If you're a first timer, I have some solid advice for you. Get the Phoenix flight simulator for your pc. It WILL save you a lot of grief, glue, & tape. This plane does fly as advertised & the safety switch works as advertised too. but when you're trying to control an out of control plane, your instinct will be to try & save it until you finally crash. & the trainer mode does work as well, but once again, the sensation of being in control when either mode 1 or 2 on safe flight will quickly disappear when you turn off the safe mode & try to SOLO it straight into the ground. Fortunately, this is one tough bird & can be fixed quickly w/ glue, tape, & tooth-picks. the software comes w/ a cable that plugs directly into the transmitter that comes w/ your apprentice RTF package. & it has your exact apprentice 15 s plane built in already. So you can start practicing all of your crashes right away. Yeah your gonna crash a lot. Might as well do it on the computer first & get over with now, before you start tearing up your brand new plane. Right? I crashed & repaired mine several times before I decided to invest in the simulator software. The very next time I flew it after using the software was a perfectly comfortable & stress free fight w/ a slightly bumpy landing. Much funner & easier than before. You'll also want at least 1 extra battery. They run-down in 6-8 minutes & take hours to charge. But I'm glad I chose this as my first plane.... easy to fix & easy to fly. I've repainted it because of all the glue lines but all pics are of the Apprentice 15 s. Also I noticed that someone really hated this plane because it broke & was made of foam. Every plane that crashes breaks....... well not every single time but often. And I'd rather repair a foam plane than a balsa wood plane....much more difficult to fix in my limited opinion. I think that guy thought it would be easy & cheap.. It's just not, it requires practice & dedication. But it's worth it. I hope this review was helpful.Read full review

I'm very happy with the purchase of the EFLITE APPRENTICE S 15E RTF. It took about half an hour to put it together, charge the battery, bind the controls and get ready to fly it. As advertised, it does everything as per instructions provided with the product. Highly recommend it if interesting in RC planes.

Loved it while I had it. About 15 flights and no crashes. Did a ton of touch and gos. Then put some lights on and was flying at sunset and lost it in the sky not yet to see it again. Great plane just wish now it had gps.

I flew many years ago and recently wanted to get back into it. I decided on the apprentice S 15e to get started. I also bought a phoenix flight simulator and within a couple flights on that I had my skills back. I love flying the apprentice as it offers a wide variety skill levels from beginner to more advanced. It is very durable as well and can handle less that perfect landings.
