Original Radian - why is it gone?

@MarkPrima - I believe shops can still get parts for them. You might call a shop and see if you can replace stuff on yours bit by bit
Fuselages are unavailable, you might get a Radeon Pro fuselage to work with some modifications.

That is my experience anyway as I was looking for a fuselage a few months ago . I found and OG Radian on Craigslist,I made a fiberglass mold of the fuselage and put the Radian I had crashed into the mold to get the angles right to have a perfect repair. It was a great success

this is the first time I ever worked with fiberglass so please be gentle. What I did is wrap the radian in two layers of cellophane before applying the glass and resin.

Thanks everyone for the information! :cool:
I still have the wings and plan on coming up with a plan for the fuse, I wish I kept the crashed fuse though-darn :mad:

Making that mold worked better than I could have expected.
I took the O.G. Parkzone Radian out for a quick hop this afternoon.

The fuse was in three pieces following a crash this past summer.
