Build Video - RC conversion of a LIDL glider into a high-speed flying wing - The LIDL DEVIL

How to optimize a plane? Remove everything that is not needed, like a long fuselage or the horizontal stabilizer, add some RC equipment, add a strong motor... and here you are: The LIDL Devil.
This video shows you a quick run-through of all steps of the conversion.

Prop - 9x5

Weight - 400g
Top Speed - 150km/h (GPS)
Flight time - approx. 6-7 min

Reflex - 12 degrees (9mm)
Motor thrust angle - 4 degrees against underside of wing (motor shaft up)
Expo - Aileron 75%, Elevator 65%
Throw - Aileron +/- 6mm, Elevator +/- 6mm
CG - 35mm from leading edge

Great build. Looking forward to visiting Bavaria again and checking out the local clubs

[DukeHyperFPV]

Awesome, great building! Got myself 2 Lidl Glider and will try your version in the next days!

[peterjensen]

Great looking Lidl devil 😈 super conversion, thanks for sharing this video.

I like this build video, especially scene 2:08 - 2:11.

Hi!
Thank You so much for this video!
I wish You good luck and new creative ideas!

My version of the Lidl Devil needs the opposite of your thrust line ! It needs 4° with the motor shaft DOWN not up. Mine is the 2021 version of the Lidl and due to the semi-symmetrical section it needs almost no reflex, certainly 12° is far to much. I have very low power to make it a gentle park flyer.

Innovative, amazing things you can do with a router! 👍🏻

Congratulations on that little devil! Came straight out of "Bayrisch hell", I suppose? 😜🍻

Do you think this is a good 4th lidl rc plane
I have a 2815 detrum motor and a 45 amp or 30 amp esc but I only have a 1000mah 3s do you think it will balance the cg with a smaller battery that you used

[gosurc]

Hello. Do you also not need to add a Bevel to the top of the aileron also? All my factory models have a bevel top and bottom.

Hi! After the succes of my twin I bought yesterday evening 3x Aldi Toylino XL wurügeln. We dont have Lidl Glider here in Hungary. Do you know it? In the box it seems like the same as Lodl Glider.

[TitaniumFPV]

Just wondering what the measurement is for the position of the servos is. I’ve just been out and purchased a Lidl glider I’ve got some spare electronics laying around so thought I’d give it a go. The only bit in your build I can’t see is the servo measurements. Don’t suppose you have build plans separate to this video? Thanks in advance.

I can‘t find the motor. Wich Motor can I use instead of the Graupner ultra 2812 or where can I find this one.

Nice Build Video, Very well thought out, clear to understand, Great conversion. Well done that man.

[astryt]

Could I mod this by also adding a horizontal stabiliser on the Top of vertical stabiliser just for more stability and looks

[Manygma]

I am from Brazil, and I wanted to build one of these, but I can not find to sell in any olaine store, I wanted to know the real name of the aircraft, and what is the meaning of LIDL

[padukoe]

was ist das für ein Dremel aufsatz wo du benutzt hast für den akku schacht vorne ?

[DeadlyDiddly]

I love this mod, I left mine more standard and added a top-mounted pusher prop, it flies really well!

p.s. could you post a link where to get some of that wire you used for the pushrods?

[wolfgang]

Very good ideas ! How did you fix the cabin hood ?

[thelongranger]

Very inspired by ur design !, u did this very professional, I really like the carbonfiber rods it’s the same thing I would do, I just subscribed.
