Hey guys!

I finally got to put together an unboxing, maiden flight, and flight review video for the UMX Radian RC power glider. I hope those of you that have not purchased this plane yet will benefit from this:

Cons:
- Fragile
- Not easily transportable like previous UMX planes
- Brushed motor

Pros
- Handles stiff and swirling winds pretty well
- Good slow speed handling
- Performs loops well
- Good flight times
- Fun

My Feedback: (2)

My friend has one of these. Glides very nicely with a good climb rate. Naturally the small size limits how far you can thermal soar it but overall a nice package.

I agree with its size, especially for visibility. I added the orientation strips onto it and they only helped so much. I may throw only another two to make it even easier to see it.

Thank you for your comment.

Here is a look at a "Flight and Glide" from 200 Feet in the air with this little glider since my first video didn't show any glide lol

I made another "Flight and glide" video, but this time it was from a height of about 350 feet instead of only 200. This video also includes some nice wide angle looks at this plane in the air:

This is the highest I have taken my UMX Radian on video (I am guessing at least 500 plus feet) and I decided to keep the video shown below pretty raw. It includes some pretty funny parts that show the interaction between my camera woman and myself:

Who says you can’t do a “Touch” and go with the Radian? You don’t need to land on the grass, pavement or gym floor. I start using the Radian Mod C at the halfway point in the video.

That is an awesome flight demo!

This is the first "Flight and glide" video I have made post-crash with my Ultra Micro Radian onto my neighbor's roof. The cause is unknown, but after I crashed my UMX Pitts on video the cause seemed similar. I put fresh batteries in my DX6i and I haven't had a problem since with any of my planes.

This is the updated version of my "Visibility Enhancements" video I made back in May shortly after this E-flite UMX Radian RC Glider came out. The changes I have made since then was to use all of the black strips that came with this plane and add green and orange Sharpie ink to this plane. The key for the best result on this foam is to use the liquid Sharpie ink and NOT the traditional style marker. The green didn't turn out as well as it could have as a result of previous attempts with the traditional style Sharpie.
