£19.99 delivered and in 2 days!
An EPO chuck blider but rather bigger at 1200mm span than the 860mm of the LIDL XL
An obvious convesion to an RC power glider. Although EPO is almost indestructable it is quite a bit heavier than XPS and It is also more flexible so needs reinforcing even as a chuck glider. Carbon tube spars included in the box!
I got the LIDL to 226g ready to go powered so sub 250g but the FX707S weighs in at 280g as a glider!. There is 83g of ballast but removing that still does not leave much for motor, ESC, Rx, servos and battery and still keep below 250g.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Are the plastic bits for the tail plane and fin mounting present?

Also not sure if you have noticed there is a hole right at the back of the fuzz which I think the short carbon spar is meant to be slid inside to give it strength.
The short length is the right size for this purpose.

Hope the dealer comes up with a solution. I doubt replacement wing mount trays are likely so matbe a complete new fuselage.

There should be a long and short carbon tube. The long one goes into that hole in the fuselage. It is long enough to go all the way down the rear fuselage.
The shorter one is a wing brace. There are holes in the wing quite close to the leading edge. Both tubes are the same diameter.

Got confused as ! shortened both rods on mine.
Any luck with the front wing mount?. It is of course factory fitted so at best it might be a long wait from China.

he was told that my sales contract was with him and not his supplier so will just wait and see what happens.
I prob won't use the mount might make something better, but thats not the point.
As for the rod's don't worry about it.
