RE: Soaring in my back yard
I flew a Radian on Sunday. $229 with a 2.4 radio. It really impressed me with its climb rate on 1300ma. It only weighs 23oz. Plus the duration of the battery. I think about 5 people took a turn on it and it still had power left. I am in the same situation. I have 20acres in my field and after that there is a big uninhabited valley. I fly in the evening when I don't have time to pack up and drive to the field. I have been flying an electrified Alpha Club but will look for a Radian to supplement it.
