LIDL glider RC conversion - TWIN TURBO LIDL - Build Video

[@SlavaStels]

The cleanest Lild Glider build I've seen so far! BRAVO!

Nice build. I flew in the 80’s. Built about 10 or so. Technology wasn’t as light and evolved as it is now. Keep on with the good stuff!

[@bavarian_rc]

I started building and flying in the mid 80s. Later I stopped the hobby for about 25 years before to re-start in the age of light brushless motors and powerful Lipo batteries. So I know what you mean. Quite an evolution. Great that you liked my video! Cheers!

Back in the 1980s, the problem was cost. Everything was SOOO expensive. Today's electronics have made the hobby/sport far more accessible

[@paulbrouyere1735]

@@Dave5843-d9m True. It was expensive. But nowadays regulations have become so much more complicated. Watched a discussion about FPV today.

i just stopped the video in 1. minute and bring my coffe to watch this artwork. Not only job is perfect it is also perfect to edit and record all this 2 week long video. my regards. perfect !

[@NDMCN]

I would suggest you to use 2 bladed propeller for more efficient flights also they will allow you to go faster with right 2 bladed propeller rather than 3 blade ones

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks a lot! Your comment saved my day 😊if you liked this build than have a look at the other build videos on my channel… and of course don‘t miss the flight video of the Twin Turbo Lidl.

[@bavarian_rc]

My initial thought for the 3 bladed props was to keep the diameter small and avoid breaking props at landing. But obviously breaking was never an issue with the flexible HQ props. Never thought about going back to a 2 blade prop. But you are right, efficiency will be better. Definitely worth a try.

[@NDMCN]

@@bavarian_rc there is too little gain between 2 and 3 blades at this diameters but we fly with 3 blades with drones mainly because of the feeling while doing sudden movements. Also at static thrust tests you will see there is not much difference in thrust but you will draw less amp from battery. İ also have my own lidl build with lion setup you can try 4s or 5s lion 18650 batteries if your esc allow you with this motor and 5" props for long flights but stick to the lipo for this kind of crazy flights, anyway still 4s would be great to watch hehe have a nice day

[@bavarian_rc]

4s? That would make this thing even more crazy 🤩🤣

Thanks for this brilliantly well presented conversion video. Just completed the conversion myself and hoping to maiden tomorrow.

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks for your positive feedback. Keep my fingers crossed for your maiden! I still fly my Twin Turbo Lidl a lot. It has around 150 flights already. Greetings from Bavaria 🙌

[@paulcox3229]

@@bavarian_rc . Good afternoon from the UK 👋. I’m pleased to report that the maiden flight was a great success. Very little trim required and superb handling. Could I please ask what percentage of differential thrust you have programmed? I’ve started at 25%, but think I could dial in more. Thanks again for posting your video cataloguing the conversion. I really appreciate the effort that this must have taken you.

[@bavarian_rc]

That‘s great news! I actually went quite crazy with the differential thrust and used 85%. This allows for these weird flat spins. To enter the flat spin I usually pull up vertically, then reduce thrust to about 50%, wait a moment until the plane has slowed down and then slam in full nose down and full left aileron. About 1 second later I add full differential thrust to the right still keeping full down and full left aileron. The plane stays in the flat spin as long as you keep these control inputs. My longest flat spin was like 20 seconds. Thanks again for your feedback. That‘s the strongest motivation for me to continue producing such content.

[@paulcox3229]

@@bavarian_rc Excellent. I thought I needed more differential, but didn’t appreciate just how much! Will tweak my Tx parameters immediately 😉. Thank you so much for walk through for entering the flat spin too. I don’t have another flying slot until 2024 now (no too long), but will be sure to update you on progress. Good fun this hobby isn’t it? Merry Christmas from the small village of Bisley, Surrey. Paul. 🧑‍🎄

[@bavarian_rc]

At the moment I am also not flying a lot due to either bad weather or the fact that the time before Christmas is always pretty busy. Sometimes I just strap my Twin Turbo to my backpack and take it with me on a Sunday afternoon family walk to do 1 or 2 flights (have a look at my Instagram account to see how that looks like). It always guarantees some suprised looks of other people seeing me walk by with a toy plane strapped to my back. For me this is the best hobby in the world. I am trying to get my boy into the hobby and we are currently building together his first own RC plane. I try to do what my father did with me when I was young. Keep me updated on your further progress and if you want, send me a foto of your Lidl (my mail address is in the channel impressum). I would really love to see how it looks like. I wish you as well a merry Christmas and great flying in 2024. Cheers, Robert.

