The Radian is certainly a nice airplane I certainly enjoy mine, as others have stated easy to fly. The Radian thermals well with plenty of power to get the bird airborne quickly to an altitude where mistakes can be made for the beginner w/time to recover. The Apprentice is also a good choice which will fly nicely in smaller park areas. Both airplanes are pretty tough and fairly easy to repair.

Joe,

If you've got the time to give these folks a helping hand in getting started on the flying part it will go a long way in their success in the hobby.
