The E-flite Apprentice S 15e RTF with DXe is a highly capable trainer that makes learning to fly more accessible and more confidence-inspiring. At its core is SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, providing spatial awareness, flight envelope protection and a dedicated panic function that instantly returns the model to level flight if you lose orientation. Multiple assistance levels can be reduced as your skills grow, while the stable handling helps tame windy conditions.
Assembly takes minutes, and the quiet brushless power system delivers long, enjoyable flights. Durable Z-Foam construction shrugs off everyday bumps, while wide-stance tricycle landing gear and steerable nose wheel make ground handling straightforward. As your flying advances, the Apprentice S is happy to perform loops, rolls and inverted flight. You can also explore water take-offs and landings by adding E-flite Apprentice S Floats (suggested compatibility).

The E-flite® Apprentice® S 15e RTF airplane is the most intelligent RC airplane ever offered by Horizon Hobby. At its heart is groundbreaking SAFE™ (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology that makes RC flight incredibly easy, even for the least experienced user. Its combination of spatial awareness provides flight envelope protection which adds a degree of security never before available, while its smooth flight capability battles windy conditions so that all you feel is control that’s crisp and responsive. Multiple levels of flight envelope protection are provided that can be reduced or removed as your skills progress, yet the “panic” feature is always there to instantly return the model to level flight if you ever lose orientation.
Requiring just minutes to assemble, you’ll appreciate how its quiet brushless power system delivers outstanding performance with long, enjoyable flights. Plus it’s built to last from lightweight Z-Foam™ material that’s tough enough to handle everyday flying punishment without getting bent out of shape. After you’ve mastered the basics of flight, the Apprentice S is capable of performing a complement of aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls, and even inverted flight. You can also turn the Apprentice S into a great floatplane by simply adding the specially designed E-flite Apprentice S Floats—sold separately.