[@1mikeb]

That's probably one of the nicest LIDL conversions I've seen, very clean. I like the 2 motor approach. I'm starting my own and will use many of your techniques, and 2 motors. I am building it much lighter, trying to keep it under 400g. I recommend cutting the packing tape off the ESCs to help with cooling. Looking forward to a flight video!

[@bavarian_rc]

Hey Mike thanks a lot! The twin setup is definitely a lot of fun (especially with the differential thrust). Will be interesting to see how the light weight approach works ... below 400g with twins could be a challenge. The cooling of the ESCs is still quite OK. The max. temp is around 65-70°C. I will have to see what happens during summer. If they get too hot I will test without the packing tape. Enjoy your Lidl build,

[@bavarian_rc]

Ahh, forgot to speak about the flight video... The video shots are all done, now I need to start the editing (which is always quite time consuming). If you can't wait just head over to my instagram account (bavarian.rc) to see some first flight video clips.

Amazing! I am also making experiments like you. Currently I am on DIY from scratch plane proto of pure polystyrene. You can get rid of bullets of Styropor after digging with very fast flame of fire it collapsed the surface drastically. I did not know dremel could do the holes like you show. I like to use fiber glass and epoxy too to bring back rigidity after getting extra space

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks! Even if I am more a balsa build lover it is always fun doing some crazy Lidl glider conversions. Never tried confronting styrofoam with fire. The Dremel works quite nicely but still leaves a big mess to clean up afterwards. Except for the CF reinforcements I also did'nt try epoxy and fiber glass yet. Worth a try next time 👍Curious to see your current project make it into a video on your channel. Cheers from Bavaria

[@POCarton]

You are really good at free hand cutting with the dremel. I would have been all over the place. Nice work.

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks! The trick is the tape around and to make an small cut with the blade first. The dremel runs along the cut like on rails.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

@@bavarian_rc Also be careful which side of the cutter you use. Teeth cutting down into the job, will encourage it to dig into the work. Using the tool so it cuts upwards (away from the job) is less aggressive.

[@bavarian_rc]

You are certainly right. As it was only foam I was a bit lazy about this but still had to hold the dremel quite firmly.

[@diggiz22]

Wow Tidy job. Best conversion I've seen yet.

[@elektron2kim666]

Fooling around with my first ESC/BEC/motors and propellers. I'm getting some ideas with the extra servos I need for control. My first experiment will be mounted on a plastic truck (RC) and might include a Raspberry Pi Pico with code for PWM throttle and maybe temperature. I'm a bit stuck with some details and it's not included in any videos.

[@bavarian_rc]

Hi, that sounds interesting but hearing Raspberry Pi indicates that this beyond my skills 😂 Nevertheless I‘ll give it a try. Where are you stuck currently?

[@danratsnapnames]

FYI if you coat that wing with box tape, you wont have to put a reinforcing rod into it, and it smooths out the wing. if you layer the tape to overlap towards the rear, you create more lift due to the stair casing affect of the layering. i used to do this with gliders and mount 0.49's on them and fly them during the early 2000's.

[@bavarian_rc]

I am using packing tape a lot on my foam board builds to reinforce them. Never thought about using it on a foamy except for covering things like ESC in the wing. Need to try this. Do the layers work like a kind of KFm airfoil?

[@danratsnapnames]

@@bavarian_rc it can if you layer it so that the top stepps towards the leading edge and the bottom steps towards the rear of the wind. you'll cause the top the drag and the bottom to slip. which in turn causes lift. also if you pull the tape while setting it onto the wing, you'll cause a slight tension on the wing, then when you do the 2nd side it will pull it back, which causes the wing to become very rigid.

