Before we go too much farther, I will speak to the elephant in the room. Yes, the primary focus of this website is RC, primarily in the form of RC Flight and how to do it. That is why I have this website. However, after my daughter was born a couple years ago, I decided I needed to be able to grow food for my family. That is what lead me to experiment enough to crack the code for Growing Watermelon in Lynden, Washington. If you have never been, it is southwest of Vancouver, BC, on the US side of the border.

Now the we have that out of the way, let's talk about how to get you a successful watermelon harvest.
The Final Product
Before you can harvest watermelon that looks like the picture above this text, you need to prepare.
E-flite UMX Radian BNF RC Glider
The E-flite UMX Radian is another plane that was considered for the RC Trainer Plane list, but unlike the UMX Night Vapor, this one does not come with its own Spektrum Radio. You will need one of those to enjoy this excellent micro RC Glider. It flies on 1S battery packs and is best in evenings and mornings when the air is calmest.
E-flite UMX Turbo Timber Evolution RC Bush Plane
I consider this to be in in the running for the best UMX RC Plane ever created, closely followed by the UMX Pitts you will see featured in a different section of this list. This plane has been used by a number of people as a trainer plane due to its great handling, SAFE Select, & AS3X. I do caution people to avoid using this one as a trainer due to the complexity of flaps and it's dynamic flying ability on 3S power. Like the UMX Radian, this plane comes BNF and requires a compatible Spektrum Radio. My favorite features are its great landing gear set and bright light kit.
E-flite Night Radian BNF RC Glider
The E-flite Night Radian is an easy to fly 3-channel glider with a 2 meter wingspan. It also has the best light kit in RC with many different modes and sequences to choose from as you fly through the air, day or night. It requires a 3S battery, so it has plenty of power to gain altitude. It is $240 and is a BNF model that requires a Spektrum Radio.
Arrows RC SZD-54 PNP RC Glider
This is my favorite large glider coming in at 2 meters for only $209. It has tons of great features such as a snap & screw wing design for easy transport, flaps, ailerons, and two wheels on the bottom to safely land on a variety of surfaces. The flaps to an exceptional job of slowing you down to land in a much smaller area than it requires without them. You will need to provide your radio and receiver system of choice, unlike the E-flite Night Radian that requires you to use a Spektrum Radio.
