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.

[@johncrumpley8702]

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.

[@bpwoltz]

I am in the hospital recover from back surgery for the next few month but am anxious to try this plane for the first time. I flew fixed wing actual aircraft until a few years ago and have NEVER flew an RC. Now with this video i have the confidence.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

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 👍

[@eqrc7587]

Nicely done Boozers !! Thanks for the tips and advice. Hope all is well, and I loved the radio camera 👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻

[@timrussell1559]

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

[@cjctucson7683]

This is a great vid. I have been watching stuff for about 3 weeks and my Aero Scout just arrived today. I would say this is the BEST of all the first flight vids with a SAFE setup RC plane. Thanks!!!

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Aeroscout is also fantastic I tell everyone to choose between the two of them

[@tylergoforthmusic]

11:11 is the best! haha! Thank you for this video, very informative and awesome review!

[@john9663]

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.

[@richarddonahue3565]

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 KZbin area as it probably picked up the info from several searches, on Horizon, for the Apprentice, batteries, accessories, etc. from yesterday. Rich

[@lindenstewart4404]

That's some good demonstration and explanation of a first time pilot flight lesson Merry Boozer, very well done 👏

[@brucewitt1513]

Thank you friend for a really informative video just what I needed for my first flight with my new mini apprentice. Really enjoyed it.

[@ralphhowing3473]

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.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Great video, perfect people to give advice on how to fly. Some nice tips 👍🏻

[@bbronaug2]

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!

[@larsjungnell1969]

En mycket, mycket bra instruktion video, jag är just där och dellär mig mycket, har just köpt ett FMS super Ez v4 så denna video hjälper mig otroligt mycket, tack, ❤❤❤ Mvh Lasse

[@IN10THRC]

Thanks for an informative video. I'm a drone pilot but have never flown a fixed wing aircraft. I'm picking up a used Apprentice on Wednesday, and I found this video while looking for... Well, this video, really. Thumbs up!

[@Dogblock]

I landed and the propeller-snapped off and the whole back in peace snapped too off it’s very easy to break.

[@jlarson42]

Very informative and helpful video. Already bought the horizon hobby carbon cub rtf kit. Your video is the most helpful to me as a beginner. Thanks 🤓

[@Cult1022]

Just bought and flown one of these (76$ used) and it's great! The first rc plane i ever flew, and i landed it pretty nicely. I flew about 3h RealFlight sim though before trying the real thing...

[@davestell7390]

Great video for newbie pilot !!!🙌👍

[@davidhoneyman4716]

Brilliant Thanks for Sharing

[@sausageroll2043]

Wanted to say thanks, as this helped me very much, this taught me not to panic. Thankyou 👍

[@tastyweat]

Thank you for that, I'm just about to head out for my first attempt :)

[@haroosudra4081]

Nicely explained, thank you

[@davidhoover8877]

thanks for posting

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

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. 😊

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Totally agree!

[@keithroberts6978]

Really enjoy my mini apprentice

[@EJ-74]

Great trainer This and the AeroScout in my opinion are the best trainers I have the AeroScout If I can fly it anybody can lol Nice vid guy's 🔥👍✌️

[@lambertodgr8]

Where I fly, I'm the only English native speaker So I found this realy great .

[@aheis1313]

Thanks i am stoked you used split screen to see control i am struggling with rudder throttle but seeing it might help it was a huge difference then just seeing the air plane.

[@Charlvdwalt073]

Thank you Appropriate video 🎉🎉

[@ringofthebrave]

I wish that these kind of aircraft were available when I learned flying.

[@MichaelMaduske]

GREAT video, thx! Question, first time pilot, go with this one or the AeroScout?

[@luisperez3758]

How long of flight time does a fully charged battery last?

[@COURTNEYCOLE1000]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO,,YOU EXPLAINED THE CONTROLLER PERFECTLY,,MY DXs transmitter WILL BE HERE SOON,I REALLY DON'T HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF RC PLANES, IM A DRONE PILOT BUT,I WANT YO LEARN " RC" ITS IN THE MAIL WITH MY DOOGLE WS2000,LOOKING TO LEARN MORE FROM WATCHING YOU!! THANKS DONCOLE OF LINCOLN NEBRASKA 👍

[@dutchloveRC]

👍👍

[@nathansprinkle5988]

👏👏👏👏

[@lennyz853]

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]

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

[@zanelathrum]

First!

[@cannabisoutlawz]

I like that plane alot but i hate the wing attachement. Im into scale RC and the rubber bands were a deal breaker for me

[@ZacharyGalloway]

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.

[@geoffnavolt1970]

How long is the flight time with that 1300?

[@Jetflyz]

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]

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]

@@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]

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.

[@herbhippler293]

I won’t turn on. Any tips what’s wrong with my plane

[@renepedersen9340]

[@ProKr3w]

How to fly your first jet..... should do this next

[@MerryBoozerRC]

I can for sure if this is popular

[@daviddavids2884]

information. at 4:21, cg should still be confirmed, Visually. if the cg happens to not be near thirty percent of chord, something is Wrong. at 11:43, oh, it's also a Good idea to ZERO the throttle. gaaawd.

[@seborracing]

Wesley, looking for a AR12310T if you a guy let me know

[@MerryBoozerRC]

Yea those are hard to come by currently I think Horizon won’t have any until next summer hopefully they get some sooner I need one also

[@trondaustad7803]

you can not trim in safe mood , it will make the plane level what so ever

[@DimaGuitar]

Why did you land with the wind? Start into the wind, land into the wind 🤔

[@dominickcook5990]

Tried this.. broke the tail off first try.

[@johnerickson5081]

The worst thing that can happen is the airplane flys away and you lose it.

[@chrishansen2578]

Rubber bands suck. No bueno

[@noswad75]

I'm not paying $300 for a plane that's held together with rubber bands. Whether it flies or not. Tired of these companies ripping people of. $300 for a piece of styrofoam!!

[@user-oq7gx9fo9x]

Probably paying for all safe mode features
