Review summary

AI-generated content
This 2nd generation Apprentice is a fantastic trainer or club trainer, but it is overpriced and underpowered. It has some mechanical problems, such as decals that pass over hinge lines and the lack of a rudder and aileron. It also has a weak battery bay and a thin, plastic floor. Additionally, the instructions are not always clear and the battery bay is a bit too small for the standard battery.

Pros

  • Good for training
  • Functional and well-built
  • Easy to use
  • Comfortable seat
  • Adjustable wingtips

Cons

  • Overpriced
  • Low quality materials
  • Short battery cable
  • Inconvenient bottom hatch
  • Limited maneuverability

EXQUISITE SCALE DETAIL: Construction with advanced EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe that's tough enough to handle everyday flying punishment without getting bent out of shape. FAST AND EASY ASSEMBLY: Quick and easy assembly-no glue or special tools required BIND-N-FLY BASIC: With BNF Basic products you can use the transmitter of your choice and bind it to the Spektrum 6-Channel Receiver included with this model. UNMATCHED CAPABILITY: The wide-stance tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel offers improved ground handling for easier take offs and landings on a wide variety of surfaces from paved runways to grass and even dirt.
