Another thing about the Apprentice is parts are very cheap. I stuffed mine and broke the motor mount and cowl. Both were repairable, but when I saw that like $8 gets you both parts...

The only drawback of the RTF package with Dx5, at least for me, was as soon as I bought another plane I was shopping for a computer radio.

If I were to do it again I'd have gotten the bind and fly version and a dx8 or whatever right off the bat.
