Once you have mastered the basics of flying, the Apprentice can perform a variety of aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls and even inverted flight. You also have the option of adding the optional Apprentice S float set to turn the model into a floatplane.
This E-Flite RC plane comes with a 30A Pro Switch-Mode BEC brushless ESC installed. You will also receive a powerful 3S 3200mAh 20C LiPo battery and a LiPo balancing DC charger included.
