    Even if you’ve never flown a radio controlled (RC) airplane before, the HobbyZone® Apprentice® S 2 1.2m is designed to make learning to fly with a more “traditional” trainer easy and fun! It’s an updated version of one of our best-selling trainer aircraft - the Mini Apprentice S 1.2m - and is scaled down from the larger E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m design so it’s more affordable and more convenient to fly at large parks and sports fields in addition to typical RC flying fields. The Apprentice S 2 is equipped with Horizon Hobby's exclusive and innovative SAFE technology, making it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully. Beneath its durable exterior, pilots will find an efficient brushless motor along with a telemetry-capable ESC plus a Smart battery and charger (battery and charger sold separately for the BNF® Basic version). The wide-stance tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel and oversized tires offers improved ground handling for easier take offs and landings. Optional floats can also be installed for takeoffs and landings on water!

    I just wanted to say Thank You for this video. When searching for "Learning to fly RC" there are actually very few videos which actually teach you how to handle your first flight. This video is exactly what a new flyer really needs to learn. Say "Hi" to your dad for me. I liked his wrap up. Good teaching will tell you what you're going to learn. Show you what your learning, and then tell you what you just learned. You guys hit all 3.

    Excellent video... Kudos to you and your dad.
    I flew the AMA pattern back when I was in my 30's. Now, at 76, I'm getting the urge(s) to get back in the hobby. While I am considerably slower and out of practice, I'm getting the exact aircraft you recommended.
    One thing from my past: Just remember that take off is optional and landing is mandatory.
    Thanks again from Las Vegas.

    SUPER INFO on video. I am in the process of buying an Apprentice. I am just waiting to hear back from Horizon on a question I emailed them yesterday. Thank you so much for creating this video as I just came across it. I will be watching the assembly one shortly. This came up on my UA-cam area as it probably picked up the info from several searches, on Horizon, for the Apprentice, batteries, accessories, etc. from yesterday. Rich

    I keep my bands over the prop then I know I've got them, another little tip for beginners is to put a mark on the wing and fuselage to make it easy to line up, some great tips for a beginner, nice one 👍

    Thank you for this video. Great explanations and the video with the controller during flight is exactly what I was looking for. I'm starting a new High School Aviation class this Fall and we'll be using RC planes to demonstrate and practice the principals of aviation. I've picked up an older used Apprentice S and will learn on that this Summer so I can work with the kids. Thanks again!

    Kudos to your Dad and the videographer for helping to make this a great video.
    Do you recommend using a sim program to learn basic muscle memory before the first flight? Would you buy the transmitter (the DXs) separate from the plane and the RealFlight evolution sym? (I think the plane comes with a DXe transmitter). I believe the DXs can be used with the sim software.
    All the best to your channel. Would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

    The hobby zone super cub 2 is hard to beat as a trainer as well, at half the price. It is a bit smaller but still has all of the safe/expert modes as the plane in the video. If you have your own transmitter the plane will even send telemetry data. For around a hundred bucks its really a good little durable first plane to train on and enjoy

    Wesley, I 100% agree. The Apprentice line from Eflite is some of the best models to learn to fly on. I got back into the hobby flying the original 1.5m Apprentice and not look back. 😊

    Funny name Merry Boozers, because the one thing you DO NOT do is drink while flying!
    Great video perfectly explained.
    I myself recommend the real flight 9.5 simulator and also the hobby zone carbon cub it's a great starter plane as it has every thing the Apprentice s. has but also has GPS as well!!
    And is available in BnF or RTF choices.

    So I just caught the bug a few days ago and ordered all my favorite Freewing 64MM fighter jets of Motion RC and I've never flown an RC plane..... I race RC offroad and some oval but never in the air. Think I am going to pick one of these up at my local hobby shop to practice and just build the jets for now. This seems to be more beginner friendly than the Carbon Cub S? Really wish I bought the Carbon Cub S Chandra Patey limited edition on black Friday when they were down to $249 locally as they came with everything and simulator software. Sadly looks like their discontinued now.

  • @lennyz853
    @lennyz853 2 роки тому

    Good job! My main concern is when you put the wing on are there any marks to show me the wing is in the right position or do you have to measure it to the tail? Does that apply to the sts to?

    • @MerryBoozerRC
      @MerryBoozerRC  2 роки тому

      There is a plate in the middle that you just line up. You could also make a mark at the middle to line up if you wanted to

    I really like your videos - very informative and hands on. I need some assistance, maybe you or someone may have an answer or some guidance for me. I'm new to this hobby and I am happy that I made a choice to get an Apprentice STS 1.5. I put it together after reading the manual and watching many videos, including yours. Once the aircraft is powered up, all controls operate correctly, Safe operates correctly, but I get this annoying loud squeal. It stays most of the time but sometimes it quiets down. A better description of the noise is similar to a real passenger aircraft when hydraulics are turned on. Any suggestions? is this normal? I'm asking because I can't seam to find an answer and I do not hear it in any of your videos.
    I'm planning to join a club in the spring but for now, all is closed due to the winter cold and snow.

    • @MerryBoozerRC
      @MerryBoozerRC  2 роки тому

      is it the servo making noise? the digital servos in these models are kinda noisy hard to tell without seeing the airplane have you tried posting your question in the Merry Boozer facebook group?

    • @Jetflyz
      @Jetflyz 2 роки тому

      @@MerryBoozerRC I will check. The noise is when the aircraft is on wheels, radio on, power on and no surfaces moving using the transmitter. I will do some digging and will post on Facebook

    • @Jetflyz
      @Jetflyz 2 роки тому

      It is the servos, especially the ones for the ailerons. I can place my ear next to the servo in the wing and I hear the wining. The noise comes when there is no movement of any servos. It happens at all 3 settings, safe, Intermediate and advanced. But, the good news is it goes away after I make some control movements, sometimes repeatedly.
