I don't think that is the answer, it would slow it down some but not a lot.. The work involved would be major as well. The wing fitting to the fuse would become and issue, you would have to fir out the Ail. as well. Just a lot of work for not quite the results you are after...

A suggestion based on your flying conditions (hand launching) and dunk back in to tall grass on landing.. Why not convert it to electric? I'm sure someone with more experience in electrics then mecould help you figure out the cost and how to goabout it...
