GP its a common modification and many folks have do it and as you surmise its not really that big a deal.

Without going into the pro and con arguments which always seem to go on forever, I will say I have done many such conversion both for myself and sometimes others. Heck I have even done some conversions of returning an 'oldtimer'ish' airplane back to a banded wing.

No there are no really practical kits for such conversion the best way for you to get going is to connect with one of your clubs known builders Every club has a few or more who for a consideration or a hot cup of coffee will spend time with you and guide through the process.

One down side of the conventional method of using a plate at the rear top rails of the fuselage in the wing compartment works great but makes working with your pushrods a bit more crowded.

When using this type of plate I beleve its best not to use tee nuts for the nylon wing bolts but drill, tap and harden with thin CA. This is my preferred method.
