lidl rc conversion

A hairy final test for my no.14 Lidl foamie build which I was hoping might be my first RC plane FPV craft. I've flown drones FPV but they have RTH, return to home, so if you lose the plot you don't lose the aircraft! Is this plan a goer? Test flight and my conclusions are here.

My lightweight cheap foamie Lidl glider RC conversion no 14, which I'm hoping will be my 1st venture into rc plane FPV, had yet another video range test. Given the quite windy conditions the actual flight tests went very well since I gave her a bit more down thrust and left thrust. But I...

My no. 14 FPV Lidl RC build, the FPV one, is just one step away from a trial flight. Just need a break in the weather and a spotter so I don't lose it! 😠.

OK folks, I'm now well on the way with my no.14 Lidl RC glider conversion. Been through singles, twins, biplanes, edf's, etc. you name it, I've done it, let alone also 5 mini Lidl's! (Build blogs on my channel.) Different idea for this one and it's an almost 'pure' Lidl. They are such great...

The choice of colours for this years crop of Lidl gliders in the UK was either green, which I didn't consider very practical for an RC plane, or a very lairy pink. I went for pink but having started building a Hunter type plane I realised I couldn't live with a pink hunter, hence I came up with...

If you're looking for a really easy build that's fun to fly, try this! My 'Lidl' Vulcan. It's pretty much crash proof too, survived a nose dive into the deck unscathed! This is the latest flight test with upgraded motor and prop and it was brilliant. One Lidl rc foamie glider, (fusi only...

Super new test flight for my Mini Lidl Biplane! Amazing what you can do with a couple of £5 foamies and some cheap rc parts. Build blog is linked at the end.

Another attempt to 'successfully' maiden the Lidl Big Bird, plus the first flight of my Mini Lidl Hawker Hunter and another small foamie rc 'jet' test. How did it go? OK, the clue is in the video title. 😔 My analysis of the problems and a couple of tips too. '

Here's a quick look back at some of my last 14 Lidl and mini Lidl cheap foamie RC builds, plus a heads-up regarding my latest idea. (Hint. Swept wing.) Coming soon 😊. Watch this space!

My Lidl Stumpy RC conversion had yet another redesign after a few too many fails. Here's the story and why it has gone to the great RC plane graveyard in the sky.

My latest RC build turned out to be a real challenge, though I got there in the end after many hours of searching and frustration. Took a good few hours to figure it out, but I learned something anyway. 😔.

My Lidl chuck glider RC conversion Biplane had a windy outing again after a few trim changes. Wanted to see if it would loop! Build blog and earlier test flights are on my channel. Biplanes are complicated!
