This is a LIDL chuck glider conversion into a twin motor RC plane. I call it the "TWIN TURBO LIDL". The time lapse build video will show you the complete build of a 7,99 EUR kids toy into a fast and highly maneuverable RC plane. With the video and my information below (parts list, plan, STL files) you can also build your own one. If you haven't got a LIDL glider just wait until around May/June where LIDL will have them on sale in the store and in their online shops ... every year!

@1mikeb 2 года назад

That's probably one of the nicest LIDL conversions I've seen, very clean. I like the 2 motor approach. I'm starting my own and will use many of your techniques, and 2 motors. I am building it much lighter, trying to keep it under 400g. I recommend cutting the packing tape off the ESCs to help with cooling. Looking forward to a flight video!

@bavarian_rc 2 года назад

Hey Mike thanks a lot! The twin setup is definitely a lot of fun (especially with the differential thrust). Will be interesting to see how the light weight approach works ... below 400g with twins could be a challenge. The cooling of the ESCs is still quite OK. The max. temp is around 65-70°C. I will have to see what happens during summer. If they get too hot I will test without the packing tape. Enjoy your Lidl build,

You are really good at free hand cutting with the dremel. I would have been all over the place. Nice work.

@davidelliott5843 Год назад

@@bavarian_rc Also be careful which side of the cutter you use. Teeth cutting down into the job, will encourage it to dig into the work. Using the tool so it cuts upwards (away from the job) is less aggressive.

@bavarian_rc 11 месяцев назад

My initial thought for the 3 bladed props was to keep the diameter small and avoid breaking props at landing. But obviously breaking was never an issue with the flexible HQ props. Never thought about going back to a 2 blade prop. But you are right, efficiency will be better. Definitely worth a try.

@NDMCN 11 месяцев назад

@@bavarian_rc there is too little gain between 2 and 3 blades at this diameters but we fly with 3 blades with drones mainly because of the feeling while doing sudden movements. Also at static thrust tests you will see there is not much difference in thrust but you will draw less amp from battery. İ also have my own lidl build with lion setup you can try 4s or 5s lion 18650 batteries if your esc allow you with this motor and 5" props for long flights but stick to the lipo for this kind of crazy flights, anyway still 4s would be great to watch hehe have a nice day

@wizard_techie Год назад

Great video. I built a very similar Lidl twin a few years ago and it is still flying well and frequently now. I mounted my motors above the wing which seems good so it will be interesting to see if yours pitches up under power...

@bavarian_rc Год назад

Thanks! I had some pitch up effects under power at the beginning. After some flights I found a motor down thrust of 2,5 degrees working quite well to compensate the effect. Another issue with mounting the motors under the wing is that the props are touching the ground when landing. By using the HQ props which have some flexibility I managed to avoid broken props. Check out the flight video to see how it behaves in the air: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9_H6sVcMOhw.html

@paulcox3229 5 месяцев назад

@@bavarian_rc . Good afternoon from the UK 👋. I’m pleased to report that the maiden flight was a great success. Very little trim required and superb handling. Could I please ask what percentage of differential thrust you have programmed? I’ve started at 25%, but think I could dial in more. Thanks again for posting your video cataloguing the conversion. I really appreciate the effort that this must have taken you.

@bavarian_rc 5 месяцев назад

That‘s great news! I actually went quite crazy with the differential thrust and used 85%. This allows for these weird flat spins. To enter the flat spin I usually pull up vertically, then reduce thrust to about 50%, wait a moment until the plane has slowed down and then slam in full nose down and full left aileron. About 1 second later I add full differential thrust to the right still keeping full down and full left aileron. The plane stays in the flat spin as long as you keep these control inputs. My longest flat spin was like 20 seconds. Thanks again for your feedback. That‘s the strongest motivation for me to continue producing such content.

@paulcox3229 5 месяцев назад

@@bavarian_rc Excellent. I thought I needed more differential, but didn’t appreciate just how much! Will tweak my Tx parameters immediately 😉. Thank you so much for walk through for entering the flat spin too. I don’t have another flying slot until 2024 now (no too long), but will be sure to update you on progress. Good fun this hobby isn’t it? Merry Christmas from the small village of Bisley, Surrey. Paul. 🧑‍🎄

@bavarian_rc 5 месяцев назад

At the moment I am also not flying a lot due to either bad weather or the fact that the time before Christmas is always pretty busy. Sometimes I just strap my Twin Turbo to my backpack and take it with me on a Sunday afternoon family walk to do 1 or 2 flights (have a look at my Instagram account to see how that looks like). It always guarantees some suprised looks of other people seeing me walk by with a toy plane strapped to my back. For me this is the best hobby in the world. I am trying to get my boy into the hobby and we are currently building together his first own RC plane. I try to do what my father did with me when I was young. Keep me updated on your further progress and if you want, send me a foto of your Lidl (my mail address is in the channel impressum). I would really love to see how it looks like. I wish you as well a merry Christmas and great flying in 2024. Cheers, Robert.

For fine slices into the foam I'd prefer a soldiering iron with temperature control, which makes less fuzz, though, depending on the used glue (epoxy or CA) the dremel result might work better. Heat glue has some advantages, but only with specific materials.

The mess when working with the dremel is not as bad as it looks. The vacuum cleaner does the job. Maybe next time I try my hot knife. Should work similar to a soldering iron. On this type of foam I prefer hot glue or PU glue. With CA or Epoxy the results were not as good.

