YouTube Video VVV5TEltU2lNZmRMT3pJcUVmcXpoSWVBLngtdl90QmF2SDNn To be fair, it was the dog's fault and I didn't hit it, my Radian Pro did.  Ruined my perfect landing LOL

"I can't believe you hit my dog!" - with that #rcplane!
Back out with the Parkzone Radian Pro for round two – this time in the evening breeze!  After a calm maiden flight earlier in the day, I wanted to see how this RC glider handled a bit more wind!

With the sun going down and the chill setting in, the Radian Pro showed off its soaring skills, picking up every gust rolling over the hills. The extra breeze made things trickier (especially when it came to landing), but it was a whole lot of fun figuring out rudder vs. aileron and flap use in windy conditions

Even with the wind, and me having very little experience, the Radian Pro proves it’s a relaxing yet capable RC glider.

Windy Evening Flight with My Parkzone Radian Pro #RCPlane #Glider
On this day, I took my Parkzone Radian Pro out for its maiden flight (for me!)  - and it’s also my first time ever flying an RC glider. Unlike my usual powered RC planes, this one is all about smooth, quiet soaring, catching updrafts, and relaxing in the sky.

This Radian Pro was gifted to me by my neighbor (thanks Brett!), and despite its age, it still flies beautifully. With flaps, ailerons, and incredible glide time, it’s a whole new RC flying experience compared to the other #rcplanes I usually fly.

This flight has me hooked - I can see why people love gliders!

Maiden flight of my new (to me) Parkzone Radian Pro #rcplane
Just finished repairing this amazing plane and put her down in a tree.  The nose broke off again but after the inital shock, I will re-build!

I made this video to help me deal with the pain 😢

Big crash for the Sportix 1.1m #rcplane after recently repairing
Parkzone Radian Pro - an Early Morning Flight #rcplane
Flying an RC plane in wide open fields is fun — but what happens when your flight zone is full of trees, power lines, and tight landing strips? In this video, I put my E-flite Sportix 1.1m RC plane to the test in my own backyard!

With only a narrow line for takeoff and landing, every flight is about precision, timing, and a little bit of nerve. I’m still flying mostly in SAFE mode (not quite ready for full AS3X commitment), but even so, it’s fast, responsive, and a real challenge in such a confined space.

It’s not always smooth — wing drops, tricky winds, and last-minute saves are all part of the action. But that’s what makes backyard flying so addictive!

Flying my E-Flite Sportix 1.1m #RCPLANE amongst the trees at home
My very first flights with the E-Flite Night Timber X Evolution - and wow, what a plane!  In this maiden flight I test out take-offs, landings, SAFE mode, and even push it a little outside my comfort zone by turning off SAFE.

The Night Timber X Evolution feels incredibly solid, forgiving, and fun to fly - a big step up from my smaller UMX Timber Turbo.

In this video, you’ll see:
- Maiden flight setup & takeoff
- Flying in SAFE & AS3X modes
- Take off & landing practice so I can be ready for flying at home amongst the trees
- Battery performance (2200 4S 30C pack)
- My first impressions

This plane feels rock solid, with landing gear that handles tough landings way better than my UMX Timber ever could.
