Build a baby Bixler Lidl Glider RC conversion

[Bonzodog]

After 14 Lidl cheap foamie RC conversions, finally, here's my first Lidl pusher! Can't say I've had much success with pushers in the past, but after going against the online advice of the desired thrust angle and changing it to more like my Bixler's angle she flies well. Test flight is in the video as well as build details.

I love this motor, 110 mph arrow with it.

50a esc, 5x7.5 Alc cut down to 4.5x8. (Pitch increases when you cut down props). And it’ll rip!

 

[Mr Man]

Hmm, I might have to try a cut down prop on my arrow, I already have a 5x7.5 pusher prop…

One of the smaller ones, blue with orange specs. Hollowed it out (mostly) and working on wing.

 

[Mr Man]

Just about done! Still needs a canopy and I need to add tail weight. BTW, anybody have suggestions for a canopy? The original plastic one was too heavy and used too much room. (It had lights, probably gonna put it on Something else in the near future.)

 

[Mr Man]

Power pack A motor, 30a blheli esc, probably gonna run 4s…

Did you see my micro mini Lidl, even smaller than yours. Flies really well.
