$4795 from JetCats website and only 42lbs thrust.

The size of these things might lend them to being installed in the fin. No
heavy and complicated extension mechanism or bomb bay doors.

I keep wondering what the drag penalty would be for a fixed
installation, possibly a nacelle on a short pylon with pop-down
intake and exhaust fairings.

I like your fin mount idea, but it would probably need to be designed
in to the glider. OTOH a fixed non-fin installation could be
retro-fitted.
