I am not sure where to post this so it you see it in another forum please understand I am simply spreading some seeds in an effort to get started in the right direction.
I build RC Sailplanes or a living and specifically models designed for F5J style flying. To this end they are very light and very clean. They are sent to a starting altitude of 75-150m via a small electric motors.
I have two models a 3M and a 3.5M, the smaller one is normally 680g with motor, battery and all the goodies. The 3.5 should come in just under 1Kg. Obviously these numbers go down with the removal of the motor, ESC, battery and prop system.
I would like to build a couple into rocket boost gliders but I have no idea what motor would be a good option. Obviously we need enough total power but I would prefer the wings stay attached.
All help is welcome and greatly appreciated.
