Durable Design
Construction with sophisticated EPO product delivers a lightweight yet long lasting airframe that's tough enough to handle daily flying penalty without getting bent out of shape. The wing connects to the fuselage with elastic band to twist or "pop" totally free in case of a difficult landing or crash to lessen damage. And in the regrettable event you damage any airframe parts or parts and can't repair them, a complete line of replacement parts is readily available.

The Apprentice STS 1.5m arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, flight controller, receiver, and servos installed. All you require to do is complete some quick and simple final assembly without glue or unique tools, and you'll be prepared to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!

Optional Floats
Turn the Apprentice STS 1.5m into a floatplane with the optional float set (EFLA550; sold separately). Installation takes simply a couple of minutes, and all the needed hardware is consisted of with the plane and float set.
 



Optional Landing Assist Sensing Unit for Smoother Landings

Easily Upgrade to SAFE® Plus GPS-Enabled Technology
With quick and simple setup of the optional Spektrum GPS Module (SPMA3173; sold separately), you can include next-level self-governing assistance features that make it even simpler to learn to fly. With SAFE Plus included, you get:

AutoLand
Triggered by simply holding down a button, the sophisticated AutoLand function puts the plane on a supported technique to arrive on its own near the GPS initialization point. You can even offer some directional assistance to avoid barriers or to change the technique while letting the system do the rest to carry out a safe landing. As your abilities development and you get more self-confidence, you can take control of more control inputs, ultimately learning to land with no help from the automated system.

Holding Pattern
This advantageous SAFE Plus-exclusive feature allows you to "stop briefly" the flight by putting the plane into a GPS-guided holding pattern. When triggered with the quick press of a button, the airplane will instantly return to a position above the GPS initialization point and circle until the command is canceled with another quick press of the button. It's a great method to securely hand the controls off to a buddy or gain back visual contact if you ever forget the model.

Virtual Fence
It's simple to unintentionally let an RC plane fly too far away, but with Virtual Fence, worry say goodbye to! It develops an invisible boundary the plane won't fly past. When the plane reaches this boundary, it will instantly reverse and fly back towards the GPS initialization point. Then it will "wag" the wings to let you know when you have control again.
