Learn to fly the easy way with the HobbyZone AeroScout S 2 1.1m RTF Basic, a rugged high-wing trainer that pairs exclusive SAFE technology with a full copy of the RealFlight Trainer Edition flight simulator, so you can practice on your computer before your first takeoff.

This updated AeroScout comes ready to fly with a Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz DSMX transmitter, a Spektrum AR631+ receiver, a brushless motor, a 30A Avian Smart Lite ESC and four servos, all installed at the factory. Add a 3S 11.1V 1300 to 2200mAh LiPo battery with an EC3 or IC3 connector and a compatible charger, and you are ready for the field.

A Trainer That Forgives Mistakes and Grows With You

Asking what is the best RC plane for a beginner who wants to keep improving? The AeroScout S 2 answers with Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes at the flip of a switch, plus Panic Recovery at the push of a button to bring the airplane back to level flight. The pusher prop sits behind the wing, away from the ground and your hands, and the durable EPO foam airframe shrugs off the bumps that come with learning. Oversized tires and a steerable nose wheel make takeoffs and landings on grass easy, and when your skills grow it will fly loops, rolls and inverted passes. A 1300mAh pack keeps it light and lively; a 2200mAh pack stretches your flight time.

A Gift That Gets a Future Pilot Off the Ground

For the student pilot, the aviation fan or the grandparent who always wanted to fly, the AeroScout S 2 is a complete first step into radio control. The included RealFlight Trainer Edition software lets them build stick skills on a PC before a single real flight, and the 43.1 inch wingspan is big enough to see clearly in the sky yet small enough to fit in the back seat.

Order the HobbyZone AeroScout S 2 1.1m RTF Basic from PilotMall.com and add a 3S LiPo battery and charger to your cart so it is ready to fly the day it arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the AeroScout S 2 a good first RC airplane?

Yes. SAFE technology gives you Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced modes plus Panic Recovery, and the pusher prop and durable EPO foam airframe are built to survive the learning curve. It is a real radio control aircraft, so younger pilots should fly with an adult.

The airplane with brushless motor, 30A Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC, four servos and a Spektrum AR631+ receiver installed, a Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz DSMX transmitter, a full copy of RealFlight Trainer Edition software, the manual, a quick start guide and a pre-flight checklist card.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. The RTF Basic version needs a 3S 11.1V LiPo battery between 1300 and 2200mAh with an EC3 or IC3 connector, plus a compatible LiPo charger. Both are sold separately.

What is RealFlight Trainer Edition?

It is an RC flight simulator for your PC that includes popular HobbyZone trainers and built-in lessons. Practicing on the simulator first helps new pilots build confidence before flying the real airplane.
