Hi Art-
Did'nt know you where interested in E-Gliders- you must have seen how much fun i have had with mine!- After what you are describing it sounds like an old Spirit 100- I happend to have an old beet up one that I just recenly dug out of storage and are now in the process of refurbising it to El- and have ordered a BM2915-5D Brushless OutRunner that should pull it pretty good- the old one was fully loaded (with flaps), that i now have eliminated and are installing spoilers instead- also planning of using LiPos to keep the weight down. it's a big plane and it should be fun to fly- Let me know how you are making out with yours
Kai
