Excellent video. Nice little plane to fly and have fun. Thank you Steve.

a string tied to a rock is a great way to grab the branch you want high up, and a fishing pole to cast it helps

I just flew my AeroScout into a tree yesterday. It's nosed into a set of branches about 75ft up at my local golf course lol. Plane Retrieved!! Amazingly the tree service guys were there today and my buddy who works there asked them to grab it for me!! Still flyable after a little CA glue

Trees are EVIL!!!

Great review Steve, I could actually see kids enjoying this. Thanks 😅

Usually if I’m flying these small cheap park flyers I always have my fishing pole with a small weight and I practice my casting skills (when I crash in a tree that I can’t climb or on the roof of a house, if I don’t have a ladder)I know my neighbors look at me funny but it’s practical, I have a drone but not large enough to fish it from a tight spot

Wow! A video posted in the afternoon. Good job Steve. That plane is TINY compared to what you been flying.

Absolute classic drone retrieval. I sympathize with your situation 😮

My jaw dropped when you were heading towards that pole. We've all had a grumpy tree eat our planes🍺

Tu m’as bien fait rire, en essayant d’attraper l’avion dans l’arbre, ça me rappelle des souvenirs avec un drone

Very cool! Thanks for including these tests of more beginner friendly setups. I've been keeping an eye out but even though it's incredible what you can get these days for a few hundred dollars, I wanted to test out something in the "oh, what the heck, why not!" price range first, and this little guy seems to fit the bill. I'm in for one! Thanks for the coupon code!

OMG Captain!!; forget about the "Jedeye, Jedie, Jedy Steve" Blooper!!!; that was very very funny!; I have a pole extender (from a Camping tent!!) just like Joes and ahhh hemmm, have had to use it a few times retrieving Drones from trees !!!

Very cool...

Love the intro!

Flip the gear so it's wider it really helps

That was hilarious. You got to get one of those extension poles to keep in your truck. I keep a 16 foot one. Comes in handy.

Wo dee why nobody has built a RC replication of the original capone fattie plane..it's the reason we have jet engines it's so important

If you will bend the wheels a little further forward, it will stop it from nosing over.

Unfortunately you’d have to bend them plenty or takeoff/land on a smooth surface

I'm not much of a model plane pilot but if you ever decide to donate a drone I seriously want to be a the top of the list...

it got yeeted

I just got this in the mail today and I tap the button to change the rate of which it turns but instead of it making it turn faster It dove down from 30ft and crashed into the ground breaking the gearbox. 😮‍💨

hey steve i know you fly alot of rc planes do you know whats the best rc plane that is not to big mabye 1or 2 feet long that can do flips and stuff like that has alot of features like so the wheels retract landing stuff likre that it also has to come with the remote and have at least 10 min flight time and under preferably under $200 if its a rewally good one $250 any ideas ohh and if possible so it wouldnt be foam if not foam is fine but if its really good $300 max

Check out my review of the AEROSCOUT. It is perfect for beginners. It is the plane I learned how to fly RC planes.

I spray painted my airplane black because I couldn’t see it in the sky lol I spray painted on the side BJ-69 Chode 😂

like that😂

A cute novelty at best.

Do you apply full throttle when you hand launch? I tried my very first flight this morning. I hand-launched and it promptly crashed. I picked up the pieces then went back to the car and reassembled the plane. I then noticed the prop was missing. I spent the next 45 minutes looking for the prop. I eventually found it. One lesson I learned was when it crashes, find the prop immediately then move on to repair the aircraft. But, why did I crash so quickly? I didn't have time to get my hand back to the controller. BTW, thanks for the video. Well done!

@CAPTAINDRONE798

10 ай бұрын

You crashed due to your hand launch technique and also due to you not quickly pulling back on right joystick. You give full throttle at launch. My advice… get someone else to hand launch for you and you just focus on keeping the plane in the air. Once all is good and you have the flying skills down, then go back to hand launching yourself.

I've never known one of these "Fattie" planes to be for beginners. They tend to fly too fast to maintain lift. Colour me skeptical. It's a bit disappointing that the code only works from the US warehouse, so Canadians are excluded.

It looks Difficult to fly, not sure how such a small winged plane can fly

@CAPTAINDRONE798

10 ай бұрын

It practically flies itself. You just need to make it go up or down and turn. Everything works in slow time for beginners.

This one is not a beginner plane despite having the gyro. I know that's how these fatties are being marketed & they are super cute, but for all intents & purposes, I wouldn't recommend this for a beginner. At least to get the type of fun flight out of it that these companies are touting. You have to fly it faster to keep it airborne thus decreasing reaction time which is not ideal for a beginner. The wing's too small & it doesn't have a rudder. There's not enough control authority & the servos are indeed slow, getting the correct CG is tricky, too frustrating to get it off the wheels, the supplied tx to rx connection is spotty at best---please try it with DMSX sat rx to it & use your own tx. Yep it's cute, but shouldn't be used exclusively as a trainer. Fatties are just novelties that many hobbyist like to mix up the madness a bit. Most pilots will tell you, however, that they do not fly well at all. Stability gyros or not. I have one, but have yet to fly it. I have the same tx & will be trying one of my Spektrum serial sat rx. Have fun, y'all!

I have these at my flying field and we let the young kids fly them (ages 6 to 9), and they have no issue. It all comes down to simple hand/eye coordination.

4:12 ....... *Flies model for 10 seconds* "So how does it fly, you ask".......not sure you can give a definitive answer to that after 10 seconds of flying it......

This is not fast at all. However if you find you have terrible hand/eye coordination (worse than the average human of age 35 or less) then it may be too fast for you, especially if you are in your 40s or higher and have zero hand/eye coordination skills. In that case you could still fly it easily, but you’d want to be in a big open field over grass and away from obstacles.
