Man that Radian is gigantic...make sure you let go when you toss it...otherwise it'll probably carry you up with it

That follow me drone is all but useless anywhere but big open fields. There isn't any sort of avoidance and no real controller to speak of. It would be interesting to see when a reviewer gets ahold of it to test it out. For the price? I think I would be apt to save a little more and buy a phantom 3...well not me specifically...I'm not into that sort of thing.

I understand that Horizon put it on the website. $229 bind & fly. 3200 3 cell, carbon reinforced fuse & carbon and fiberglass three piece wings.

I caught the last 40 minutes of this podcast on periscope. It was a really cool experience being able to ask questions and get answers on the fly. Felt like we were contributing to the content. great job guys and will definitely try to catch the next one live.

You need a photo with something else (a regularRadian) to put things into perspective. I'm not finding it on the HH website.

Especially about 3/4 down the page... The plane is larger than the man holding it!

For those of you wondering "How many Radians can Horizon Make?" I already wrote them to request a 2 cell UMX radian. I feel like that would be a perfect park flyer size. Especially if they could get it under the magical 250g limit. And the UMX 2 cell brushless system is pretty fantastic.

Ahh, I can imagine the serenity of flying, soaring silently above while in a reclining lawn chair below, sipping on a tinto de verano, and only adding power to return to altitude.

I don't know if it's true or not but regarless, I like the idea of this glider (sailplane for Pat) and I also like the idea of starting false rumors by building something and putting decals on it as if it was a preproduction model. I see a potential yearly April Fool's challenge.

Enjoy your first trip to Ohio this year.

EDIT:
Question I have been meaning to ask; Chris' and Wayne's Beaver -- is it the Hobby King one?