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks a lot. Quite interesting effect. The way you explain it makes totally sense. Tension on both sides will in effect make it totally strong. I will definitely try it 👍

[@danratsnapnames]

@@bavarian_rc another tip for those foam gliders, before you tape it, Sand it with an 80 grit sand paper.. you can alter the shape and smooth out the surface, and it will help the tape to stick really good.

[@danratsnapnames]

@@bavarian_rc also i have to say, that your hatch idea, with the easy release was a really good one that i have not thought of.. which is very rare, seeing that i have been doing rc planes since the early 80's.. :)

Yo hubiese instalado los Becs en la gacela atras del motor para que refrigeren.. Ingeniosa adaptacion!!!!

Thanks! For better cooling you could certainly put the ESCs into the nacelles. There were 2 reasons why I didn't do it. First: The ESCs don't get too hot. The max. temperature is typically around 60°C. Second: This thing is pretty much nose heavy. So every gram I could get behind the center of gravity (CG is at the position of the carbon tube) was helping me to avoid adding more weight in the tail. Greetings from Bavaria!

[@wizard_techie]

Great video. I built a very similar Lidl twin a few years ago and it is still flying well and frequently now. I mounted my motors above the wing which seems good so it will be interesting to see if yours pitches up under power...

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks! I had some pitch up effects under power at the beginning. After some flights I found a motor down thrust of 2,5 degrees working quite well to compensate the effect. Another issue with mounting the motors under the wing is that the props are touching the ground when landing. By using the HQ props which have some flexibility I managed to avoid broken props. Check out the flight video to see how it behaves in the air: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5CrZ6aMmLKCntk

[@rubenburgos6]

Very clean build, I would use foam safe CA on a lot of areas to reduce weight, slow down with the hot glue lol. Nice build!

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks! You are possibly right that I could be a little bit less generous with hot glue 😂 Nevertheless hot glue easily fills gaps which means I don't have to cut too precise (like for the carbon spar). But in other areas foam safe CA glue could easily be used 👍

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Because these gliders are made of very flexible EPP not stiff and brittle EPS, using a hard and brittle adhesive like CA (Superglue) would NOT be a good choice. As the foam flexes the CA will crack away from it. Also "Foam Safe" glues are for EPS - with EPP you can use things like rubber/contact cements which contain toluene. Using them on EPS would give a gooey mess instantly! Provided you make fairly neat fitting joints and scrape off any extrusions, hot glue makes a good and reasonably light job. Also 1 slight problem with EPP foamies is that there is often mold-release compound still coating the outside. This can make it difficult to get glues/tapes/adhesives to stick properly. You can try cleaning the mating surfaces with isopropyl alcohol or roughing them up with sandpaper but generally a good hot application of hot glue will slightly melt into the foam and produce a really solid bond. And speaking of flexibility, you will notice that the builder has opted for slightly flexible props rather than the very stiff (and brittle) props used on racing quads. These are a little less efficient than the stiff ones but will take a LOT MORE heavy landings before they need replacing! 😉

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks for giving a lot better answer than I did 😜 I didn’t think of the effect of the brittle CA on the flexible EPP. 👍 Cheers!

[@martinb.770]

For fine slices into the foam I'd prefer a soldiering iron with temperature control, which makes less fuzz, though, depending on the used glue (epoxy or CA) the dremel result might work better. Heat glue has some advantages, but only with specific materials.

[@bavarian_rc]

The mess when working with the dremel is not as bad as it looks. The vacuum cleaner does the job. Maybe next time I try my hot knife. Should work similar to a soldering iron. On this type of foam I prefer hot glue or PU glue. With CA or Epoxy the results were not as good.

