NIGHT RADIAN FT GLIDER | Overview & Maiden Flight
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 бер 2019
- This has got to be the coolest plane ever developed! It's my first ever glider - the E-flite Night Radian FT, co-developed with the guys at Flite Test. It has over 100+light combinations, a huge 2.0 meter wingspan, and a super smooth brushless locking motor. Definitely a must-add to your plane hangar.

This is my first glider and third plane overall. The only real problem I had with it was learning not to turn to sharply closer the ground and with very low air speed. Doing that resulted in the plane losing lift before i was setup to land, and going in slightly hard. No damage lesson learned. I've gotten up to an nearly an hour of flight time with this plane by using the engine to get me up to around 350 to 450 feet of altitude, cutting off the engine and then just letting the plane catch thermals do long circles and ride the wind. You can get very long flight times this way, its relaxing and I've managed to do some un-powered loops with it when I have enough speed. This is a fun plane to fly day or night.
Dang, a ufo, we gets a few over Dallas Texas, ufo's that is. Now thats a big rc plane. Great job RC Girl...
Hayley goes disco! Rock on! LOL! Love the Radian. Wait until you hit your first thermal. up up up it goes! I can only find them by luck and it's more me just realizing it's getting rather small in the sky. :) Nice flying youngster! - Lauren
Great to see you flying RC plane again. Best greetings from Slovakia :)
Nice bro!!
Great video, i got this plane for my grandson and he loves it. It is so nice to see you ladies joining this great hobby, i wish we would see more of you ladies getting into RC, i have a very close friend that flies to, she loves it and is doing great, keep up the good work and happy flyin’ to ya
That being said, I love my Night Radian, an I've flown many gliders an DLGs for years. Its just a nice, relaxing time in the autumn evenings with some buddies an some relaxing musiks.
Your progress is evident. Nice flying
Yes nice to see you flying rc girl. Gliders are good to practice with you can relax a bit good video 👍🛩
Great job showing the plane and the lights! It looks fantastic in the air.
Awesome video and flying Hayley. I always learn something new from your videos.
That is awesome!!!
What a pretty looking glider. So majestic in the air. Happy Flying
Such a cool video, thanks for sharing with us.
Nice flight, I will have to look into these, I have been thinking about a glider just looks so relaxing
Love your flying. I want a plane now . RC girl rocks!!!
Great flyin, I have the original radian and it still flys great, love the relaxing feeling it gives versus flying my jets and warbirds, nice to see some ladies in the hobby, my wife helps me with customizing, however not much on the flying aspect of it, thanks for sharing.
I got the Phoenix 2000 version 1 (no wheels), and lighter than v2, and is exactly why I fly it, to just sit back, relax and go catch thermals.
Sick video!
HEY LISTEN! lol, love the Zelda reference
Super cool
You should get the J Bauer light controller for the night radian.
You get all 100 plus light combinations that you can control from the remote
Awesome video and great info! Thanks.
Great plane and video
Fantastic 😬
Like aways ❤️❤️❤️❤️your videos. Awesome glider. Flys great. Great review as well you rock RC girl. 👍👍👍👍
Good job! I love mine 😀
Nice honest video, thanks.
the safe select dance was awesome 😂 ❣️
Great keep going 👍
Great video 👍 beautiful sky
Awesome😎🤘🏻
I love this! I love all the lights and I love how slow it flies. I fly RC helis, but don't have anywhere to fly planes or I'd fly them too.
Whoa! The Radiant looks good. I need another night flyer.
Very informative. Thank you.
As a experienced pilot, I usually dislike aids like Safe as I don't like feel limited, but for this model I can see the benefit when flying at night to know that if you let off the stick that the plane will auto level. I may need to get one of these.
Now what we need is an FT Night UMX! Get on it, Flight Test!
Got one myself and enjoy it immensely. I also added the Conscendo Evolution to the hangar which is a rocket ship. Conscendo flies better with a 1000ma 3 cell if thermalling is what you are after. You did a nice, informative video. Thanks
Wow.. looks better option for a good dusk / dawn or even night flying than my ASW28!
