I just built a Zagi 5C combat slope wing and it flies great. There's a great slope sight about 2 miles from me if the wind is blowing from the NE. On the other days I think it would be fun if the Zagi had a motor. Can the Zagi 5C be modified to take a motor pod that could be quickly installed AND quickly removed to turn it back into a slope Wing? I'd like to make the Wing a dual purpose machine if that's possible. Most of the Zagi electrics I've seen have the battery for the motor cut into the wing. Is there a simple way to have a pod attach to the top of the wing that houses the motor battery, motor, and speed control? Then I'd just have to fish the speed control wire into the throttle channel on teh receiver. If this is possible, what motor/battery combo would work? I'm new to electrics so I'd have to buy a charger too.

You've already done most of the hard work.... coming up with the idea and a method.
A strap on pod, with the pusher motor and battery is a simple addition to a Zagi.
The whole thing can be on a plywood plate that is gum-banded on the wing.
