Another Flight of my Lidl Mk2 Glider RC Conversion Full House Slope Soarer
Просмотров 3233 года назад
This is my second conversion, the first was back in 2017 (Mk1) which had a flat bottom wing and quite chunky trailing edges! This Mk2 has much thinner/neater trailing edges, a semi symmetrical wing and wider fuselage. My first was ailerons, elevator and rudder....this one has flaps too, 6 servos in total.

New fuse on this, now has a carbon and kevlar fuse and is a fair bit lighter! May well be half another model but the wing and vtail match :) Really no wind and changing direction to quite off the slope. Landing was fine just not in shot....but all lift just vanished!

Sweet!
Nice slope Russell - where is that, maybe Whitesheet? I'm in North Yorkshire, we fly Pule Hill, Nont Sarahs, Baildon Moor and the Hole of Horcum (as members)
It's my local slope Hambledon Hill North Dorset 👍😎
Hi dear sir pleas Tell me ...you happy with Hacker models?
To be honest it was a bit boring, when the wind picked up it struggled to penetrate and there was no provision for ballast. I think the wing section is a bit thick but being foam with only a little carbon it couldn't be thin. I would get a Dreamflight Ahi for similar money instead....way more fun and can fly well in a wider wind range 👍
ahi is an epo made in the form that the hacker is cutting the epp .. so there will be about rough surface however thank you for the answer a lot
This was insane
The Sailplane can thermal. How good is it
Unfortunately I damaged it a long time ago and not fixed it yet. I will get it flying again, just the fuse needs painting now so I've not flown it enough to answer, sorry
What bottle you using for the nilfisk and what fitting for it?
Mine was from here, and looks like the classic all metal connector www.aliexpress.com/item/32477674339.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d5Mn6d2
Hi Russell great video. Did you take the model straight out of the box or did you modify it ,thanks ?
Hi Roy, yes much modified from what it was just a chuck glider. If you click on the link in the description you will find a Facebook group and find mine and others conversions...if you're near North Dorset UK at all it is for sale 👍
@@RWHITT Have you considered selling these? I'd be up for buying one that's been modded?
@@FrankDoylezw not really, the two that I have done to date have taken a considerable amount of time to do.... the most recent has 6 servos and detachable wings....but boy does it fly well 😁👍
@@RWHITT I will just need to have a crack at my own, I reckon 😊👍🏻 Yours really look the business - I hope I can do similar!
@@FrankDoylezw join the Facebook group if you haven't already, loads of versions on there 👍good luck👍
That's great! So long to be in the air and not get tired. Your video is a tutorial for a glider.
Is this the toolpro or meguiars lance from super cheap auto? I need help deciding

