Fun with the radian!
I recently purchased a Park zone Radian and I must say, A-MAZE-ING!!! I have had so much fun with it and attaching my phone to it and flying. That is right, I put my phone on it and here are some of the videos.

That is all for now!
Glen’s new project
Important Update, I would like to thank every one who has been helping and the list is growing for names on the plane. I have been asked to where some one would send a financial donation. I greatly appreciate the offer, donations I was thinking of were Ideas and tips and maybe a little hardware for the experiment. Again thank you for your generous offers, instead please use those resources for something more worth while, there are many disaster relief funds and the cure for cancer. Thank you all again for your support.
I am writing this post to let every one know that I am going to be starting a project that will involve a possible full design of a plane that will be able to be used almost like a UAV. That means an Unmanned Areal Vehicle, now I know what you may say “Glen, people have done a UAV already!” Well yes that is true, but I am not one of them. More info below
Update Sept 29th 2009—-
I have figured out what I have for an inventory of parts and so far so good.
Will be posting detailed specs soon.
Update Dec 13th 2009—-
I have been extremely busy with work and have not had a lot of time to make much headway on the project. I am going to be posting a lot of information over then next few days as I have a little bit of time that I have devoted to just the project. Also I am planning on making a video soon to update and show some of the parts that are avail. May just make a list with pictures not sure yet.
Thank you every one that has sent Ideas!
The Plane of choice is the Miss 2 donated by Dave Smith.

Update 1-1-10
Wow typing ^ was odd! Happy new years all!
I have some sad news, I am having to postpone this project for financial reasons as money has become a lot tighter and buying an parts at this time is impossible. I am hoping to do some more work in the near future on the project but at the current time I am going to focus on some collecting ideas and such. Will post the ideas and may even make some drawings.
Update 3-9-10
Here is just a little video update.
Doug and the Queen bee
Here is a video of Doug and the Queen Bee! Surprise at the end!
The plane is the queen bee not vee, please disreguard the error.
Speaking of videos here is one!
The moves that you will see are the elevator and the flat spin.
The elevator is done by heading the plane into the wind and cutting power, then holding the flaps on the back so that it doesn’t nose down. then when needed the plane goes back under power and off he goes.
The flat spin.
The flat spin is done by simply turning one fan off and one fan on full throttle. Now, this is not simple but doug makes it look that way.
Electric powered Flight
Here is where we can all discuss the electric powered flight.
