Just test flew my Old Radian after installing 1.5" x 12" flaps. Don't have 90 Deg. yet but really slows down with about 75 to 80 deg. flap and 15 deg. of down elevator mix with what full flap that I have. Was hard to catch it before adding flaps but looks like it's possible now. Will try next time.

Yeah...I added spoilers to mine. Really helps bring it down. Doc -
Can one of you put up a picture of your flaps? I've thought about installing the spoilers that come on the Radian XL but I've been flying the regular Radian for so many years, that I can't imagine the need to slow it down any further than stock.Comment

Hi xviper. I can't take any credit for the idea. I went by the following RC Groups thread with a few mods. I used and old Weller soldering gun with some homemade tips from #12 copper wire to cut the grooves and servo pockets. Works great. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...p-mod-for-ALESComment

Interesting bit of work. Likely helps the Radian float a little better with partial deployment. I've got quite a bit of electronic gear up front that it's a bit nose heavy and I don't really want to add weight to the tail. This may be a possible solution.Comment