good job ... Video from the future... 2018.06.24
indeed :D
Hi I order this Discus 2a deluxe from topmodel. How is it? I'm worry about the weight cos I'm changing it to electric.
mine is electric....think it's about 5-5.5kg :) great model..... I have crashed it a while ago and need to finish the repair :( , it is strong though and now I have flown for a few more years I should be better :) all the best with yours, very good quality :)
What kind of control surfaces do you use?
This has ailerons, elevator and rudder. I tried rudder and elevator only at first but it didn't turn well enough. 😁
Do you use ailerons as normal plane modes, or the whole wing is moving like in this video ? ruclips.net/video/Eaxr_snSidY/видео.html
^^Interested to find this information too
@@dreja123 sorry just seen this...its normal ailerons, elevator and rudder, not the pitcheron conversion 👍
nice job Russell is that the slop behind your place
Dave Whittaker yep 😁👍
nice i have buy the same plane from lidl i have try slope soring white a multiplex fox but now i can build a bigger here is my slope video from de multiplex fox ruclips.net/video/41x6TZ6OtQQ/видео.html
Yeah Russell ! <3
A pilot who only seems to know how to do Right Hand turns only! :(
Tony Baker I did it intentionally so not to video blue sky!!! :D :D
Hmmm. Honest opinion: not as good as the old trusted Mobius1. No fine details, everything looks like it has passed through Photoshop's "watercolor" filter. I'm under impression both Runcam2 and Firefly Q6 are little more than just trying to steal some Mobius users who grew a bit tired of Mobius. Not because Mobius was 'bad' - just because they're ready for a change, and here it comes, in silver, yellow, white and black!! :)
We will see as this is my first settings and also waiting on a replacement as the wide view has a small mark on the lens so this is narrow. I was unimpressed with Runcam and Foxeer reviews so thought I would try out something new. It is more usable than my bulky Gopro 3 Black being a better shape so doesn't affect airflow and is much lighter too. You are right, I wouldn't have bought a Mobius because it is outdated, 30fps in 1080 is not what I wanted (I think that is its res) and the built in OLED screen is as easy to navigate as GoPro's. Many more settings to have a play with but it's pretty good.....120fps in 720 may produce some good slo-mo shots, we will see!
I've killed by Mobius :( and now I am looking for the Q6 for airplane and drone filming. After looking at all the Q6/Runcam 2/Mobius comparative movies I think Q6 has the best quality/price ratio being still vulnerable and risky to use in RC environment...
I think any action cam has a risk on rc aircraft but the upside it's not hundreds of pounds, is a good shape (not a brick), light weight and has a really good picture.....just bought a new 4k tv and my other video pointing down the wing of the glider looks seriously good on a 49inch TV :)
Where you flying looks familiar
+Ian Huxstep Hiya, Broadstone Recreation ground ;)
Jaro makes great models, I have 3 Mini E's. Good video!
They are fantastic models! Thanks :-) I do keep an eye out for a mini to add to the fleet :-) If you are on Facebook come and join Jaro Muller Models :-)
Just got one, building it
How fast was the wind? I've just finished building one and am maiden'ing soon. Great vid : )
+Cam Bo Sorry didn't see your post! :-/ I don't know the wind speed but it was off to the left, poor lift at times. Did well for the conditions :) Hope your maiden went well!? I think it needs ballast for when the wind is quite strong
Thanks for that. Maiden went well. Mine needed weight adding to the tail for COG balancing - which is a first for me to add weight there. Plane flies well and is pretty sturdy too. I don't know what you think but I find the canopy and the way it attaches flaky and felt the need to put some rubber bands round it.
Funny I added a bit to the tail also! :D I didn't use their canopy attachment I made a couple of thin ply frames to strengthen the canopy and attached magnets. ;) Did a few mods, my kit turned up without enough carbon rods so added strips instead, :)
nice glider
Felipe Garcia many thanks :)
epic looking slope sight. I'm envious.
Thanks, it's not bad, 20mins walk to the top from my front door :) however not as warm as your videos!!! :D
It flight very good. And it is not very windy there.. a very good model. Greetings.
Was only a light breeze...brilliant plane :) thanks
Good site for soaring. Alula and Weasel are very good wings. I think dream flight is not producing alula and weasel more. They are now with the Libelle DLG (a very attractive dlg). Greetings.
Hi, I have the Libelle on my other videos :) Dream Flight are remaking both the Alula and Weasel :) :) facebook.com/dream.flight.rc/photos/a.395245773875795.92882.393820050685034/806027806130921/?type=1&theater :D
Russell Whittam Wow. Its true. Great news!. Thanks for the info. I'm going to watch your Libelle videos ..
mundorc Yes very....I don't have an Alula yet ;)
+mundorc Weasel had been 3 years off the market, but now new Weasel TREK is available!
+SladkaPritomnost Yes, its true. Thanks.
I have seen a post on Facebook that they're remaking the Weasel!! :D :D
+Russell Whittam new Weasel TREK is now available!
+SladkaPritomnost yep 😊
Great slope !
Cheers :)
Really nice Glider looks excellent & at home
Cheers :) I need a bit more practice before I'm at home with it ;)
Test glide it with a lite toss a few times petro till you find a sweet spot :-)
Hey Russel... Nice job, I also picked me up one of these, Any chance you can tell me your CG location mate.. I used the recommended one in the manual and it nosedived and smashed the front pod off.. Have to repair it now but Im sure the CG is off. Pat
is this that imitation alula i'm seeing on ebay for 25 bucks?
Yeah, wanted to try a cheap Dlg plane to see if was for me, good light lift plane and good fun :) unlikely to be as good as the legendary Alula though! Dream Flight have announced their new plane the Libelle! which is out at the end of the month.....I will be getting one for sure, nice looking piece of kit! facebook.com/dream.flight.rc/photos/a.629873577079679.1073741827.393820050685034/670606553006381/?type=1&relevant_count=1 ;)
Yep they are mega tough!!! :)
Did they survive?
Oh yes......I think she will be fast!!!
Stock motor now replaced with MUCH more powerful variant. Video of destruction to follow.....
All stock and 2s! The fan has been taken out and balanced since the video and goes alittle better!
yep you skimed the fence!
Nice!
Well it was only 2 didn't think there was much point! :-)
Thank-you for not posting my previous efforts :-)
180 spin then rolls backwards, the thing is so powerful it spins and slides all over the place!!
anyway def not baseball, see the goals at each end! don't think they are used in baseball!! :)
It was my brothers Jato, I'm pretty sure there is no reverse.
not sand, it's a weird gravel stuff
this is England you prat!!! It is a hockey pitch, it's my old school, I know!!
That is an excellent place for some Jato fun... a gigantic dirt field.
