Emir,
What is the prop diameter?
What is the weight of the complete motor assembly?
What are the dimensions of the space, which this assembly occupies when
retracted?
Thanks,
Roy-

Roy,

1m Prop diameter.
Total weight for the self launching configuration is near and below
55kg. Including the structural reinforcement.
The motor bay is 1m long, 0,24m width, 0,35m tall at front, 0,25m at the
back.


What gliders can this be built into and how would the process work?
Where would installation take place?

Without much redesign, gliders that originally have water ballast bags. If you have "wet wings" we have to search a place on the fuselage for the battery packs.
That means that ASW19/20 - Pegasus - LS1/3/4 and others can be modified without much redesign.

The modification would take place in the US. Depending on the orders and the locations of the gliders.
