Nice construction! Reminds me of the gliders made by Otto Lithenthal.
While I initially was one of the "what are you thinking?" people on this, it
hit me that a glider could be done using the methods you're using. To get a
motor, though....
My only thought is that I hope that you are building bigger...it's the only
way to get the wing area/weight distribution to balance out such that it
could fly. It might be that you'll build a construction not unlike an
ultralight (large hangglider with motor unit on the bottom) to make things work.
