Yes you do need to keep things reasonable to consider a plane as a candidate for electric to glow power. But the light nature of an electric that has even been beefed up for glow power usually still comes out quite a bit lighter than a comparable plane made for glow power. That means smaller engines that don't stress the airframe as much either.

That's pretty cool that somebody actually decided to "vote me off the island" for my suggestion. Glad I could help to strike the right nerve.
