Hi, i got a 77 inch glider, i want a brushless motor for it
Hey guys I have a 77 inch wingspan glider. Now i wanna put a brushless motor so i can fly when i feel like. My friend slop at a place, if wind calms down we can end up landing on the water way below. I only went once to see him fly so i have not to much experence, so can i buy a pod? Or should i cut a bit on the noce and put a 1/2a engine or outwanner? What you guys recondmend? If i'm going for brushless it would be a brushless from hobby king or hobby city, same store. Please help me!!

Give Esprit Models a call, they deal with those things all day and I'm sure they could recommend a good power system for it.

I have an Goldberg Electra (78" wing) - looks like you have the sister to it only sailplane version (not sure what your is).
Here is what I use and HIGHLY recommend - it goes great, weighs little and is very affordable. Suggest the turnigy ESC 18 or 25 (I use the 25).
KDA20-22L - hacker Style Brushless Outrunner 20-22L https://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITED...idProduct=4700
HX8080 - hexTronik Balancer/Charger Dual Charge Capable (this thing is so inexpensive and works well)
I used the 2200 3S Lip - I don't believe I have ever drained it as this thing thermals so well and is so much lighter than when I had a cobalt.
I use a folding prop (this has a special size - order it from them), current draw starts at 15A and drops down to 12 or so.
Love it.

PS - looks like your stab is broke...

My stab is broken but i kindof fixed it, but bent it goes once again. I glued the stab and used a brace but two or three hours l8ter i took off the brace because the exboxy was already dried but there it went again back to where it was but it is glued and not broken but bent. But it isn't that bad.
