- This is the BEST RC beginner plane I've. In this video I talk about everything about the plane: SAFE system, flying, and technicalities.
Go watch the flight review here:

I just got the apprentice sts newest model and Im really loving it. I haven't flown in over 25 years and its very easy to fly and great to train on.
One of the best descriptive reviews on this plane I have seen. Thanks
Thanks Voro for all your help with everything! I have now got Phoenix v5 and it is great. I have this plane and it is and it is amazing, especially because I can use it in the sim. Sometimes I use performance planes and use some of the of the tutorials from your other videos to just freestyle and have some fun. Thank you for all your help and you have been a massive inspiration for me. Keep up the good work!
your video shows the scale of the apprentice the best out of all I have watched.
nice video and a great help, surface uk
thanks very good review
very nice model I would recommend for beginners
Awesome review 👏 👌 👍
Great job. This airplane deserve every single dollar paid for it. Perfect for beginner with safe system
I agree with you 100%!..., that's why I upgraded mine with Dragonlink...Feel free to visit my channel and watch my recent videos. I recommend you the ones called... "Round trip among the US / Mexico Border " , " Flight to the Edge of the Perrilla Mountains ", and the one called " Flight to the D-hill part 2 "...There are much more, but as an example of the potential of this plane, I recommend this ones. Greetings from Douglas, Arizona.
Thanks for the Show and Tell on the SAFE system. I think you are the only one who has taken the time to give a good on the ground demo of how it works. The manual and even Googling for the information really does not help.
I hit the like button and subscribed also clicked the bell plus I ordered an apprentice s 15e rtf after watching some of your videos I ordered 3 extra 2s 3200mah 20c lipos what batterys and connections do you use do you use
Can you do the same overview of the apprentice STS with safe and safe plus? That would be great! Really enjoyed this video.
Super Review, hope you do a lot more, because you cover a plane well. Both the narrative and flight were 1st class.
I feel a new FPV build coming on.... This will be great when I hand off to my spotter (son Greg) who is still pretty inexperienced - he can click on the assist and all is good, even if it's hands off for a minute, and as icing on the cake, he can use it to learn on.
I've been meaning to aquire a Spektrum 5 or 6i to use on the Ember 2 indoor plane, and so I can get a UMX Beast and maybe the wacky space taxi thing. So, if you subtract the cost of the radio (which I had to buy anyway), and divide by multi-tasking - (it's at least 3 planes for the price of 1) I ask - how,,,? -- I mean just how can I (in good concience) NOT buy one of these for the fleet?
I sincerely thank you for saving me all that money.

Hi, I've been flying my Apprentice for the last couple of months using the included DX5e. But I just bought the new black DX6 and I'm programming it for my Apprentice. Do you have any recommended settings, such as for expos? Also, do you set the aileron servos to more than 100% on your DX9? I see your rolls look much faster than mine.
hey my good friend this was an awesome video this plane is the one I have always wanted I never flown before but I'm on disability because of a bad motorcycle wreck I'm in a wheelchair and it's a money thing right now so I was going to ask your opinion what do you think about the Cessna 182 55.5 wingspand I found one for about 1:55 and 1650 ship so about 175 total I didn't think that was too bad and I did reviews on the plane that seems to be pretty good what do you think about that if you have any good input this was a great video man I enjoyed it I watched it from beginning to end I think eventually I will end up with the E flite apprentice but as of now the Cessna 182 the money situation thanks again good friend for a great video
Hi Voro, Great video. I'm new to this hobby. I have a DX6i which came with my Phoenix Simulator. It can only be programmed with two switches. Can I program the gear switch mix it with my Mix1 switch for the third switch?
Thanks!
Nice review, where can I get a 4" square mount like you used? That's exactly what I need to mount my vid cam. Tell me where I can get one!!
Thank You for your Video on the Apprentice.
Thanks for the great video. Im new to r/c flying and I purchased the apprentice s 15 e.i purchased the Thunder Power 5000 mah g8 pro lite + battery 3-cell 11.1v (55.5Wh) 25 c. Will this work in this aircraft? Once again, thanks for he vid.
Can you make a vídeo of how you mounted the go pro please
I see this plane on Amazon and it includes a F-400 transmitter. As I am just getting into this hobby, is the included transmitter going to be one I can use in the future with other planes? I was thinking of getting a FlySky FS-i6 transmitter. Does this plane come without the F-400 TX?
Hey!! I'm not a RC flyer but I thought it would be great to learn along with my 9year old son. (More for him). Would this be a good plane for him to start with at his age?
This is really an outstanding video - where do these six aholes come from that gave the video a thumbs down? What more could they have possibly wanted in the video? :(

