What Motor and battery pack?

Building a "Bird of Time" and would like to put brushless motor and lipos. What motor and battery would be a good place to start? :confused:

It's too bad you live so far from me (about 1.5 hrs), but for what it's worth a good friend of mine and fellow member of the glider club (GDSHS) at Addison Oaks County Park in Rochester just converted a BoT ARF using a home made triple stator CDrom motor. I forget which planetery GB he is using, but he is swinging a 17 inch prop on 3s1p TP 2100 prolites and he says it climbs almost straight up at "I think" 80oz AUW. We did some Motocalc-ing before so he could try to wind his motor to match my Mega 16/25/3. I think he did, and then some. I would venture to guess a good place to start then would be a Mega 16/25/3 and 3s1p TP 2100 prolites. If you were closer, I'd invite you to come see his fly. Heck, I'll still invite you but I just don't think you would want to drive 1.5 hours to watch someone fly a glider. But I cold be wrong. Let me know.
