czcams.com/video/OUB7Rb_wi8w/video.html Check this video out guys, it’s obviously before the crash but I think I got some good footage here along with the review of the HobbyZone Aero Scout, again thanks for watching 👍
I crashed my Areoscout on its maiden flight. Similar damage, couldn't get a replacement fuselage so went at it with 5 minute epoxy, extra foam, fiberglass panel instead of plywood bed and eventually repaired it. Learned a lot including it's a great first plane, flys well and it's amazing what you can do with the right glue. Thanks Rob
I crashed mine two weeks ago also, The balsa wood bed for battery/servo was broken to many small pieces. Do you have a drawing/size of cutting an equivalent (fiberglass) panel?
@@shih-minpao101 no man to be honest I just gave up on it and salvaged the parts that weren’t broken, motor, servos etc. I may at some point venture back into planes
I did the same thing!!! However, I was a beginner (and I still am) in beginner mode and the plane wouldn’t turn enough to land on the runway in this R/C park I was in, so I panicked and made it go down, and it was similar damage to you, except, it was reparable, only one tiny nose piece flew out, and the battery holder thing flew out of place, same with the battery, and the nose gear. A tiny piece from the front of the windshield also flew off.
Yep, you were too low, especially since the Aeroscout doesn't have the best up elevator. Its also very difficult to know what the wind is doing in built up areas, especially above tree height. Good luck with the rebuild since salvaging what you can from a crash (wings, electronics in your case) and building another plane with the parts is always a learning experience and pleasure.
Glad I’m not alone! After my 12th flight I flew mine right into a barn due to a narrow landing spot and plane flying toward me, I banked in the wrong direction! Repaired and hope to fly it again. Preflight must include proper flying location in my case.
Sorry to see you crash your aeroscout, I've had a few close calls as well more than often it was my fault, yes not unless your truly an advance pilot, your really have to fly high, good news thou, its only $59 for a new body with servos, I probably have logged in more than 50 flights with my aeroscout and its been with me for close to over a year, I love the plane it so docile, and so predictable. Sometimes on a windy day, I can get up to 30min flight time just gliding. Flyin is probably the most relaxing rc hobby for me.
Yeah, flying is pretty relaxing, especially on a calm day, I will eventually get it up and flying again, got a lot of other projects going on at the moment, may have to get that fuselage though, that’s not too bad for the price
One of the characteristics that make it a great trainer in the air is its major flaw in landing. With no flaps, it has a long shallow landing approach. It is also too docile to handle winds in beginner mode. It's still one of the best beginner planes out there, just make sure you have LOTS of room and try to avoid a windy day.
The aeroscout is a great plane to learn with it's called allows you to crash it and not cry too much I also stalled it and crashed with very similar results. I ordered a new fuselage and it came within four days. 😎
Sorry about that crash my friend! I hope that your plane is already fixed and flying again!... To crash is the Dark Side of the hobby, but it'll always happen sooner or later to everyone!... It isn't necessarily pilot error every time that happens, sometimes mechanical issues arises that leads to an inevitable crash!... The important part of this is to always enjoy the hobby and start all over again my friend when 💩 hits the fan! ... Those crashes are learning experiences that will make you eventually a better pilot!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Thumbs-up for your video!... Have a great day! Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷

Hey friend, I have been flying an aero scout for over a year. I know things happen but u had plenty of time to flip it back to safe mode. I flew mine today. Got to be a little faster in the switch. Better luck next time.
I find when I fly at half throttle I typically have about twice as much time to react to a bad situation. But then again I'm retired, so I'm not in any hurry.
Thanks, yeah crashes eventually happen, it’s part of the hobby and the risk you take every time you fly, the plane itself is awesome and I would definitely recommend it to anyone, I made some rookie mistakes that day, too windy to fly, flying too low, slow reaction time etc.. live and learn 👍
Man I’ve had bad luck with this thing and went through a few of them. I find the nose gear and battery area to be particularly vulnerable to any hard landings. Any ideas on how to reinforce the underneath and battery tray area would be appreciated. Maybe a few layers of tape? I had breakage there on every one of these I’ve owned. Also beware of safe mode if you’re anywhere near trees, I fly at a very large soccer field and had a few end up in trees because of the room needed to turn this thing in safe mode. If you’re going to use flight mode 1 I suggest only using for take off and then flipping to intermediate, I’m actually thinking of getting another one because I find the price point to be the best value for the money of any RC plane. Crazy to think it’s priced similar to the flimsy UMX Timber X. Anyway yes it sure does suck to crash and take that long walk while dreading what you will see. After a few totalled planes I find it starts to turn you off the hobby. That’s why the UMX Ultrix is my all time favorite. A blast to fly (even in strong wind if you have the know how) with its incredible power to weight ratio and a simple glueing and of the nose and a broken prop if do you crash it. Finally being a pusher prop the Areoscout is loud but it’s fairly capable and If you’re a beginner I would recommend it over the Apprentice or Carbon Cub.
