Default Glow engine on glider

If one had a glider or an electric glider, how could you attach a glow engine to the nose (permanently, not a power pod)
Any build alongs or online instructions how to convert it to glow, how to chop off the nose cone and glue in a motor mount.

I like the idea of a glider with a .10-.15 glow engine and a small 1-2oz tank for launching.

Of course the static prop will create drag after the engine is stopped, but it would be a fun experiment and a handy way to launch the glider.

I'm thinking: a short 1 minute climb before engine runs out of fuel and glide back down.
