Default RE: ?? WHATS GOOD VIDEO PLANE ENGINEPOD OVER WING ??

I have an OS LA .40 that I want to use with some type of modified sailplane platform...the modification being to put an engine pod in either a normal, or pusher configuration. I'm thinking about the sailplane because allot of the AP video's I've looked at have such "jerky" motion that its really distracting. I would think a sailplane would solve much of that, and then some electronic stabilization might take care of the rest. I've never flown a sailplane but I guess they would be hard to control in higher winds, which is probably why you don't hear about them as AP platforms very much.