I crashed mine almost identically and was able to completely gorilla glue it back together! Too bad you didn’t at least try. Also, don’t be afraid to switch back to SAFE mode!
hey bud was looking to add a plan eventually and try some beginner planes even though mistakes we're made is it still a good starter plane do u recommend or should i start with the smaller and cheaper Sport cub but, I'm worried that plane is to small and not as stable as this one since im going to crash eventually lol
This is definitely a good beginner plane, I just made some rookie mistakes on this flight, I have another video flying this plane here on the channel check it out when you get a chance🤙
I wonder if its possible to make it more durable from new with a thin coat of epoxy? That's what I did with my boats. Not really adding any weight to it
Has anyone change electronic over to a new scout body. If so how hard is it. And does the new body come with front steering down to the attachment collar Thanks need help
Hey RC Reviews. That airplane as is can be repaired and fly like new again. I've seen much worse repaired and flown again! This is the big plus side of a foam airplane. I know this video is from March, hope you haven't discarded the plane. You haven't posted an airplane video since, was hoping you did not give up! Keep making great videos!
No, I didn’t throw anything away, I kept the parts that could be salvaged, I will rebuild it eventually, just haven’t got around to it yet, thanks for watching 👍
I've been flying about a year now and have had at least several dozen crashes and something like 8-10 tree "landings". My Sport Cub S 2 and UMX Turbo Timber look like they've been in combat and don't fly as well as they did new so I'm happy about that. I'm think about the Aeroscout as my next plane along with the Carb Cub S 2 and FT Explorer. What else do you fly?
Oh man, that is so sad! I always hurts to see a plane turn into a lawn dart. Next time keep that finger on the Safe like a trigger. I have used it more than once to save me from loss of orientation. Good thing this puppy is cheap. Hope you grab another and try again.
Just bought the aero scout 2.1 & crash smack into a tree. Luckily used wooden dowels & Gorilla Glue- it flys again! Lol It’s amazing how fast things can get out of control. Now I’m afraid of getting the plane caught on top of a 100ft tall tree & can see the plane but have zero chance of reaching it etc. I’m a newbie & judging the distances of plane & obstacles from a distant isn’t easy. Flyers by flight sims is easier. The camera angle of the pilot is golden. Flying RC planes is so different flying it from a fixed position. That’s like asking Air Traffic controller to fly a real Cessna from the tower.
Yeah I made some rookie mistakes on this flight for sure, it was too windy to fly in the first place and you always wanna be 3 mistakes high when attempting a maneuver, barrel rolls, flips etc. live and learn, I guess lol, I’m just getting into planes I mainly fly helicopters, drones and I have quite a few Rc trucks and cars here on the channel but there’s always room for more Rc’s lol whatever they may be, I have a flight sim too that I used to practice flying helis on, haven’t used it in a while, keep practicing and make sure your in a open field, no trees lol and you’ll get the hang of it, thanks for watching 👍
Michael, I have been there too, and picking a good location is key when learning to fly. If possible join the AMA, and a local flying club that has plenty of room, and experienced pilots to help you learn how to fly. Sims are great for practice, but they will never substitute for the real thing.
I want to buy this airplane and get the fully complete one with controller and servos. Could i re-use the servos from the airplane? I have a warbird sitting that needs servos and a controller. I was hoping when i break my aeroscout i can use the technology and servos
Well, don't feel too bad. I just crashed my sons Aeroscout into the ground after I thought I "properly" readjusted everything-- and on this windy day-- I landed in a pile of dog poop a good distance away. same damage, just covered in dog poop.
You have three choices: Easiest - Buy yourself a new fuselage and horizontal stab, transfer parts over and go flying; Next easiest - go buy yourself some Beacon Foam TAC glue and see if you can put it back together, or take what you can salvage out and trash the rest. There are other planes you can put the equipment into.
Well, here I am again 10 months later with another post. Crashed my UMX TT yet again. Got cocky messing around with spiral spins and on the 3rd or 4th time didn't pull up before hitting the ground. Broke it up pretty bad but I should be able to glue and tape it back together. I've gotten pretty good at repairing the foam and foamboard planes that I've been flying.
