Stupid Parkzone Radian Flying Video

Yes, I flew foam. Forgive me. Got a Radian to use in some future video projects and put my little Contour HD cam on it for some fun. I flew the Radian box stock first, and I knew it would suck, and it did. I put her in the tuning shop and moved the CG an INCH back, hacked the stab to get rid of the massive decalage, re-routed the pushrods a bit, and put some stiffeners in the fuse, and other tweeks. She flies sweet now, better than it should. Watch it on Youtube for a better bigger view.
