I have been flying glow, mostly a 40 trainer for a few years, but I have been considering an electric sailplane for awhile and these plans have caught my eye.

Since I am new to sailplanes, I do have a few questions about the plane. It seems like this would be somewhat over powered with the motor that is listed, am I missing something about sailplanes, or would something around 450watts be enough? is there anything about this plane that would not be good for a first sailplane? I do enjoy building, both kits and from plans, I have also looked at the Great Planes Spirit kit. Any advice is welcome, thanks.
