I got an Apprentice about 3 months ago. I had never flown before and spent about 20 hour on a simulator before trying my first flight. Some experienced pilots were at the flying field and asked if I wanted any help since it was my first flight. I said I would try the first one by my self but they gave me a few pointers about ground trim before I flew for that first flight. The Apprentice was marvelous. The take off and the two circles went without a problem and I could tell they were just waiting for my first "landing". The Apprentice landed perfectly and the experienced pilots could not believe I had never flown before. Actually the simulator is a little more difficult than the Apprentice. I am now flying about half in the "beginner" mode and half in the experienced mode. The Apprentice is a great first plane and I am proof of that. Twenty flights and no crashes yet.........

You did such a great job with the review of the apprentice. I am new to RC planes. After watching your video I feel pretty confident about getting this plane. Keep up the great work. Thanks!

Was looking thru so many apprentice videos to help with flying tips and this was really the only useful one. Awesome job, thank you!

I just purchased the apprentice and I'm very grateful for your tutorials I have been very reluctant to fly it but I'm learning that it's not as critical as I think it may be. Once again thank you very much for your insight ,education as well as your expertise !!!!

Excellent review! I've been watching a lot of videos, particularly manufacturers' showing how easy it is to fly trainers with SAFE, but no one really hit on specifics like you did - the hows and whys of things to improve your skills. I was also looking at this specific plane as well as the Mini Apprentice for my second plane (my first was a Multiplex EasyStar, which I crashed beyond repair, and not very fun to self-learn on). Thanks for your very informative video!

Pro review - thanks for putting something so comprehensive together. Able to get a good feel of differences between different modes - will be getting one of these for my nephews because they can learn from your video reviews.

After watching your video I now know that I have the correct aircraft for me. I have flown it one time for about 4 1/2 minutes that was 2weeks ago . We have been grounded few to weather for the past weekends. So thanks so much making this video it’s perfect for giving first time flyers confidence that we have chosen the right aircraft.

Thanks for sharing your experience mate really help!

I just bought the rtf as my first plane. I love it.

This is a great video and most helpful for people like myself who are just starting out - so thanks so much!

Great job man. Just received mine today and opened the box. Wow. It's gorgeous. Can wait to fly it! Also bought a DX9 radio and wonder if I should wait to use it later and just use the included RTF radio now.

Absolutely awesome video. It will definitely help me in learning to fly my own Apprentice s.

I just brought this cant wait for it to come. was gonna get the ST discovery then saw this and changed my mind

great review very much appreciated!!!!

You know I have always considered the E-Flite Apprentice to be just another over priced airplane but the more I learn about it the more I really like this trainer. I had no idea it had technology that is so advanced in the RC world. I had a lot of fun learning to fly on the Hobbyzone Super Cub and have even owned a few 4 channel warbirds but never really mastered 4 channel flight. This airplane seems to be perfect for learning that. I'm seriously thinking about getting this beautiful bird with my tax return.

WAH VERY VERY NICE FLYING BHAI JI , EK DAM FIRST CLASS . NICE

I know you made this video a while ago but it is really good. I was trying to decide which plane to buy because I have not flown R/C for over 25 years. I go back to no help AM radios and crashing the planes into popcicle sticks. So after flying quadcopters for the last year I wanted to get back to my roots but had no Idea what to buy in electric. After lots of research I was still stuck between a few but after watching this review I bought one today and will have my wife give it to me for Christmas!!! Thanks buddy keep up the great workPS. I wish we had this advanced stuff back in 1992 I would have save a few crashes im sure. still I will be carful with this one

Very informative first look at the airplane I just bought. I'm what the skiing world calls a "never-ever" - so is good to know I bought the right plane.

V nice video... I learn very much. Thanks

Thanks for this demo, saving my bucks to get this plane.

Wow... I have the Apprentice but i was not awere the possibilities it has.... Man you can fly.....

Very nice video!

Great review! Love the honest explanations about it, looks like a really great beginner plane. One question, how is the C of G straight out of the box? Did you have to add any weight? I have seen one video where someone had a bit of weight toward the tail end of the fuselage... should this be necessary? Thanks for the review.

Very valuable presentation, I'd like to see more reviews with 1/ NO MUSIC! 2/ Pip of tx sticks 3/ Clear narrative...best added afterwards.

