LIDL glider RC conversion - TWIN TURBO LIDL - Build Video

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!
