Mk2 Lidl Glider Pitcheron full Build

#StephenJonesRcAircraft #lidl #lidlglider #conversion

Re visit the Pitcheron Lidl Glider this time I am using the new 2021 version of the Lidl Glider.
And the full build is in one video so you do not miss any part.
I am using a soldering iron to melt a groove into the wing for the pivot spar.
Other than that it will be exactly the same as my previous version so that we can see if there's any improvement over the old and new gliders.

Parts needed.

4Ch Radio Receiver and Transmitter
2 x 9 gram servos
Linkage Stopper D2.1mm

Hot glue Gun, Hobby Knife,
A hole making tool ;-)
AuW of this model 245g
Cog 50mm - 55mm from LE

I built mine just like this one but after flight tests I changed the servo arms to point forward rather than back to give less movement of the wing and a slightly more precise movement. Mine will roll, loop, bunt and fly inverted for ever. It is absolutely lovely to fly.Very pleased indeed.

Got everything finished, had a problem with getting a receiver to bind with my grandsons dx5e transmitter, but all good, set both aileron and elevator at 30 degrees, and will progress from there, thanks for your excellent videos 👍👍👍👍👍

Super! Very Great explained video and the subtitle makes it much easier to understand the video with the individual steps.

Great will be watching for the flight difference.Thanks Stephen

[hirow]

Thanks a lot for this very nice and detailed build. 👌

Hello, what is your CG ? I built a pusher plank type but think my c.g is a further forward than yours. I know it's a old video but can you tell me ..
Cheers

Very tidy conversion, great work, thanks for sharing!

[ARCSoaring]

Loved the build video Stephen, and well explained. I’ll look forward to seeing it fly.

On the main wing tube spar you cut the outer sleeve into 3 pieces and you use 4 washers to hold the the wings from sliding off the inner spar? I am in the process of building one and have never done a pitcheron set up. Seems like a awesome lil glider and a fun project. Thanks for this tutorial, if you have any tips please advise... Have a great day!

Saving this one for reference. Nicely done, Stephen 👍👍

[RS-roio]

What type (symbol) of receiver did you use? Great video!

[edwardryan]

What is the reason for using the UBEC, and what unit was it

[julien]

hello, congratulations that's great! How much the plane weighs with the modifications?

I am in Australia so cant find these gliders but i did find one that is remakably similar so am going to try this concept The one i have has a C of G at 70mm back from the leading edge at the fuselage join when flown as a chuck glider. Does the pitcheron pivot point need to be installed at some "relationship" to the C of G. I noticed in your video that the pivot point is behind the C of G.Luckily I can get a whole bunch of them pretty cheap for some trial and error. Great video by the way .... Subtitles are excellent ...

Great video. I have build classic lidl conversion with ailerons and elevator. I think pitcheron version has better ability to trim glider wing axis vs elevator axis.

Curious as to the sheer Size of your Bat eliminator... Bigger than the Battery and Triple the size of the Rx. A very odd choice.

I will try this conversation. Good video. And without silly comments,
Like on the Flybrei tutorial Videos.👍😉😁

[samnelson]

Nice build! I live in the US and can't seem to find these, can I buy them online somewhere?

[meljones]

What are your thoughts on taking the dihedral out of the wing?. I have copied this pitcheron design and find that elevator works but if your not careful it is easy to induce a stall, I think that this might be caused by drag from the wing while using the elevator. I was wondering if flattening the wing would help.

Hello. It is a video with this convertion?!