Great video. My girlfriend just bought one for me and it will be here in a week. I can hardly wait.

That's the best review I have seen! Nice flying!

Great video Voro. I actually stumbled on your knife edge tutorial (another great video) then found this one, and your channel. I WILL be watching more! 1st, how often do you do a new video? 2nd, will you ever do any videos with STOL planes? (Fun cub, Pilatus Porter) ? Not that it really matters, love the 3d also. 3rd, I'm still learning basic aerobatics (yes I'm a newbie too flying) and just after 5:00 in this video you perform rolling circles......?? lol I can see all flight surfaces are being used, but also throttle.... ?? Possible video idea.... Thanks

At the model flight club I go to, someone left a apprentice in beginner and just left it flying straight. They found the model several fields away from the field the next day

I agree that the "beginner" mode should be used to get comfortable, then switch over to the "normal" mode to continue the learning process. Like many other things getting too used to the beginner setting gets you too dependent on it.

Good video, great information, definitely great flying skills. You should get together with Scott Bixler from flitetest, a great flyer.

Fantastic video Voro! I just got the apprentice sts and put the gps and landing assist in it. I’ve flown it once and it was way too windy but I did land it well. I could not get my panic button to work before taking it up. The first time. Do you have any ideas how to test it on the ground? Thanks in advance for any help and for what you do sir.

Would you recommend a Turbo Timber Evolution . I am able to buddy box

Voro, new to the rc plane hobby just purchased my second plane the eflight commander. Was wondering if you could help answer a few questions setting up the flaps? Thanks James

Excellent stuff Voro. I'm interested in getting into this hobby and would like to set myself up with a good controller and a simulator. I've had lots of hobbies and would lean toward a controller I can use for quite a while in the hobby and I'm lucky enough to be able to afford some good stuff. I've only got Mac computers and have never had any RC equipment aside from little remote control cars waaaaay back when. Something like this plane reviewed here would be my first after I practiced for a while on sim so I would like the controller to be compatible with this plane. Can you recommend a package a new guy should consider in my situation?

So could you put a KK2 board in an existing Airplane and make it do a similar thing as safe mode ? 73 Jimmy, ARRL TS, WX9DX

I am geting one

Would you recommend a Turbo Timber Evolution? I am able to buddy box with an instructor

Your really good at flying keep your videos up I mite sponsor you Your doing Great

Can u put thum pads on the remote

How do you put into beginner mode please

@ VoroRC.......how did you super impose the Tx view in the corner of the video......thanks

have you tried doing a stall spin in beginner mode? full up elevator full left/right rudder?

Can you do a review on the Flyzone Switch/mini? What do you think about the Flyzone switch compared to the apprentice for a trainer?

Thank you

I got really interested in RC flying all of a sudden. I used to buy cheap shitty rc planes when I was a kid and always lost them because they flew out of my range because it malfunctioned or I crashed it. This seems like for the price 300 euro's a really nice plane and I know it's easy to say when you are looking at the video but it seems so easy and the gyro system makes it that way so for the price i'm itching to maybe buy one of these.

For someone just getting one, is a full sized soccer field big enough? I'm using Phoenix 5 for about 2 weeks (about 8 to ten hours) and will most likely get one when warmer.

Wow!! How did you hover it?? Please reply!!

as someone new to rc airplanes and learning how to fly on the simulator right now...can some experienced pilot explain to me what usually goes wrong when just learning to fly and offer any helpful tips .......thanks

how many Kph kan it go??

Nice trainer.

Hi, I want to start flying, I have never flew any Rc planes before, I am about to buy a plane and DX9 controller, plz help me I have no experienced in flying and those names what to do, I wanna learn to fly.

Can you hit panic button flying slow and low? I wish you would have tested that..?

4/ full description of setups, inputs, responses, etc. * Remember the Delta Ray also has SAFE and AS3X.

For me, as a beginner, it is distracting to see you perform consecutive aileron rolls or loops when you are trying to demonstrate very basic maneuvers. Thanks for the instructional videos!

I just picked one up at a thrift store for a quarter of the original price

Apprentice looks like a nice trainer but it is not a tail-dragger. Many beginners want to transition to a low wing war bird model ASAP and they need to learn use of rudder to counter torque etc. , during takeoffs

Thank you