Um dann noch Differential Thrust zu haben, habe ich einen freien Mischer von Kanal 4 (eigentlich Seitenruder) auf Kanal 1 (also Motor rechts) mit 85% so einrichten, dass bei Seitenruder rechts der rechte Motor runter geregelt wird. In gleicher Weise habe ich einen weiteren freien Mischer von Kanal 4 auf Kanal 6 (also linker Motor) mit 85% so eingerichtet, dass bei Seitenruder links der linke Motor runter geregelt wird. Die beiden Mischer für Differential Thrust habe ich bei mir noch auf einen Schalter gelegt um das ganze ein- und ausschalten zu können. Ich hoffe, das hat Deine Frage beantwortet. Falls nicht, einfach nochmal melden.

[@derbastelopabaut1355]

Boh, ist bestimmt ne Super Ansteuerung der beiden Brushless. Aber geht das nicht einfacher? Y bzw. V- Kabel an Thrust, je einen BEC an V- Kabel, an einem BEC davon das rote Kabel abtrennen und Plus und Minus tauschen damit dieser Brushless gegenläufig läuft. Hatte ich mal bei einer Trans All so gemacht. O.K....ein Motor läuft dann etwas später, kaum merkbar !, an. Beide Motore laufen dann immer zur gleichen Zeit gleich Stark, das hat mir aber voll und ganz gereicht. Wozu noch unterschiedliche Drehzahlen je Seite?, wozu noch Zu und Abschaltbar ? bei einem LIDL Flieger.....

[@bavarian_rc]

Hi, ja natürlich geht das auch einfacher mit Y-Kabel. Ich wollte aber unbedingt Differential Thrust, denn wenn man die beiden Motoren per "Seitenruder"-Funktion mit unterschiedlicher Drehzahl ansteuern kann, dann sind damit ziemlich verrückte Manöver möglich. Schau Dir mal das Flugvideo von meinem Twin Turbo Lidl an. Diese extrem schnellen Flachtrudel-Manöver gehen nur mit Differential Thrust. Dass ich das Differential Thrust noch ein und ausschalten kann braucht's nicht wirklich, war eher eine Vorsichtsmaßnahme falls ich beim Programmieren was verbockt habe, dann kann ich's einfach deaktivieren.

[@mustangxxmatty3106]

why not use hot knife instead of the Dremel less mess and way clear lines??

[@bavarian_rc]

Good idea! Never tried with a hot knife. I will give it a try next time. At least for some of the cuts it could work well. Removing all the material from the fuselage could be a bit tricky.

I used thin carbon strips to reinforce everything, and used gorilla glue/ugu por to glue them in. Why did you take out the dihedral? What benefits does it give you?

[@bavarian_rc]

Thanks for the info

[@bavarian_rc]

The dihedral leads to a self stabilizing effect. I was looking for high maneuverability with very high roll rates. The dihedral would counteract to this. If you would go for a very light thermal glider you would want to have dihedral for stabilizing the plane while circling in the thermals.

[@gosurc1860]

What’s the benefit of using carbon tube vs carbon rod?

[@bavarian_rc]

If you compare a carbon tube and a carbon rod of the same weight (meaning rod with a smaller diameter than the tube) then the tube is much stronger (stiffer) than the rod. So in the end the benefit is to save weight.

In case I need to reverse a servo I do this in the settings of the transmitter. If your transmitter doesn‘t have this feature you can still use normal servos and just rotate the installation position if needed

How will you land without breaking the props?

Hi, the props I use have some flexibility. During around 175 flights I didn’t have a single broken prop. I use 2x HQ 3-blade 5x4,3 or 2x T-Motor T 5146 Clear Red. Both work great. The T-Motor props have a bit more punch.

Servus Claus. Vielen Dank für deine tolles Feedback. Ich habe den Akku vorne unter der Haube untergebracht. Damit ist er natürlich gnadenlos kopflastig. Da ich aber immer mit GPS Logger fliege, habe ich den ganz hinten am Leitwerk angebracht und krieg damit den Schwerpunkt schon fast hin. Ein paar Gramm Blei hab ich zusätzlich noch ans Höhenleitwerk geklebt. Schau mal auf meinem Instagram Kanal vorbei da hab ich auch mal Bilder vom Akku Einbau gepostet. Das war im Mai 2022.

