Thanks all. Traxxas829's post made me rethink what I wanted this plane for...I'll probably fly the glider more after work at the local park then at my club's flying field which is 20mins away. So I've decided to go with the Radian....I've not seen a bad post about the Radian....same with the Cularis, but Traxxas had a point about just simple thermal hunting and not working to fly the plane....I have all my gassers for that
While I don't agree that the Cularis would be less capable of thermaling....in fact it's probably better due to the larger wing area/span, I think it would require a larger field.
If I get hooked on the glider thing though, a Cularis will probably be next...
