I decided to add flaps on my Radian.
Its much more fun with flaps as I can land in les then 10 feet even from real high.
I tested it this afternoon.
It was low cloud ceiling and snowing at times but ok for test flying.
I also flew at the base of the low clouds, I started loosing it in the clouds at one point but the camera was not on the Radian at first :D

Here is a short video of the flight test with flaps

Hi Paul, looks a very good mod. Could you not get the same steep descent using spoilerons?

This is the first Radian not the Pro version so I didn't have flaps and aileron so I added the flaps .
The wing tips have too much curves to add ailerons on this one .
I really like the way it handles with flaps. :D
