really ;( It does porpoise, but it could be worse. This is a very entry level plane, almost arguably "toy grade" so I don't want to make it out to be the "Cat's Meow", because it's not... the Sport Cub S UMX is 3 times the plane this is, and it's only a few bucks more, but it's a few bucks more (40% more). and it's less durable, so that's why we have this plane as a choice from Horizon Hobby.
I don't want to disappoint HH or my audience - this plane is what it is, a toy grade, fun and fairly painless option for a novice, but it's nothing like the Sport Cub S UMX ;)

I want to fly the "big one" badly...but it's not been available to me yet. I will get one, but only after a while. Yet another victim of Covid 19 - BrianPhillipsRC's review of Aeroscout...
@@BrianPhillipsRC I have seen a few reviews and they all love how it flys .
The mini AS leaves alot to be desired...they dropped the ball on this!!!
I think this plane was a swing and a foul ball ;) It's not horrific, but it's not as good as competitive Chinese offerings in the price point. For what it's worth, it's cheap and does fly, but I think it could have been a lot better.
How does it bank so much without ailerons? Sorry if you covered that and I missed it
Dihedral (wings up in stead of level). The one wing travels farther and faster, thus producing more lift, while the other go slower and produced less lift. The dihedral also helps to keep the plane level becasue each side is trying to push into the center.
Ja Kim - It would still do some, but might be more flat. This also has to do with the ANGLE of the rudder. You can make planes yaw totally flat if you try hard enough, but in this case, they wanted the roll effect.
I got one of these for Christmas. Broke in the first 5 minutes
is this good for begginers that have never flown before?
There's a few better choices...

Is this dsmx compatible?
no, it's another protocol ;(
I prefer my porpoise...in the ocean.
LOL
Where do you get this batteries? I need some

What is dsmx and dsm2??
DSMX and DSM2 (older) are the radio protocol used by Spectrum (AKA Horizon Hobby). They're both offshoots of DSM.
Their competitive with FrSky and Futaba FHSS...
Basically, it's the structure of the communication from the transmitter and receiver. There are some additional data connections fro TELEMETRY too.
If you're new, think of it like a brand specific technology used to connect to a given plane that's BNF (Bind and fly).
Back in the day people just had crystals to change the frequency of their "Channel" and then they could fly a few planes at the same place without interfearance.
Not for a beginner. This plane is difficult to fly. The pusher prop has behavior that is not intuitive. I found it had to be hand launched power off then throttled up slowly. Has a serious desire to dive hard when the throttle is pushed up. As one reviewer said on the Horizon site, this plane is a “dreams killer”. Give this to a beginner and they’ll never learn how to fly.
I'd be lying if I didn't agree with you in part. That being said, I have THREE, and my second was light-years better than the FIRST...but still, UMX Sport Cub S2 - That's a beginner plane ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Bought one of those also! Ha! I gotta stop watching you fly. That plane is very light. First time I flew it there was a slight wind on the ground, but stronger at 25 feet. Almost blew the plane out over the pond and away from me. I had to dive it down and fight all the way back. Done for that day. On calm days this is a fun plane to fly on SAFE. When not on safe its very pitch sensitive. I got it RTF but think I’ll bind it to my NX8 if I can and work on rates to tone it down. I feel like its sensitive in all three axis, but very sensitive in pitch. There is no way to program that little RTF radio, is there? I have two kids I’m bringing into the sport. Got them the real flight sim. I’ve decided the Carbon Cub S2 1.3 and the Apprentice 1.5 are what I’ll start them on. Those are big enough to to handle some wind, easy to track visually and with SAFE, super easy to fly.
I have this rc mini Aero Scout. What a piece of junk. Out of the box I had to bind the the transmitter to the receiver.The propeller was cutting into the fuselage.This plane was flown 3 times. On the 3rd time the motor froze up. This is nothing short of disappointing and piece of junk. Personally I would never recommend this plane to someone new to rc flying.
It's been one of the worst Horizon Hobby planes we've ever worked with, which is supper annoying, since the 1.1m is an excellent option.
Sorry your experience was so bad.
Hey Mr Jefferson, WHAT??? Soo You & Wheezy Have Made Soo Much Moneys On TESLA That Your Trading Up Into A Larger New Electric Tractor? Movin On Up To The East Side, That's Very C@@L... LMAO
LOL - Yeah RIGHT ;)
my impression------------save you money------not worth the money
This is one of the worst Horizon Hobby planes we've ever done. 1.1m - AWESOME, by the way | mini- no thanks, and you'll