[@SentamilSelvan94]

I’m a bit confused by the new German model aircraft regulation. This build is about 580g. Does it mean I have to get a certification before I fly this plane? The regulation say that I don’t need certification for something less than 250g. In that case I would try to build something with smaller battery and single motor. But again, can someone clarify if my understanding is right?

[@bavarian_rc]

As a simplified view: Every model that is heavier than 250g needs to have your eID (your registration) attached to it. If your model is heavier than 2kg or you are flying higher than 120m above ground you need a proof of knowledge ("Kenntnisnachweis").

Hi, @Bavarian RC What contoller do you recommend to use for this build? The cheap one.

[@bavarian_rc]

That depends a bit on your motor setup. I used 18A controllers that I already had lying around. They get warm during flight but not more than 70 degrees. So no need form a bigger ESC but I would also not take a smaller one. I would say any cheap 18 to 20A controller would be fine

Vielen Dank Supper anleitung, habe mich beschlossen gleich nachzumachen, fand die idee echt super für meinen sohn was unkaputbares zu basteln !!! Könten Sie mir evtl , tipts zu Remote einstellungen schreibem , ob motoren auf dem gleichen kanal liegen und ob die beim fliegen wenden noch zusätzlich separat gesteuert werden !? Unsere erster Flieger 😁👍

[@bavarian_rc]

Vielen Dank für das positive Feedback. Bei mir sind die beiden Motoren auf jeweils einem eigenen Kanal und dann über einen Mischer kombiniert. Zusätzlich habe ich noch differential thrust, d.h. ich kann mit dem Seitenruder Kanal einen Motor abbremsen und den anderen auf Drehzahl lassen. Das führt dann zum Beispiel zu den lustigen flat spins (siehe mein Flugvideo vom Twin Turbo Lidl). Wenn das euer erster Flieger ist, dann muss ich euch aber auch warnen. Meine Konfiguration ist ziemlich übermotorisiert und auch die Querruder sind ziemlich groß um maximale Agilität zu haben. Das ist so in der Form nicht wirklich Anfänger tauglich. Solltet ihr schon genügend Flugerfahrung haben, dann ist das natürlich kein Problem. Bei weiteren Fragen einfach melden.

[@leusenkoeduard1729]

Danke für ausführliche Antwort, das Flug Video habe ich auch angesehen, fand echt super, das Model ist wirklich agil und schnell müste ich nachher auch feststellen 🤣🤣🤣 aber mit anderen motoren denke könnte mann auch die Geschwindigkeit etwas drosseln oder mit dem regler , bin erlich gesagt fast fertig mit dem Modell und bräuchte evtl . noch paar Tips zu Qklappen auschlägen und weiteren Einstellungen habe Gr MZ-24 , wenn Sie mir da noch paar Tips zu Agilität Drosselung von Q ruder oder Regler Einstellungen geben würden, wäre 👍 Fahre selbst Endurance ode E-boote 🤣 ist doch etwas anders .

Ps' anderen BauVideos auch shon alle angesehen , sehr gründliche präzise und saubere Verarbeitung - wirklich Toll'

[@bavarian_rc]

