No doubt, a ½A6-4 would be a great companion to the current ½A6-2, but I'm afraid the better (ie, more realizable) answer is a ½A3-4T adapted up to 18mm.

No can do - the only place I get to fly is at our club launches, so NAR rules are always in effect (no modified motors). So cutting down a regular motor is not an option. And I thought of using the adapter with a 1/2A3-4T (I have the Semoc Midget that comes with T motor adapter sleeves), but as with using the A10-0 and A10-3T, it adds weight to the motor end of the model that wouldn't be there with an S motor using the current style casings. Granted, not a big deal, but still worth thinking about.
