RE: Radian - a new e-glider from Parkzone

In little pieces... use a pair of needle-nose pliers or similar that will let you nibble off small pieces of the plastic, breaking them off as you go. I think once you get to that point, you can...

RE: Radian - a new e-glider from Parkzone

I use two layers of tape. The first is clear packing tape, which stays attached to the top of the wings. The second is 1 inch strapping tape (it has nylon filaments in it) that runs wing to wing,...

RE: Radian mod question for airfoil experts

Dale thanks again for all your info. I will check into the water base paint for the wings. We had a blizzard come through yesterday, and I just came in from three hours of clearing snowdrifts up to 2...

RE: Radian mod question for airfoil experts

Gopher hunter is actually the name I gave my Spirit glider as I attempted to learn to fly rc. It spent a lot more time on the repair bench than in the air at first. The learning curve was pretty...

RE: Radian mod question for airfoil experts

Would that be a JR XF631 by chance? That’s what I’m using right now with my motorized Spirit Elite. Bought it on consignment- no idea how old it is.
Thanks for the range test info. I guess I...

RE: Radian mod question for airfoil experts

I’ve been hooked ever since I lost my first park-flyer glider in a thermal last July. I blinked and she vanished. I am already looking at 3m planes! The choices seem infinite. I know it will be...

RE: Radian mod question for airfoil experts

Good advice on the stripes (thanks again to these rc forums). The Radian has dark blue wing tips underside, which help, but I have added a 6” wide black stripe about mid-span of the left wing to...

RE: Radian mod question for airfoil experts

Forget shaving the TE’s. I've decided, after doing more research (thanks to these forums), that the answer is ballast. This afternoon, we had steady wind at 10-15mph. I put a piece of 1/4"...

Radian mod question for airfoil experts

I'm new to the hobby and love gliders. I've been flying a Radian for a few months and I'm wondering what effect shaving the trailing edge of the wings would have. From the factory, the TE is 7/32...

RE: best brakes - crow or flaps only?

I'm flying an electric Spirit Elite right now. Can you tell me what your flaps and aileron settings are for crowing? How far from neutral at full crowing? My transmitter only allows me full-on or...

Dude, I picked up my new Radian on my way home this morning. Thanks for the Saturday invite, but I can't make it. I'll be on duty on Saturday. I want to join you with my bird and have you do a little...

RE: Radian - a new e-glider from Parkzone

Ken thanks for your fast reply and terrific offer! I look forward to seeing your Radian fly. I suspect that weekends with decent weather and my being able to get away for a few hours will be a little...