Good flying! Looks like its really nice and smooth in the air, or was that just your mad flying skills 😁😉
Love nighflying, especially when it`s pitchdark :D
Having clearly differentiated right and left really helps for anyone wanting to try it, port and starboard ;)
Might want a tail light and a nose light as well, just makes it easier to keep orientation, but you don`t really need *many* lights as long as the ones you have are clearly visible at range.
Lots of kits out there, and if you`re ok with soldering, making something isn`t hard, making it look nice when it`s not dark is more of a challenge :p
Something like a Zagi or another flying wing is nice and cheap, so if you want to experiment with shoving a bunch of LED`s in something, that`s a nice affordable option :)
Won`t look as nice as this, but you can try it for cheaps with DIY.
Btw, awesome little formation flight at the end there :D
Awesome! Before to long you’ll be flying warbirds then on to Jets!!
Really wicked looking glider! I know nothing about planes. I guess it is time to learn.
Hole new world bro.. yes once you get that plane up... yr straight addicted.. no joke lol...good luck ..need radio first !! then plane .. or rtf... ¿¿
@@matthewjames2649 I'm already addicted to acro racers so I don't think a plane can come close to that lol
I have one. It is a fantastic thermal glider, the absence of ailerons is not a big deal at all with the extreme dihedral wings. It self centers and can turn on a dime. Be careful under power and climbing, my Radian has a tendency to go nose up and loop, not good if you are not expecting this. I have learned to give a little down elevator while climbing under power for smooth climbs.
A year later, I plan on getting one for my Birthday! My friend Nate Saylor suggested it as a fun glider. I have the Eluna but she is squirrely. Nice flying by the way. I bet you are a pro at it now!
amazing
Very nice RC Girl. More then 100 Lights i like it too my Cessna corvalise 350 have over 200x LED from Switzerland greetings Tom aka RCHELIJET.
Just learned that myself with a crescendo. Thanks. I feel like I’m gonna be a noob forever. I’m 72, I took 2 years of destruction before I learned. Thanks for the tips. I got a hbzone evo glider, now I’m a bad spoofis.
Maiden went very well except I lost the canopy. I love it. Very relaxing to fly
I may purchase this plane in the future but I think what would be a cool addition to it would be 5” 90° barn door flaps on the wings to allow for shorter landings 👌👍
Great review. I'm thinking at getting a night radian or night timber. I might just get both. I'm an old school balsa builder but looking to try a night time plane and I don't know much about LEDs. These look great and should be easy to see at night. Also, nice to see a lady in the hobby and involved with aviation. Wish there were more.
I want one. Might be my next plane
Spectacular flight what a good time. Beautiful night thank you for the review. Maybe one day you can do a vlog about your job sounds very interesting. Marine chemist am I right? Well you have a great evening ✨ ✨ 🌜 look forward to more of your videos. Like your smile. 😊
Awesome plane. You should get t shirts made that say " Weeee!"
NICE I am a die hard copter fan that looks awesome For me best part you do not need the motor running the whole flight and if batts die it is a Glider not to worry...MMMMMM
Molto carino🤩
i like it...👍👍👍👍
That would be so much fun to do some night time fpv. I'm surprised you haven't bought a pair of goggles and fpv Camera and video transmitter yet? It's actually easier to fly fpv you can't lose orientation that way because you're actually in the cockpit lol. Hope to see you fly fpv soon. You progressed a lot congrats 🙏🏁🇺🇲👍
Why didn't I find a beautiful young woman like you that loves flying model airplanes? You sound so intelligent talking about the hobby that it gets me a bit excited! Flying model airplanes for me is a release from the daily crap that life seems to bring my way.
Love your videos. Tips comes handy for beginners. Any suggestions on trimming SAFE Select planes, like, do you adjust the manual trims with SAFE ON or OFF? Will be great if you can do a tutorial on trimming HH BNF planes. Thanks:)
Great review! Could I use a not-Spectrum receiver? I use FlySky in all my fleet.
Nice 😜❤️
super movie what did you have programmed the remote control for a type of aircraft. ..? without ailerons ..?
