I have both the original Hobbyking Me-163 that was designed for electric only, that I converted to have an18mm motor mount, and the newer version that has a different electric power system and a built in 18mm motor mount.

Here is a video of my early version HK Me-163 flying electric with an air started C6:

I have acquired a few D10 SU motors for future air starts.

Another Me-163 kit option is the Kilma foam ARF model that is set up for pure rocket power. I have one of these under construction currently. This kit is derived from the Hacker Me-163 electric ARF kit.

It will likely use D10s for vertical launch from the ground and, alternatively, D2.3 reloads for an air start after a piggyback ride up on an RC motherrship.
