The ultimate LIDL glider RC conversion into an A-10 Warthog - Build Video

I still had some of the LIDL chuck gliders in the corner of my workshop, waiting for a crazy RC conversion. But what to do with them? When scanning through the different possibilities, I came across the A-10 Warthog. The shape of the LIDL glider wasn't too far away, but certainly it would need some modifications... so there I had my challenge: Build an A-10 Warthog from a LIDL chuck glider.
