Lidl Glider XL first attempt


Recommended Posts

Like many others I queued at the Lidl checkout with my toy gliders in hand and the usual other impulse buys.

The conversion was straightforward but on Mk II I will split the horizontal stabiliser in half to align the hinge line and have tip ailerons driven by a coil spring from the inboard ones.

Test flights tomorrow so we'll see how well she goes on the aerotow.

All went well and it was great on the aerotow, a couple of pilot induced strains on the line. Will reduce elevator throw a bit. Need to test it on the slope, an awful lot of fun for a few pounds as all kit came from the spares/repairs box.
