You'd have to be comfortable with a fairly quick aileron plane. The 18mm mount is designed for C motors which just are more for show in this plane given the weight, its designed for air start when flying not for ground launch.. You have to epoxy plug the bp motors so they don't eject and throw off your CG, which is a motor modification so not NAR and AMA approved, if you fly at your own field it doesn't matter. Or you could work out some venting scheme. You coud try the 18mm aerotech D 2.3 but again given the weight of the model and the thrust of these motors at around 6 ounces they are just an aerial effect more than any real boost gain compared to the electric motor thrust. There is an arf Klima sells for their rocket motors but their motors don't have enough thrust to take off vertically, you have to use a ramp type setup.