Very beautiful! The glider is nice too
NC MOUNTAINS. Night fly 👍✔.
I love my night radian...good review. I lost mine in fog...flew away with an HD cam.
SAFE is useful for launching (and not nose diving ;) ).
Oh no!! Bummer 😫
ua-cam.com/video/zOiRGwmgxyw/v-deo.html
I want one!! Does the little one light up too? Nice video by the way
Looks like something from Saturday night fever 😉
Do Give it a good toss girl 😆
I have the dx6e... what sail plane type have you got (settings)?
Finally a flight video again, i thought you gave up flying ;) but its nice to see you are back in the sky...
The wingnut light controller only has 18 different patterns.
I prefer the J Bauer one now that I have flown both for a long time
I used a 2200mah. And my night raid is extremely nose heavy. What do i do
Are you still flying this plane any or did you get board with it? You should try the Conscendo. It glides, it flips, it flies slow or fast. I installed the night radian lights onto one of mine and it looks awesome.
Nice glider mam😊😊
Lol, I bet I'll see one of these again on UA-cam as an assumed alien UFO.
How awsume is that that's fantastic
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! lol (jk)That plane is just sooo cool! I can't wait to get one. Great video and thanks for the uploads. Liked&Subscribed
I am struggling with the CG printed in the manual. Did you have checked the CG in your plane? The value 2,5 inch is not possible. Even if you put the battery just above the receiver the CG is not reachable. I would like to know where exactly you have put the battery in your plane. Best regards Jan from Berlin
10:31 Hey! Watch out!
Is there a way you can change the lights pattern from your controller
G Malubag .No.
Thanks for the beginners advice and tips with everything. I'm getting back into the hobby and the transmitters and batteries are so different now. I like having the video to watch when I am setting up the reciever. Thanks for the help.
I received my order defective. Half of the right LED main wing doesn't work ,and half of the rear wing is also defective.I have been waiting for four days how to get my money back. because my order was defective. I am very upset , since it happened right before Christmas.
It’s a great flying glider I got it when it first come out my second flight I caught a thermal and was 1013 ft up so much fun
Have you thinking about getting ix12 transmitter? lol
Wauw great look8ng glider, I was never interested in planes but this looks great to have. And if I'm not flying with it I can always use it as a disco decoration in the house hahahahahahahaha
Nice video . hi
Plenty of room in that canopy - wonder if it could be easily fit with an FPV system.
Yeah I think this plane would be great with fpv
So basically a SUAV?
Looks cool but hard to make it alive more than one sec in the air😜👌
Cute hair; )
I like gliders more than carbon s.
No navigation lights? Seems a bit counterintuitive.
Wingnut has a great RC control for the lights.
It's way better than the J Bower Electronics RC light controller
No it's not
Just a heads up...
You can now control the Night Radian lights while flying right from your RC transmitter...

How do you get to be a brand ambassador?
I bought one. Haven’t flown yet
1st female RC pilot that i know. What got you interested in RC? Grear video
Now yr talking ... nice girl !!!
Heya! Would be great to see you review non-Horizon stuff too! Also, the motor braking is actually an ESC setting, you can put any BLDC motor in there and it'll get braking so it can stow the prop.
I have a scratch build video of a flitetest plane coming soon! And thanks for the into about the ESC
At her level HH stuff is a good safe bet, plus they are available anywhere. Nothing else is sold where I live and a lot of the stuff you can order has poor support/parts supply.
there are some HH haters but I think they have done wonders for the hobby.
That said....do you have any suggestions for her?
god you are amazing at flying rc things, we use to date back in high school i rememebr when we snuck under the bleachers and yoh allowed me to slide my carbon spar inside your tight fuselage it was like getting a 6s 7000 into a umx plane, by far the tightest ive ever felt and i still pleasure my carbon spar to this day thinking how good it would feel to have those lips wrapped around my fuselage
You will definitely get UFO reports in your area 😂
What the heck is a thermal
As always, good video. I must say that I prefer when you are not at 60 fps.
