Jeemo
Talk about EXCITING! Introducing Jeemo from Glider-It, the FIRST and so far the ONLY motorglider with a dedicated and integrated turbine inside! Jeemo is engineered as an almost ready to fly kit. (Turbine sold separately.)
The Jeemo is specifically designed to fit the Kingtech K-45G3 turbine which burns either Jet A1 or Kerosene. Kingtech is the technical sponsor of the project. Jeemo can be easily assembled and ready to fly in approximately in eight hours of work.
Jeemo is produced in two different layouts: Fast Slope (FS) and Power Dynamic (PD) applying Glider-It’s latest EXTRALIGHT TECHNOLOGY.
The Jeemo’s kit will be provided with everything is required for the installation of the Kingtech K45 turbine.

The Xicoy X45 turbine should be an excellent option too.

I don't think this qualifies as a "Glider"???
 It's a jet airplane with no landing gear  It's a beauty nonetheless.... |

A Kingtech K45G3 cost less than the kit. The kit is quite complete. Looks like after the turbine you just need to add servos and you RX. Plus the dolly. It should be under 5K complete.
Looks like a hoot to fly. |
