Bonzo Moon Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 We had a flyable day yesterday and my 4 motor Lidl mini Glider RC conversion built with 4 very small 4 drone motors finally got off the ground. How did it go? 😁.

Thanks, kept me busy over Xmas and I was dead pleased when I got some quite controllable flight from it! £5 model and an old £10 drone! Quite a challenge to fly.

Great effort!. Thanks guys, and yes, you might have heard me chuckle as I retrieved it. Most fun I've had with a model plane in a long time. An interesting design challenge and also a challenge to fly! Brilliant fun. I went to a flying festival in France in September, they were trying to charge 20 euros for those in one stand. Or £10 in a display tent at ground level. Even better when they are a fiver in Lidl. I've got another one at home, not sure what I'll do with it. I have some lightweight servos spare and a micro rx that will work with a 1s lipo? Watch this space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john davidson 1 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Have you obtained on of the Lidl free flight Pteranodons? lots of potential there, my one flies very well so thinking of scaling up two times for rc with a small fan on top.

I missed those and just Googled can't find any information? Sounds like fun though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
