RE: electric glider top pod motor kit
Generally unless you use a wheel dolly or at least a fairly expoosed belly wheel to physically have enough power to drag the model's belly along and off a grass field suggests that it's somewhat overpowered for just basic flying. There's also the risk of the wind liftin a wing and catching the low one in the grass and having a ground loop.
