  Just flew in a landing and wheel issue happened is there any step by step instructions for the video because I didn’t see how to take the wheel out and not sure how to reattach the servo

  @MrDougstudАй бұрын

  I'm sorry I have no written instructions for what I explained in the video. Although if you take the battery hatch off and look at the tray you'll see the three screws that loosen the whole nose gear mechanism. Unfortunately unless the foam is destroyed on the underside where the gear exits the bottom you'll have to cut the foam to remove it. Good luck!

  I'm sorry again but there are many things that can go wrong with the nose of this airplane and without inspecting it closely I'd be hard pressed to offer any constructive advise on fixing your AeroScout. My recommendation would be to find someone that knows the airplane well or if you belong to a club ask someone in the club. If you don't belong to a club it would be a good idea to join one, this is where you'll learn the most and get good help. Good luck!

  @MrDougstudАй бұрын

  Depending on the damage there are many possible fixes that could need to be done. My fix was to make the whole mechanism operate better without doing any reinforcement to the bottom of the plane. Like I said in the video the manufacturer of this plane used the underside of the fuselage to support this gear and when the foam gets damaged the gear doesn't work properly anymore. Now you can work to repair the underside or you can fix the mechanism. It's your choice, many guys support the gear by beefing up where the gear exits the bottom but I didn't do it that way and my gear is still working perfectly. My suggestion is to watch a bunch of videos on KZread and decide what fix best suits your need. Good luck!

• 
  @MrDougstudАй бұрын

  Yes do this fix and don't waste your time reinforcing the underside of the fuselage. If you fix the mechanism and it's securely mounted to the underside of the servo tray you'll be just fine with the wire gear sticking out of the bottom of the fuse.

  @weseehowcommiegoogleis3770Ай бұрын

  No offense but you did nothing to Fix the issue. The torque of the landing gear on the small area of What's no better than packaging material is the flaw. The portion that was made into the foam needs to be stabilized and given a much larger plate to resist those forces. I'm an old Tin Knocker and some Aluminum of the right thickness and covering the bottom of the whole nose area should fix this and not add to much weight. A good fitment and a light layer of E6000 adhesive will make it Stay for sure.

• 
  @MrDougstudАй бұрын

  I'm sorry but I don't understand how you could say I did nothing to fix the issue? I eliminated the nose gear slop by fixing the mechanism not by reinforcing the bottom of the fuselage. This is exactly what's wrong with this design, they relied on the fuse to stabilize the gear and as soon as it gets weak everyone ends up with the same problem. I'm sorry but my fix solves that problem so even if you have an open hole on the bottom you still have a strong operational gear. My fixed gear is going strong and so are the others who have applied this fix. But hey different fixes for everyone is good.

  I had just purchased a brand new aeroscout and wound up in the hospital before I could fly it. Looks like a good time to fix it when I get home before any damage.

• 
  @MrDougstud4 ай бұрын

  You could but since it's brand new I'm sure the foam fuselage has got the nose gear feeling kinda sturdy. Unfortunately right now in order to do my fix you may have to break the gear out of the bottom to get it out. If I were you I'd wait until you've had enough rough landings and you notice it getting pretty wobbly. Whatever you decide good luck and have fun, the AeroScout is an awesome little plane.

  I'm sorry I have to respectfully disagree. This nose wheel design is crappy right out of the box. As soon as you begin to stress the structure of the nose wheel area on the underside of the plane this thing starts to wobble miserably. The best way to fix it is to fix the mechanism itself and not rely on bracing the foam or adding any other support. Thanks for the input and watching.

  My wreck was as bad as yours. The only reason I repaired mine was to punish myself for making such a stupid flying mistake. Put in an upgraded Metal Geared Servo on the landing gear. Also for some reason mine pulled down while under throttle,even before the wreck, so I had to program a Throttle / Elevator mix. Fly’s better than new now. Lands like silk. Great video, by the way.

  @MrDougstud Жыл бұрын

  Thanks I'm glad you liked the video. It was simple flying but wanted to make it easy to follow. Great idea using the metal gear servo, never a bad idea on a punishing nose gear assembly. Don't really understand the diving problem unless you just needed some up trim or could have threaded the clevis in on the elevator pushrod a bit. Whatever the reason I happy you solved your problem and enjoying your AeroScout again, it's a terrific little plane. Since the one I repaired is not mine and I didn't crash it I hope the next time I see it it's still in one piece and I get to fly it again.
