will my spectrum DX5E that came with my e-flite apprentice fly this plane?

Should be able to. I fly almost all my BNFs with mine (same thing). Just set it up, and go for it. This is a pretty simple flyer, so it's just about getting all your electronics working correctly. I had mine up and running about ten minutes after setting up.

Yes, that is an awesome first transmitter and it will bind just fine, but for a little extra money I would get the dx6. It holds 10 models. The dx5 only holds one. The wingspan is about 24". Hope that helps.

I use the DX6i for flying all my airplanes and now quadcopters. It works great for me and you can save different aircraft you fly on your transmitter also. The DX6i was recommended for me from guys that fly all the time. Hope that helps you out a bit.

Any Spectrum brand DSM2 or DSMX type TX will work with this plane. I would recommend the DX6i for a inexpensive introduction to a computer radio.

Hello. I have the new 2014 DX6 controller and I have 11 planes bound to it including my P-51D. Awesome plane. Still one of my favorite micro series. If this is your first 4 channel you can set the limits at 70-75% initially until you get comfortable. Then set a switch to 100% and you are off. I carry a pocket of batteries and fly mine and my Trojan T-28 micro (best 4 channel starter plane in my opinion) all afternoon. Good luck and hope this helps. SHARXFIN

Sharon, I bought this plane and knew it was a horrible mistake. You will have to build the plane to figure out. There are no controls or electrical appliances to this plane. I would buy the Hobbyzone champ. Definetely worth the best buy.

Yes, the champ transmitter will work but I recomend springing for the DX6i or even better the DX6!As far as a step up, it is quite a bit more demanding to fly than Champ, but it was my second micro and I love it.

The nice thing about this product is that it gives you two options to connect your controller. The first option is wired, and it comes with the wire. As long as your Tx has a trainer port on the back it will work. I Spektrum Dx6i has the trainer port so it will work. The second option is to use the provided wiring plugs to connect a receiver bound to your transmitter and do it wireless, again as long as you have a spectrum receiver laying around you can hook it up, bind it to your Dx6i and you're off to the races. As far as the Heli-X flight sim, I'd be inclined to say no, it only supports the 4 sims listed on the unit.

Yes, the Spektrum receivers always come with the bind key if you buy them new. The only Spektrum transmitter that does not work with this receiver is the DX6 park flyer type. Your DX5e should work fine.

The transmitter you are asking about will bind with this airplane, but the controls will be so sensitive that it will be unusable. The minimum for this airplane is the DX5, but for me the DX6i is well worth the extra money it costs. It has more setup options and also can bind to 10 different models. You could use a DX4e, but if you do you won't be able to operate the flaps.

You need a Spektrum branded transmitter for this plane. I don't believe it will work but you may wait for others to chime in to make sure.

Yes it does! The plane as all electronics built in but, you will need a transmitter.

I use Phoenix 4 it has the blade 300 X on it and I hear real flight works quite well also.

Off. If you are just learning a flight simulator like Phoenix RC will save a lot of wear and tear on your model.

Yes, I recently purchased this as my first RC plane. Its very durable (did a nose dive into cement on second flight) and still flies well. I have a dx6i controller and setting up a model for this plane was super easy (basically the default plane settings). I would recommend getting multiple batteries as 9 minutes goes by quick. I'm already planning for my next more advanced plane.

They both have a DX4e transmitter. If your skill level is good, I would recommend starting with the Blade Nano cpx. If this is your first Collective pitch help, get this one first. This one is bigger, so it will not be as touchy to the controls as the blade nano cox. I have both and the Blade Nano cpx burns motors quick. If you get the blade nano cpx, get a Horizon Hobby brush less upgrade for it. The Blade Nano cox is almost Indestructible. I crashed it so many times and it still flies. The blade MCPx has tail blowout problems and is a little less powerful in stock form, You are more likely to break stuff on the MCPX. You should probably get a DX6i if you plan on staying in this hobby. With this, you can adjust almost anyrhing. I find the pitch not enough on the DX4e for me to do 3d flying while on the Blade Nano cpx, it is adequate. If you get this rtf, enable the expo on the DX4e. You can see how to do it on my review of this helicopter. That expo is makes the heli have a mushy feeling and it is not the best. Believe it or not, I am still flying with the DX4e. I will upgrade yo DX6i soon.

The model I purchased does not come with a transmitter or receiver. It is otherwise ready to assemble wings to body and fly. There are models available with everything necessary to fly. That model is designated "RTF" ready to fly
