I finally got to put together an unboxing, maiden flight, and flight review video for the UMX Radian RC sailplane. I hope those of you that have not purchased this plane yet will benefit from this:
Here are my Unboxing, Maiden and Review Notes:
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
I took it up pretty high again the other day and here is the video I made with it. It shows some wider angle shots to show just how high it it. The height estimates are really just guesses in the last two videos since I didn't have someone flying with an altimeter close by for reference:
This video below centers around me nearly losing my new Ultra Micro Radian RC plane last night on a bright and sunny evening. While it was missing from my sight for what seemed like forever, in that helpless span of time I decided I needed to ensure this wasn't going to happen again with my next plane since this one was likely gone forever.
Thankfully, I was able to regain sight with it after spinning circles for a bit. What you will find in this video are a few ideas I applied literally to the surfaces of this RC Plane.
PV: I know some of you have tons more experience doing this than me, so if this is child's play compared to what you do, please feel free to share your expertise
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:
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.
