Has anyone done the conversion to Glow?
I'm thinking a good .25-.35 sized glow engine and a six oz. tank...
Any thoughts.....
SPECIFICATIONS
GPMA1574/ARF; GPMA7500/Rx-R
Wingspan: 52.75 in (1340 mm)
Wing Area: 589 in² (38 dm²)
Weight: 3-3.5 lb (1360-1587 g)
Wing Loading: 11.7-13.6 oz/ft² (36-42 g/dm²)
Length: 45.5 in (1155 mm)
Both require: 4-channel radio, receiver, 11.1V 3200mAh LiPo battery, charger
ARF also requires: 3 micro servos, out-runner brushless motor, 45A brushless ESC

I tried to find information on the great planes electrostick and came up with nothing more than a review done via this site. Anyone actually sell this thing? ARF or RTF, how much?
Thanks

$129.99, in stock as of 12/24.
Tower Hobbies is the mail order retailer for all brands listed at http://www.bestrc.com
Any local hobby shop that handles any of these brands should be able to get the plane for you if you prefer to buy locally.

I must be living wrong, cause I tried tower hobbies and got no results, think I was spelling it wrong. 
I watched this thing on a video, I was impressed.

I bet it would rip with an engine like a .32 SX
The video says it builds in an hour... Maybe glue the hatch on after tank installation for a little more rigidity,some Tri-Stock here and there.
What do you think? Built too Light for Glow?

I saw this at Bob HS in Orlando fl a couple of days ago with the square firewall recessed in maybe an 1/8 inch in and a couple of laser cut 1/8 ply
for different electric setups all you need to do is cut an other square ply blank to hold an engine mount and epoxy it in area for tank looks good
no hacking out a battery tray, should be as easy to install a glow as setting up as the electric just a tank and one more servo for throttle , I have a
K and B 20 with a davis diesel head also an irvine 25 red MRKlll diesel conversion if it needs more a ST 34 Davis head MARTIN
SOME TRI STOCK A COUPLE OF 1/8 PLY GUSSETS SHOULD BE SLAM DUNK
