Here is another episode of “Budget RC”. This series is dedicated to finding great RC deals through friends, local RC clubs and swap meets, local sellers on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, eBay, RC Groups, other online forums etc. The goal of this series is to show you a sampling of budget deals for RC vehicles and equipment, as well as to provide a sense of what is out there and how much you should expect to pay.
I found this nicely used E-flite UMX Radian bind-and-fly (BNF) 3-channel RC glider at an RC swap meet organized by the New Hampshire Flying Tigers RC Club. The seller was asking $25, I offered $20, and he accepted my offer. I think it was a fantastic deal (I call it a "steal"). I always wanted to get one of these parkflyers, but it had been discontinued before I could get my hands on one:
