$9 Lidl Glider RC conversion - NEVER fly with a bent propeller!

Hurriedly threw on some spare servos, old ESC, and 1806 motor on a EPO (?) foam glider from Lidl that was meant to be a kid's toy to throw around. It flies great until you start hitting trees.

Very nice conversion! That is capable of some nice slow flight. Well done! See you in the Air!

Which battery

[@theleabres]

I used two types and both work well. 2S 800mah and 3S 1000 mah. Just make sure to move them aft or forward to maintain the CG.

@@vwing7332 Racerstar 1806, 18 amp ESC, 5 X 3 prop. If you only want to use a 2S battery, go with a 10 amp ESC.

@@vwing7332 if you're going with a 3S, pick one from 500 mah to 850 mah. You'll have plenty of power and flight times of over 6 minutes or more if you get up high, catch thermals, and turn off the motor while you glide around.
