Flite Test recently teamed up with Horizon Hobby to bring you a very special new motor glider. Here's more! 

The E-Flite Night Radian FT is almost here! Entering an entirely new environment of flight, the night-time edition of this popular RC glider adds even more to the Radian. With an integrated LED system, this plane is sure to be a hit.

Features

One of the brightest, most obvious features of the new Radian is the lighting. It has a system of high-visibility LED lights spread throughout the airframe. These are integrated into the actual foam so that the aerodynamics of this aircraft aren't compromised. These feature 100+ color, sequence and timing combinations that can be programmed by you. This means that you can have unique color patterns when flying with friend's Night Radians. 


Like the original, the Night Radian boasts fantastic all-round performance. It's lightweight yet resilient thanks to the industry standard EPO foam. This new Radian also has an upgraded tail over the old one. It is now fully molded with an airfoil-shaped horizontal stabilizer. 


Thanks to the brushless power system and and folding prop, the flight experience is a breeze. There's no complex launching procedure and no worry that you'll run out of lift and have to ditch the glider somewhere. The motor gives that piece of mind so you can enjoy searching for thermals and cruizing around. This plane takes a 3S 1350-2200mAh flight battery that provides plenty of flight time on one single charge. 


For ease of assembly and transport, the Night Radian has a removable wing. This means that it's far easier to get your 2000mm wingspan aircraft to the field. The wing simply bolts on and can be setup in seconds. 


There's also easy access to your electronics via a hatch in the underside of the fuselage. Incidentally, no glue is required for assembly of this model. This means that you can have your brand new Night Radian out of the box and ready for a maiden flight in less time than it takes to charge a battery! 


TheFT Night Radianis a plane we and Horizon Hobby are particularly proud of. As a twist on a favorite classic of ours, we hope that you like it too. This aircraft is expected to hit our store on Monday, October 1 2018. If you'd like to pre-order one today to be one of the first Night Radian owners, visit the pre-order pages.