Ok, wenn der Flieger schon fast fertig ist, dann muss der auch in die Luft 😉 Ich würde dann halt nicht mit Vollgas fliegen. Ich schicke Dir mal ein paar meiner Einstellungen, dann hast Du einen Anhaltspunkt um gegebenenfalls dann alles etwas weniger aggressiv einzustellen. Erst mal zur Kanalbelegung an meinem Graupner GR-12. Ich habe auf Kanal 1 den ESC vom rechten Motor, Kanal 2: Querruder links, Kanal 3: Höhenruder, Kanal 4: Querruder rechts, Kanal 5: Telemetrie, Kanal 6 ESC vom linken Motor. Bei beiden ESC's nach Anleitung den Weg einlernen (also Vollgas und Nullstellung) Ausschläge der Querruder (gemessen ganz innen beim Rumpf): 13mm hoch, 12mm runter mit 70% Expo. Ausschlag Höhenruder (gemessen ganz innen bevor die Schräge hochgeht): 10mm hoch und 9mm runter mit 40% Expo. Die Ausschläge würde ich für zahmere Flugeigenschaften auf jeweils 50-60% reduzieren. Wichtig ist das hohe Expo beim Querruder, da er um die Mittellage herum sonst sehr nervös wird. Im Menü "freier Mischer" einen Mischer von Kanal 1 auf Kanal 6 einrichten mit 100% (dadurch geht der linke Motor synchron mit dem rechten Motor mit). Falls Du Differential Thrust haben willst, einen freien Mischer von Kanal 4 (eigentlich Seitenruder) auf Kanal 1 (also Motor rechts) mit 85% so einrichten, dass bei Seitenruder rechts der rechte Motor runter geregelt wird. In gleicher Weise einen weiteren freien Mischer von Kanal 4 auf Kanal 6 (also linker Motor) mit 85% so einrichten, dass bei Seitenruder links der linke Motor runter geregelt wird. Die beiden Mischer für Differential Thrust habe ich bei mir noch auf einen Schalter gelegt um das ganze ein- und ausschalten zu können.

[@bavarian_rc]

Der Regler ist vergleichbar mit meinem, hat aber keine Telemetrie, was kein Problem ist. Die MZ-24 habe ich auch, schöner Sender!👍 Ich betreibe den Flieger mit 3S 1800 mAh. Damit bekomme ich ca. 5:30 Minuten Flugzeit wenn ich nur ab und zu Vollgas gebe und sonst mit ca. 50-60% Gas fliege. Mit 2S habe ich das noch nicht versucht. Damit wäre auf jeden Fall der Schwerpunkt leichter zu erreichen. Ich muss meinen GPS Logger ganz hinten vor dem Seitenleitwerk befestigen um den Schwerpunkt zu erreichen (60mm von der Flügelvorderkante). Zu den Motoren noch: Ich hatte meine zunächst mit zu wenig Sturz eingebaut und habe dann später die Motoren so lange weiter nach unten gekippt bis ich bei Lastwechsel keine starken Auf- und Ab-Bewegungen mehr hatte. Die Motoren sollten also ca. 1,5 Grad (gegenüber der Profilsehne) nach unten geneigt sein. Ich habe mir hierzu eine 3D gedruckte keilförmige Scheibe (in der Größe des Motors) unter die Motoren gelegt. Kannst aber auch einfach Unterlegscheiben dazwischen packen bis der Winkel stimmt. Wichtig ist noch bei den Propellern welche zu nehmen die etwas flexibel sind (so wie meine HQ props), sonst brechen die Propeller bei jeder Landung. Die HQ Props haben fast 100 Flüge hinter sich und sind noch nie gebrochen. Die Flügel abnehmbar machen geht sicher, bringt halt Zusatzgewicht mit sich. Da der Flieger sehr klein ist, habe ich alles fest verklebt. Ach ja, noch ne Frage: Welchen Lidl Flieger hast Du als Basis genommen? Den von 2022 oder von 2021? Ich frage deshalb weil der 2021 Flieger (den hab ich verwendet) ein besseres (halbsymmetrisches) Flügelprofil hat und weniger Einstellwinkel-Differenz zwischen Höhenleitwerk und Flügel (was prinzipiell auch besser ist). Meine ganzen Angaben beziehen sich auf dieser Version von 2021. Der 2022 Flieger war wie die früheren Versionen von 2020 und die Jahre davor mit einem Profil mit gerader Unterseite ausgestattet und deutlich mehr Einstellwinkel-Differenz. Wenn Du diese Version hast musst Du evtl. eine Einstellungen anpassen, aber das wird sich im Flug zeigen. Ich hab auch schon einige Lidl Flieger auf der Basis 2022 umgebaut, die gehen auf jeden Fall auch gut. Bei höheren Geschwindigkeiten gefällt mir aber die 2021 Version besser. So jetzt hast Du erst mal einiges zu Lesen 😁Schöne Grüße und viel Erfolg.
