AeroScout S 2 1.1m RTF Basic with SAFE
Introduction
The HobbyZone® AeroScout™ S 2 1.1m makes learning to fly an RC (radio
controlled) airplane more fun and easier than ever before! It's the perfect trainer because
it's very durable and is 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. It also features Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight
modes so you can choose the level of stability and control you need at the flip of a switch. The
"pusher" power configuration and EPO construction make it more durable than other similar
class models. Tricycle landing gear with oversized tires and a steerable nose wheel makes it easy to
take off from and land on a wide variety of surfaces from pavement to grass – or you can install
the optional floats (sold separately) to fly from ponds and lakes!

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 that you can learn to
fly with successfully even if you've never flown RC before. Every HobbyZone®
aircraft we offer features industry-leading design 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!
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!
You can also purchase the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator and a Spektrum WS2000 Wireless
Simulator Dongle (both sold separately) to fly this and other models using the transmitter included with
the RTF Basic version! The simulator features many of the most popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraft
and built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons. This helps new pilots learn to fly successfully by
practicing on a PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere else!
