One caution on the raw beginner level, the Radian is a tad much with brushless motor and it will turn on a novice flyer unless they drop the nose on launch, also gliders have a tendency to delay on stick inputs, so an overcontrol issue, just a caution if a newbies is considering one, oh Yeahhh still get one but Please get an instructor on the maiden flights, note how aeajr made the correct adjustments prior to flight, setting trim and getting the proper COG Center Of Gravity balance....these are so important, and the landings, it floats forever so defintely have a sizeable area to fly this winner...BEST ..<>..

Note just back in, quick flight on the Radian as have to work, fly just before dawn but winds still up abit, around 8 to 12 MHP with over 15 MPH gusts, she went right up at only half throttle, slight downtrim to penetrate, managed good elevations, handles very well, however as had to leave on bringing her down gusts suddenly built up, she even did a loop, coming back downwind and turn for landing gave some more down trim and things settled, she landed with ease, its great fun, but take your time getting accustom to windy condtitions, go easy, a big plus on this one even on windy days...BEST ..<>..
