Description

LEARN TO FLY SUCCESSFULLY We are committed to engineering aircraft that you can learn to fly with successfully even if you’ve never flown RC before. Every HobbyZone aircraft we offer features industry-leading design and technology developed by experts to keep you in control and learning at your own pace so you can turn your dreams of flight into a reality! For nearly two decades, multiple versions of the Apprentice have been the go-to “traditional” trainer of choice for many first-time RC pilots. The HobbyZone Apprentice STOL S 700mm has been scaled down from the incredibly popular Apprentice 1.5m and 1.2m models, yet has also been optimized to offer STOL capabilities similar to the best-selling E-flite Timber series models. Plus, it’s “ultra-micro” sized to be more affordable and convenient for more people to fly in more places and smaller spaces – from yards and parks to sports fields and beyond! The Apprentice STOL S 700mm is equipped with Horizon Hobby's exclusive and innovative SAFE technology that makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully. Beneath its durable exterior, there’s an efficient brushless motor along with a factory-installed ESC, receiver and servos. The RTF version also comes with everything else needed to fly in the box including a Spektrum battery, charger, and an SLT6 controller/transmitter equipped with a USB-C port for direct connection to a PC for easy plug-and-play use of the included trial version of the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC flight simulator! Overview Welcome to the exciting world of RC (Radio Controlled) flight! If you've ever dreamed of taking to the skies, Horizon Hobby has you covered. We are committed to engineering aircraft that you can learn to fly with successfully even if you've never flown RC before. Every HobbyZone aircraft we offer features industry-leading design and technology developed by experts to keep you in control and learning at your own pace so you can turn your dreams of flight into a reality! The HobbyZone Apprentice STOL S 700mm has been scaled down from some of the most popular trainer aircraft ever designed to make learning to fly radio-controlled (RC) airplanes easy and fun! Its ultra-micro size makes it the perfect choice for a smaller trainer model that can be flown in large yards, parks, soccer fields, football fields and other suitable spaces where larger models can’t typically be flown successfully by first-time pilots. Featuring a more “traditional” trainer design, it’s also been optimized to offer STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) capabilities like the iconic E-flite Timber series models. The brushless power system is compatible with common and affordable 2S 300mAh batteries, and also gives it the power to fly in wind that other ultra-micro and mini-class trainer models can’t typically handle (up to 5 mph). That power, combined with the taildragger landing gear and oversized tires, gives it the ability to take off almost immediately from paved, dirt, gravel, and even the grass surfaces found at many parks and sports fields. The advanced EPO construction is lightweight yet incredibly durable, and the removable wing makes transport, storage, and replacement as convenient as possible. Full 4-channel control plus SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology with Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes makes it easy to learn to fly successfully and to advance into performing aerobatics including loops, rolls, and even inverted (upside down) flight at the flip of a switch! The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes everything needed to fly in one box and is a perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot. From the Spektrum SLT6 2.4GHz controller/transmitter you can use with other Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic aircraft compatible with SLT FHSS technology (future availability) after you learn to fly, to the 2S 300mAh rechargeable LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery and a convenient USB-C charger that can be used with a variety of USB power sources, there's nothing extra you need to buy! A BNF Basic version is also available for experienced pilots who want to use their favorite Spektrum transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own. And for both versions, the powerful and efficient brushless motor, ESC, dual-protocol (DSMX/DSM2 and SLT FHSS) receiver, and servos are all factory-installed in the durable EPO airframe that’s nearly ready to fly right out of the box. Simply install the wing using the included thumbscrews and you can be flying in minutes – no glue or tools are required! Apprentice STOL S 700mm Dimensions In The Box The RTF version also includes a Steam key to download and activate a trial version of the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC flight simulator. The simulator features many of the most popular Horizon Hobby trainer airplanes and helicopters, including the Apprentice STOL S 700mm, and built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons. (1) Apprentice STOL S 700mm Product Manual Included in each box. RealFlight is the #1 RC flight simulator in the world, and the Trainer Edition includes one field plus many of the most popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraft from Blade, HobbyZone and E-flite – including the Apprentice STOL S 700mm. It also features Virtual Flight Instructor lessons that help new pilots learn to fly successfully because they can practice flying on a desktop PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere else! You can use a USB-C cable (not included) to connect the included SLT6 controller/transmitter to a compatible USB port on your computer to fly for up to 100 minutes. Then you can purchase RealFlight Trainer Edition or Evolution to fly any time and for as long as you’d like! The Apprentice STOL S 700mm has been scaled down from the popular Apprentice 1.5m and 1.2m models, yet has also been designed to offer STOL capabilities similar to E-flite Timber series models. It’s “ultra-micro” sized to be more affordable and convenient for more people to fly in more places and smaller spaces – from yards and parks to sports fields and beyond! The factory-installed brushless outrunner motor is compatible with affordable and common 2S 300mAh rechargeable Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries. It’s more powerful and efficient than brushed motors, which gives the Apprentice STOL S the power to fly in winds that other ultra-micro and mini-class trainer models can’t typically handle (up to 5 mph). The oversized tires and steerable tailwheel make it possible to taxi, take off from and land on a variety of surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size to handle. From the grass surfaces found at many parks and sports fields, to gravel paths and paved surfaces. Arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos and receiver installed. All you need to do is slide the landing gear into the fuselage then install the wing using two convenient thumbscrews and you’ll be ready to fly within minutes of opening the box – no glue or tools required!

