As have this one now for several days will mention...

I've had the Apprentice well over a week now, several flights, its indeed a great flyer, love its size, tempting Night Flights, success so far....

Goes together extremely fast so be sure to charge the large lipo upon opening the box, only slight issue is the nose wheel, flex the cowling abit to tighten it in, no problem really, rest is just hooking servos already installed and adjusting the linkage, prop is pre-attached, wheels pop right in other than the mentioned nose gear, really a RTF unit ready to go...

Flights I find I use just over half to 2/3rd's throttle for best take off, some elevator and she goes up almost immediately, nose down slightly if needed and keep it straight out, very predictable flyer, plenty of power on the brushless, and ailerons as 4 channel, best to have a seasoned pilot on maiden flights, too much investment to lose on the first attempts...it is highly forgiving, will take some abuse, wheels won't come off on bumpy landings as the smaller parkflyers, this one is certainly heavy duty....you'll love it...BEST..<>...

Pssst, also this is not my first plane, many afraid its not quite the beginner because of the rather strong brushless motor and additional ailerons giving 4 channel, even its size is larger than many of the parkflyers, example with this strong of motor unaware newbie for one thing is likely to stand it right up on its tail stalling right into the turf, its glide ratio is rather long, so need some room at least on the maiden flights, so find an instructor and yep, its an excellent choice, Spectrum tech a bonus on high frequency a winner...<>..
