E-flite UMX Radian BNF Flight and Glide from 350 Feet with Wide Angle Shots

This is a "Flight and glide" video where I take my new Ultra Micro Radian RC plane with AS3X Technology up in the air about 350 feet or so and just glide it down to the soft green ground. I also made sure to include some wider angle shoots of the plane in the air per the request of the viewer of my other videos with this plane.

In addition to the content in this video, I have a separate unboxing, maiden flight, and review of V1 version of this E-flite UMX Radian you can watch here: https://youtu.be/TAZxL0WZM_4

I have a separate unboxing, maiden flight, and review of this E-flite UMX Radian BNF with AS3X Technology too that can be found on my channel. If you watch that, you will see that it is also not the the BNF Basic package, so it comes with a USB charger and battery in addition to the Radian UMX RC Glider.

Here are my Unboxing, Maiden and Review Notes:

Cons:
- Fragile
- Not easily transportable like previous UMX planes
- Brushed motor

Pros
- Handles stiff and swirling winds pretty well
- Good slow speed handling
- Performs loops well
- Powered unlike the UMX ASK-21 Sailplane
- Good flight times
- Fun

All I can say is that the UM Radian or Baby Radian is something I am pretty impressed with so far with this Ultra Micro RC Plane. Who knew a UMX Glider could be this cool?!?!?

This thing could be as epic as my Parkzone P-51 Mustang and Parkzone T-28 Trojan! It clearly isn't a flop like the Parkzone Ultra Micro P-40 either.

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this RC Sailplane otherwise known as the Ultra Micro Radian BNF, not to be confused with the Parkzone Radian:

"The E-flite® UMX™ Radian is a powered sailplane that packs all the simple fun of the larger ParkZone® Radian into a much smaller package that's an absolute delight to fly. AS3X® technology gives a pilot the feeling of flying a much larger glider especially outdoors because of its renowned ability to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. Its distinctively curved wing delivers outstanding lift and impressive glide ratio using 3-channel control simplicity. The lightweight brushed power system requires just a single-cell Li-Po battery to provide excellent launch performance and long flight times. Plus the one-piece wing can be easily removed and stored in the handle-equipped box making your ability to soar through the clouds as convenient as can be. You'll be in the air in no time thanks to great features like:

Folding Propeller - For maximum glide efficiency, the ESC is specially programmed to work with the folding propeller so it opens quickly and folds back to streamline the airframe.

Removable Wing - With the removal of just two screws the fuselage and wing can be separated for easy transport and storage within the custom packaging provided.

Long Flight Times - The included E-flite 150mAh 3.7V 1S 25C Li-Po battery can be charged with the provided charger from any convenient USB power source. Average flight times of 10 minutes or more can be easily achieved on a single charge.

AS3X System Equipped - The specifically tuned AS3X System in the UMX Radian® ultra micro motor glider is designed to work behind the scenes to provide instantaneous attitude corrections when turbulence, torque and tip stalls haphazardly interrupt the way you want to fly. Moreover, the aircraft flies incredibly smooth while providing you with control that feels natural and utterly accurate. The result is the feeling of flying a much larger, well tuned sailplane that's convenient enough to fly just about anywhere."
