While the Radian is not what I would call exciting plane to fly, it is graceful, forgiving and relaxing.

Just my opinion but I find it's a great place to start.

You are correct. As one who LOVES the Radian, I can tell you that one does not buy a Radian for the sake of flying the Radian. Anymore than one buys a fishing pole and tackle for the sake of having a fishing pole and tackle. We buy and fly the Radian to find lift and to work the thermals and soar like the birds. Just as we use the fishing pole to catch fish.

The excitement is not in the flying, it is in the hunt!
