Fliton Jumping jack glow conversion?
Has anyone done anything like this before?
I've take a look at it and looks like a superb pocket F3A ship, but I don't really want to spend all my hard earned dollars on brushless motors and the like.
I was thinking of a nice little .074 or perhaps a .15 in the snout of this baby to have a lot of fun but still smell the nitro.
Is it possible or am I barking up the wrong vertical line?

Sure looks like it would be a blast to fly with a .074. A little too spendy for me but looks like it is well worth the $149

There was a lot of buzz about the jumping jack on the 'other' site when it first came out, and it was reported to be a great flyer. From the pictures I've seen, a glow conversion would require substantial reinforcement of the fuselage from the wing LE fore in order to quell vibration from the recip. engine; it looks pretty flimsy up there. 'Course, that's just my unscientific opinion based on secondhand observation. I say give it a shot and let us know how it turns out!
