Parkzone Radian Glider Flight Video

[WheatBeerByron]

Now I know what the hawk that circles our place looking for chickens must feel like.

Thanks for posting.

[VideoBeerReviews]

@WheatBeerByron Yeah, it would be cool to be up there but the video comes close.

Glad you enoyed the video!

hi mark, very cool!

i'm thinking about buying one? i see the reviews are amazing! what's your thoughts on it? did you have to do any mods to it at all? this would be my first rc

thanks

jeff.

I read a lot of reviews before getting the Radian and so far it is great! I'll probaly upgrade and get a nice DLG later this year, but I'm happy now, I havent done any mods yet but I may put some "super magnets" in the wings. Other than that I don't see the need for anything else.

If it will be your 1st R/C make sure to spend a lot of time on a flight sim if you can, they really help. Also, try to have an experienced pilot help you the 1st time or two.

Have fun!

@VideoBeerReviews

thanks for the info mark. i do have a very good friend who is a pilot for Air Canada.

that should help eh? lol.

take care

jeff

[VideoBeerReviews]

Actually you might want to find an experienced R/C pilot to help you. There's a huge difference between flying real planes and the "toy" ones that we fly.

Good luck!

Now that was fun! Thanks for the ride!

[VideoBeerReviews]

@Imasofat  Glad you enjoyed it!

[kpratt360]

peaceful. thanks for sharing.

[VideoBeerReviews]

@kpratt360 You're welcome.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thats a trip, It's flat there like Michigan.

[VideoBeerReviews]

@dorf68 Actually, Atlanta is fairly hilly but it's hard to see from the air.

[Chad9976]

man that thing gets some serious altitude! It stays up for quite a while from just gliding.

watch your YAW

how high up would you say it gets?

[VideoBeerReviews]

@Chad9976 I'm still a bit of a chicken, but if I let the motor run I could "speck" it out at probably 1500-2000 ft. The highest I've had it up is about 900 feet when I caught a thermal that just lifted it up like it was on an elevator!

It was pretty windy yesterday so that's why the plane is going all over the place. It was alittle hard to control sometimes.

[Chev427BB]

Has this ever landed somewhere that you can't easily reach?

[VideoBeerReviews]

@Chev427BB Not yet, and I hope never to experience it with this plne. Although, when I was into R/C the first time I had a plane get stuck in a tree that required me to climb it and toss a lasso around the wing to bring it down.

[yuichituba]

Cool! That's crazy how you hooked your camera up on it.

[VideoBeerReviews]

@yuichituba It's a "super spy" micro camera, about the size of a stick of gum. Not real high picture or sound quality but it only weighs 15 grams. I just velcro'd it to the plane behind the wing.

[60timus1]

pretty cool mark, i love the sound without the engine noise! love your videos.........

[VideoBeerReviews]

@60timus1 Yeah, it is cool without the engine, just gliding along in the wind.

Glad you like the videos!

[adramatictheme]

sweet video, that would be cool to be up there in the glider.

have you ever tried hang gliding?

[VideoBeerReviews]

@adramatictheme I've never tried hang gliding, and don't think I would. But, I've been trying to convince my wife to go up in a real glider which I think would be awesome.

[rcnitrodude999]

nice video. you into nitro cars at all? i currently have 6 of them which spend most their time sitting on the shelf =/

[VideoBeerReviews]

No, I've only done airplanes. I used to do nitro planes but got tired of all my clothes smelling like the fuel. Electrics are so advanced now that it would be hard to go back to nitro stuff.

Thanks for watching!
