LEARN TO FLY SUCCESSFULLY

Welcome to the exciting world of RC (Radio Controlled) flight! If you've ever dreamed of taking to the skies, Horizon Hobby has you covered. We are committed to engineering aircraft and simulators you can learn to fly with successfully even if you've never flown RC before. Our purpose-built trainer aircraft feature industry-leading designs and technology developed by experts to keep you in control and learning at your own pace so you can turn your dreams of flight into a reality. Plus, for more than two decades now, RealFlight has been the #1 RC flight simulator in the world! It's the absolute best tool new RC pilots can use when learning how to fly.

This HobbyZone AeroScout S 2 1.1m and RealFlight Trainer Success Program (TSP) Ultimate Combo includes EVERYTHING you need to succeed in learning to fly – either on your own or especially with the help of a qualified instructor! And in the unfortunate event you crash while learning to fly, the TSP makes you eligible to receive up to $100 value in replacement parts per crash for up to 3 crashes (a potential $300 value) within 6 months of purchase.

Or, if you learn to fly successfully without redeeming the TSP for replacement parts, you can apply for “Success!” redemption instead to receive a coupon equal to the total value of the TSP ($49.99) which can be redeemed toward the purchase of a Horizon Hobby identified “Next Step” aircraft.

TSP is not a warranty, guarantee, or insurance policy for any product. Horizon Hobby and this TSP make no additional product claims beyond those included with the product. One customer and one model aircraft per TSP purchase. Redeeming the Trainer Success Program requires action by the customer. Must be 14 years old or older to purchase. Available for US customers only.

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!

This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes a Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter that can be used with other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Basic aircraft after you learn to fly the AeroScout S 2 successfully! It also includes a powerful and efficient brushless power system including a telemetry-capable ESC, receiver and servos – all of which are 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, Slow Ultra Stick 1.2m, the Valiant 1.3m and others!

RealFlight Included

RealFlight® is the #1 RC flight simulator in the world! It's also the absolute best tool new RC pilots can use when learning how to fly. With 8 different trainer aircraft — including 2 helicopters from Blade® and 6 of the most popular airplanes from HobbyZone® and E-flite® — plus Virtual Flight Instructor lessons perfect for first-time pilots, RealFlight Trainer Edition has everything you need to succeed in learning to fly RC because you can practice "flying" on a Windows-equipped PC computer before you fly your model at the field! This updated Trainer Edition version also includes additional features including nearly two dozen “Next Step After a Trainer” aircraft and variants plus 4 flying sites/fields that are unlockable reward content after you fly the trainer models for just 2–4 hours.

Telemetry Capable

The AeroScout S 2 1.1m is equipped with a Spektrum Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data to compatible transmitters. This includes approximate flight battery power remaining via multiple LEDs and audible alerts from the DXS transmitter included with the RTF Basic version. It will also provide motor RPM, current, overall battery voltage and more to Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20 and others) while you fly.

Extremely Durable

The unique design and “pusher” power configuration helps to protect the propeller and motor while also offering improved safety. Plus its construction with advanced EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe that's tough enough to handle everyday flying punishment without getting bent out of shape. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement parts is readily available! You can also watch videos that show how to repair or replace parts via the playlist here: horizonhobby.cc/AeroScoutSvideos

Easy Assembly

The AeroScout S 2 1.1m arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, receiver and servos installed. All you need to do is finish some quick and easy final assembly, without the use of glue or special tools, and you'll be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!

Capable Gear

The wide-stance tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel and oversized tires offers improved ground handling for easier take offs and landings on a wide variety of surfaces from paved runways to grass parks and even dirt fields.

Optional Floats

Turn the AeroScout S 2 into a float plane with the optional float set (HBZ3811, sold separately). Installation takes just a few minutes and all the necessary hardware is included with the airplane and float set.

Panic Recovery

If you lose control of the airplane in the Intermediate or Experienced flight modes, simply press the Panic Recovery button or switch to Beginner Mode and release the control sticks. SAFE technology will automatically return the airplane to level flight!

Learn to Fly Successfully with SAFE® Technology

If this is your first RC airplane, Horizon Hobby-exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology prevents over-control and crashes while also offering multiple flight modes to deliver more control and capabilities as your skills progress:

Beginner Mode

In this flight mode, the airplane has pitch and bank angle limits to prevent over-control that can result in a loss of orientation and crashes. When the control sticks are released, the airplane automatically returns to level flight on its own allowing you to relax and enjoy just 'steering' the airplane through the sky. This flight mode also makes it much easier to take off and land!

Intermediate Mode

This flight mode allows more freedom in pitch and bank, but still prevents significant over-control and the airplane does not return to level flight on its own. This allows you to make tighter turns and to climb and descend faster as your skills advance.

Experienced Mode

In Experienced Mode there are no pitch or bank angle limits so you have complete control! You can even fly inverted (upside down) and perform aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls and more.
