Sounds awesome.. Any video? When you put the wing tube in did it pull the dihedral out or was there none to start? Seem to recall the radians having a bend in the wings and assumed that would make acro outside of loops difficult.

This is the Radian Pro- not much Dihedral and has ailerons. The Radian has a wild polyhydral wing and no ailerons. Definitely need the stiffer wing tube and Cf in Vertical stab and empanage to do this with it. There are some mods out there to mix in full span ailerons (to include the flaps) but I don't think it's necessary. I boosted the "crow" mix (full flaps and up ailerons for max drag. Allows me to do that max performance vertical dive without increasing airseed! Very impressive at the field to yell "Landing" from overhead the runway at 400 feet!

Make sure to do the mods and def invest in a CF prop. Got mine at Hobby Lobby- Aeronaut 10x8. Doesn't completely fold with stock spinner but nuts fine. Good luck.

I have a question, especially for you that fly a lot. Do you ever have a off day sometimes? A day that you just don't fly as good as your normal? I had one today, it has happened before a few times. I think when that happens that's its time for a day or 3 break from flying. Everything I did today just looked sloppy, out of sync.

Hang in there John. You're probably right, just a few days off to clear your head.

yea your right. I just didn't feel all that good today anyways. Have a stomach bug or something. I looked at the weather and looked like today was gonna be the last decent day until the weekend. I wanted to squeeze in one more session just incase I don't get to fly for a couple days.
