Dead Apprentice 15e

[Vern]

Well I was hammering on the plane today in high rate pulling out of a tight loop and I saw the vertical stabilizer fold over and then fell off.I actually gained control for a couple of seconds but it rolled over and went vertical for the ground at a fast rate. What a rush,dislocated the motor and battery,broke the tail off or what was left,cracked the wing and almost split in two in front of the cabin behind the fire wall. Located a Fun Cub later today and will build it installing servos,receiver and motor from the Apprentice,well I wanted flaps anyway so it will happen sooner now.

I feel your pain, I tried to maiden my stryker today, and crashed 3 times while launching, broke the nose cone off, and bent the prop on the 3rd try

Anyhow all fixed and ready to go.

I currently fly a HZ Champ, love it - would love to fly the Stryker like I do the Champ.

How is the Apprentice? I was gonna get a Super Cub LP, but the LHS did not have any BNF, besides I did not want to buy different battery packs, I have a bunch of 2200 mAh from my Trex 450, and did not care for the rubber bands on the wing

The Apprentice was fun but it lands at a pretty good speed so it takes a good amount of space.3200mah li po is the recommended battery and the plane wants to fly fast but I want to slow it down and if I did it over would add flaps for the limited landing site where I fly.I think the Fun Cub will fit the needs and it recommends a lower mah bat. and so not sure yet if my 3200's will be usable but with the Apprentice 15 motor it will move along when I want it to and should land on a postage stamp. Check out the Fun Cub for a high wing flyer my next plane. Check out some U-Tube video of these cub's being flown by bush pilots in Alaska,amazing.
