I’m genuinely excited and eagerly anticipating the arrival of my brand new, high-quality Night Radian 2.0m BNF Basic motor glider. Reflecting on my journey so far, I realize how much I’ve learned since first diving into the RC flying hobby. When I was just starting out, I didn’t fully understand the differences between the various versions available, and I accidentally purchased the PNP (Plug-N-Play) version of the Night Radian back in October 2024 from Horizon Hobby. At the time, I didn’t realize that the PNP model doesn’t include a receiver—and, to make matters more complicated, I didn’t even own a Spektrum transmitter!
In my efforts to get airborne, I ended up salvaging an AR637TA receiver to make it work. Unfortunately, my inexperience caught up with me, and after a particularly rough crash, I had to part ways with that first glider just yesterday. The experience was a tough lesson, but it’s also made me even more enthusiastic about starting fresh with the correct BNF (Bind-N-Fly) version this time around.
Now, with a better understanding of what I need and a renewed sense of excitement, I’m truly looking forward to enjoying the hobby with a top-notch aircraft that’s ready to go right out of the box. Here’s to new beginnings and smoother flights ahead!
Sincerely,
Joe Todaro
