Best Beginner RC Planes for 2020!

Best Beginner RC Planes for 2020!

Posted: 2/14/20

Looking for the Best Beginner RC Plane? In this edition of Horizon Insider, we revisit our lineup and select the two best planes to begin your flying adventure with! Updated for 2020, this video features the updated E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m and the new HobbyZone AeroScout S 1.1m.

Planes Featured:

1. E-flite Apprentice STS 1.5m

The E-flite¼ Apprentice¼ STS 1.5m is based on one of the very best platforms ever designed for learning to fly radio-controlled (RC) airplanes—the legendary Apprentice S 15e. That model's large size made it an ideal choice for better visibility and the ability to handle more wind while learning to fly at an RC club flying field, and its inherently stable design plus exclusive SAFE¼ (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology made it easy to fly successfully—especially with the help of an instructor. The Apprentice STS 1.5m is a modern-day evolution of the world's favorite club trainer that includes all the same great features while adding Smart components including an ESC, battery, and charger (battery and charger sold separately for the BNF¼ Basic version), along with the option to add SAFE Plus¼ GPS-enabled technology and the all-new Landing Assist Sensor (LAS), to make learning to fly easier—and more fun—than ever before!

2. HobbyZone AeroScout S 1.1m.

The HobbyZone¼ AeroScoutℱ S makes learning to fly an RC (radio controlled) airplane easier and more fun than ever before! It's the perfect trainer because it's very durable and is equipped with exclusive SAFE¼ (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology that helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes so nearly everyone can learn to fly successfully. It also features Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes so you can choose the level of stability and control you need at the flip of a switch.
