I got in 2 flights with my E-flite Night Radian today. The first was a trim flight. The 2nd flight was the one on this video. Both flights were over 14 minutes. Even though the elevator looked neutral, it needed quite a bit of trimming to fly level. Due to the cloudy sky, the plane did not appear visible to the video camera for most of the flight, so I cut this video down to close passes when it was visible. It's an easy flyer.
When I did a climb for max altitude and did a stall turn at the top, I was surprised how quickly it came back down. It just seemed to gather more speed with each second it was headed down. I eased out of it gently to avoid overstressing the wings. The green lights were on but I could not see them during the flight.
I could not get the Rx flight modes (FMs) to work as I wanted them to in my NR. So I reset it and reprogrammed it to my liking. Strangely enough the flight surfaces had to be REVERSED. As it came out of the box, the surface control SERVOS were set to NORMAL. Most of this flight was flown with the STAB OFF. I tested the SAFE to make sure it was correcting the right way and it was.
This will be my trainer for anyone starting out needing help and my night flyer.
