AeroScout Elevator Movement with AS3X
I thought I would pass this information along.
I asked Horizon Hobby about specs for the tail movement, as none are listed in the manual or on line for the AeroScout. Note that the entire horizontal stabilizer acts as the elevator, not just a tab off of the stab. The elevator moves very little, probably less than 1/4". Here is their reply
...there is not a specification for the elevators we list for travels. However by design the elevator will move less for the aircraft as it is the design of safe. This is a trainer aircraft. If you do not like the travels you can update the receiver to unlock it and thenuse a forward programable transmitter and put in a custom program that has more travels. Your supplimental information is correct about the servo. THe servo will move when off 180 degrees, when using a test rig the…

Why I Put the FAA Registration On My Planes
Someone at the field asked me why I put my FAA registration on my planes and make the comment that no one really cares if you have that on there. So I went back to the FAA web site to make sure I wasn't giving a wrong answer.
It is required that all recreational UAVs have the registration number on the outside of the UAV. See: Rule 8 at https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_flyers . Note that it states "drone", but drone is defined as any UAV, including fixed wing.

RadioMaster TX16s MK II - Learning
I noticed this forum hasn't been used yet, so I thought I'd post something.
I'm new to the club, new to RC airplanes, and new to RadioMaster. A deadly, or at least an expensive combination. So far, I have crashed two planes, one multiple times with no real damage, and the other so bad that it was technically still in one piece, but only if you lifted it carefully.
I learned a lot from those few crashes and will be out to the field next weekend to crash some more.
The TX16S was bought somewhat on a whim, but after some research and talking to one of the club members. There's no real manual for this thing and no written instructions on line, but there is a lot of videos. So far, I've learned to bind it with three different receivers, implement some low/medium/high rates, implement arming switch (on motorcycle…

The learning curve on this hobby is steep. It's tough enough to learn one transmitter much less an additional system. Some of the club members' acumen is down right scary. And they all got to where they are through the brutal school of trashed aircraft. You ain't alone, Bro'.

I had wondered about that when I first fired up my AeroScout. I thought I had a faulty servo. No one at the field had mentioned anything about skimpy elevator throws. I recklessly maidened without learning the truth but was happily rewarded none the less. The AeroScout is a surprising platform. Cheap. Tough. And UGLY...
