(1/3) > >>

skyhawk newbie:
Anybody got one of these....
I'm thinking about buying one.... New €250 RTF

Pro's and Con's ..what do you think....
Would you recommend them for a newbie pilot......
Are they good in strong winds,How much landing spare do you need for these 2m gliders.....

Hi Sean,

Should be dead easy to fly.
Excellent 'starter'.
Not quite so sure about the price tag though.
But.... I suppose for an RTF that's not too bad.

I started, like so many people in those days, on one of these...



And I've still got it.

Rudder/elevator only, and as solid as a rock.

So I reckon that Radian would work well.

Go  for it, I am flying 24 years and got one this summer, will handle up to 20 mph wind, thermals great and quick to assemble.
B.T.W. amount of space to land depends on pilots ability, will land in a pitch easy.

skyhawk newbie:
The cheapes I've seen on E-Bay.Buy it now. . is £179.oo plus £30 Postage

That £210 and a few days / week for it to arrive...   :(

With the exchange rate at €100=£85-ish it works out about the same price
 and I don't have to wait..  :D



Theres loads of good review on the Parkzone Radian on Youtube
 plus I can get spares from the shop in Cork or off E-Bay...
