Default Electirc to Glow Conversion

I have a OS S-.30 engine that needs a home. It will swing a 9x6 - 11x4 prop at 13000 rpm.

I was thinking about converting an electric to glow since this is where most of the 4lb planes are being manufactured now. How do you think the Sukhoi 29 S30E .30 from Hobby-Lobby would be as a glow model???

Here is the link: http://www.hobby-lobby.com/sukhoi29.htm

This motor only weights 7.5 oz.

Total weight of recomended electric equipment 13.7oz.

Total weight of my equipment: 9.5oz.

With adding a 6 oz tank that brings the weight total to 16.5 oz. That is an increase of just under 3oz.
