I was thinking of starting to get into gas powered flight, and one of the
cheapest and easiest ways, I thought, would be to put a small gas engine
on my Ridge Runt slope glider.

Has anyone ever done this?

I was thinking of a Cox Black Widow ('cause I like the name) but beyond
that I'm not use what to use. What kind (size) of prop should I use?

The Ridge Runt has the following characteristics (from box cover):
	Weight: 22oz (I've got 2oz of lead in the nose)
	Span:	50in
	Radio:	2 channel (aileron and elevator)
	Config:	T-tail with high wing

Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks a bunch!
