Nice plane!(Posted on September 12, 2015)
This plane flew about 7 minutes on the GForce 3s 1300 mAh with little attempt to conserve energy. A battery with different dimensions probably won't fit well in the cockpit. You could spend a couple hours or more trying to get it ready to fly. I had to install the wing servos, and attach the rods to the control surfaces after taping on the tail. You will have to use clear tape or another method to attach the horizontal stabilizer and the rudder. The control rod to the elevator only attaches to one side and their is a center plastic piece that joins them together in an attempt to have them move together, but it doesn't work very well. I didn't notice any problems while flying it though. I decided to spray paint some green stripes on the bottom to make it more visible since the bottom is mostly what you'll look at depending on how high you fly it. Cheapest shipping took about 5 business days. I definitely recommend it.

Great Glider!(Posted on September 29, 2014)
Overall a great plane with awesome flying characteristics. Just dial in the CG and go. The build was a little bit of a trouble. First, the control horns given are very brittle and crack. I replaced all of them. Second, the given method of securing the two elevator pieces is also flimsy and will not work. You will need to secure the two pieces with wood on both sides. Lastly, the cowl will frequently move onto the prop if not secured. If you pay attention to these things you will have a great plane!
don't buy a radian!(Posted on May 23, 2014)
Screw horizon! This little glider out performs the radian in all areas. More control, better thermal performance, and the price speaks for itself. Less than half! Value for your $! Keep an eye on the cg and it will fly itself. Love this thing. Its my new go to glider. Thanks Value Hobby!
