Good day all,

Now that my jet K8 has been compromised, I need to find a new way to power the old lady. It will be either a turboprop or a more conventional ICE. I could mount the engine on a pylon over the fuselage like I did with the jet version but I would like to keep the fuselage somewhat clean by installing the engine in the nose.

I'm looking for any information about the SF-24 Motorspatz or any other glider converted into a motorglider with a nose-mounted engine. Pictures or drawings of the engine installation, manufacturer website, anything just to give me an idea.

Below are the drawings of the K8 front fuselage:
