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.
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.
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!
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 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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
