Lidl glider RC modification with folding propeller

[@keithfreeman5204]

Same basic set-up. Full Micro 4 channel, thr,elv,rud,ail. I used both a Cox .049 reed & .051 TeeDee port timed. .049 mid range in speed. 8 minute flight times. The TeeDee powered is a screamer, Fully Aerobatic. 5 minute flights.

[@tankogenonrcgroups9750]

Keep the dihedral!!! That’s what I would do.

[@steveclough6794]

great modification i have two gliders still in the box just trying to work out the best electronics to use ie motor esc

[@tomni8493]

Great video. This exact model can be bought at K-mart in Australia for 10 AUD. (May 2022), and I am in the process converting one myself. I am hoping to do it as a 2 channel keeping the dihedral without motor, and later add motor and maybe ailerons.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

If you don't want to do crazy aerobatics with it Tom, you just put the ailerons on the outer sections of the wings in as far as the dihedral bend. We also made them into twin motor cruisers with salvaged motors/ESCs from scrapped quads mounted on thin aluminium angle screwed onto plastic wall plugs glued through the wings.These mounts sit flush with the bottom of the wings and can be bent down slightly as required. So no torque roll and the thrust line goes pretty well straight through the wing. They fly beautifully on 3s and a Byme-A stabilizer.

[@babumohan4549]

efforts given triumph.good project for new rc diy flyers.thank you sir.

[@mrsmith4662]

Nice job.

[@RcAircraft]

Nice light weight conversion.

[@ambrozywajcha1262]

hello sir I have a question I saw your fly sky apparatus what receiver and engine you used

[@Sandokans]

Hi, nice work! The motor have some down thrust and right?!

[@Joyplanes]

Yes, down thrust mostly.

[@arekporong2910]

Very good video, in making this glider is not required ESC ...?

[@truth409]

Mine has fiberglass top and bottom spurs Followed by carbon fiber cloth and fiberglass vacuum bag I took it dynamic soaring if you know what that is and got it to 165 miles an hour....Weighs 6 kg.

[@JanoUrda]

Thats lovely! Nice to watch!

[@minhpham8022]

Great video. Thank you! Just a silly question, you didn’t list a link to buy an ECS in the description. Is an ECS required? Could you help with a diagram or link on how to wire the parts together?

[@weltvonoben]

Without ESC no brushless motor I guess

[@Flybrei]

Nice work 👍

[@bobwebber8521]

I am trying to put together a short video to try and find a suitable site close to where I live. Would you be kind enough to give me permission to use parts of your excelenent video (Lidl glider RC modification with folding propeller) for local viewing? It would be much appreciated. Thank you for your hard work.

[@elainewaldock4536]

if you live in dublin greystones or dalkey sum great slopes ya man never replys ???

[@FromAboveAndBeyondChannel]

Super i must buy one of this seen many builds now. 😀

[@mathaka-ekathuwa]

Please provide the details about the electronic...

[@Joyplanes]

There it is. I forgot to put it before. Cheers.

[@mathaka-ekathuwa]

​@@Joyplanes Thanks, bro.

[@elcotorro]

Que bien. Buen trabajo. Ayuda por favor construi uno igual Pero Bimotor y un poco mas grande pero ocupa casi el 100 % de potencia y ocasiona que a los pocos minutos como 5 se sobrecalienta alguno de los dos motores y se quema, ya van 2 veces que se queman.tienen 1 speed control cada motor. Que los motores no estan diseñado para 3 celdas? Motor que uso 1806 2208kv MARKS o sera que son de baja calidad? MIL GRACIAS

[@centaurixon]

That slope looks like a good soaring spot for paragliders. What place is that?

[@Joyplanes]

Howth Ireland. Down there is only water, so I'm not sure if it's safe to fly there.

[@centaurixon]

@@Joyplanes Haha, yes you need a backup to land. So it is not a suitable spot, it looks really sweet though. You can be lucky to live there.

[@Joyplanes]

@@centaurixon I have to drive about 40 min to get there though.

[@battifortesempre1432]

♥️love videos like this!

[@854gabryel]

Man this is awesome I’m subscribed! Btw that place is amazing can I ask where it is?

[@Joyplanes]

It's in Howth Ireland.

[@rileyhowe9610]

Good job 👍🏻

[@RobisonRacing68]

Nice job!

[@alessandroinn469]

Hi! Nice project...what' s the ESC used for this motor? thqnk you ;)

[@Joyplanes]

It's a 30A ESC for drone racing but modified with a Buck converter to energize the receiver with 5v

[@mattes217]

You can get them at action markt in the Netherlands and Germany for 2 bucks

[@normalcuber-j5d]

I wonder what is the moter KV. 2000 or 3800?

