Hi guys!
I'm looking to get a new plane, I've had/got 2 FT old speedsters and 2 FT Mustangs which have been awesome apart from my lack of skill with the mustang, have been awesome. I've also had some stick time on my friends Bixler 2, not much though. I'm kind of looking to get into the powered glider style flying to up my 4 channel skills to move on to bigger and better things.
I've been looking into a Radian Pro quite a bit as I like the look of a powered sailplane/glider, the gliding capabilities etc. But I've seen a few reviews where people don't like it at all, the one forum post where someone suggested a Flyzone Calypso.
I need a plane that can soar around with my friends Bixler, and do some slope soaring and possible thermal flying. I want 4channel and also flaps (just because).
What is going to be a good plane? Should I go with the Radian pro? or go to a heavier Bixler?
Oh and I may mount my GoPro at some point, but not too important.
Any imput is welcomed because I am quite stuck
Cheers, Sam.
