The HobbyZone AeroScout S 2 1.1m is the perfect trainer because it makes learning to fly an RC airplane easier and more fun than ever before! It's equipped with exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology that helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced modes allow you to choose the level of stability and control you need, or are ready to try, at the flip of a switch. Plus you can instantly return to steady flight using Panic Recovery with the push of a button! Its unique "pusher" power configuration offers improved safety along with better propeller and motor protection, and it's built with advanced EPO material that makes it extremely durable. Oversized tires and a steerable nose wheel make it easy to take off from and land on a variety of surfaces including grass at large parks, soccer and other suitable flying fields. Or install the optional floats (sold separately) to fly from water!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes everything needed to fly in one box except for a battery and charger. This allows you to choose a convenient and money-saving Spektrum Powerstage bundle or the separate battery and charger you prefer! Plus the included Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter can be used with other Bind-N-Fly (BNF) and BNF Basic aircraft after you learn to fly the AeroScout S 2 successfully! A Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic version is also available for experienced pilots who want to use their favorite Spektrum transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own. And for both versions, the powerful and efficient brushless power system including a telemetry-capable ESC, receiver and servos, are all factory-installed in the durable EPO airframe that assembles quickly and easily without the need for glue or special tools.
And the fun doesn't stop after you learn how to fly! In the Experienced Mode, the AeroScout S 2 is capable of performing aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, inverted (upside down) flight and more. You can even use the same DXS transmitter that's included with the RTF Basic version, along with the same battery and charger you use for the AeroScout, to fly a variety of BNF Basic version "Next Step" aircraft including the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, the Valiant 1.3m and others!

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.

All the reviews are exceptionally good for this airplane and rightfully so. Well designed RTF and easy on your budget. It is very stable for the beginner but when in full enable mode is plenty aerobatic for the experienced flier. In beginner mode you line it up with runway, cut the power, and with very little input from the pilot it softly lands. The Specktrum transmitter and receiver that comes with this set is really nice. I dont see how they sell it so cheap. If this is your first RC airplane you will be very happy you bought it. Dont forget the 3S battery and a good charger.

Excellent flyer. A few of my friends had this and I thought it would make a excellent FPV airplane. I was right. It is so smooth and stable. I use it for FPV flying,,,,, what fun,, just like being in a airplane.

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.

This is a great RC plane for beginners into the hobby, it is NOT a toy, do not expect 10 year olds to be able to operate it like me. But I still had fun flying this. Only complain is the lower sensitivity mode combined with beginner mode gives very little control authority to the plane, especially the aileron control, that makes the plane really hard to turn in this combination of modes. So make sure if you are on beginner mode, to set control sensitivity to full instead of half sensitivity.
