I have been flying the Great Planes Electrostck with a Rimfire .32 and 4000 Mah lipo battery. Less than spectacular performance and short flight times. Though the air frame is very delicate, I have been considering converting to the OS Max 25 FX. I am not sure how the vibration will impact the airframe over time. Any opinions on using the glow 25 fx on the Electrostik

That plane and motor with a 3-cell lipo running a 12x8 or 13x6 prop should be very powerful with 8 minute flight times. If it's not fast enough put in a 4-cell lipo but check the amp draw /prop size.
I wouldn't convert that plane to glow.

I had one of the early ones and powered it with an AXi 2826 with a 4 cell A123 battery. It was a delight to fly but I eventually lost it when the radio failed on a landing and it went straight in. I have a stock one at the present but it hasn't flown yet.

Thank you for the advice regarding the glow conversion of the Great Planes Electrostik. I think leaving the stik as electric is the wiser idea.

Tell us what prop size,esc size, and battery cell count you are using and maybe we can help you tune it up.

I had on a few years ago when they first came out with a Rossi .45 on a tuned pipe and master airscrew 10x7 flew great airframe held up great no problems at all I had so many flights on it I lost track I lost the plane do to a radio problem and never built a new one but I would say go for!

I don't think we're talking about the same plane. If we are, you had to have re-enforced it tremendously.

Yes we are talking about the same plane the only thing i did was put in a new firewall to bolt the motor the motor mount too im going to see if i still have any pictures of it
