Do you think the airframe is sturdy enough and will hold up with
a glow engine? I would like to have one but don't really want to
use electric power.

In my opinion no, even though a previous post indicates someone converted to glow and loves it. The firewall, the lightening for good airflow to the battery compartment all reduce the strength and unlike electric with smooth idle up, the glow certainly will produce more vibration. After cutting the motor mount box to shorten it, I can tell you it is light weight 1/16" ply and really is built for light weight and only the minimum strength needed...
