Default RE: Can we have a Electric-to-Glow Conversion Forum?

This subject is difficult to search on... the search engine will swap around the words, so you get both "electric to glow" and "glow to electric".
Either way, I've spent a few weeks now trying to seek out the right electric plane to put a .15LA on, and while hunting around I truly have encountered large number of threads, and even more singular posts on the subject.

BTW... Many of these conversions are in the 1/2a forum, but they seem only tolerant up to .15 discussions.
However, there are TONS of .25/.32 (40-45oz/40in-50inch) electric planes out there begging to be "slimed".
Hyperions (Cap580 - what a great looking plane)
3DHS (the 55''ers - even bigger still)
All of the Hanger9's and Electrifly's - (Yaks, 580's, Mini Pulse XT's, UltraSticks, you name it.)
The list is endless...

I think if the forum existed, the ideas would catch on, and we'd start seeing more and more conversions once people realized how easy it is to convert most of these ARF's to glow.

Quite simply... I think the "I converted my whatchacallit ARF to GLOW" threads would serve to encourage others to try the same thing... "Say, that looks easy enough!"


Here's what I turned up with in about 10 minutes... had to stop, the wife calls
