Finally got round to flying my Lidl Glider yesterday and well pleased with its performance.
I decided to go for Hot Liner / Aerobatic performance rather than a floater with thermalling capability.
Dihedral was removed from outer wing panels, ailerons added & elevator cut into tailplane.
Pocket was cut into bottom of fuselage for LiPo , receiver & E.S.C mounted in nose with the
E.S.C glued into the removable canopy cover.
Wings, tailplane & fuselage reinforced with carbon rod & strip, all glued with epoxy adhesive.
Motor - H.E.T. Micro 6/20 1,800 KV , Servos Hitec HS65HB -
ESC. - Jeti 18A , LiPo - 3S 1300mAh
Prop - APC 7x5 E - Current Draw limited to 13A - = 143 W = 157 W per Ib
Finished Weight - 412g - wing loading 11.43 oz per sq ft
Control Movement - All + - 10mm with 20% Expo.
Wing incidence is quite high hence large amount of downthrust on motor at about 15 degrees.
2 Pics attached - more to follow showing additional detail.
