I don't think a ducted fan is the way to go, but I could get excited
about an electric sustainer in the nose if available for say10K with
folding prop, controller and battery. Nose weight of the motor is
counter balanced with battery in aft fuselage, but they wont 25K for
the one installed on a LAK-17.

Possibly, a folding propeller design like the Carat uses would make
installation a lot easier. The battery, controller, motor, and propeller
might be available for $10K total, but you need a battery/motor guy to
complement your composite construction skills. Any Genesis owners like that?
