by E-flite

Product Description
Experience next-level RC flight training with the E-Flite Apprentice STS 1.5m Smart Trainer w/SAFE. Building on the legendary Apprentice S 15e platform, this state‐of‐the‐art trainer features a generous 1.5‑meter (59.0‑inch) wingspan for enhanced visibility and stability—even in breezy conditions at your local club field. Designed with both beginners and experienced instructors in mind, its integrated Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope (SAFE) technology offers three selectable flight modes: Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced. A dedicated Panic Recovery mode instantly stabilizes the aircraft, reducing the risk of crashes and building confidence in every pilot.

Under the hood, a powerful brushless outrunner motor paired with a 30‑amp telemetry‐capable ESC delivers outstanding performance, while real‑time telemetry data (motor RPM, current, battery voltage, and more) is transmitted seamlessly to compatible Spektrum AirWare‑equipped transmitters. The durable yet lightweight EPO airframe assembles quickly—without glue or special tools—and its wide‑stance tricycle landing gear ensures smooth takeoffs and landings on grass, dirt, or pavement. For those looking to expand capabilities, optional upgrades like SAFE Plus GPS‑enabled features (AutoLand, Virtual Fence) and the Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) provide additional safety and flight precision. The RTF Basic package includes a Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz DSMX transmitter and all factory‑installed electronics and servos, making it the ideal starter kit (battery and charger sold separately) for club training programs and first‑time pilots ready to advance their skills.
