Indoor Maiden Glide Review

It was a winter night, and I was so eager to fly it, I flew it in the living room. Went fine, except no electronics were on during the glide. A great glide, and because of the new flaps, a short flight in the living room is possible because of the even slower flight provided. Maiden Glide video will be in the Multimedia section.

Modification Instructions

The Main way the airplane differs is it's different features, but decoration adds some effect too.
YOU WILL NEED SCISSORS, SCOTCH TAPE, AND PAPER
Required Mods
Side Lift Generators
Step 1- On your wing, cut 2 small slits, around 1/2 inch deep, with the end of a scissor so paper fits in the slit.
Step 2- Cut out 2 small rectangular pieces of paper, but medium-smallish.
Step 3- Fold the cut out paper in half in the way it will still be tall.
Step 4- Insert the piece of paper into each slot.
Paper Flaps
Step 1- Take a new sheet of paper.
Step 2- Cut off the 2 end parts that are shorter, about 2-3 inches wide.
Step 3- Tape the pieces of paper and start taping them to the trailing edge of the wing and leave about 1/2-1 inches of space between the flap and the wing.
Step 4- Also tape the underside of the wing to the flaps.
Wingtips
Step 1- Cut out 2 pieces of paper about the same size of the side lift generator unfolded.
Step 2- Make 4 small looped pieces so both sides are stick-on.
Step 3- On the wingtip, put one loop on the underside and one loop on the top near the end.
Step 4- Put the piece of paper on the tape, but make sure the paper does connect to both loops.
Speed Brake
Step 1- Cut out a piece of paper about the size of 2 unfolded side lift generators.
Step 2- Tape one end of the paper on the underside of the fuselage right behind the battery bay.
Step 3- Fold the paper so it will fold back to it's original flat position, but when re folded it will fold out.
Your UMX Radian is now a UMX Radian SSP!
Now decorate if wanted.