[@Sandokans]

I think 2000 kv

[@gasperbucinel]

Was 1811 motor powerful enough??

[@Joyplanes]

Yes. And this is a glider so I just need it to climb a bit and then glide. The motor and propeller were ok for this plane.

[@F139]

Very nice bro ! 2 questions though What type of glue to use ? Do you really need to flatten the dihaderal ?

[@Joyplanes]

The glue is the gorilla CA glue and for a servo I used hot glue, the dihedral needs to be flat in order for the aileron to work.

[@F139]

@@Joyplanes i think smaller ailerons might have worked well !

[@F139]

@@Joyplanes can you tell me the prop type used on this glider ? Thanks in advance

[@Joyplanes]

@@F139 look in the description for folding propeller

[@F139]

@@Joyplanes thanks bro! Nice work

[@abdulkader5470]

Can I use a 2212 or 2208 motor and 3S battery?

[@Joyplanes]

Yes. It will go faster with that setup.

[@kidalainababy5337]

Please please please tell me the flight time of this plane.

[@Joyplanes]

Only gliding it could fly for a long time, something like 1 hour, but if you use the motor all the time it can only fly about 15 min or a bit less.

[@eleazarguzmanrn6945]

Very cool! U make it look easy.

[@gwenaelguesdon7899]

Could I use a 11.1v lipo 2200mAh battery ?

[@Joyplanes]

No. That battery would be really heavy for this glider. You should use a 300 or 600 mAh battery.

[@hamzasellek894]

What if I used a 2200kv motor ​@@Joyplanes

[@georgepieterse6800]

NICE!

[@MikeHammer1]

Would someone please sell this in the USA? They only sell junky styrofoam models and tiny EPO's here.

[@guyroscopes6507]

Always fly over long grass to save light planes from major crash damage. Lol

[@Joyplanes]

I do that with my 2.5m wingspan glider.

[@Timessquareful]

Super

[@wheatboy2468]

great (y)

[@t-art2780]

👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@anonymxs._7570]

Who needs rudder, right?

[@dodo3441]

Oh no! Why not attatch the motor so that there's just a little gap between fuselage and spinner. It hurts my soul & eyes. The rest was nice and clean.

[@davidemattiuzzo]

Hi, nice job. How did you manage to fix the propeller to the engine? It does not have a locking screw. And what battery did you use? Greetings from northern Italy.

[@shortsunderland]

hello, can you give us the references of the engine, the propeller, the battery, and the controller? thank you

[@rom1450]

wahou!! beautiful chemtrail on the sky ........

[@Kamy-v4u]

Que chapuza

[@Вертилоид]

Я сделал вполне бюджетный вариант. С воздушки PCP завалил ворону. На столе её расправил в положение полёта вверх лапами. Размах получился 58 см. Сушил долго.... Месяц. Воняла ссука сильно первые две недели. К лапам приделал колёсики 40 мм. Мотор 2205 посадил на моторамку в клюв. Благо клюв позволяет. . Литий 2 банки. Вес получился 390 грамм. Летает стабильно. Сейчас хочу убить вОрона. У него размах до 70 см можно получить. В идеале конечно лучше цаплю использовать - из неё можно дальнолета до 10 км хорошего сделать🤔👍. Такие вот дела.

[@michaeldeering3195]

Get a sharp blade for god sake

[@oliverclothier5915]

Hi you said you would have a link to parts can you post it thanks again, looking forward to making my lidi glider RC

[@somchaithong9010]

wow

[@elmermoran7000]

How do you do that

[@allesubermodellflugzeuge6119]

You should build a so called Newflidl. Search on KZbin for: "Flybrei Newflidl 150km/h"

[@jonnyueland7790]

You dont need to modify the elevator, just mix flaps and ailerons.

[@LaMulaSessions]

Hey joy saludos desde sevilla te paso un video de una version del Lidl Glider (alita) que hice hace unos meses, espero que te guste si necesitas info con gusto te doy detalles, un fuerte abrazo y gracias por tus videos que animan a mucha gente a introducirse a nuestro increible hobby kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJKzeniPjJlma6c

[@betovillavicencio1384]

Sorry bud but this is one of the worst conventions I ever seen. You can do it way cleaner and faster, but then again it's just me!!!

[@davidb2371]

Please show us HOW!! ..... thankyou.

[@songbbo2876]

if ya don’t like it dont watch

[@Rundumsfliegen]

What does it weight? I Build one as a Glider without motor, at 180g.