The max. temperature is typically around 60°C. Second: This thing is pretty much nose heavy. So every gram I could get behind the center of gravity (CG is at the position of the carbon tube) was helping me to avoid adding more weight in the tail. Greetings from Bavaria!

Great clean build. Liked the idea for using tape to create markings. Did you 3d print the motor mounts, or buy?

@bavarian_rc 2 года назад

Thanks a lot! The tape has a double function. First - you can better see the markings without leaving traces on the material. Second - when I want to mill along a line I make a small cut with the blade first and then use the Dremel with the milling cutter. It perfectly runs along the line and the tape prevents it from going all over the place. I 3d printed the motor mounts. Found them on thingiverse. The link is in the video description.

@theoztreecrasher2647 Год назад

Because these gliders are made of very flexible EPP not stiff and brittle EPS, using a hard and brittle adhesive like CA (Superglue) would NOT be a good choice. As the foam flexes the CA will crack away from it. Also "Foam Safe" glues are for EPS - with EPP you can use things like rubber/contact cements which contain toluene. Using them on EPS would give a gooey mess instantly! Provided you make fairly neat fitting joints and scrape off any extrusions, hot glue makes a good and reasonably light job. Also 1 slight problem with EPP foamies is that there is often mold-release compound still coating the outside. This can make it difficult to get glues/tapes/adhesives to stick properly. You can try cleaning the mating surfaces with isopropyl alcohol or roughing them up with sandpaper but generally a good hot application of hot glue will slightly melt into the foam and produce a really solid bond. And speaking of flexibility, you will notice that the builder has opted for slightly flexible props rather than the very stiff (and brittle) props used on racing quads. These are a little less efficient than the stiff ones but will take a LOT MORE heavy landings before they need replacing! 😉

Thanks for giving a lot better answer than I did 😜 I didn’t think of the effect of the brittle CA on the flexible EPP. 👍 Cheers!

This is one that I found: Holybro Brushless QAV250 Motor (www.mybotshop.de/Holybro-Brushless-QAV250-Motor) - also available in CW and CCW which is quite nice as it compensates the torque on a twin.

@bavarian_rc 2 года назад

The dihedral leads to a self stabilizing effect. I was looking for high maneuverability with very high roll rates. The dihedral would counteract to this. If you would go for a very light thermal glider you would want to have dihedral for stabilizing the plane while circling in the thermals.

I’m a bit confused by the new German model aircraft regulation. This build is about 580g. Does it mean I have to get a certification before I fly this plane? The regulation say that I don’t need certification for something less than 250g. In that case I would try to build something with smaller battery and single motor. But again, can someone clarify if my understanding is right?

@bavarian_rc 7 месяцев назад

As a simplified view: Every model that is heavier than 250g needs to have your eID (your registration) attached to it. If your model is heavier than 2kg or you are flying higher than 120m above ground you need a proof of knowledge ("Kenntnisnachweis").

@davidelliott5843 Год назад

The DeHavilland Mosquito from WW2 was built from resin bonded plywood and power by two 1500 bhp Merlin engines. For quite some time the were the fastest aircraft of WW2. However the engines both turned the same way so pilots had to be extremely careful on takeoff. Many were lost due to the torque effect. The US P-38 had two Allison V12 engines but turbocharged to make similar power to Merlins. These turned in opposite directions for stability. I believe they rotated inwards (clockwise on left when viewed from the front). It would be interesting to see this model fly with inwards, outwards and same direction motors.

How did you wire up the receiver to get differential thrust and 3 servos to a 6 channel receiver and how did you configure the transmitter for this aswell

@bavarian_rc 2 года назад

Hi, the wiring on the receiver is as follows: 1: Right ESC, 2: Left Aileron, 3: Elevator, 4: Right Aileron, 5: Telemetry, 6: Left ESC, in the receiver map channel 5 -->4 (to have the right aileron on 4). Configuration of the transmitter: Mix channel 1 --> 6 (curve: -100% to +100%) (for throttle), Mix channel 4 --> 1 (curve: -85% to +85%), Mix channel 4 --> 6 (curve: +85% to -85%). You might need to invert the curves if the wrong motor is spinning when applying rudder input. Be careful when trying this - always remove the props! It was a pain until I got this working for the first time but finally it works. Hope this helps!

If you compare a carbon tube and a carbon rod of the same weight (meaning rod with a smaller diameter than the tube) then the tube is much stronger (stiffer) than the rod. So in the end the benefit is to save weight.

FYI if you coat that wing with box tape, you wont have to put a reinforcing rod into it, and it smooths out the wing. if you layer the tape to overlap towards the rear, you create more lift due to the stair casing affect of the layering. i used to do this with gliders and mount 0.49's on them and fly them during the early 2000's.

I am using packing tape a lot on my foam board builds to reinforce them. Never thought about using it on a foamy except for covering things like ESC in the wing. Need to try this. Do the layers work like a kind of KFm airfoil?

@danratsnapnames Год назад

@@bavarian_rc it can if you layer it so that the top stepps towards the leading edge and the bottom steps towards the rear of the wind. you'll cause the top the drag and the bottom to slip. which in turn causes lift. also if you pull the tape while setting it onto the wing, you'll cause a slight tension on the wing, then when you do the 2nd side it will pull it back, which causes the wing to become very rigid.
