I have been asked if you can use the RX from the E-Flite Apprentice in another model. I can categorically say, "This is not something we would recommend you do". The Apprentice has been designed as an easy to fly RC trainer with the characteristics of that model pre-programed into the RX to make it an easy introduction into RC flying.
However if the RX is fitted into another type of model, for example a warbird or an EDF jet. The design parameters will be completely different from the Apprentice and as a consequence the RX will not operate with the new model in mind. The RX will know no different and will react as if it was an Apprentice, and this can be totally the wrong information if it is a high performance model.
I am aware that some people on other forums people are saying the RX can be used in other models with no problem. However what we don't know is how many people have had problems and said nothing about it.
It may be possible to use the Apprentice RX in a model similar to the Apprentice. Another trainer maybe, but to stay on the safe side only use it in the E-Flite Apprentice.
One other point of interest. The RX is designed to operate with the digital servos as fitted to the Apprentice. If you use analogue servos the RX is likely to burn them out.
Horizon Hobby will also not recommend the RX from the Apprentice be used in any other model for the reasons above.
