You may have seen the very windy maiden of my Lidl RC 'Hunter'? Well here's the step-by-step build blog. Long video, but chapter links below and parts list is also in video description. Since the maiden I've adjusted throws a bit, increased expo and given it a bit more down and right thrust so hopefully it'll be a bit less challenging to fly next time. And less windy! Check out the maiden too.

It was a bit breezy for a lightweight, but my conversion of a cheap Lidl foamie glider to an RC 'Hunter' finally got a maiden. ๐ It survived, though I came close to losing it at one point when I couldn't stop it climbing and the strong wind was taking it further and further away. ๐ณ Plus I made a really dumb mistake after breaking the prop 1st throw. First time I'd made that silly mistake in 10+ years of RC plane messing about. ๐ It'll fly even better next time after a few improvents!

After 11 Lidl cheap foamie glider RC conversions I've come up with my first design intended to be a fast aerobatic plane. The Lidl RED DEVIL. And the maiden didn't disappoint (once I'd calmed my nerves down a bit! ). Quick intro to the design and then the exciting windy maiden, which it almost survived unbroken. ๐คจ

My Lidl cheap foamie glider RC build no7 from a couple of years ago, my 1st EDF version, had an update, namely a thrust tube for the EDF. Did it make any difference to performance that is the question? AND another lesson learned in this great hobby that never stops giving! Two new builds coming soon, watch this space!

Thanks. I'll check that out. -
Lidl Hunter build update - Potential CG issue? Help!
Bonzo Moon replied to Bonzo Moon's topic in All Things Model Flying
I must say that has worked well on that model, but I'm not sure it'd look as good on that Hunter style of aircraft. Much smaller tail to start with? I hate launching pushers I must say, you seem to have a good method there. -
Update on progress with my Lidl RC 'Hunter'. This is my no 11 cheap foamie Lidl glider RC conversion, (build blogs nearly all on my channel,) and I think I may have a little problem with this one? Need some helpful ideas please, and not just cut off the nose of the plane! Plus other work in progress at the moment.
