My latest project. The Lidl/foamboard EDF Vulcan. My 1st EDF Lidl glider just had an EDF mounted on to of the fusi, this time I wanted to create something that looked like a jet! This is my 9th Lidl build and I had a spare fusi as one of the builds was a biplane! They are all on my channel. Designing was fun, especially figuring the 'engine' intake ducting. I'm pleased with the finished design. It was a long project as this time I ordered the EDF from Aliexpress and it took two months to arrive. I've linked the Aeorc 45mm EDF at Banggood, should be quicker delivery. Around the £15 - £20 mark, depending what deal is on!

Hi Guys
there seems to be a lot of British accents on the videos..... i have to deduced that this is because the Lidl Glider is easily available in Europe... not so much in North America. In following the posts , i have caught the Lidl Glider bug (the community, and all the mods possible). I am having trouble sourcing in US or Canada. Anyone know how to easily purchase this glider in North America ?

Hi Jeff
Lidl is a German store and once a year around Spring time it's in the shops here, but only for a week and VERY cheap. £8 or so. BUT some manufactures have jumped on the bandwagon I think and it is now available all year from other sources. It a Playtive Glider, though other sellers have hiked the price. Search Playtive Glider , here's one, more than double the price though https://www.ebay.com/itm/224477861696

Try Walmart
KN - also looks like what FT were going to call "Power Pack H" used on the "FT Dart". I do not think they ever released it??? Can you confirm motor, ESC. and battery details on your Foamy? I am a newbie (just returning to hobby) ...so need some guidance with electronics....

No, I am using two power pack A's on 3s
Plenty of power, just tested it, everything should go well, a Power Pack H would work but it would be a bit under powered, I believe it uses 1104 motors, and 12a ESC's. I am using two BE1806 2300kv motors from DYS (a cheap brand on amazon).
Yes, here it is, please note I bought this one 2 years ago and apparently they have reduced the quality.
Hobby Lobby Flying Eagle Plane
I also found this one that is better quality.
Hobby Lobby Air Max Glider
I think it would be a better idea to go with the Air Max.
