by E-flite

Introducing the E-Flite Apprentice STS 1.5m BNF Basic Smart Trainer with SAFE – the ultimate RC airplane trainer engineered for both newcomers and experienced club instructors. Developed from the legendary Apprentice S 15e platform, this 1.5-meter (59-inch) wingspan aircraft offers exceptional visibility and robust wind handling, making it an ideal choice for RC club flying fields. With Horizon Hobby’s exclusive SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, pilots can choose from Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced flight modes to gradually build confidence and skill. The aircraft comes equipped with factory-installed Spektrum Smart components, including a powerful brushless outrunner motor, Smart 30A brushless ESC, Spektrum 3230 flight controller, and Spektrum 4650 serial receiver, all housed in a durable, lightweight EPO airframe that assembles quickly without glue or special tools.

The design not only makes flying easier and safer but also opens the door to advanced features. Upgrade to SAFE Plus® GPS-enabled technology for AutoLand, Virtual Fence, and Holding Pattern features, or add the optional Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) for smoother landings. Capable of aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls, and inverted flight in Experienced Mode, the Apprentice STS also accepts optional floats for water takeoffs and landings. Whether you’re a first-time pilot, a seasoned instructor, or part of an RC club training program, the E-Flite Apprentice STS 1.5m is the smart, reliable choice endorsed as the Official Trainer of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA).
