Hobby shop does not have gbs module nor the lax sensor. They don't know what am talking about. Want the plane and the 2 extra components.
Question:is the Apprentice a Cessna 177 Cardinal?
Great plane, have NX10 radio. The plane binds but wants to stay in beginners mode. Aux switch on radio says it’s working but plane stays in one mode with green led lit in windshield. Need help on this
Great video Jason, I watched it because someone at one of the fields i fly got one to get back into the hobby with and wants me to check it out and test fly it to make sure its all working, i wanted to see how all the modes would work. never flown one with the GPS and landing modes. very cool. been cool to have picture in picture to show the TX when you was doing the landings and all by itself.
Having an issue with the Apprentice STS . Tried to bind it with a Spektrum DX7 and could not get it to bind correctly . Then tried to go back and bind it to the original transmitter (DXS) and found that the safety options not working correctly . In beginner / intermediate / advance modes while turning plane upside down , the flaps barely move at all. SO seems like safe select is not working at all . When binding , I would leave bind plug in until after the yellow light goes off , if that helps . Thanks to anyone that can get me back in the air.
I’m so sad:( it’s to expensive
What Eflite will not tell you is that is it almost impossible to BNF to your own radio, in my case a DX9. Apparently you can only set up the model by importing the model from SpectrumRC onto a SDcard and importing it into the radio. Even that did not work. All this because of the flight controller in the plane. I put in a different receiver and setup the plane normally and all was good. Shame on you Eflite, since your manual is impossible and only offers any good instruction for the RTF. They obviously want you to buy the RTF model. Will NEVER buy another Eflite plane with a receiver already in it. Hell, I will think twice about buying another Elite plane. Hello Freewing !!!!
what does the las do without the gps?
Cannot tell by your video but how far away is the invisable fence. 100 yds. 200, 300? Is the fence distance adjustable? Also will the plane be easy to handle in an area the size of a football feild. Thanks.
I've never flown a plane like that before but I used to fly little RC planes (cheap ones) as a kid and I lost the most of them by flying to far :') the gps mode would have saved me a ton lol
Mine wouldn't work with the GPS the throttle started and stopped over and over. Disconnected the GPS and it went perfectly.
Im a beginner pilot & just bought this plane a few days ago. Its still in the box & im a little hesitant about getting it out & setting it up. Its RTF but dont have the GPS setup system for it. Shall i go ahead & try it in the beginner mode or should wait & buy the GPS ,install, setup, & try it then???? Thankya for sharing this video on this particular aircraft! Fly safe
Best plane I ever bought! All flights combined, it's been in the air for days! My favourite place to fly is in a forested area with a very narrow gravel road, always gets the blood pumping knowing that I only have one tiny place to land on, where I can't make any mistakes.
Edit: I opened up the battery area to take a 5800mAh battery, so it flys for an eternity, and has a little more mass to take on more turbulence. I also added belly and wing strobes which look great when trying to fly more scale.
I bought same aircraft but after assembly the it gives been. How to stop beeb

You guys have turned this hobby into a fearless, fun thing!!!—Thx for making it easy to learn!!
Love watching your videos man. Cover the information needed perfectly and easy to understand. It's appreciated
How do you bind the GPS module with the plane it's just blinking blue and red
Am I wrong or you just use 4 rubber band for the wings? Is 8 of them too much? I just want to be sure that is not too much pressure on the wings x)
where and how did you set the fence mode; circel small, big, airfield, off…?
Ended up in a tree. 15m. During autoland it took the plane a very long approach distance. Didnt see that coming…
awesome….it's cool👍👍👍,…also great feature
I practice on rainy days in Real Flight 9.5s with this plane. But IRL, I have the E-Flite Night Timber X. Also, that finger in the camera shot is annoying. lol
