The trainer that taught a generation to fly now fits in your backyard. The HobbyZone Apprentice STOL S 700mm RTF scales the famous Apprentice down to a 27.6 inch span and adds short takeoff and landing ability, so a first-time pilot can fly from a yard, a park or a ball field.

It is 100 percent complete in the box: a brushless motor, 6A Spektrum Smart Lite ESC, four linear servos and a dual-protocol receiver come installed, along with a Spektrum SLT6 transmitter, four AA batteries, a 2S 300mAh LiPo flight battery and a USB-C charger. There is nothing extra to buy.

Big Apprentice Confidence in an Ultra-Micro Trainer

Searching for an easy RC plane to learn on that does not need a flying field? Exclusive SAFE technology helps prevent crashes with Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced modes at the flip of a switch, and Panic Recovery brings the airplane back to level with the push of a button. The brushless motor handles winds up to about 5 mph, the oversized tires and steerable tailwheel let it taxi and take off from grass in a few feet, and the durable EPO foam airframe is made for the learning curve. When you are ready, it will fly loops, rolls and inverted passes.

A Gift for the Next Pilot in the Family

The SLT6 transmitter has a USB-C port, so it doubles as a controller for the included trial of the RealFlight Trainer Edition simulator. Kids, student pilots and grown-up aviation fans can practice on a PC, then head outside and fly the real thing. The wing comes off with two thumbscrews for easy storage and travel.
