A radio-controlled electrically-powered model flying wing aircraft having a pusher propeller at the rear wing root powered by an electric motor mounted in a streamlined electric motor housing that extends into the wing and blends smoothly into the wing surface at the center wing chord.
The motor housing, motor and propeller extend beyond the wing trailing edges to ensure efficient propeller operation and to reduce propeller-induced noise.
A battery is secured in a resilient pouch and protected completely inside the wing root, serviceable from the bottom wing surface by removing a quick release flap. Major structural elements are composed of impact resistant, flexible, and resilient materials.
Here is a video of my 105MPH flying wing which in total i only spent a little under $60 for the brushless motor, brushless ESC speed control, and one 4S 1750mAh Lipo Battery. This setup is perfect in every way from the price to the weight of the unit and not to mention the speed you will achieve, yes 105mph, without spending and arm and a leg, as you might guess by now, most motors such as the MEGA will produce the same amount of watts on a 4S lipo but you will spend $110 JUST on the motor.
The setup i mentioned above is the same setup you will see in the video below, a total of 900 Watts of output and again speeds of 100 to even 110mph. You can purchase these 3 items with the below link.

How to use the CG calculator?
I have a epp foam core from flying wing foam and want to install the zagi motor mount. So the question is how to figure out a CG location.
Thanks, Craig

3a 5×5 prop would be optimal,
also remember to purchase a battery 35C to 40C rating
