"Mod C" Slow Flying UMX Radian

Here's an interesting mod by Rick Rademacher.  It makes the UMX Radian fly almost like a Vapor.  I'm going to try it!


Main Wing

• obtain three Horizon Hobby Citabria wings (part PKZ3120).  Got mine here.
• overlap two wings by 3.5 inches.
• tape the wings together with a strip of tape on each side.
• insert the wings into the fuse.
• don't tape the wings to the fuse; the friction will hold the wings in place.

Top Wing

• cut the third wing in half longitudinally.
• mount it upside down on the other wings, leading edge forward.
• lightly tape each side to the other wings

Krueger Flaps

• use post-it tabs to make krueger flaps on the leading edge.
• bend tabs to desired direction and shape.
• vary tabs to match your desired style of flight.

Blogger can't find it, but the howto video is here:
