The E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m is a remarkable radio-controlled (RC) airplane designed for learners. It builds on the legacy of the Apprentice S 15e, which is known for its large size conducive to visibility and wind handling during training sessions at RC flying fields. The airplane's naturally stable construction, complemented by the exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, promotes successful flying, particularly when paired with an instructor's guidance. The Apprentice STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE) 1.5m introduces modern advancements while retaining the beloved characteristics of its predecessor. It integrates Smart technology compatibility, with the potential to incorporate SAFE Plus GPS-enabled features and an optional Landing Assist Sensor (LAS), enhancing the ease and enjoyment of learning to fly.\n\nThe design features a wingspan of 1.5 meters (59.0 inches), ensuring enhanced visibility and performance against the elements. The tricycle landing gear allows for versatile take-offs and landings on various surfaces and can be modified to include floats for water take-offs. Performance is further complemented by a telemetry-capable ESC, offering data such as motor RPM and battery voltage directly to compatible Spektrum transmitters. The model includes a Spektrum DXS controller with reliable DSMX 2.4GHz technology for interference-free control. The airplane arrives almost fully assembled, requiring minimal setup time and no special tools, making it accessible for new and returning pilots alike.\n\nBeyond basic flying, the Apprentice STS 1.5m enables aerobatic maneuvers such as loops and rolls in Experienced Mode. It qualifies for the Horizon Hobby Flight School, making it an excellent choice for those looking to advance their flying skills. The model comes with a Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version that includes everything needed for flight, minus the battery and charger, providing flexibility for users to select their preferred power options. With its combination of features, ease of assembly, and cutting-edge technology, the Apprentice STS 1.5m stands out as a premier training aircraft for both novices and experienced flyers alike.
