Hobbyzone AeroScout 2 1.1m SAFE BNF Basic

SAFE Select™ technology for beginners

AeroScout S has integrated intelligent SAFE™ (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, which maximizes flight safety and ensures a smooth flight. At the same time, it maintains full controllability of the model, so the pilot has a feeling of maximum safety. The latest technology for safe flight training not only ensures a calm and stable flight (AS3X), but also has a function to launch the model into horizontal flight at the push of a button. If the beginner gets into an unstable position, just press the button and the model will automatically go into a horizontal position. When the button is released, manual control is immediately restored.

One of three flight modes can be selected for control:

• 
  
• The beginner has limited tilt with the elevator and ailerons - up, down and right, left, and when the levers are released into neutral, the model aligns in a horizontal position, this function can also be used during take-off and landing. The start is simple, just give full throttle and let the model take off from a suitable surface. When landing, just align the model in the right direction and then pull the throttle. In this flight mode, a mix of ailerons is set to rudder and elevator and throttle and elevator. SAFE does not allow the angle of inclination to be exceeded in a corner and when climbing (approx. 30°) and descending, while this function intervenes proportionally in the steering.
  
• Advanced is already allowed more tilt when steering, more freedom is given when steering the model and therefore faster turns with a smaller radius can be made. The model no longer aligns to a horizontal position when the levers are released into neutral. In this flight mode, the rudder mix is set to ailerons. Up to an angle of inclination of the model of approx. 50°, steering is natural and is not affected by the SAFE function. However, after the permitted tilt angle is exceeded, SAFE intervenes immediately, preventing further tilting and preventing further tilting. It is an advanced piloting lesson, where the natural steering is unlimited up to a certain tilt angle, but the model cannot be turned on its back. In case of emergency, the model can be completely stabilized in horizontal flight by turning the flight mode switch to position 0.
  
• Expert has no restrictions on flight positions and it is possible to perform acrobatics. There is no longer any mix or SAFE function and control is completely free.
  

Bind-N-Fly version

Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplanes make it easy to prepare for flight with a ready-made model airplane with a Spektrum receiver. The power system, servos and Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver are installed, so all you have to do is pair the receiver to your compatible transmitter, complete final assembly and fly (transmitter, battery and charger sold separately).

Telemetry option

The AeroScout S 2 1.1m is equipped with a Spektrum Smart Lite controller that can provide compatible transmitters with a range of real-time power system-related telemetry data. Telemetry provides motor speed, current, total battery voltage and more for Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (including DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX20 and others).

Durable construction

The concept of the model with a push engine arrangement perfectly protects the propeller from damage during a careless landing and reduces the risk of its damage. The entire model is made in molds and foamed with super light and very stiff yet flexible EPO material. It withstands extreme loads during the training of a new pilot and can withstand such shocks, which, for example, mean severe destruction in the case of a wooden structure. If the material breaks, it is excellently glued with 2-component Epoxy and after a while you can be ready to take off again.

Simple and quick assembly

The Hobbyzone AeroScout RC airplane model comes in a box where the individual parts of the airplane are stored. All these parts are completely ready for final assembly and have the necessary electronics and drive installed, so just use a few screws and you'll have a finished model on your table in no time. Before you charge the battery, you will have the model ready to fly. Look in the manuals for the Quick Start link.

Sturdy chassis with big wheels

The wide, stable three-wheel chassis with large wheel tires and steerable bow wheel will have fun! Takeoffs and landings will be much easier. Therefore, you can use the model on lower quality surfaces that the wheels will handle safely. With a 3-wheel chassis, it starts better because it is stable when starting, does not run off course and steers well.

Optional floats

Turn the AeroScout S 2 into a seaplane with an optional set of floats (sold separately). Installation takes only a few minutes and all the necessary material is included in the airplane and float kit.

Recommended batteries

We recommend a 3-cell (11.1 V) LiPol drive battery to power the model.

• 
  
• For light weight Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 11.1V 1300mAh 30C IC3 with IC3 connector with Smart technology.
  
• For economy flying Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 11.1V 2200mAh 30C IC3 with IC3 connector with Smart technology
  
• For maximum performance Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 11.1V 2200mAh 100C IC3 with Smart technology
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Recommended chargers for conventional LiPol and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC models of airplanes or helicopters, or to charge your batteries from other manufacturers, then we recommend the following chargers:

• 
  
• Network charger Spektrum S155 with one output 1x 55W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1100 with one output 1x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2100 with one output 2x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2200 with two outputs 2x 200W .
  

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators can, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity for a long driving time. Conversely, the LiPo battery is especially susceptible to mechanical damage.
