Although a powerful 480 brushless motor enables initial launch, the propeller soon folds back to reduce drag, freeing the plane to utilize thermals of air to remain aloft, instead of batteries. That means flight times for this quiet and eco-friendly alternative are much longer than they are with traditional electric aircraft, making a relaxing day in the great outdoors even better. Like all of ParkZoneos innovative and high-quality aircraft, the Radian looks great right out of the box and provides pilots with the control and reliability they seek in a park flyer. The planeos large 2-meter wingspan and elliptical dihedral design improve flight performance and visibility from the ground, while plug-in wings provide for easy transportation and storage. Not only does the Radianos lightweight Z-Foam construction offer the perfect balance of weight and durability, it also makes repairs simple and quick. Since everything needed to get the Radian airborne is included inside, you are only minutes away from the ultimate soaring adventure. ## Features - Spektrum DX5e 5-channel full-range 2.4GHz DSM2 radio system eliminates interference and the need for frequency control Ready-to-fly right from the box everything you need is included inside, even the batteries Large 2-meter wingspan makes the Radian easy to see and provides an excellent lift-to-drag ratio Plug-in wings separate for easy transportation and storage 11.1V, 1300mAh Li-Po battery for extended flight times Variable rate DC cell-balancing Li-Po charger safely charges and conditions Li- ## Images ![PARKZONE RADIAN RTF - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/317b5XA352L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an absolutely excellent product! I am an experienced commercial *by O***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2014* This is an absolutely excellent product!I am an experienced commercial, multi-engine, instrument and flight instructor pilot. I am also very experienced in full size sailplanes. I'm probably rated "Intermediate" in rc sailplanes and quad-copters.This aircraft flies extremely well for what it is. Of course, it will skid in turns because it has no ailerons (they have a more expensive model that does) so it relies on differential airspeed to raise the wing once the rudder is deflected. This effect is barely noticeable however and is normal for any 3 channel rc plane.It is an absolute joy to fly and it thermals very well. My most notable flight was in a thermal with a hawk both circling about 150 ft above the ground until the hawk kept rising while I lost the thermal. I haven't crashed it yet but I have some packing tape just in case. It is made of a very durable foam.Use a little packing tape at the front of the canopy or you will watch it fly off. Also, the control rod set screws are very small. I lost one and stripped the other so I just did the following: make sure the system is ON and controls in neutral (untouched). Then carefully use needle nose pliers to put a ninety degree bend in the control rods and insert into the control horns to make the elevator and rudder exactly neutral. It worked perfectly for me and they don't come out. They should have a better system for this.The electric motor is very powerful and the battery lasts a long time. The last time I flew was a non-thermal day and I still had about a one and a half hour session on the first battery.......... climb, shut off motor, glide, land, repeat.I love this thing! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I taught myself to fly with this *by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2014* I've built balsa, but never had the guts to actually fly them. Then, I bought a 1980's foam glider which crashed and shattered before I could even touch the controls. Fast forward to polypropylene foam and inexpensive RTFs.Initial control trim wasn't too hard. I just made sure to get enough altitude. I did crash twice that day, once into a tree on one side of the field, then promptly into another tree on the other side. It isn't a park flyer as I assumed. Flew a few more minutes then the propeller fell off.I chose another field and after twenty flights I got kinda of bored with an left-right-up-down experience. Up until then, I let the direction of flight to be dictated by the plane when she veered away from certain areas. Now, little better at the controls, I decided force my way through that turbulence. Light bulb moment. I've been avoiding thermal lift all along. Don't discount the manual as Chinese translated junk as I did, it's not, and explains thermals very well.Good to know: Normally, the ESC uses the motor to make an audible buzz when the battery gets low and allows plenty of juice to motor to a landing site, but if the battery drains slower, like when thermaling for a while, the endpoint is a dead motor and jumpy controls. The aluminum control knob is made of two pieces that can unscrew and elongate, jamming the control range(like the prop nut, loctite blue fixes it). Buy a lipo charging bag, if for any reason to provide a storage cushion for the battery as it lacks a hard shell. Other than applying smooth blue painter's tape when needed, I just charge and fly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product! *by B***G on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2011* I've had other Horizon Hobby / Parkzone / Blade, etc. products before and they do turn out a nice product.I bought the Radian that comes with the DX5e transmitter, and it's a fine transmitter for this plane. Though the plane is easy to fly for someone who has some experience with RC planes, it might be a little frustrating as someone's very first RC plane. Practice with something smaller and/or use an RC flight simulator if you have one.Be aware, it is big. It has a 2-meter wingspan, that's over six feet across. It needs a large area to fly in. A large field is great. A large park could work, but watch out for light posts! The EPO Z-Foam is durable, but it can dent and it can break if you crash hard. I was able to repair it perfectly with carefully applied white Gorilla glue.The motor is strong and will get the plane up fast. Be careful not to hurt yourself on the prop. Again, the motor is very strong! The battery lasts a long time. Since this is a glider/sailplane, you're not always using the motor, so you should be able to get 30 minutes or more in the air. You'll have to experiment with battery life to know how much charge you are using.The plane handles nicely and predictably and I've really enjoyed flying it so far. I've only flown it in clam air or with gentle breeze. I'm not sure how it handles in stronger winds. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4068591-parkzone-radian-rtf](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4068591-parkzone-radian-rtf) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
