Equipped with 3-channel control and Spektrum 2.4GHz radio technology, the Radian can be flown without the worry or risk of interference. Although a powerful 480 brushless motor enables initial launch, the propeller soon folds back to reduce drag, freeing the plane to utilize thermals of air to remain aloft, instead of batteries. That means flight times for this quiet and eco-friendly alternative are much longer than they are with traditional electric aircraft, making a relaxing day in the great outdoors even better.
Like all of ParkZone’s innovative and high-quality aircraft, the Radian looks great right out of the box and provides pilots with the control and reliability they seek in a park flyer. The plane’s large 2-meter wingspan and elliptical dihedral design improve flight performance and visibility from the ground, while plug-in wings provide for easy transportation and storage.
Not only does the Radian’s lightweight Z-Foam™ construction offer the perfect balance of weight and durability, it also makes repairs simple and quick. Since everything needed to get the Radian airborne is included inside, you are only minutes away from the ultimate soaring adventure.
Customer Reviews: Great PlaneAugust 27, 2010 C. Unrath(IL United States) I have some experience piloting real gliders, but this is my first RC. Absolutely loved it, but alas, I crashed it a few times too and caused some damage on about the fourth crash. Tried to fly it in foot-tall grass...not a good idea because you end up doing a wing loop on every landing. This plane is just too much fun. Read the instructions regarding the "failsafe" mode. It says that, if you ever lose your signal, the plane reverts to the transmitter settings as they were when the binding process was done. Naturally, they strongly recommend that the controls be in the neutral position when you bind the transmitter to the receiver. In my case, the factory "bound" the receiver and transmitter with the throttle full on. While standing in the kitchen, I reached over and shut off the transmitter. The plane instantly went to full throttle. The plane came within an inch of holding its maiden flight in my kitchen. I re-bound the transmitter, and the problem was solved.
Great plane, lots of funAugust 17, 2010 AK(Kentucky) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've flown radio control gas planes for a long time and just got hooked on the electric planes for their portability and fly anywhere concept. With 2.4ghz DSM technology, you can bypass 99% of the issues with gas powered 72mhz flight.
As for this glider, it is well designed, extremely easy to assemble, well balanced, and has great flying characteristics. I wouldn't recommend it for a first time RC'r though, if you hit it pretty hard on the ground, there is enough mass that you will break it. First time RCer's might want to look at the micro Vapor RTF. Extremely fun and great to learn on, difficult to damage.
I can assemble this glider at the park in 5 minutes, I can charge the battery with the supplied charger on the way. It will easily runs for 30 minutes and will run a lot longer if you soar with the power off.
Overall, great plane, I went with the RTF version because you get a radio and extras that would cost a lot more to buy individually.
Fantastic planeNovember 26, 2009 Rocketdad(New York) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Ok, you have mastered the RC simulator on your PC, and the Ember 2 in your back yard...THIS is the perfect plane for #3. Great great great. My daughter (10) flies it every chance. It is not fully acrobatic as described in the first review (no ailerons), but it will do loops and spirals. Get it to altitude, shut the power down and enjoy some great gliding.
This plane is awesomeMay 14, 2009 Tony Lucero(Temecula, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this based on a recommendation from a good friend and reviewing videos on youtube about it. Bottom line this plane is fully acrobatic, quiet and can soar for over 30 minutes on a single charge. It is big too. Over 6 foot wings span that can fit in your trunk. Whenever I fly it people will see it an come over and start asking questions. If you crash you can easily fix it with the right styrofoam glue. I highly recommend this if you want a plane that is worth every penny.
