Now that i have all parts it is time to install the motor and finalize the project. I had one samll motor that could fit into the nose and provide enough thrust for this model from hobbyking https://hobbyking.com/fr_fr/ax-1806n-2100kv-brushless-micro-motor-19g.html . A light weight motor, 19g, for 337g of thrust while the glider is for the moment less than 350g.

With this motor i choose a 10A ESC also from Hobbyking https://hobbyking.com/fr_fr/hobbyking-10a-2-3s-esc-1a-ubec.html

Patrick from 3d-printz helped me for getting the right motor nose design allowing a good fit by keeping a nice profil of the fuselage. After 3 iterations we got the right one :

Finally i was able to install the motor, screwed on the its support printed in LW-ASA, and that i glued on the fuselage. With a 850mA 3S battery and the receiver all fits in.

Latest measurements are the global weight and the CG. CG is exactly at 45 mm from leading edge as recommended in the documentation, i will adjust it during the early flights.
