Apprentice STS 1.5m is a large, stable trainer aircraft designed to help new pilots learn RC flight with confidence. Built on the popular Apprentice S 15e platform, it uses SAFE technology to guide beginners through Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes, with an optional SAFE Plus GPS upgrade for AutoLand and other guidance features. It’s available in BNF Basic and Ready-To-Fly Basic configurations: the BNF Basic version comes as a factory-installed airframe with a brushless power system, flight controller, receiver and servos, with battery and charger sold separately, while the RTF Basic package includes a Spektrum transmitter so new pilots can start flying right away.
With a 1.5-meter wingspan, the Apprentice STS offers excellent visibility and wind tolerance at the field. The durable EPO airframe remains lightweight yet tough, and the wing attaches with rubber bands to absorb impacts. Assembly is quick and glue-free, and ground handling is easy thanks to wide-stance tricycle gear with a steerable nose wheel. Optional Landing Assist Sensor and floats expand its versatility, while the Smart ESC provides real-time telemetry to compatible Spektrum transmitters and, for learners ready to advance, SAFE Plus adds AutoLand, Virtual Fence and Holding Pattern for added confidence.
