E-Flite Radian XL Maiden

That was awesome!

Thanks DK!! One of the guys in the club who's an animator at NASA Goddard thought my hand launch was hilarious so he made this meme... Pretty funny!

Yeah... a really good sailplane doesn't want to land. You have to spoil it's hautiness! Doc

[dkalwishky]

I could still hand toss it from my chair though!

That was awesome!

[Flygirl]

I'm not sure how I landed without them before Doc! LOL!

[doctormike]

Spoilers are cool, huh? Sounds like a great sail plane. Doc

I just love the lawn chair action (or lack thereof). Another confirmation that the XL is going to be great. Ours didn't arrive last Friday as they were supposed to. The LHS got a huge shipment from Horizon but the XLs weren't in it. We'll find out tomorrow what happened to them.

Well that's a bummer Vipe! Hope it comes in this week for you guys. And yes, it HAD to be launched from the lawn chair otherwise it would have failed it's first test. LOL! It really is beefy... The center wing section looks like it is just normal foam like but feels very.... dense? Dense in a good way though. I can't see that wing ever breaking. The spoilers are terrific. I've never had them on anything before but I can see why Doc put them on his Bird Of Time. My son Kyle got some vid of it from his Phantom 3 but he hasn't posted it yet. Can't wait to see you guys do a formation! :)

Glad to see you got it up. Maybe you'll get a perfect day soon.

Thanks FF! Hope so.... It's been pretty windy lately here. :(

Got it together this morning and even though it was a bad thermal day and windy I couldn't wait. It flies just like the regular one but boy is it beefy. I could still hand toss it from my chair though! The spoilers work great and the AS3X didn't seem intrusive. I really didn't notice it much honestly. Can't wait to get a good day for gliding!
