The HobbyZone RC Airplane Apprentice STOL S 700 RTF has received mixed reviews from customers, highlighting its overall fun flying experience along with some notable drawbacks. Users appreciate the plane's responsiveness, ease of flight, and effective AS3XSAFE technology, which contributes to its agility and stability during operation. Many users have found it to be a great training tool, particularly for those transitioning from smaller models, although several warnings about its weight sensitivity in windy conditions have been noted—flying this plane in even light winds can lead to loss of control. However, the product does come with Considerable caveats. Customers have reported frequent issues waiting for replacement parts, which seem to be on backorder for extended periods. The absence of a spare propeller is a significant frustration for many, and the difficulty in accessing customer service—often a delayed email response—adds to their dissatisfaction. Additionally, some users mentioned structural weaknesses like the unbraced tail wheel, which could compromise the plane's durability in harsher landings. A lack of convenient accessories, such as a USB cable for the charger, has also drawn criticism. Despite these issues, many users still find value in the plane's performance and craftsmanship as long as they are cautious about its limitations. For true enthusiasts or beginners willing to navigate the challenges of parts availability and maintenance, the Apprentice STOL S 700 can still be an enjoyable addition to their collection. **
