Hello! New guy here. I’m still flying an original Radian. It’s been wrecked numerous times - long before I ever had it. Anyway. I fly gliders. This pic was taken this morning in my backyard. There’s a Radian in there somewhere above Pikes Peak

Had an electronic altimeter for mine. Highest I ever got was 2713 feet caught in a thermal. Only way you can fly that high was to use a beach chair that you can fold back and site using 3 points and never move. Using a eye, antenna tip (72 mghz extended) and the third point the glider, you had it.
Found out that if you roll the glider inverted and circle it, you can lose altitude rather fast. Other nice thing I liked about the Radian is with the motor full open, it climb rate in wind was super fast. Can't do that now.
