  • Great trainer, also crazy fun for experienced. Requires FAA registration and Remote ID module!
Great trainer, but also fun for stunts and tricks for advanced pilots, and it's a nice platform for playing around with an FPV camera. 1.1m = 43.3 inch wingspan. This is not a small airplane, and it's easy to see in the air. Flip the x-mitter to easy mode and take off, fly and land, just like in the simulator. Crazy easy for a 1st timer to fly solo after practicing with the simulator many times 1st. Highly recommend the Spektrum Ws2000 Wireless USB Dongle so you can use the included (or any) Spektrum transmitter with your PC RC flight simulator. After a couple of real flight sessions, I was able to switch the flight mode on the transmitter to 'expert' and do flips and rolls with no trouble. It was really fun to do acrobatic stuff with this plane! I'm surprised how similar it is to flying the simulator. Set it back to easy mode, and the big squishy tires and pusher prop in the back make it very forgiving for a beginner to land. I have yet to break anything on this plane after several flights as a complete novice. Just take your time, practice with the simulator first, and especially, fly in a place well suited for larger RC airplanes with lots of space. If you are in the US, BE AWARE THIS RC AIRPLANE IS LEGALLY CONSIDERED A DRONE by the FAA (yes, I know it's an airplane, but it's government, so 'nuff said), and because of its weight, you MUST REGISTER yourself and this craft with the FAA as well as purchase, install and register a Remote ID unit for this airplane, unless you fly it at one of the FAA registered "FRIA" sites, which are exempt from these rules. Again, this is airplane DOES NOT include the legally required Remote ID unit that must also be installed and registered to your craft on the FAADroneZone website. Tons of them on Amazon. I bought the tiny Ruko Remote ID unit for $30, and you can easily locate and track your RC airplane with your smartphone with free apps. Just make sure you go to the FAADroneZone and 1) Register yourself 2) register your aircraft 3) Register your Remote ID unit's serial number to your aircraft. Easy! Done! Then make sure to write your US representatives in the House and Senate and tell them how amazingly stupid it is to designate a simple, nonautonomous, foam RC airplane as a "drone" and force it to be registered, basically killing the hobby and making it harder and more expensive for kids, STEM students, and students of all ages to learn about and enjoy this technology as we have for decades in the US, without incident. If you want to avoid this, stick with aircraft under 250 grams, which requires no registration with the FAA nor a remote ID module. All in all, this is a GREAT trainer as well as a more advanced flier for stunts and tricks. You really can't go wrong with this airplane. It's also very popular for use with FPV systems. 100% recommend. ... show more

  • Best trainer money can buy
This is a 10/10 but for anyone interested in the rc plane hobby, this is by far the best trainer you can get. The size is great, it’s tons of fun, and easy to land in beginner mode. To make sure your landings are successful I would strongly recommend cutting the throttle completely and slowly bringing it down to the ground. The durability isn’t the best, but the wings can take a beating and still fly just fine. I did have to get a replacement fuselage after awhile, which runs 70$ but it’s fairly simple getting all the components out of the old fuselage and into the new one. That was after many crashes though, this is definitely the best bang for your buck when it comes to planes, you get a brushless motor, a decent transmitter, and this thing can fly fast! From what I’ve seen top speed is 50mph and the plane can reach about 400ft. Make sure to go to a big open space to fly, because of its size it’s not really a closed park kind of plane. The battery life is decent, 15-20 minutes of run time which isn’t the best but it’s good for beginners. I have never flown before and I’m happy I chose the aero scout as my first flyer! Not only does it fly with ease but it has the room to grow with intermediate and expert, and it can do all the fancy tricks on top of that. If your looking to get your first plane, this is the one no doubt! ... show more

  • Just the Best RC Trainer I’ve ever flown. I’ve been fly since 1970
Simply the Best Trainer Value out there. Just go to 3/4 throttle and it takes of by itself. The wireless buddy box option is a game changer

  • Get it to learn to fly RC planes and keep it for being fun to fly
It is such a great plane to learn on. It is easy to assemble, it flies great, the prop is protected, and it is easy to repair. You can get floats for it, and it can do acrobatics.

  • Tough, durable and flies well and taxies great
Easy to fly in rough areas without breaking a prop. Turns easily with the nose wheel and taxies great!

  • RTF = Ready to fly ? NOT
If someone like me buys a trainer RC airplane, it's probably because he doesn't have much experience with RCs... So, this someone looks for RTFs (so called Ready To Fly RC airplanes). They cannot even glide as you need to purchase a battery and a charger. Oh... there is also a little bit of assembly, but it's ready to fly, as advertised. Yeah, right ! When you look at the bad reviews for the Spektrum batteries and chargers, you look for better ratings. When they arrive, they do not fit your Hobbyzone Scout. Ayayayayayaya... Now, how dumb can a management be for not offering a genuine "Ready To Fly" airplane ? The little assembly is no big deal and there is a great video to help but having to go through unnecessary aggravation to complete the "Not Ready To Fly" airplane is very deceiving. Update : I received a Spektrum Charger and a couple of Spektrum batteries... Guess what : they don't fit ! After 4 returns, I decided that enough was enough. I am so fed up with Hobbyzone that I returned the whole package : airplane, charger and batteries. They don't deserve my money. One of the worst buying experience I have had especially for something that is supposed to be fun. ... show more

  • one awesome beginner aircraft
I love this plane and learned to fly on one before. I believe it should be everyone's first Hobbygrade rc plane of size. it can handle wind very well and is easy to repair if you do have a crash. the assembly is very easy and took me no more than about 30 min. You can remove the wings easily for transport if needed. One thing of note: The battery connector is EC3. So if you have batteries already like I do you might want to purchase connectors EC3 to whatever connector type you have so you can connect your batteries instead of having to purchase more. Or if you know what you are doing you can change the connector. I do but I still chose just to get adapters for my batteries. Awesome 1st RC plane!!! ... show more
