- I have finally got around to completing my version of a Lidl RC glider conversion.I purchased a few when they became available again earlier this year.
I wanted to try and build a glider that would be lightweight, tough and portable, something I can play with when it’s too windy for my Vector. I like the simple design, no FPV, just back to basics.(I am tempted to put in FPV...)
The really cool thing about the Lidl glider, is there are many conversions and information already available. Also, they are so inexpensive, so spares are cheap.

Looks really neat. Can I ask if you covered the wings with anything, they look nice and shiny?
Yes, I just used parcel tape and smoothed out with a warm iron. I did experiment with laminating film, however I found the foam would deform when heated and there was a larger weight penalty compare to simple parcel tape :) .
looks nice! congratulations !
Great work 👍👍
Thanks 😀 I have tried to keep this build as simple as possible, it has taken me a long time as I have been working on other projects.
I now need some nice weather to get out and fly...
are there any dimensions?
eg
1) total length of fuselage, so one can determine how much of the boom to cut of
2) width and length of the elevons and the fixed outer surfaces.
3) how much deflection up of the elevons measured from flat bottom to lower trailing edge
thanks in advance
1) total length of fuselage, so one can determine how much of the boom to cut off
485mm from nose to tail or the end of rudder is 135mm back from the fuse rear cut out
For wing.
Rudder is 125mm long at its base where it attaches to rear of fuse and has 2 x 3mm carbon rods
For support and hot glued in place.
2) width and length of the elevons and the fixed outer surfaces.
Elevons 220mm x 50mm, outer wing surfaces 185mm x 50mm (wing edge join) and 170mm x 48mm (outer edge and rounded edge).
The outer wing surfaces are mounted using 26mm x 2mm carbon rods and hot glue.
Wings are covered with 50mm white packing tape.
3) how much deflection up of the elevons measured from flat bottom to lower trailing edge
deflection is 14mm up and 14mm down (this max at the moment) this is measured from outer edge relative to neutral.
Extra info ...
Wing spars are 4mm x 450mm and 28mm and 100mm back from leading edge, clip is in the middle.
Servos are 47mm back from leading edge and 54mm away from fuse near the leading edge and 56mm away from the fuse at the trailing edge.
Foam cut out at the nose and canopy was done with a Dremel and a Dremel Rotary Cutting Guide Multi Tool Attachment Kit HSS Router Drill Bit (if you have not done this before, practice on scrap piece 1st!).
Canopy secured by 6 x Neodymium Disc Magnets 6x3mm cyno glue.
Wing clip is a Plastic Safety Breakaway Bra 😊 Buckles Webbing 25mm Wide.
See through RX cover is from a spare blade’s container for a box cutter, cut to size and by pure chance was the exact depth and width I chose to cut out for the RX and RP2040 zero voltage sensor. 😊
thanks a lot! !!
@@pablofpvand also very interesting the RP2040 telemetry,
