Our description
The E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5 m is regarded as the standard beginner trainer and is the official trainer of the US model-flying association (AMA). The SAFE technology offers three switchable flight modes and a panic button that returns the model to stable flight; an independent review (AirMag) certifies high beginner-friendliness, and the tough EPO foam and the rubber-band-mounted wing shrug off crashes well. On the manufacturer's site buyer ratings average 4.4 out of 5. Testers are critical of the optional GPS and landing-assist modules (more of a hindrance for beginners). Depending on the variant, transmitter, battery and charger are missing.
