Lidl glider RC conversion

thanks to some excellent content I watched on YouTube I decided to have a go at the Lidl glider conversion, as it was on sale the last week.
I opted for pitcheron and the ambition was to also pack it back into the original box for ease of transportation.
This is my take on it, now waiting for the windy day.
Comments are welcome , as we are all continuously learning.
Thanks for watching!

Late to the party, but getting ready to do a similar conversion. It looks like you did some clever things with the wings and the horizontal stabilizer. A build video would have been of interest. Nice job!

Cool, very simple. Nice job. Friendship of France.

How does it fly, no flying video? Great simple approach to rc conversion. Thanks for the video.

Wait a minute that was a conversion build? Wow very clean job, excellent! 👍🏼

[pierrequelin]

Nice job ! How did you proceed for the axis of the wing without making a cut but keeping the alignment? T.Y.

[space_arrow]

Nice detailed build. Regarding the elastic band attaching to the white fixture on the wings - which white fixture did you use and how did you attach the white fixture to the wings?

How do you set up the transmitter? I am building something similar and i don't know how to set up my transmitter. Thanks!

[Sandokans]

Yes, but how its flying?! Big question

[arthunterns]

Have a same one, just without motor :D

[paulsharpe]

Great video just one thing when powering the receiver the transmitter should be on first this is so there is a control signal to stop the servos randomly moving and possibly damaging themselves or the model

Nice quick build. What size CF did you use...? Will a 3mm work?

[novatriio]

Superb work, just what I'm thinking of doing with mine. Could you give a little more detail on what you used for the wing spar/pitcheron tubes? Do the wire pushrods go straight in to the EPP of the wing or in to something that stops the EPP enlarging through use? And are you using a 5v regulator or putting the lipo (1s/2s?) straight in to the receiver? Many thanks!

I''m adding a small electric motor w/ folding prop to mine :)

Real nice conversion! I am in the USA and it's my understanding that this glider is only available in the UK. Can you get me a link for a UK supplier? I'd like to order one of these for myself.

My guess is everything would have to be slotted and glued in place because you can't drill a straight line at least I wouldn't want to try it mine has to be fiberglass Epp taped and ready for dynamic soaring ... mine's going to be a strong build

nope thats it now i´ll have to get my hands on one of them gliders to convert
