Mark Kettle 1 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 This person - Bavarian RC - had a visit from a 'fairy' and made this from a Lidl glider. Stating in the video note's, 'The shape of the LIDL glider wasn't too far away, but certainly it would need some modifications... so there I had my challenge, to build an A-10 Warthog from a LIDL chuck glider'. ______________ Video notes:- Flight video of the Lidl A-10 Warthog, having modified so many things compared to the original Lidl glider made me quite nervous before the maiden flight. Nevertheless the CG was just about right and my A-10 only needed some trimming. Flying the A-10 is not really a relaxing experience, but definitely a lot of fun! A good conversion I think.

Simon Chaddock Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Flew my Lidl conversion again today. Intended to be a 'power assisted' glider rather than a power plane the conversion concentrates of weight reduction and aerodynamic improvement. Depron extensions added to eliminate the thick trailing edge so adding to the wing area to part compensate for the extra weight of the RC conversion. The fin had the same treatment (bank and yank so no rudder) and the elevator achieved the result. The tiny 3.7 g aileron servo are buried in the wing. The elevator servo is buried in the fuselage with external pull/pull cables to the elevator horn. A small 50W motor driving a 5x3, a 10 A ESC, 4 channel micro rx and an 850 mAh 2s completes the hardware. Complete ready to go it weighs 225 g. No registration? Needs a folding prop to release its full glide performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcolm woodcock 1 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Not a Lidl glider but I've picked up one of their mini-drones for flying in the house. It's a lot of fun and not as easy as I had expected it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kettle 1 Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 As of this date considering all the conversions of the Lidl glider, this one of Stephen Jones is the most sophisticated, yet. A successful flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Jones Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Thank you Mark. I am pleased with this conversion and flight, so i showed the video to my girlfriend and after she watched it do you know what she said.
