HobbyZone Fuselage with Elevator/Rudder Servos: AeroScout, HBZ3801

As any rc hobbiest knows, plane crashes will happen, and many times they can be repaired, but when it's bad enough, then something like this is the perfect replacement option! My son's fuselage blew apart but the wings and wheels were still good, so got this item, hooked everything up from the old plane, and she's been flying ever since! Highly reccommend!

Perfect...well packed and a breeze to update my beat-up aeroscout fuselage...

Generally these are well made and work great out of the box. But sometimes things don't go right in manufacturing, andyou'll get a defect of some sort. MY second to last had a faulty elevator control, and after a pre-flight systems check, I took off without a problem. As I began my turn to line up with the runway, the elevator failed and the plane nosed into the ground. I checked the control surfaces for why it went down and found the elevator was locked.The replacement for this fuselage arrived with footprints on the box, and ripples on one side of the cockpit area. I think it''s from manufacturing and not from being stepped on. I still highly recommend buying this! This newer version has reinforced front landing gear, which had been a problem in the past.

I like this item and it got my Aeroscout flying again. The transfer of the motor / prop wasn't quick and easy for me but I finally got it going. Having the servos already installed was great just remember to tighten them down as needed.

The fuselage seems fine. It arrived intact and appears to have the servos installed. However, there are no instructions and Horizon Hobby's customer support doesn't help. That might be ok in an advanced plane, but this is a trainer meant to be people's first RC airplane. If you're going to sell a replacement part for a beginner airplane, then you at least need to include instructions on how to install it and a list of the tools/supplies needed to do so. This thing will probably work when I eventually figure out on my own how to swap everything out, but minus four stars for totally negligent customer support/instructions.

Makes crashes like they never even happend, fun fact.Nose wheel is generally the first thing to mess up,Get a float set for 50 bucks, like a new plane.It's way more fun teaching kids to fly when crashes areNot a big deal, rebuild the plane in 15 min for 69 bucks.Get out there and teach a kids to fly, could change lives?

Had to replace my fuselage that was broken. This was the exact item to replace the old one.Packaged well to arrive not broken!

First flight the board snapped on a bumpy landing, not a hard landing or crash landing. Little disappointed due to the original one would have done that. The only reason I had to buy a new fuselage was from doing stunts. But now I caint even do a bumpy a landing without it breaking. The original one was amazing and durable. This one not so much
