Based on one of the very best platforms ever designed for learning to fly radio controlled (RC) airplanes, its large size and 1.5 meter (59.0 inch) wingspan offers better visibility and the ability to handle more wind while learning to fly at an RC club flying field. Its inherently stable design plus SAFE\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology featuring Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes makes it easy to fly successfully, especially with the help of an instructor. The addition of exclusive Spektrum™ Smart components including a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and charger make it more convenient to charge properly and safely (battery and charger sold separately for the BNF\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e Basic version). And best of all it now has the option to upgrade to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology that offers features such as AutoLand and Virtual Fence, plus the option to install the all-new Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) that automatically \"flares\" for smoother landings, to make learning to fly—and to land safely—easier than ever!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BNF Basic (Bind-N-Fly Basic) version is for experienced pilots and clubs that want to use their favorite Spektrum transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own. The powerful and efficient brushless power system including a Smart ESC, plus the flight controller, receiver and servos, are all factory-installed in the durable EPO airframe that assembles quickly and easily without the need for glue or special tools. There is also a Ready-To-Fly Basic (RTF Basic) version available that includes everything other than battery and charger and is the perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot. The Spektrum DXe 2.4GHz transmitter included with the Ready-To-Fly Basic (RTF Basic) version can be used with other Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) and BNF Basic (Bind-N-Fly Basic) aircraft after you learn to fly the Apprentice STS. .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd the fun doesn't stop after you learn how to fly! In the Experienced Mode, the Apprentice STS 1.5m is capable of performing aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, inverted (upside down) flight and more. You can even install the optional floats to take off from and land on water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Apprentice STS 1.5m is the smartest and best club trainer ever, and that makes it perfect for first-time pilots, experienced pilots that teach others to fly, and for club training programs alike. That's why it's the Official Trainer of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and the best choice for new pilots seeking a larger trainer that makes it easier to progress into more advanced RC airplanes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on one of the best platforms ever designed for learning to fly radio controlled (RC) airplanes—the Apprentice S 15e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for first-time pilots, experienced pilots that teach others to fly and club training programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficial Trainer of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and many clubs worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ideal choice for new pilots when learning to fly with an instructor at an RC flying field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive SAFE\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e technology from Horizon Hobby makes it easy to learn to fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasily upgrade to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology to add AutoLand, Virtual Fence and Holding Pattern features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional and easy to install Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) available for smoother landings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-installed servos, Spektrum flight controller and serial receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columns col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful and efficient brushless power system including a Smart ESC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide-stance tricycle landing gear with steerable nose wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick and easy assembly—no glue or special tools required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable EPO construction that's tough yet lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional floats available for flying from water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice flying this aircraft in the RealFlight\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e simulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HORIZON HOBBY DIST.