A few minor problems
There are a few problems as it arrives. First, the simulator software (100 minute free trial) does not recognize the supplied SLT6 controller. I'm trying to get help from Hobbyzone on this, but not holding my breath. (Problem resolved - thanks Hobbyzone) Second, the battery uses a non-standard connection. It runs the aircraft through the charging connector, which has 2mm pin spacing rather than the .1" (2.54 mm) spacing that most chargers/batteries use. I bought four 300 mA-Hr batteries and had to make an adapter. The plane flies well and is fun to fly. Batteries last 6 to 8 minutes. However, even though the ESC and receiver support voltage readout, the SLT6 controller does not. The airplane is so light they don't recommend flying it in winds over 5 MPH. I flew it in a 5 to 7 MPH breeze, and it handled well. I 'landed' it in a tree and bumped it onto the ground a few times. It survived without a scratch. The nice thing is that the controller is pre-programmed for the plane, and it really is ready to fly. It's a good trainer and if you want to learn with something basic, inexpensive and fairly robust, it is a good choice. ... show more

Easy to fly, excellent first plane for calm conditions
Very easy to fly. Excellent trainer for beginner pilots. Wish it was a bit larger and heavier to handle more wind.

Great until you break it
So easy to fly really impressed with the safe mode and agility. Only problem is we broke the propeller and the adaptor to the motor. No big deal the parts are cheap however they have been on backorder for a month. I'd have a better review if we could get the parts to actually fly it

Perfect First Flyer
Awesome, easy to fly, great first plane, about 10 minute flight time if you’re cruising, gentle stall, you basically have to try to crash it. Even if you do it’s very durable. Great entry level rtf offering. Saves a lot of people from being one and done in the hobby. Much better than sport cub s2

Great-ish mini bush plane
Tons of fun, great balance of slow flight but enough size to fly ‘with some weight’ relative to the UMX planes. Big issue tho - the vertical stab hinge is just pinched foam and the tail wheel is not braced, so if you actually fly grass/dirt ops with it, the tail wheel will eventually rip the tail off. Hopefully on landing and not takeoff… Major miss! Would also be sweet if it just had lights, it really lends itself wonderfully to being a dusk plane… ... show more

Don't buy this one
There simply isn't a lot of value in this airplane. Reminds me of those old flat pack balsa airplanes with a rubber band than we'd fly a few times, destroy, and throw away. Same thing here, except it is hundreds of dollars. The worst part if that Hobbyzone always seems to be out of the parts that break on these things, and prices them ridiculously high. Avoid at all costs ... show more

Under 250g
Fun little plane, was a great first plane, flew better then expected in the wind, super easy to land. Though the plastic bit that holes the wheels came off on the second flight, tried reglueing it but the whole it self is too large to make contact on both sides, ended up having to tape it to keep it on the plain, defeating the ability to remove the wheels by choice/as needed. But for the price I don't think you'll find a better park flier under 250g, though for the same price you could go to the next size plane. Though not under the 250g weight. I so would suggest this for a first plane, and if you only fly at parks and don't want to have to deal with registering it or adding remote ID, There are better options otherwise, if your in a club with a field. Though even if you are, its not a bad to have extra for those learning. ... show more
