kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbtyarWTxN3NaKs.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

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.

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.

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.

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 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 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌵🦠😷🇵🇷

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.

How've you been Bryan, cool that you've got a plane here nice flight ! Sorry about the crash though ! Cool looking plane I just say though!

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. 😎

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

Sorry that crash happen. Thank you for your honest review. It just may save some of us from the same fate.

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'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?

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.

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!

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

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

Great plane…love mine…Wrap your fuselages in 3m. Clear tape…it’ll save your plane to fly another day

Ha!! Nice sound effect! Oh boy... You weren't kidding it was bad. We all crash don't we? So did you get a new fuselage for it? - Lauren

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I lost my AeroScout on Monday. It was high with the sun behind and I couldn't spot it again. Is there a GPS locator accessory?

That is a tragedy. The Aeroscout is an awesome plane.

Ouch...I've crashed a few in my days lol. Should be able to replace the fuselage. Nice flying though... up until the crash.

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.

4:51 I’ve never seen someone run so fast with a GoPro lol. Hope you can get that plane up and running ASAP!

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😂

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.

We all crash one time or another. But it takes a real man to post a video of his own crash. And hopefully, we learn from our mistakes...

was the panic button not available?

You forgot to call out LANDED. Glue it back together and get back in the air.

i hope you saved the receiver and esc.

So sorry but thx! I'm shure you have improved by now. It's my turn to crash soon. ...lol

Dam still there are parts you can re use. Just learn from your crash Brian 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

It's all part of the hobby.

I'm rebuilding mine now...After same situation 👍

just a little scratch hope it'll buff out

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

It was the glue that held the whole thing together.

I’ve done that. Neither the servos or the surfaces are big enough to pull that plane out of a high speed dive

Thats what my leg looked like when i fell off my lads scooter ☹

Mode 2 throttles on the left. These planes fly slowly too.

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.

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

Flying experts mode ?

AHH!!!! Brochacho!!!

Rest in pieces little buddy!

This is why it's better to fly choppers on windy days.

It actually kinda funny because I did the same thing 😂

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.

Destroyed mine a couple days ago.

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.

New fusloge 70 dollars and back in the air

😔

Oops I meant to say, I must say.

Mime decided to ra do ly disconnect and fly to the ground

Hahaha!!!!

Not much of a review

These planes are junk. I will never buy another one.
