Overview

RADIAN GLIDER

This lightweight motor glider is constructed entirely from highly durable Z-foam with carbon reinforcing spars set into the lower surfaces of the fuselage and wings. The elliptical dihedral shape of the wing is such that the model is able to maintain lift at the slowest of air speeds and make the most of any thermals that may be around. Equipped with a powerful 480 brushless outrunner motor and powered by the included Li-Po battery this two-metre glider has more than enough power to rapidly climb to the desired altitude with ease and once at altitude the motor can be eased right off and the model does what it does best; glide silently around the sky in the most graceful manner, requiring only the minimal steering inputs from the transmitter. Landings are similarly nice and gentle, with power off the folding propeller folds back along the fuselage out of harms way, whilst the nylon skid mounted on the lower fuselage is designed to avoid damage should the model land on hard runways instead of grass. The model comes complete as a ready to fly purchase with everything needed to get flying included in the box, a Spektrum DX5e 2.4Ghz radio system with pre-installed receiver, speed controller with fully proportional throttle, rudder and elevator servos, 450 brushless motor with folding propeller, a 1300mAh 11.1Volt Li-Po battery. All that’s needed is to charge up the flight battery pack and go flying, its that simple. With nothing extra to buy and with no building or gluing necessary the Radian is the easiest of models to get into the air, and once in the air it certainly delivers the most relaxing flight characteristics you could ever want! PKZ4700 Radian Plug and Play The Radian is also available in a convenient and economical Plug-N-Play version (PKZ4775) wherby you can utilise a transmitter, receiver and battery you may already possess. As everything else is preinstalled you are just minutes away from the ultimate soaring adventure.
