Apprentice STS 1.5m RTF Smart Trainer with SAFE
Description:
Requires flight battery (3200-4000mAh 3cell Lipo with IC3 or EC3 connector) and charger (Spektrum Smart Charger recommended.)
E-flite® took the world's favorite club trainer and made it SMARTER with the Apprentice® STS 1.5m. Based on one of the very best platforms ever designed for learning to fly radio controlled (RC) airplanes, its large size and 1.5 meter (59.0 inch) wingspan offers better visibility and the ability to handle more wind while learning to fly at an RC club flying field. Its inherently stable design plus SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology featuring Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes makes it easy to fly successfully, especially with the help of an instructor. The addition of exclusive Spektrum™ Smart components including a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and charger make it more convenient to charge properly and safely (battery and charger sold separately for the BNF® Basic version). And best of all it now has the option to upgrade to SAFE Plus GPS-enabled technology that offers features such as AutoLand and Virtual Fence, plus the option to install the all-new Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) that automatically "flares" for smoother landings, to make learning to fly—and to land safely—easier than ever!
The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes everything needed to fly in one box, and is the perfect choice if you're a new RC pilot.
A BNF Basic version is also available for experienced pilots and clubs that 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 power system including a Smart ESC, plus the flight controller, receiver and servos, are all factory-installed in the durable EPO airframe that assembles quickly and easily without the need for glue or special tools.
And the fun doesn't stop after you learn how to fly! In the Experienced Mode, the Apprentice STS 1.5m is capable of performing aerobatic maneuvers including loops, rolls, inverted (upside down) flight and more. You can even install the optional floats to take off from and land on water.
The Apprentice STS 1.5m is the smartest and best club trainer ever, and that makes it perfect for first-time pilots, experienced pilots that teach others to fly, and for club training programs alike. That's why it's the Official Trainer of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and the best choice for new pilots seeking a larger trainer that makes it easier to progress into more advanced RC airplanes!

FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub with Reflex V3, RTF
Description:
The FMS 1700mm PA-18 was launched in 2019, and its stable, easy-to-fly and easy-to-operate features have brought full surprises to both new and old pilots. While this trainer has been widely praised, FMS has been constantly asked whether it is possible to reduce the size of the aircraft, including the aircraft itself and the packaging, while maintaining its stability and operating controllability as much as possible, so that it can be picked up like a boarding suitcase.
With the 1300mm PA-18, FMS has answered the above question. The 1300mm PA-18 also adopts a two-section main wing and horizontal stability structure, but at the same time, the fuselage is also two-section, which greatly facilitates players' transportation and carrying. It can be hidden in the corner of a car trunk, ready to be used at any time.
Thanks to its functional flaps, high-lift airfoil, rugged landing gear and oversized pneumatic rubber tires- the 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub has impressive short take-off and landing (STOL) performance, allowing it to operate from just about any terrain.
In addition, the assembly steps of the 1300mm PA-18 are still simple and convenient, and the assembly and disassembly of the entire aircraft can be completed with just a few screws.
For pilots wanting to get the genuine bush-plane experience, the PA-18 Super Cub can be equipped with floats.
The latest 1300mm PA-18 could be a great start to enjoying versatile, fun and exceptionally relaxing flight.
Features:
1. Powerful 3536-850KV motor with 40A ESC provides adequate thrust for any situation.
2. CNC metal landing gear structure for less-than-perfect landings.
3. Oversized pneumatic rubber tires for all-terrain operations.
4. STOL capable (Takes off in less than 3m/10ft)
5. Preinstalled navigation lights
6. Two-section fuselage
7. Two-piece wing and horizontal stabilizer for easy transportation
8. High-strength carbon fiber wing spars
9. Screw-together assembly

Mitsubishi A6M Zero Micro RTF Airplane w/PASS System
Description:
The Rage RC Micro Mitsubishi A6M Zero is classic WWII semi-scale park flyer with the stability needed for beginners to learn how to fly and the necessary power to provide a fun flying experience for RC enthusiasts. The Zero is manufactured from durable EPP foam and a detachable prop system adds to the durability by nearly eliminating broken props and bent motor shafts. Like most Rage RC airplanes, the Zero includes the PASS (Pilot Assist Stability Software) system which allows the performance envelope of the airplane to expand with your flying skills and makes flying a more enjoyable experience. With PASS, in Full or Partial Assist Mode, if you ever lose control, simply release the control sticks and the plane will quickly return to level flight. Even when in Expert Mode, if you get into trouble, all you need to do is move the PASS switch on the transmitter to Full or Partial Assist for the system to take over and you're back in level, stable flight. Another option included with the Zero is the removable snap-in-place landing gear that can be used for take-offs from smooth surfaces. When hand-launching is a better option for conditions, using Partial Assist makes it a breeze whether the gear is installed, or not. For added fun when flying with the PASS system, you can use the Stunt button on the transmitter to automatically enable the Zero to complete either a loop or roll that will make you look like an ace pilot.
The Micro A6M Zero features pre-applied decals that make for an attractive WWII trim scheme. Everything needed to start flying is included in the box; including a 2.4GHz standard size 4-channel transmitter, a pre-installed airborne electronics system, a convenient USB charger, and a powerful 3.7V 400mAh LiPo battery for extended flight times of up to 15 minutes. The only items you need to add are four AA batteries for the transmitter and you'll be flying missions around your local park within minutes of opening the box!

EFLITE Eratix 3D FF (Flat Foamy) 860mm BNF Basic with AS3X a
Description:
In the early 2000s, "flat foamy" models were extremely popular because they could be scratch built from foam sheets you could buy in many stores. Today, most foam models are fully-molded sport and scale aircraft – and few can match the unique capabilities and performance of flat foam models, especially those designed and built for aerobatic plus 3D flying! The E-flite® Eratix 3D FF (Flat Foamy) 860mm is perfect for experienced pilots who already build and fly flat foam models, intermediate pilots who are interested in them but don't want to undertake a complicated build, and less experienced pilots who have always wanted to try but were intimidated by the extra effort and skills required to buy, build and fly such a model. The Eratix 3D FF is the easiest-to-fly, most convenient, and best value in a flat foamy model yet!
