You'll want to solve the problem with the outlet, of course. But beyond that,
you might consider using some method other than checking the status of the
radio buttons to figure out what the program should do. Checking which radio
button is selected implies that there's some sort of state information stored
there which might be better stored in your app's model class. That could make
life difficult if you ever decide to add an interface to your app other than
the GUI.

In simpler terms, just add some variable to your model class, and use that to
store an appropriate value whenever the user clicks on a radio button. Then,
when you need to know which radio button was last selected, you only have to
read that value.
