E-flite UMX Radian BNF with AS3X 3CH RC Glider - Budget RC: I got this used for $20!

Here is another episode of “Budget RC”. This series is dedicated to finding great RC deals through friends, local RC clubs and swap meets, local sellers on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, eBay, RC Groups, other online forums etc. The goal of this series is to show you a sampling of budget deals for RC vehicles and equipment, as well as to provide a sense of what is out there and how much you should expect to pay.
I found this nicely used E-flite UMX Radian bind-and-fly (BNF) 3-channel RC glider at an RC swap meet organized by the New Hampshire Flying Tigers RC Club. The seller was asking $25, I offered $20, and he accepted my offer. I think it was a fantastic deal (I call it a "steal"). I always wanted to get one of these parkflyers, but it had been discontinued before I could get my hands on one:

I had no difficulty binding it to my RadioMaster TX16S OpenTX transmitter and setting it up. If you are wondering how it is done, I present the procedure in a previous video featuring the TX16S and another E-flite UMX airplane with AS3X:

In this video, I am showing my first flight with it on a warm but breezy day.

This one rocks, just superb flying mini glider, i can't believe it's flying under 150mah battery pack! It's perfect park flyer, wish I had one. Thanks for sharing👌

Nice flying. Couldn't spot it all the time but it flies and glides well.

Hi Artur. You were??? Such a coincidence! Did you buy anything good? Or were you selling?

I told myself I won't get 1s planes anymore but this is one I always wanted, might just have to. Nice video!

Thank you Alex. This one is a classic by now, all manual, no stabilization. I always wanted one, but never did. I hope you will find a nicely-used one.

On hot days it should be able to glide for hours!

It feels like it. It floats really great.
