Parkzone PNP Radian setup and first flight. This is a wonderful thermal motor glider, very slow and easy to fly. Climbs steeply at half throttle and it easily finds rising air.

Have to use elevator under power to control the tendency to loop up but it's not drastic. A few clicks up or down depending on CG had it gliding level.

CG was at 2.5", everything stock apart from strengthening the pushrod clevis pins and changing battery connector to XT60, decent tape on the horz stab. 15g extra just in front of the tail had CG at 3" and it flew fine. With Mobius on the tail and 1300mAh Nanotech battery moved forward, CG came back to 3.5" and it was way more touchy and loopy.

I had rates on 100% and no expo mostly (needed gentle fingers) but also tried 70 / 30 (felt good) and 50 / 30 (good for calm days).

After a bit more flying I'll move the push rods in a hole or two on the servo arms for less throw. Will investigate decalage and CG adjustments and strengthen the tail and boom also.

But it's flying really nicely as is and seems quite forgiving with unbalanced camera placement.
