Default power pod to get glider up

Anyone use a power pod to get your glider in the air? What engine do you use? What size glider?

Thanks

My friends and I have been using a GP power pod equipped with a norvel big mig .061 engine. The engine comes with a fuel tank mount. We have 3 of these and are very happy with them. we use a 6x3 prop on them. These engine start easily and are reliable. I hope this helps. Mike
