Three Lidl XL rc glider conversions summer evening slope session

[@helomike7000]

I am impressed with how well you guys maintain orientation! Looks like you had alot of fun... 😊

[@heady2008]

Thanks Mike. It was quite a job editing down over 25 mins of frantic flying to just over 3:30. Not bad for £7.99, two £3 servos and some bits and bobs

They are great Lidl planes once pitcheron converted, and on the slopes. Green eyed monster here in NZ. ;-D

[@heady2008]

Do you want me to see how much the postage would be? :-)

[@alanbarnstable6874]

Some great shots Andy, can anyone else in the world match our Lidl fleet ?

[@heady2008]

Thanks Alan. I count eight local flyers who have one or in process of building. Now that would be something and guaranteed slope carnage

[@leofraser308]

Looks great - where are you flying?

[@heady2008]

Just to the left of Maes Knoll tump www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=8405 www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=51.398776952361885%2C-2.5433354453125503&spn=0.859804%2C2.460938&hl=en&msa=0&z=12&ie=UTF8&mid=13kQaIMPrdnn09TlZdU1fZn2J5uk Works great in SW-W conditions. It's not paticulary big but it's fairly steep and the land is falling away all the way to Chew Valley lake in the distance

What control mix do you use, is it straight elevon mixing?

[@heady2008]

Yep,elevon mixing and for rolls both wing halves move the same as elevons. For up the le rises

[@GrandadsOtherChannel]

Excellent :-)

[@heady2008]

Thanks. Now to co-ordinate the other five local Lidl pilots to get eight up at once