Hello I new at this. I wonder if it is possible to connect a radio 8s this plane and I have 3 nodes and panic button.
I race rc cars and I have had some incidents involving turning the transmitter of before the car...
I just purchased and assembled the E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m. All is going well but I'm confused about the rubber bands. My kit contained 8 rubber bands for the wings and the instructions state to install 8 rubber bands on the wings. This doesn't seem right because I don't know that I can fit all 8 rubber bands on the 4 posts. So I went out on the internet and it looks like you only installed 4 rubber bands which seems more appropriate. Do you think 8 rubber bands is a misprint or overkill? Other STS videos only show 4 rubber bands on their aircraft. Thank you, Jason Boche
Use as many as you can, otherwise..........
my new plan won/t come down when I push the stick forword I have the aprintest 15 e did range check still don't/t work I can walk to it in range check still
don/t work out of range check works fine .
Great video, but you forget the panic mode.
@VoroRc. I bought this airplane & it does not perform as per your video.
First off after SAFE initialized in "Beginner's" mode, the self leveling mode works fine but there is no "down" elevator with stick pushed down/forward. All other controls work okay with 'reduced' travel/deflection.
In the "Intermediate" mode, the self leveling is "still active" with the controls surfaces still in a reduced travel/deflection. Same situation when "Advanced" mode selected. This airplane seems to be 'stuck' in Beginner's" mode. I contacted Horizon tech support & could not get this problem resolved.
I'm not confident to fly this airplane without some assurance that every function is correct.
Can you help? Please let me know. I can post my email address.
whats a good 3d plan
Nice review, but if dealing with lipos, ditch the factory charger and get your self a descent digital charger. Charge/discharge the battery a few times before its first use, monitor it feels right, no overheating. Get a lipo bag, and if you dont have one, have a bucket full sand, and/or charge the battery outside or the garage. Rarely lipos go bad, but there is always that one battery, and lipos ignite like gun powder, mostly so a 3S.
I mean, when I see just planes costing $300 +, then I see this plane with transmitter cost $270, it makes me wonder if the plane and/or transmitter are any good.
How many rubber bands did you use??
Use as many as you can. I use 12+, the more the better and the safer. You can use the ones that Walmart sells, the #64 rubber bands. Those are way better and cheaper than the ones that comes with the plane. You can visit my channel and watch my recent videos. You will have an idea of how many I use. You don't want to fly with just a few and have them breake in mid air due to the stress or the sun....and see your plane's wing flying away... better safe than sorry... use common sense. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Mine didn't come with a screw driver
Why don't you turn off that annoying buzzer ? Or is that something you have to listen to if you want to fly this plane ?
please can u advice me. what is the biggest battery i can use for it.
Is incredible how people post reviews and then forget to answer questions from their viewers. .. that's wrong... Anyway my friend, The biggest battery I have used in mine is a 5000maH. That monster battery gives me 20+minutes of flight time. It fit perfectly in the battery compartment.

What os the prive of this airplane
$299
It’s NOT a remote it’s a radio! It’s not used to turn TVs on and off. RC stands for Radio Control!
How much?
$ 279.00. With sales tax mine came to $ 303.00
Price
$299
Build is a term that should never be used with any foamie. You assemble the pre-made parts, no more. To say build denigrates the real model builders.
Dude, do your homework before say something like that... there are people that builds foamy planes from scratch too...Type Flite Test here in you tube and learn. Those guys could make any plane from a pile of Styrofoam panels...Check their channel and learn.
....you mean a REAL builder like you? Why then are you watching a video of a rubber-band plane?
I thought you read the manual? You DO NOT need that many rubber bands lol...
I just purchased and assembled the E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m. All is going well but I'm confused about the rubber bands.

This doesn't seem right because I don't know that I can fit all 8 rubber bands on the 4 posts. All other Apprentice photos and videos I can find show only 4 rubber bands installed. 8 rubber bands seems like overkill and probably won't fit. Thank you, Jason Boche