Yeah it was too windy that day, I was gonna do some barrel rolls and the wind kicked up and pushed the plane down into a nose dive, o well live and learn, thanks for watching bud👍
@@sawyerheslep8493 I’m not sure what you mean, if you are saying it was 50 percent my flying and 50 percent wind I would agree but again not totally sure if that’s what you meant
Yeah I thought the sound effect made it funny lol, haven’t got a new fuselage yet, I did take it apart though, I kept all the salvageable parts, kinda busy with other stuff right now but I will get it up and running again👍
Yeah I’ve been flying for a while now and was pretty experienced at the time of this video, I just got a little complacent and made some rookie mistakes along the way, it was too windy to fly that day and against my better judgment I was flying too low, 3 mistakes high is where you wanna be especially attempting certain maneuvers without safe assistance, lesson learned 🤙
@@rcreviews9894 yes I remember taking what are my prized possessions have on a windy Easter Sunday morning. Same results but this took me all winter to build so it was more emotional. Damned wind! Never around when you want it and always there when you don't. LOL
Kind of how i crashed mine, yours might look worse. I'm sorry, i haven't finished watching, did you repair it? I thought of buying a new fuselage but i didn't, next crash, lol😂
Aww man I’m sorry to hear that hope you can find it! I’m not aware of any gps locator man sorry, that’s happened to me with one of my drones, that’s unfortunate never fly near the sun, for one it will blind you and two you can lose orientation or sight of it like in your situation, good luck man really hope you find it 👍
That is unfortunate. I know Horizon Hobby does sell GPS units, but they do not come with the Aero Scout. Remember to Fly with a Spotter if you can. It helps out big time!
Crashed mine into my ankle today and snapped it a lot worse than this I have to repair the whole fuelselage safe to say I will be more careful on landing near me now
Sorry to hear that, it happens to the best of us, it’s part of the hobby, I guess that’s why I get such a rush when I fly my helis and planes lol, hope you get it back in the air soon👍
@@rchobbiesjapan2777 you should definitely get one! It’s easy to fly, a good trainer, even in safe a crash is always possible, fly in good wind conditions and always fly high enough to correct any mistakes 👍
Yeah I made the rookie mistake of letting my ego dictate my ability in high winds that day, along with a few other mess ups, live and learn, thanks for watching 👍🤙
Watching the video, I felt you were doing two things that made it more difficult to fly. You were fighting the wind with a light foam plane. Also, your speed was too fast and erratic. I fly at about half throttle most of the time. But it happens. We all crash, and we learn from our mistakes. Sorry about your plane.
Yeah it happens, this is not my first plane, I’ve flown before, I also fly helis, I just became complacent that day and made some rookie mistakes, it was too windy that day, it may look a little erratic but it looks that way when your fighting the wind, I should have waited for a more calmer day, thanks for watching 👍
Add me to the list of people who crashed on the first flight. Broke the front gear. I fixed it by reinforcing the plywood battery floor with a large popsicle stick. Hopefully my second flight will go better.

I’m just torn between this model and Arrows Trekker. Have you flown it also? Which do you prefer?
It actually kinda funny because I did the same thing 😂
Yeah it really is, that’s why I made the explosion sound effect lol
This is why it's better to fly choppers on windy days.
Or the UMX Ultrix…just let it kite on the wind.
This one is not good in the wind. I've had a few close calls with mine.. I only fly in advanced mode and if the wind picks up I'm done. Thanks
Yeah I made the rookie mistake of letting my ego dictate my ability in high winds that day, along with a few other mess ups, live and learn, thanks for watching 👍🤙
Watching the video, I felt you were doing two things that made it more difficult to fly. You were fighting the wind with a light foam plane. Also, your speed was too fast and erratic. I fly at about half throttle most of the time. But it happens. We all crash, and we learn from our mistakes. Sorry about your plane.
Yeah it happens, this is not my first plane, I’ve flown before, I also fly helis, I just became complacent that day and made some rookie mistakes, it was too windy that day, it may look a little erratic but it looks that way when your fighting the wind, I should have waited for a more calmer day, thanks for watching 👍
was the panic button not available?
Yeah it was lol, but I switched it into safe which usually works a lot faster than the panic button but not this time!
That is not destroyed! Glue it back together and put it back in the air! I've had way worse when I was a beginner flyer.
Destroyed mine a couple days ago.
Yeah, sorry to hear that, just learn from it, crashing is inevitable, happens to us all at some point👍
Add me to the list of people who crashed on the first flight. Broke the front gear. I fixed it by reinforcing the plywood battery floor with a large popsicle stick. Hopefully my second flight will go better.
😔
Yep it happens👍
New fusloge 70 dollars and back in the air
Mime decided to ra do ly disconnect and fly to the ground
Oops I meant to say, I must say.
Hahaha!!!!
Not much of a review
That’s because it’s not a review video, if you wanna see a review check out my video titled “Aero Scout good beginner plane” thanks for watching 👍
@@rcreviews9894 cool thanks =)
These planes are junk. I will never buy another one.
