First flight of the season with the Radian XL on a really nice spring day. The flight went a little pearshaped at the end! I puffed a battery because I was not used to the voltage readout on the new telemetry (It’s reads voltage differently) and also deployed spoilers without realizing it when distracted by a bug.

Then I made a ridiculous thumbnail with very obviously fake flames and smoke. Then I the got most dislikes ever. LOL If I did it on all my vids I know I could get tons more views too.

When big famous youtubers do it, they get millions of views, millions of subs, and thousands or millions of $$$$$. When small youtubers do it, they get massive hate from small community. Really is funny how that works.

Mod parts I used:
GliderDrive 840kv, Aeronaut 14x8, Aeronaut 45mm Spinner, 47mm Yoke, YEP 60 ESC, AR6600T Rx/ Telem combo, Carbon tubes and strips in tail, and a tail skid.

Hopefully LemonRx will release their new telemetry Rx with built in Variometer soon! And hopefully it works better than this Spektrum one.
